What is the Buccal Intra Oral Sculpting Facial Massage?
Facials have evolved significantly in recent years. The traditional step-by-step protocols have expanded to facial massage techniques to define the face naturally. The Buccal facial is extremely popular with celebrities due to the wonderful results.
When you book in for a Buccal facial massage at Luna, you can expect a difference from the other treatments on offer. By inserting either my fingers or thumbs into your mouth I am able to access all the muscles of the cheeks, lips and jawline. The Buccal is one of those hidden muscles. This massage technique allows me to work into deeper layers of facial tissues, such as the fascia and muscles, relieving tightness and tension for a defined jawline, sculpted contour and plump lips. The massage is performed with refined lifting, smoothing, stretching and circular finger and hand movements.
There are many lymph nodes in the lower part of the face. Buccal massage helps to detoxify the skin, allowing the free-flow of nutrients and oxygen. The skin benefits from an even complexion and radiant glow. Healthy lymphatic drainage improves puffiness around the eyes and reduces many of the ageing concerns such as hyper-pigmentation.
​
Specific massage movements help to relax the muscles, alleviate tension and the stress that we carry in our face. Whilst it may look painful, it is actually quite relaxing and I ensure at all times my client is comfortable. Any soreness or discomfort afterwards will subside quickly, and this usually occurs when clients already have TMJ syndrome or jaw pain. I always recommend staying hydrated and resting after a treatment.

You will have a feeling of lightness after a Buccal massage. One that you can take into the rest of the day.

When will I see results?
The Buccal Intra Oral Sculpting Facial gives obvious aesthetic results at the first session. To maximise these benefits we do recommend a course of treatments. The difference will be more noticeable after the 3rd or 4th visit. We recommend a package of up to 8 treatments to really see the best results. Ideally the first three will be weekly and then monthly thereafter.
Ageing is a natural process which affects us all, however many of the expression lines are due to the stress and tension we carry. Additionally our posture due to modern lifestyle. Re-training the muscles of the face is like investing the time at the gym or going to your pilates, Qigong or Yoga class.
What's included in the treatment?
A hot towel cleanse, exfoliation, mask, neck, shoulder, face & scalp massage. Buccal intra oral massage, facial cupping & a Gua Sha cool down.
