buccal massage
…pronounced “buckle” - helps target those deeper facial and jaw muscles, melting away tension, including emotional tension, you may not even realise you were carrying. This specialised intra-oral massage may sound a little strange but it’s super relaxing and beneficial especially if you’re someone who suffers from TMJ pain or are prone to clenching your jaw.
We target first the upper section, around the sinus, TMJ and masseter areas, then the lower section, further work on the masseter, depressors and the jawline . Nitrile gloves are always worn during this part of the treatment and changed between the two sections.

FAQ’s

~ The treatment is $250 for 70 minutes. Your first treatment will be a little bit longer as we include a consult and chat through what to expect from the treatment.
-
~ Even though you may see visible results after just one treatment, it’s recommended to train your facial muscles for longer-lasting results. Just like you don’t just go to the gym once and expect instant abs. The recommended approach is to start with an intensive treatment plan of approximately 6-8 treatments close together (e.g. weekly). Then space out your treatments to every few weeks/ monthly. For better results you can repeat the intensive plan every 6 months. Everyone is different however, so it’s best to have a chat on the right plan for you.
Also, remember that everything in the body in linked. Face sculpting massages should just make up part of your holistic wellness plan. It’s important to support your body with daily movement, nutritious food, healthy sleep routines, hydration, mindfulness exercises like journaling and meditation – or whatever suits and works for YOU!
