Buccal Facial Massage
-
Buccal massage is a gentle, intraoral facial technique that releases deep tension in the jaw, cheeks, and facial muscles from the inside out. This sculpting method helps reduce jaw tightness, improves circulation, enhances lymphatic flow, and creates a naturally lifted, relaxed, and contoured appearance.
-
Facial manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique that encourages lymph flow to reduce puffiness, ease congestion, and support detoxification. This soothing treatment enhances circulation, defines facial contours, and leaves the skin looking brighter, sculpted, and refreshed.
-
Body manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, full-body technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, bloating, and fluid retention. This soothing therapy supports detoxification, enhances circulation, promotes immune function, and leaves the body feeling lighter, more balanced, and restored.
