Service Description

More and more people are realizing that having stiff muscles in your face can cause unhealthy blood flow and poor lymphatic circulation. This means tissues don't receive enough nutrients and oxygen, resulting in inadequate detoxification. The result is often a dull complexion, puffiness, and drooping of the cheeks due to the weight of water retention. That’s where a buccal/facial massage comes in. The buccal/facial massage is a facial massage technique that specifically targets the drooping of the jowls, a universally known problem area. While many try to tighten the area through topical means, like face creams and oils, it’s often ineffective and usually gets to the point that there are only two methods that will actually meet someones expectations. One is through a medical procedure like facial fillers, and the other is through a buccal massage. Given that choice, which one would you rather try first? Our Session "Buccal" is the clinical term for the inner mouth cavity. At Giving Back Massage a buccal/facial massage is a combination of a traditional lymphatic massage of the face, except that about a 30-minute portion of it takes place inside the mouth. 1. A typical session may start with a lymphatic massage of the chest, neck, and shoulders. After the therapist thoroughly cleanses and protects their hands (medical-grade gloves), they’ll proceed to apply pressure from the crease of the nose, moving downwards to the chin. 2. They’ll then target the muscles that surround the mouth, (the orbicularis oris), lightly tugging and massaging the lips. 3. Then they massage from the inside of the cheeks with a combination of the thumbs and index fingers, pulling the skin up and down and massaging in a circular motion. While it can sound invasive, it is not. Remind yourself — therapist's hands are not in your mouth, but rather, your mouth is in the therapists hands. They're caring for you. Relax and enjoy. Lymphatic massage along the inner skin can decrease puffiness and enhance the natural curvatures and bone structure of the face. It can improve blood circulation and can also stimulate repair pathways in the skin and promote younger-looking tissue. The result, facial features are more defined because the skin is receiving enough nutrients and oxygen.
