Buccal massage goes beyond surface-level skincare by combining intraoral and external facial techniques to work with the muscles of the cheeks, jaw, and surrounding facial areas.
Working from inside the mouth and around the nose, your esthetician massages the deep muscles of the cheek, jaw, and buccal area — releasing tension that builds from clenching, chewing, and everyday stress.

After Your Visit
Everything to know before booking your Face Sculpting with Buccal Massage.
Face sculpting with buccal massage is a specialized hands-on treatment performed both inside and outside the mouth. Using fresh disposable gloves, the esthetician gently massages the muscles of the cheeks, jaw, and surrounding facial areas.
The session may also include external sculpting and lymphatic-style massage techniques to release facial tension, support circulation, and reduce temporary puffiness. Each treatment is personalized to your comfort level, facial concerns, and goals.
Buccal massage should not be consistently painful, but some areas may feel tender or mildly uncomfortable when there is built-up tension in the cheeks, jaw, or surrounding facial muscles. Your esthetician will adjust the pressure to your comfort level throughout the treatment.
With regular buccal massage sessions, the facial muscles may become more accustomed to the technique, and the experience often feels more comfortable over time. Always speak up if the pressure feels too intense so your Staten Island esthetician can modify the treatment.
From person to person the results differ, but a number of clients find that their face and jaw feel more relaxed following a buccal massage. The skin might also look momentarily refreshed, less puffy, and more defined in the cheeks, along the jawline and in the lower face.
If you regularly receive face sculpting and buccal massage treatments, certain clients might find that their appearance becomes more relaxed and that the tension in their face decreases over time. The esthetician will tailor each treatment to your specific facial concerns, your level of comfort, and your objectives.
The number of buccal massage sessions you need will vary according to your level of facial tension, your objectives, and the way your face reacts to the treatment. A few clients begin with just one session, while others opt for a series consisting of about 6 to 8 treatments given once a week.
Depending on your individual requirements, your esthetician may suggest some maintenance sessions after a series of treatments. During your visit, they will assist you in developing a personal treatment schedule.
It’s common to feel deeply relaxed after a session, but your facial muscles might feel a little fatigued. Depending on your level of tension going into the treatment, your face or jaw may feel sore, achy, or tender — if so, apply a warm compress to soothe the muscles.
It’s also important to stay well hydrated after a treatment to help flush any toxins released during the session. It’s absolutely fine to carry on with your normal daily activities, but we recommend taking it easy for the day. In very rare cases, clients may experience cold-like symptoms such as a headache or slight body aches for a few hours after treatment — this can simply be a sign of your body’s natural healing and detoxification process in action.
Buccal massage could be of some help in relaxing the facial and jaw muscles that are involved in clenching, grinding and general tension. Although it may give some clients a temporary alleviation of the muscle tightness in the area of the cheeks and jaw, buccal massage does not diagnose, treat or cure temporomandibular disorders.
As TMJ pain may have a variety of causes, anyone experiencing persistent or severe symptoms should have it looked at by a dentist, physician, or a qualified TMJ specialist. It is important that you inform your esthetician of any jaw pain, clicking, locking, or dental work you have had recently.
Buccal massage should not be done if you are currently experiencing pregnancy, thyroid issues, cancer, local infection or irritation, active acne, rosacea, lymphatic issues, a cold sore outbreak, or bleeding gums. Let your esthetician know so we can guide you toward the best option.
