ANNA TSANKOVA: WORLD FACE MASSAGE CHAMPION DESIGNS NEW SIGNATURE TREATMENT

2023 World Face Massage Champion, Anna Tsankova, recently designed Swissline’s innovative Signature Face Sculpting treatment, which made its worldwide debut in June at Six Senses Spa Marbella. The treatment is integrated into Swissline’s Le Grand Soin au Collagène Pur, and offered as an add-on treatment to other Swissline facials. It will gradually be rolled-out in Swissline’s Golden Circle, a hand-picked selection of 5-star hotel spas, including Burj Al Arab, Carlton Cannes and the Shelbourne.

Inspiration for the treatment

Anna Tsankova, a London-based medical cosmetologist and the 2023 World Champion of Face Massage, has a deep understanding of the anatomy of the face, and its intricate link to the other systems in the body. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, she favours a “whole- listic” approach to facial treatments, very much in line with Swissline’s 360-degree approach to skincare.

“I believe in designing treatments that don’t just treat the surface of the skin but work on all layers of the face reducing muscle tension, fascia and lymphatic flow restrictions to ensure optimum skin health and radiance.

For this treatment, my vision was to merge the profound efficacy of Swissline’s intelligent formulations with my novel, results-driven facelift techniques to create a holistic treatment that resonates with the body’s intrinsic rhythms and physiology.”

Addressing Stress and Its Impact on the Face

Living in London, Tsankova knows very well the effect stress and a busy lifestyle can have on the body. It impacts not only our mental health but also leaves physical marks on our faces, as well. Persistent negative emotions and expressions can settle on the face, creating muscle tension and expression lines, which can negatively impact the fascia, leading to stagnated lymphatic flow, reduced oxygenation, diminished nutrient delivery to the skin, and the acceleration of the visible signs of ageing.  Anna’s new treatment, created exclusively for Swissline, enables spa-goers to manage their stress and its physical manifestations, restoring the skin’s natural radiance and well-being.

Treatment overview

Swissline’s Signature Face Sculpt Massage is an extremely innovative, original and technical facial massage. The rhythmic, deep flow, yet relaxing, treatment incorporates breath work, MLD, muscle release and facia manipulation, together with Tsankova’s signature advanced massage sculpting techniques. The treatment stimulates lymphatic drainage & circulation, relieves muscle tension, shapes facial contours and reactivates collagen. This innovative treatment provides clients with the sensation that their face has “opened up”, free from blockages and visibly lifted, expression lines smoothed and circulation improved, resulting in a renewed radiance and glow.

The improved lymph flow and increased microcirculation have the added benefit of making the skin more permeable, which facilitates the absorption and efficacy of Swissline’s professional products.

Experience the Treatment at Six Senses Spa Marbella

At Six Senses Spa Marbella, the face sculpting is offered as part of Swissline’s 100-minute Le Grand Soin au Collagène Pur Collagen Treatment, which includes the application of pure collagen films to the face and neck. It is also offered as a 25 minute add-on to any of the other Swissline treatments, together with an intra-oral massage, where the therapists perform a massage inside the mouth, gently grasping the cheek muscles to release tension and plump lips/nasolabial folds/perioral wrinkles.
