Buccal Massage
The Treatment Your Jaw — and Face — Deserves

What is Buccal Massage?
Buccal Massage, also known as intra-oral massage, is a highly specialized technique that works on the muscles inside the mouth as well as the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. By gently manipulating these deeper tissues, the treatment releases chronic tension, restores muscle tone, and supports both facial rejuvenation and overall well-being.
Unlike conventional facial massage, buccal massage works on the internal and external muscles of the face simultaneously. This inside-out approach makes it uniquely effective for relieving jaw tension and promoting a natural lifting effect.
How Does It Work?
During the treatment, your therapist applies gentle yet precise movements inside the mouth to release tension from the jaw muscles, often overworked by stress, clenching, or teeth grinding. This is combined with:
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage: to reduce puffiness and improve circulation.
- Trigger Point Therapy: to relieve muscle knots and discomfort.
- Natural Facelift Techniques: to encourage skin regeneration and enhance firmness.
Because the mouth is such a sensitive area, this treatment is performed with gloves, ensuring comfort, safety, and hygiene at all times.
📌 Please arrive without makeup if possible and allow at least 4 weeks after any dermal fillers or botulinum toxin (Botox) injections before scheduling this treatment.
