Face Reading Part 2

June, 2015

Face JPEG

For thousands of years, face reading (or Mien Shiang) has been performed by Eastern medicine practitioners. Combine Western (analyzing the surface) with Eastern (what’s happening internally) techniques to deliver a unique and insightful consultation.

According to the traditional Chinese medicine your right cheek corresponds to the metal elements which on its side are related to the lung and large intestine network. Also, breakout, eczema, mild acne or redness could be a sign of a cold is coming on. Asthma or any other respiratory problems may also show visual symptoms on your right cheek.

Left cheek corresponds to the wood element which is connected to the liver of the human’s body. In addition, any changes on the skin of you left cheek could be a sign of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, inflammation or congestion of toxins in the liver. Changes in this part of your face could be a sign for emotional issues such as depression.

Your nose corresponds to the earth element which indicates a connection to the stomach, spleen and pancreas network. Excessive worry and stress as well as eating deep-fried fatty food or lots of chocolate could result in changes of your nose skin such as redness or broken capillaries.

Waxing

Easy solution is WAXING.  In 2013 Skin Studio won “Best Waxing Studio” by Improper Bostonian. We can wax anything!  If you never tried waxing, it is semi-permanent hair removal method which removes hair from the root. New hair does not grow back in the previously waxed area for up to 2 weeks. To avoid skin irritation we use special Chamomile strip-less warm wax known as hard wax. Our wax attaches to the hair and not the skin, thus making waxing a lot less painful. As long as your hair is the correct length, we can wax any hair type or color.  20 years ago Brazilian bikini was a new phenomenon that everybody heard about but were afraid to try. Now, it became a new normal for a lot of women and trust us, once you had Brazilian bikini wax at Skin Studio, you will never go back to shaving. Dare to try?

Electrolysis

Are you ready for something totally permanent? Have you heard of ELECTROLYSIS?

Lana is a Registered Electrologist, with over 15 years of experience. Electrolysis is currently the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Furthermore, electrolysis works on all skin and hair types, and even on the lightest hair. It works by applying a very small amount of electricity to the base of the hair root, destroying the hair growth tissue and permanently eliminating the regenerative ability of the hair. Since electrolysis treats one hair at a time, the treatment usually requires several appointments. Therefore, if you don’t want to worry about the unwanted hair, try electrolysis and never think about hair on your face or body ever again.
