Invasive surgery is no longer the end all-be all of cosmetic procedures. Through diligent massage, effective products, and a few of these treatments, you can plump and tighten the skin while avoiding going under the knife.

Acupuncture 
 
Also called &ldquo;aculifting,&rdquo; the&nbsp;technique consists of placing about 20 needles on the points of the face connected to the meridians which cross the body and connect the organs. As a result, blood circulation and cell turnover increase. The needles contract and relax the muscles responsible for sagging, and also encourage the skin to&nbsp;produce more collagen and elastin. After&nbsp;six to eight sessions, the skin appears more&nbsp;plumped and features more defined.&nbsp;

Kobido Massage 
 
Also referred to as Japanese facial massage, Kobido&nbsp;stimulates skin microcirculation, lymphatic drainage, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/how-to-detox-body-wellness-2021">elimination of toxins</a>. Alternating between&nbsp;pinching, rubbing, kneading and sliding movements, the massage relieves tension and results in a more sculpted-looking face. Results are&nbsp;visible from the first treatment, and can&nbsp;be maintained with a monthly massage.

Luxopuncture 
 
This technique, based on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/guide-to-detox-massages">stimulation of lymphatic drainage</a> and microcirculation, consists of sending heat to the deep layers of the skin to promote the contraction of the collagen fibers using an infrared beam.&nbsp;After eight sessions on average, skin appears visibly more tightened, particularly in the orbital area.

The Chinese Facelift 
 
This ancestral technique&nbsp;stimulates the facial muscles and encourages a better circulation of energy. By targeting <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/tongue-diagnosis-wellness-chinese-medicine-health">acupuncture points</a> located on the skull, neck, trapezius, and face, the Chinese facelift relaxes tight areas, while pinching lifts the skin to&nbsp;smooth out wrinkles and stimulate lymphatic drainage.&nbsp;

Endermologie 
 
Developed by French engineer Louis-Paul Guitay (LPG), Endermologie is a deep-tissue massage treatment often used to reduce the appearance of cellulite. However, it can also be used for anti-aging, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and plumping up areas that have become hollow. A small handheld device is passed over the face and neck, mechanically stimulating the skin. 8-10 sessions will give you a long-lasting refresh.
