The jaw and face feel more relaxed after the massage. The effect lasts longest with regular treatments.
What the treatment is and how it's performed
In buccal facial massage, the therapist massages the facial muscles both from the outside and from inside the mouth, wearing disposable gloves. This lets the therapist reach the chewing muscles and the muscles in the cheeks, which are hard to reach from the outside. The massage releases tension in the jaw and face, and many people find that the face looks more relaxed.
The treatment takes about 30 minutes.
Pain level, downtime and healing
Pressure on tight chewing muscles can feel uncomfortable, but should not hurt.
No downtime. The jaw can be tender for a day.
Who it's for and safety information
Contact a doctor or dentist if you get swelling, a fever or pain in the mouth that increases after the treatment.
Many people have the treatment every three to four weeks.
