Originating in Japan and gaining popularity across Europe, Harisienne Japanese facial massage is now offered at our Santa Monica clinic. Our esthetician, Maria Iorillo, is among a select few practitioners in the U.S. with advanced training in this specialized technique.

Unlike a standard facial, Harisienne targets all 31 muscles of the face and scalp using precise massage methods and small sculpting tools. The result is a natural “facial workout” that tones and lifts while improving circulation and encouraging collagen production. While best known for its anti-aging benefits — firmer contours, smoother skin, and reduced puffiness — this technique can also enhance pore function and support the fading of acne scars and age spots.

If you’ve been searching for the best facial massage in Santa Monica, Harisienne is unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Sometimes called “facial fitness,” this technique blends:

Acupressure to release jaw and eye tension

Lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and detoxify

Specialized sculpting tools to stimulate facial muscles, boost circulation, and encourage collagen production

Nano-needling, a gentle, non-invasive technique that enhances collagen production and boosts the skin’s natural renewal for a smoother, more refined complexion.

The result is a firmer, lifted look, reduced swelling, and a brighter, healthier complexion. Many patients also notice relief from jaw tension, headaches, and facial tightness.
