Dua Lipa's Facialist Alessandra Ricchizzi on Her Manual Lifting Method
Alessandra Ricchizzi, a face-sculpting facialist based in Milan's Navigli district, counts Dua Lipa, Chiara Ferragni, and Italian pop stars among her clients. Dua Lipa first visited Ricchizzi in 2023 for her signature 'Manual Lifting' treatment, which stimulates facial muscles noninvasively. Ricchizzi's philosophy links facial aesthetics to internal balance, and she customizes each facial by studying clients' expressions, posture, and 'facial memory'—fine lines and texture from aging. Her method works on three facial axes: central vertical, horizontal, and oblique, achieving a lifting effect of 0 to 6 cm. She uses a 'lifting glove' with red LED fingertips for anti-gravity action, and Lipa also received full-body treatment for lymphatic drainage. Benefits include reduced puffiness, inflammation, improved circulation, digestion, and energy. Ricchizzi advocates daily facial massage with upward movements and pinches for consistency.
