What is Buccal Massage?
The Buccal massage is a technique performed by a therapist that involves massaging the inside and outside of the mouth with the therapist’s fingers inside your mouth while massaging the corresponding area on the outside of your face.
While this sounds confronting it is easier than you think.
The face holds tension exactly the same way as the body does, and while we use massage, osteopaths and chiropractors, we rarely, if ever have our face massaged in a beneficial way. When the muscles in our body get loose and lax, we go the gym, we don’t do anything for the muscles in our face.
Our jaws hold our thoughts and frustrations which results in clenching, we may chew on a dominant side or sleep on one side with our face squished in the pillow. All of these result in an imbalance in our face.
By stretching and releasing facial muscles that have become” locked” such as around the jaw, as well as lifting, scooping, squeezing and pulling facial muscles and jowls “UP” you can achieve an uplifted appearance, reduced inflammation and redness, promoting a healthy glow.
Results will be seen immediately and can last approx 5-7 days, sometimes longer.
For best results treatment can be done weekly for 6 weeks then it's about maintenance.
But treatment plans are very flexible as everyone is different.

This industry is ever changing with new treatments, new machines and new techniques arising every year.
I recently heard about a technique that has been around for 35 years, which fascinated me as I am super interested in the body’s ability to repair itself.
Sculptural face lifting (SFL) and Buccal massage was created and developed by a French beautician, Joelle Ciocco, 35 years ago.

My methods and values
As a Buccal therapist i have seen the many benefits of this treatment on numerous clients.
Whether it be physical or emotional or both, i feel extremely privileged to be a part of this transformation.
As i am also a Reiki Level 1 practitioner i find connection with clients during the treatment beneficial and highly relaxing.
It's great to see that people are realising the harmful effects of a stressful lifestyle and taking action to improve their own health outcomes.
If your curious if i can help you, please feel free to send me a message and we can discuss further.
