Relaxing massage in a softly lit clinical setting

Massage in Kungsholmen

A clenched jaw in front of the screen, shoulders creeping up towards the ears and a face that looks more tired than you feel. Everyday stress settles in the body, and it shows most clearly in the face, neck and back.

At Tota Estetiska Klinik in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, you will find massage treatments that do something about it: a relaxing facial massage with argan oil and jade rollers, a lifting facial massage that wakes the skin’s own collagen production, and classic cupping massage for the neck and back. Every massage treatment is also among our treatments covered by the Swedish wellness allowance, so the friskvårdsbidrag can pick up the bill and let work help fund your recovery.

Facial massage, relaxation and glow in one

Facial massage promotes healthy skin while the muscles of the face relax deeply. The effect is both relaxing and rejuvenating: you look brighter and feel better afterwards.

We massage with argan oil, rich in vitamin E and beneficial fatty acids. The oil is light, absorbs quickly and keeps the skin hydrated and nourished for a long time, perfect in our dry, cold Nordic climate. We also use jade rollers, which improve circulation and stimulate lymphatic flow so the face gains glow and loses puffiness.

We work with jade gua sha too, a massage technique that releases tension in the muscles of the face, increases blood circulation and gets the lymph moving so the swelling subsides. The technique also helps break up the fascia, the connective tissue that wraps the muscles.

Cupping massage for neck and back

Cupping has been used for thousands of years on tense, sore muscle, and it still does the job. The cups are placed over the neck, shoulders and back, where the vacuum lifts the tissue and increases circulation exactly where the muscles are tightest. Stiff shoulders and a locked neck usually let go noticeably while you are still on the couch.

Preparation

Before your treatment

Massage needs no particular preparation, but a few simple things make the experience even better.

  • Come without makeup for a facial massage, otherwise we cleanse the skin gently first
  • Have an extra glass of water that day, circulation increases and the body needs help clearing waste products
  • Avoid a heavy meal right before your appointment
  • Tell us when booking if you are pregnant, have skin conditions in the area, heart problems or other medical conditions, and we will adapt the treatment
  • After a cupping massage, round and entirely harmless marks can show for a few days; the details are on the cupping page
  • If you want to pay with the wellness allowance, check with your employer which portal you use and we will help you with the receipt

After the treatment we recommend taking it easy for a while and letting the body settle, it extends the feeling of deep relaxation.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about massage in Kungsholmen

Can I use the wellness allowance for massage with you?

Yes, every massage treatment with us qualifies for the Swedish wellness allowance. Massage for relaxation and muscle care is an approved wellness activity under Swedish tax rules, so you can use your friskvårdsbidrag through your employer. Keep the receipt and submit it according to your employer’s routine; more about how it works is on our wellness allowance page.

What is the difference between ordinary facial massage and lifting facial massage?

Our classic facial massage focuses on relaxation, circulation and glow with argan oil, jade rollers and gua sha. The lifting facial massage is more intense and works deeper into the muscles with rolling, pinching and index-finger techniques that stimulate the skin’s production of collagen and elastin. If you want to wind down, choose the classic; if you want visible lift and firmness, choose the lifting one. Many people combine both in their routine.

How often should I have a massage?

It depends on your goal. For relaxation and general wellbeing, one treatment a month is often enough. If you want to work away deep tension in the neck and back, or build the firmness of the face with lifting massage, closer intervals at the start give the best effect, for example every other week. At your visit we will tell you honestly which approach suits you.

Is facial massage really good for the skin?

Yes, and it is not a new idea, facial massage has been used for centuries. The massage increases blood circulation so the skin gets more oxygen and nutrients, stimulates lymphatic flow so swelling and waste products are carried away, and softens tense muscle that can otherwise leave tired features and tension lines. With regularity, many people see a clear difference in both glow and firmness.

Your body works hard for you every day, time to give something back. Book your massage in Kungsholmen today, and do not forget that the wellness allowance is happy to help pay.
