What Is Myofascial Buccal Massage?
Myofascial buccal massage is a therapeutic facial treatment that combines internal intraoral and external myofascial massage techniques to release tension, improve lymphatic drainage, and sculpt facial features. It involves manipulating the muscles and fascia within the mouth as well as the external facial structures. When done regularly, this procedure can provide similar results to those of dermal fillers, but without the needles and potential side effects. The treatment typically involves massage of other facial areas as well.
There are two main aspects of Myofascial buccal massage:
-Myofascial Release: This technique targets the myofascial system, which includes muscles and the connective tissue (fascia) surrounding them. By releasing tightness in these areas, it promotes relaxation and improves function.
-Buccal Massage: Buccal massage (also called intraoral massage) involves massaging pressure points inside the mouth to stimulate the muscles and ligaments in the buccal fat pad(between the cheeks and the jowls) to tighten and contour the area.
What to expect during your Myofascial Buccal Massage appointment?
The massage typically involves both external and internal maneuvers. A therapist may use their fingers to apply pressure and stretch the muscles and fascia, focusing on areas of tightness.
Treatment begins with lymphatic drainage massage, gently stimulating lymphatic circulation to detoxify and address fluid retention, promoting a clearer, more vibrant complexion. Next, manual facial contouring techniques are applied to manipulate and help define your facial features, aiming to provide a noticeable lift and toning effect.
The highlight of this invigorating experience is the intra-oral buccal massage, a specialised technique targeting the muscles inside the mouth. This deeply relaxing massage not only helps to relieve tension in the jaw, but also may aim to address TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) issues such as jaw clenching and teeth grinding.
Why choose Myofascial Buccal Massage?
When facial muscles stiffen due to stress, injury, an overactive jaw, or a medical disorder, they obstruct blood flow, lymphatic circulation, and detoxication. Tissues don’t receive enough nutrients and oxygen, resulting in water retention, puffiness, a dull complexion, and drooping cheeks and jowls. Myofascial Buccal Massage resolves these issues, providing numerous skin benefits.
This type of massage can be beneficial for individuals experiencing facial tension, stress, or those seeking to enhance their facial appearance through non-invasive methods.
