BUCCAL MASSAGE

What is Buccal Massage?
Buccal Massage is a specialized intraoral technique that focuses on the muscles of the cheeks, jaw, and face. By working both inside and outside the mouth, this treatment helps release deep-seated tension, improve lymphatic flow, and enhance circulation. It supports facial symmetry, reduces puffiness, and promotes a natural lifting effect, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a holistic approach to facial care and muscle relaxation.

What to Expect During Your Session
Your session begins with a gentle cleanse and warm-up massage on the outer face, followed by:
​
-
Facial sculpturing techniques
-
Lymphatic drainage of the face, neck, and shoulders
-
Buccal massage of the jaw and cheeks (intraoral)
This combination deeply relaxes facial muscles, improves circulation, and leaves your face feeling sculpted and refreshed.
Special Considerations
Buccal Massage is generally safe and highly beneficial, but there are certain situations where extra care or postponement may be necessary:
​
-
Recent dental work, oral surgery, or extractions (within the last 4–6 weeks)
-
Active oral infections, cold sores, or open wounds in the mouth
-
Severe TMJ pain or jaw dislocation history
-
Recent facial fillers, Botox, or cosmetic procedures
-
Active skin infections, severe acne, or inflammation in the treatment area
-
Pregnancy
-
Any medical condition where intraoral work is contraindicated
Your safety and comfort are our priority. If you’re unsure whether Buccal Massage is suitable for you, or if any of the above apply to you, please obtain clearance from your GP before booking.
