Everything You Need to Know About Buccal Massage: The Intra-oral Technique for a Sculpted Face

If we told you that having someone massage your face from the inside of your mouth could be the key to a more sculpted, youthful appearance, you might be skeptical. Yet, celebrities like Meghan Markle, J. Lo, and Kate Moss are fans of this unique facial treatment called buccal massage. Now, this innovative treatment is available right here in Chicago at SKINCRVFT, proving its effectiveness in contouring the face and improving overall skin health.

What is Buccal Massage and How Does It Differ from Other Facial Massage Techniques?

At SKINCRVFT in Chicago, our buccal massage treatment involves massaging the inside of the cheeks (the buccal area). While the thought of intraoral massage may seem unusual, the process is incredibly soothing and deeply relaxing. Unlike traditional deep tissue facials, buccal massage targets the muscles inside and outside the mouth at the same time. This unique approach allows us to remove blockages and adhesions, resulting in improved facial posture, lifting, firming, and sculpting the skin.

The Benefits of Buccal Massage at SKINCRVFT

Buccal massage doesn’t just relax facial muscles; it retrains them by stretching and strengthening select muscles of the face. At SKINCRVFT, we use this technique to enhance your skin’s natural self-healing properties by removing toxins and blockages that impair skin function.

Some of the key benefits include:

  • Depuffing and reducing facial swelling

  • Softening deep lines and wrinkles

  • Firming, tightening, and lifting the facial structure

  • Easing jaw tension (ideal for those who clench, grind their teeth, or suffer from TMJ disorders)

  • Improved facial posture for a more sculpted appearance

How Does Buccal Massage Sculpt the Face?

The repeated intraoral massage movements used at SKINCRVFT help relax and strengthen muscles, retraining them to maintain a lifted and firm appearance. As we age, facial muscles can weaken and lose their natural tone. Buccal massage works like a workout for your face, causing micro-traumas that encourage skin regeneration and healing. Over time, this process helps redefine the facial contours for a more youthful, rejuvenated look.

Why Choose SKINCRVFT for Your Buccal Massage in Chicago?

At SKINCRVFT, we’re passionate about delivering visible, lasting results through personalized treatments. Our clients often describe the results of buccal massage as similar to a non-invasive facelift, leaving the skin looking and feeling visibly lifted. We also take pride in creating a deeply relaxing experience, focusing on relieving tension in the face and jaw, where stress often builds up.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for Long-Lasting Results?

Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining long-term results from buccal massage at SKINCRVFT. We typically recommend starting with one or two sessions per week over the course of eight to ten weeks. After completing this initial program, a maintenance session once a month will help sustain the results. However, many clients notice improvements in skin tone and facial contours as early as the fourth session.
