What is Buccal Massage?

Buccal massage is a specialist facial massage technique that works both externally on the face and internally through the mouth. The term "buccal" refers to the cheeks, and this technique targets the muscles inside and outside the cheeks, jaw, and lower face. Practitioners wear gloves to gently massage the muscles from within the oral cavity, using slow, deliberate movements to release deep-seated tension.

Unlike traditional facials, buccal massage addresses the deeper facial structure, aiming to improve muscle tone, relieve jaw tension, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and enhance circulation. It is particularly popular for its ability to lift and sculpt the face naturally, as well as its therapeutic effect on issues like jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and stress-related tension.

Who is it for?

Buccal massage is suitable for adults of all ages and is often chosen by those who are looking for:

  • Natural facial lifting and sculpting

  • Relief from jaw tension or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort

  • Reduction in puffiness and facial stagnation

  • Support with lymphatic drainage and circulation

  • Stress reduction and relaxation of facial muscles

It is particularly beneficial for clients who experience jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or facial tightness due to stress. While often seen as a cosmetic treatment, it also offers therapeutic benefits for overall facial and muscular wellbeing.
