What is a Buccal Facial?

Buccal massage is a facial massage technique that involves:

  • Massaging the face from inside the mouth
  • Accessing deeper muscles
  • Stretching the cheeks
  • Massaging the nasal and lip muscles

During the massage, a therapist inserts a gloved finger, usually the thumb or index finger, into the mouth and kneads inside the mouth, along the entirety of the cheek, while the rest of the fingers massage from the outside of the mouth.

Benefits of a Buccal Massage

Buccal massage offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved facial muscle tone: Buccal massage can help tone and tighten the facial muscles, reducing sagging and enhancing the face's overall appearance.
  • Reduced puffiness: By promoting lymphatic drainage, buccal massage can help to reduce puffiness and swelling in the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks.
  • Increased circulation: The massage techniques used during a buccal massage can help increase blood flow to the face, improving skin tone and promoting a healthy, youthful glow.
  • Improved digestion: The massage techniques used during a buccal massage can stimulate the digestive system, promoting better digestion and reducing bloating.

How Does a Buccal Facial Work?

A buccal facial typically begins with thoroughly cleansing the face to remove dirt, oil, or makeup. After cleansing, your aesthetician may apply a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and improve the skin's texture.

Next, they will perform a series of facial massage techniques, including buccal massage. Buccal massage works by targeting the muscles of the face from inside the mouth. This technique allows your aesthetician to access deeper muscles in the face that are difficult to reach with traditional facial massage techniques.

Some of the traditional massage techniques used during a buccal massage include:

  • Deep tissue massage
  • Acupressure
  • Lymphatic drainage techniques

After the massage portion of the treatment is complete, your aesthetician may apply a facial mask or other skincare products tailored to the individual's skin type and concerns. These products can help to hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin, leaving it looking and feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
