Change Your Face Shape With A Korean Bone- Setting Massage

Korean Golki therapy — it worked for us, but man, it hurts. V-shaped face, here we come.

It used to be that if you want the slim, doll-like face shape that’s de rigeur for K-stars, you have to go for plastic surgery. But no longer — thanks to Korean aesthetic company Yakson House's unique Golki therapy which slims down your body and face without touching a scalpel. Known as ‘bone tonification’ (the Korean term ‘Golki’ translates to ‘bone energy’), the non-invasive manual therapy uses bone massage techniques to reset bone structure to your desired shape. You get a better complexion too, as the massage stimulates blood flow to your skin and muscles to supply nutrients and carry away toxins. There’s also no downtime.

It sounded fantastic, so I booked a session for their Sculpture Face Care treatment at Yakson’s new and first Singapore outlet. I did feel a little apprehensive about, um, resetting my bones by sheer force. But the living example that’s our Korean master therapist Jessica — who has that perfect egg-shaped face and who trained with Yakson in Korea for three years before moving to Singapore — dispelled my doubts.
