Buccal massage is a specialised facial massage technique that differs from a traditional facial massage because it works on the face both externally and internally, inside the mouth.
It focuses on areas around the cheeks, jaw and facial muscles, offering a different approach for people who enjoy targeted facial massage.
What Happens During a Buccal Massage?
The treatment begins with a discussion about your needs and what you would like to achieve from the session.
The facialist then massages the outside of the face, working around areas such as the cheeks and jaw.
The distinctive part of buccal massage involves intraoral massage, which is performed inside the mouth using appropriate hygiene and protective measures, including gloves.
This technique allows the facialist to work with muscles inside the cheeks and around the jaw from a different angle than external massage alone.
Why Choose Buccal Massage?
People choose buccal massage for different reasons. Some enjoy the focused massage around the cheeks and jaw, while others are interested in a specialised facial treatment that differs from a conventional facial.
The treatment may also appeal to people who experience facial or jaw tension. However, it is important to discuss your individual circumstances with your facialist before proceeding.
Buccal massage is a specific technique, so understanding what the treatment involves can help you decide whether it suits your preferences.
Is Buccal Massage Suitable for Everyone?
Not every facial treatment is appropriate for everyone. A consultation allows you to discuss your needs, ask questions and understand the technique before deciding whether to proceed.
Your facialist should also be informed about any relevant oral health concerns, recent dental procedures or other circumstances that may affect your suitability for treatment.
