Facial Massage & Cupping
Buccal Massage

FACIAL MASSAGE AND/OR FACIAL CUPPING

is a therapeutic treatment that involves methodical manipulation of the muscles and tissues of the face. This is a popular method to rejuvenate our face without injections. It is a great alternative to Botox, although they can definitely be used together.

 

This massage enhances circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, relieves tension, and encourages a natural glow. It can also help lifts the skin, reduces wrinkles and puffiness, improve skin tone and elasticity, and support overall relaxation leading to a delayed appearance of aging. Facial Massage also relaxes the scalp, cervical spine, face and décolleté.

BUCCAL MASSAGE

originated as a holistic technique created by a French skincare therapist Joelle Ciocco almost 40 years ago. Her idea was based on a personal desire to age gracefully and without the use of special equipment, injections, hormonal treatments, or chemicals.

This unique form of massage is performed on the inner cheeks and targets the muscles from both inside and outside of the mouth. This deep-tissue approach targets the buccinator muscles (cheek muscles), jaw, and lower face. This helps to release deep tension in the facial muscles (where many hold their stress), sculpt the face, and stimulate lymphatic drainage. By working both the external and intraoral areas, buccal massage helps improve muscle tone, reduce puffiness, enhance circulation, and relieve jaw tension, especially helpful for those who grind their teeth, clench their jaw or suffer from TMJ.

Recommended Sessions & Results Timeline

Recommended sessions depend on your purpose and goals for the massage. Regular sessions 1-2x per month are recommended for general wellness, relaxation detox and improved circulation. More frequent sessions 1-2x per week for 6-8 weeks are recommended for facial contouring, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and collagen production resulting in longer lasting results.
