Qi Beauty Facials: Anti-Aging Using Holistic, Organic Energy
While many modern esthetic treatments are based on new technology, sometimes the best facial treatments tap into something more ancient. Long before there were serums and lasers, manipulating energy fields played a role in healing.
Qi Beauty Facials use a modern approach to tap into the energy that flows under your skin. This non-invasive treatment balances your energy and revitalizes your skin through specially designed micro-magnets.
Restoring your skin through holistic methods is aligned with an intentional lifestyle, but Qi facials are for everyone. If you’ve had enough of harsh chemical treatments and long recovery times, it might be perfect for you!
Join us as we head into the studio to discover the Qi Beauty Facial.
What is a Qi Beauty Facial?
Qi (chi) comes to us from Chinese traditional medicine. It’s the energy that exists in all living things. Traditional healers used acupuncture, acupressure, and massage to adjust the flow of this energy in their patients. By unblocking your energy, your body heals itself!
Qi Beauty Facials infuse a deep understanding of the energy in your body to restore your skin. Developed by Australian Kathy Pedersen in 2006, the treatment uses unique tools to revitalize your skin. Practitioners use 1000 24 ct gold-plated micro-magnets to realign your meridians and heal your skin.
Each treatment is tailored to your specific skin concerns by placing the micro-magnets along a Matrix. As a non-invasive treatment modality, there’s no downtime following a session, and the results are immediate.
The benefits of a Qi Beauty Facial
Qi Beauty Facials revitalize your skin, bringing out your natural, youthful glow. They work wonders for puffy, fine lines, and wrinkled skin. After this treatment, your skin will feel dewy, radiant, and hydrated. Unlike most anti-aging treatments that stimulate the healing response through impaired skin integrity, Qi Beauty Facials do the opposite.
Typical results include having firmer skin that’s toned and lifted. Fine lines and wrinkles will fade after one treatment and disappear with regular sessions. Some clients also see a reduction in hyperpigmentation and reduced inflammation following their treatment. You’ll see an overall decrease in redness and enjoy plumper, fuller skin.
Who can receive this facial treatment?
This treatment works well with every skin type. Because it’s a non-invasive approach to skincare, side effects are uncommon. However, some people should avoid this treatment. Those with gold allergies and pregnant people shouldn’t have this treatment.
Additionally, if you’ve had Botox or dermal fillers, give yourself a month before scheduling a Qi Beauty Facial. Active infections, cold sores, cancer, and taking certain medications rule you out from this treatment as well.
How often do you have to get a Qi Facial before seeing results?
You’ll see and feel results after your first session. Wrinkles and fine lines will fade, and your skin will feel refreshed and full. Practitioners recommend monthly treatments to appreciate the effect fully. The benefits are cumulative, so regular sessions help your skin keep getting better!
The procedure of a Qi Beauty Facial
Going in for a Qi Beauty Facial is a unique experience. It’s like a regular facial, but the magnets add a meditative and relaxed air to your session.
Before the treatment begins, your provider will spend time talking with you about your goals and lifestyle factors. They do this to provide a customized experience based on your needs.
How to prepare for your facial appointment
In the days leading up to your session, avoiding exfoliants and prescription creams is recommended. Come to your appointment hydrated and with a clean face.
What happens during a Qi Beauty Facial
Once your provider has the opportunity to assess your skin concerns and goals, they’ll prepare your skin. Using a cleanser, they’ll remove skin oils that can reduce the effect of the magnets. They’ll apply a serum to your skin to help the magnets adhere. During the next phase, they’ll arrange them based on the Matrix developed for your specific concerns.
The micro-magnets sit on your skin for 20 to 25 minutes for the frequency to sink in. It’s common for your provider to add LED light therapy, but that varies.
After they’ve had a chance to work, your provider will remove the magnets and apply serum and moisturizer to your skin.
How to take care of your skin post-treatment
This treatment works on the cellular level to flush out toxins and fluids. Staying hydrated in the days after your session is important. Qi Beauty also produces kits to use at home to prolong the effects. They’re simple to use and keep your skin looking balanced in between sessions.
How much does a Qi Facial cost?
Qi Beauty Facials work wonders for your skin. Treatments usually start around $280 for a 60-minute session. Add-ons to the modality can increase the cost.
