What is "Xiaoyan" (small face)?
What is the principle behind Xiaoyan (small face)?
Our skull is composed of 23 bones, each with a different shape and connected to one another. Their size and position determine our face shape and features. Due to lifestyle habits, facial bones can shift, causing our skull bones to "misalign" and lead to problems like asymmetry. By moving and repositioning the facial bones, we can change our appearance.

How many sessions are needed to see results?
Results can be seen immediately. Before performing the small face treatment, we will measure the client's face size. Typically, clients can reduce their face by 2-3mm immediately after 1 correction session. During the process, the technician will guide you to feel with your hands and observe in the mirror, aiming for both tactile and visual changes.
How many sessions are needed in total?
3-4 sessions will show noticeable changes in the overall contour and facial features; generally, 5-6 sessions achieve the best results, which can last for 2 years or more.

How often should I get a treatment?
It is recommended to have a session every 1-2 weeks. After the first few treatments, the facial bones have not yet set and are prone to shifting. Waiting too long will negate the previous efforts;
However, it is also not advisable to have treatments too frequently, as the bones need time to adjust and recover. Being too hasty can easily lead to a rebound.
Why do facial bones deform?
The fascia throughout the body is interconnected. When body muscles and fascia are overly tight, or there is uneven force on the left and right sides, or unbalanced posture, it can pull on the facial bones, causing deformation and misalignment;
Body pains, habitual uneven use of left and right hands/feet, misalignment of the spine and pelvis, frequently crossing legs, resting chin on hand, sleeping on one side, using a single-shoulder bag, etc., can all affect face shape and features;
Therefore, to maintain good and long-lasting results, it is essential to correct daily habits.

Does small face bone setting hurt?
Many people assume that small face bone setting must be painful, but in fact, the authentic Japanese small face bone setting technique is different from common "gua sha" or "bone cracking" methods. Cranial treatment is gentle and slow, opening up various cranial sutures and relaxing the fascia and muscles of the entire head and face. After relaxation, the facial bones become easier to move, and with gentle traction, the facial features can be reshaped. Bone setters need to study the muscles, fascia, and bone structure of the human face, which involves professional medical knowledge. Our exclusive technique ensures a completely pain-free process. Some areas, such as the jawbone, might experience a slight soreness when moved. If the client cannot tolerate it, the technician can reduce the pressure. Our goal is "pain-free beauty," allowing clients to comfortably fall asleep during the treatment.
