Buccal Massage
Buccal massage is an advanced technique performed externally along the face and jaw, with the option to take the work deeper through intra-oral (inside the mouth) techniques to sculpt the jawline, reduce puffiness, and release facial tension.

At The Studio
I begin with a gentle/relaxing lymph massage for the neck & jaw. Next, I will focus on one side of the face at a time with the fascia release and continue to the other side. If client is comfortable with me working inside the mouth, I again begin with one side at a time until both cheeks, lower and upper lip Gloved intra-oral work is complete. The inner mouth work is always optional and only when client feels ready. If both the external buccal and the intra-oral release are combined it allows me to release the deeper facial muscles and supports natural sculpting. The session is concluded with a relaxing lymph massage to allow further guide extra fluid out of the face and jaw.
Technique
Duration
60 minutes. Sessions typically begin with neck and shoulder work to relax the body and prepare the face for deeper release. This time also Includes the before and after pictures.
Sensation
This is deeper than a traditional facial. You may feel intensity in areas of tension, followed by noticeable release and softening. I ask the client to be in communication with me throughout the entire session about their level of comfort. We aim for “Oohhh not Ow”
Frequency & Results
Frequency is based on clients personal treatment goals. Visible changes can occur after one session, including improved tone and reduced tension. For longer-lasting tension release, pain relief and natural facial sculpting consistency is key!
