In 1997 Susan Rosenblatt-Schehr, P.T., a Baltimore, Maryland physical therapist created and developed the Refacée method for combating the aging effects of wrinkles and the loss of muscle tone as a result of treating patients with jaw problems, persistent headaches, facial and neck pain and sinus problems. Many of her patients began to notice that as she was treating their problems, their facial wrinkles and furrows were reducing. Over time, she began to realize that through the use of her manual physical therapy techniques to treat an ailment, the tone of the skin was also improved.

This discovery led her to further develop a wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation method by integrating various physical therapy manual techniques. She conducted a controlled study using her new wrinkle reduction method on fourteen subjects between the ages of 50 and 70 who presented with varying amounts of facial lines. The subjects were treated two to three times per week for one month, totaling ten sessions.

The results indicated that more than 90% of the subjects experienced a decrease in facial tension along with the reduction of facial lines and wrinkles. Also, most facial asymmetry, which was naturally acquired during life appeared to diminish. All individuals reported positively about the process and all experienced long term effects as noted by a follow-up visit two months after their last session.

Susan then began applying this method to the neck and elbows also for wrinkle reduction.

The rest is history.
