Buccal Facial Massage
Buccal massage (also known as inter-oral massage or inside-out facial massage) at Zen Body & Skin in Henderson, NV, can help soften fine lines, sculpt facial features, and relieve tightness and tension in the lower jaw associated with TMJ disorder.
What Is Buccal Massage?
Buccal massage is a type of facial massage that targets the jaw, lips, and lower face from inside the mouth. It allows the facial therapist to access both the inner and outer facial muscles. Buccal massage helps relieve facial tension (especially in the jaw area) and sculpt and lift the face.
What Are The Benefits Of Buccal Massage?
- Relaxes Tight Muscles Of The Jaw (TMJ pain)
- Rejuvenates The Lower Face
- Improves Complexion
- Softens 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 and to 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, making the face appear 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 massage is great for releasing tight muscles and stiffness.
Contraindications for Buccal Massage
If you’ve recently had Botox, it’s best to wait at least two weeks for any type of facial massage, and wait 8-12 weeks after fillers. Please let your facial therapist know about any skin treatments you’ve received, as the area may need to be avoided or your appointment rescheduled.
