Vagus nerve massage

A vagus nerve massage session lasts 75 minutes. If you want to extend your relaxation, you can add a 15-minute foot or head massage—whichever you need most.

A good complement is auriculotherapy, or ear acupressure, which can be incorporated as an additional element of work aimed at calming and soothing. Sound Healing sessions, combining soothing sounds with a relaxing body massage, also work well in this regard.

If stress is accompanied by teeth clenching and jaw tension, it's worth alternating this treatment with Buccal Massage or Facemodeling®. This allows you to combine full-body relaxation with precise work on the masseters and jaw area.

You can also end the session with a professional Esthemax mask, tailored to your skin type and current needs.

Yes, if another procedure can be performed during your scheduled appointment time, we can reschedule your appointment. Please let us know in advance if possible. We're happy to consider your suggestions and work with you to find the right solution.

During your session, let us know immediately if anything feels uncomfortable. We can take a break, help you position yourself more comfortably, or adjust the pressure. We listen carefully to your needs and tailor the treatment accordingly—the most important thing is that you feel comfortable.

Please arrive a few minutes early. Let us know about any ailments, allergies, or previous treatments that may be relevant. If you have any special needs, please let us know before your visit.

If you have severe allergies or sensitive skin, bring your own tried-and-true skincare products to minimize the risk of irritation. We use only the highest quality products, but even they may contain ingredients that trigger allergic reactions.

On the day of your appointment, avoid alcohol and heavy meals before your treatment. Also, make sure to stay hydrated—both before and after each massage, including your facial. Drink water regularly, according to your body's needs. You can also choose herbal teas and infusions that you tolerate well.

Please maintain good personal hygiene. If you're planning a visit after an intense workout or other physical activity, please shower and put on fresh clothes. This is important for your comfort and the therapist's comfort.

Before each facial massage, we also ask that you wash your hair and scalp on the day of your appointment or the day before. Treatments involve intensive work on the scalp, so we want it to be clean, free of accumulated sweat, sebum, and styling products. This helps ensure hygiene and comfort during the massage, and reduces the risk of irritation. During the treatment, we strive to minimize product contamination of the hair.

There's no need to bring any accessories, towels, or sheets—everything is provided on-site at the clinic. Just wear comfortable clothes.

After each facial massage, we apply a UV cream to protect your skin from the sun. You'll leave the clinic with nourished skin, ready for the rest of the day.

Vagus nerve massage is for anyone seeking relief, calm, and relaxation—assuming there are no contraindications. We especially recommend it when you find it difficult to rest, your thoughts don't slow down, and your body remains tense despite fatigue.

This is recommended for those experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, restlessness, emotional overload, or difficulty calming down before bed. It's also recommended for those experiencing neck and throat stiffness, chest tension, shallow breathing, or jaw clenching. If stress is accompanied by tension headaches or digestive discomfort, a session can promote relaxation and greater body well-being.

People struggling with depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder or compulsive behaviors can benefit from massage as a relaxing complement to psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment.

However, you don't have to struggle with a specific problem. You can simply come for a quiet moment for yourself—to breathe, relax your body, and take a break from the daily grind.

This is a gentle, soothing massage, so unless there are contraindications, you can use it up to once a week. The frequency is adjusted to your well-being, current needs, and response to the treatment.

Some people initially need more frequent appointments, but over time, we can gradually lengthen the intervals between visits. The most important thing is to observe yourself and respond to your body's signals.

If you notice that stress is building up again, tensions are returning and you are finding it harder to calm down, it is worth booking another session - give yourself time to relax, rest and soothe.
