Susan Gonzalez, owner of MOON Organics and Esthetics, is now offering Sculptural Lift Facial services that help lift facial features and reduce facial tension and pain. A personalized session takes 90 minutes, 75 minutes of which consist of manipulation techniques unique to the treatment. A session also includes a hydrating and cooling mask, arm and hand massage, chakra reading and aromatherapy. The cost is $285.

“Everyone who experiences this technique gets extreme relief—either physically, emotionally or both—because it’s like nothing they’ve ever experienced,” says Gonzalez. She is the only licensed esthetician in the Atlanta area that is fully trained by Yakov Gershkovich, the creator of the technique. Gonzalez is also certified in clinical aromatherapy and plant-based nutrition and is a Level 1 Healing Touch practitioner and a certified cancer coach with PCCI.

Most of her clients see a lifting effect of the face, including lifted brows, cheeks, a sculpted jaw and an overall open expression, says Gonzalez. She adds that most everyone that comes to her with jaw pain reports experiencing immediate relief.

The technique involves manipulating the muscles, tendons and bones of the face in order to release tension, held emotions and stress buried deep in the tissue. It is especially helpful for those with grinding or clenching tendencies, TMJ issues, eye strain and tension between the eyes, according to Gonzalez. It is also very effective for those who want a physical lift to their entire face without the use of injections, fillers or Botox. Most clients see a difference after one session, but many choose to have multiple sessions to deepen the results.

Sculptural Lift Facials are available at Moon Organics in Decatur and at Kindred Studio in Grant Park. For more information, email [email protected] or visit MoonOrganics.com.
