Buccal Facial Massage
Buccal massage (also referred to as inter-oral massage, or inside-out facial massage) at Zen Body & Skin in Henderson, NV can help soften fine lines and relax tightness in tension in the lower jaw. It is often combined with the TMJ disorder relief treatment, or facial gua sha.
What Is Buccal Massage?
Buccal massage is a type of facial massage that targets the jaw, lips, and lower face from inside of the mouth. It allows the facial therapist to have access to the inside muscles of the face as well as the outside muscles. Buccal massage helps to relieve tension in the face (especially the jaw area), as well as sculpt and lift.
What Are The Benefits Of Buccal Massage?
- Relaxes Tight Muscles Of The Jaw (TMJ pain)
- Rejuvenates The Lower Face
- Improves Complexion
- Soften Lines On The Lower Face & Lip Area
- Sculpt & Tone Lower Face
- Reduces Puffiness
- Improves Circulation & Lymphatic Flow
- Relieve Sinus Discomfort
How Does It Work?
Having stiff muscles in the face can lead to poor circulation and lymphatic flow. This leads to the skin being deprived of oxygen and nutrients as well as a slow detoxification rate. The face in turn will appear puffy, and the complexion dull.
Facial massage, along with buccal massage can help reduce puffiness so the face appears more sculpted and defined. Improved circulation and lymph flow will promote healing and younger looking tissue.
Who Can Benefit From Buccal Massage?
Anytime your face feels puffy or your complexion dull, buccal massage may be a good option to bring your skin back to life.
Or if you are under a lot of stress and it’s causing tension in your jaw (often leading to TMJ pain), buccal is great for releasing tight muscles and stiffness.
If you’ve recently had botox it’s best to wait at least 30 days for any type of facial massage, and wait 8-12 weeks after fillers. Please make sure to let your facial therapist know about any skin treatment you’ve received as that area may need to be avoided.
