Frequently Asked Questions

Buccal massage is generally described as a deep yet therapeutic sensation. While some areas of tension may feel more sensitive, we work within your comfort level, using slow and intentional movements. Most clients find the release of tension to be well worth any temporary sensitivity. Communication is key, and we encourage you to let us know if you experience any discomfort.

The longevity of results varies depending on individual factors such as muscle tension, lifestyle, and consistency of treatments. You may notice an immediate lift and increased radiance after a session. For more significant and lasting sculpting and tension relief, a series of weekly sessions (as outlined in our packages) is recommended. Regular maintenance sessions can help prolong the benefits.

For optimal results in facial lifting and sculpting, particularly when starting, we recommend a series of weekly sessions (e.g., 4-10 weeks). For tension relief and overall facial wellbeing, the frequency can vary based on your individual needs and stress levels. Many clients benefit from bi-weekly or monthly sessions for maintenance and continued relaxation. We can discuss a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

While our face and buccal massage focuses on the deeper muscles and tissues for lifting, sculpting, and tension release, it is not a traditional spa facial that primarily focuses on skincare products and surface treatments. However, our session includes skin preparation and often results in a more radiant complexion due to improved circulation and lymphatic drainage. We can discuss incorporating skincare recommendations into your overall wellness routine.

There is typically no downtime associated with our face and buccal massage. You may experience some temporary redness or tenderness in the treated areas, similar to what you might feel after a deep tissue massage, but this usually subsides quickly. You can resume your normal activities immediately after your session.

While gentle massage can be beneficial during pregnancy, buccal massage involves internal work and specific pressure points. As a precaution, we generally do not perform buccal massage on pregnant clients. However, our external facial massage techniques can often be adapted for pregnancy. Please consult with your healthcare provider and let us know you are pregnant when booking so we can discuss the safest options for you.

Yes, in addition to our specialized face and buccal/TMJ massage, we also offer full body massage to address overall tension and promote relaxation throughout the body. This can be a wonderful complement to your facial treatments, as releasing tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back can further support facial wellness.
