Buccal massage is a powerful massage technique or ‘inner facial’ to work through the muscles, ligaments and lymphatics from inside the mouth, and due to its endless benefits, it is gaining so much more popularity. So what’s it all about?? 

When we work in the oral cavity, the manipulations address age-related structural and tissue changes, spasmed muscles, tension, and the formation of wrinkles. Our oral cavity and jaw region contains both mastication and facial expression muscles, and is also the central meeting point for many muscles and ligaments. There is a lot going on in this area, so we tend to hold A LOT of tension here! And where we hold tension, we also retain water, so relieving this not only feels great, but can also reduce puffiness, creating a more sculpted jawline. 

The benefits of buccal massage can be seen on the outside by softening nasolabial folds, jowls, fine lines and wrinkles, defining the jawline and reducing puffiness. By releasing the tension of the biting muscles, which pull the face inwards and downwards, we can create a lifted look to the face. Together with the detoxifying nature of lymphatic massage to release blockages and de-puff, all this movement helps to oxygenate the skin and boost circulation resulting in healthy glowing skin. 

But we can’t forget the internal benefits!!  The inner workings of buccal massage help to relieve the mouth of all of its stress, alleviating symptoms of jaw clenching, teeth grinding and TMJ issues, as well as headaches and migraines. You don’t often realise just how much tension is in your mouth until it's relieved!! The movements aligning with lymphatics also allows for toxins to be drained away and cells to be nourished with increased oxygen flow. 

During the treatment we perform rhythmic movements from inside the mouth. It is a form of holistic manual rejuvenation, where each movement is targeted at relaxing, lifting and sculpting the muscles of the face. During the massage, we target the masseter, which is the big jaw muscle at each side of the face, and we also focus on the cheeks and lips. Because our facial muscles are all interconnected, tension in one area will impact another area. The fascia, ligaments and tissue of the face are warmed before commencing the movements, during the NeoLifting portion of the treatment, creating soft and pliable muscles to work with inside the mouth. 

But how does it feel having someone's fingers in your mouth?! It can be uncomfortable, but also deeply relieving, it’s a good type of pain!! It’s honestly much more relaxing than you’d think, especially as it flows on from NeoLifting facial massage (and followed by a luxurious scalp massage!!)
