BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE GRIMSBY
Our Buccal Facial Massage is like a breath of fresh air for your skin, promoting healthy blood circulation and lymphatic drainage throughout the face.
This means that toxins are released and drained from the face, leaving you with a noticeably glowing and even complexion, sculpted facial muscles and a relaxed jaw.
And here's the best part...
As a result of improving circulation and lymphatic flow, our massage technique also enhances the absorption of your favorite skincare products.
That means those serums and moisturizers you love so much can work even harder to nourish and rejuvenate your skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE?
The Buccal facial massage is one of those treatments you don’t realize you need until you experience it.
We work with the muscles inside and outside of your mouth, areas most facials never reach, to release tension and create subtle changes that feel as good as they look.
Over time, this deeper work helps your face feel lighter, more relaxed, and naturally more defined.
This is what happens when we target the deeper facial muscles consistently:
- You feel lift in your cheeks as tension softens around the jawline.
- Jaw tightness and clenching ease, giving relief if you live with TMJ discomfort.
- Circulation improves and your skin looks fresher, brighter, and more awake.
- Puffiness reduces as lymphatic flow clears out built-up fluids.
- Your nervous system calms, and you leave feeling noticeably lighter and more relaxed.
Everyone responds differently, but many clients notice immediate relief after their first visit and even greater definition with regular sessions.
DOES BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE HELP WITH JOWLS?
Yes, the buccal facial massage can help soften the appearance of jowls. But it’s important to understand what that really means. It won’t lift skin like surgery or remove fat. What it does do is work on the muscles and puffiness under the skin. Those are often what make jowls look heavier than they really are.
Sagging along the jawline is one of the first changes people notice as they get older. It can feel frustrating when your face doesn’t match how you feel inside. The good news? The buccal facial massage is growing in popularity as the must try holistic facial modality that targets the muscles and tension that affect how defined your jawline looks from all angles.
How it helps:
- Releases tight jaw and cheek muscles that slowly pull the lower face downward over time and can cause uneven growth of facial muscles.
- Improves circulation and drainage to reduce puffiness and drains fluids that add to heaviness.
- Balances muscles on both sides of your face for better symmetry.
- Works well with other treatments like facials or skin tightening for more complete results.
If your jawline feels heavier than it used to, this treatment offers a natural way to ease tension and bring back some definition. It works best as part of an overall plan for facial wellness, and we’ll guide you through each step to match your personal skin goals.
CAN YOU GET RID OF HOODED EYES WITH A BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE?
A lot of people think massage can “fix” hooded eyes, but that’s only partly true. If your hooding comes from extra skin or genetics, no massage will remove it. But if puffiness or muscle tension is part of the problem, a buccal facial massage can help your eyes look fresher and less heavy.
Here’s what starts to change first:
- It drains built‑up fluid, softening puffiness around the eyes.
- It boosts blood flow, which brightens the area and gives a more awake look.
- It relaxes tight muscles in your cheeks and brow, easing downward pull.
If you’ve been looking for a natural way to refresh your eye area, this is a safe place to start.
DOES BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE HELP WITH JAW TENSION OR TMJ?
Yes. Buccal facial massage can release deep tightness in your jaw and ease TMJ discomfort. By working on the muscles inside your mouth and along your jawline, it targets areas you can’t comfortably reach on your own.
This doesn’t replace medical treatment, but it’s a gentle, holistic way to feel relief and move through your day with less tension.
What you might notice after a session:
- Jaw feels lighter and less stiff
- Headaches from clenching start to ease
- Muscles in your face feel softer and calmer
- Talking, eating, and even smiling feels easier
If jaw pain keeps coming back, a quick phone consultation can help us determine if you should proceed with booking additional sessions.
CAN THE BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE SCULPT OR SLIM MY FACE NATURALLY?
It can make your face look lighter and more defined, but not like surgery would. The buccal facial massage doesn’t remove fat or change your bone structure. It works by easing puffiness and relaxing tight muscles so your natural shape shows through.
The “slimming” look comes from a few things. The massage relaxes jaw and cheek muscles that stay tight when you clench or grind your teeth. It also helps your body in the lymphatic drainage process, which lowers puffiness and softens your features. Better blood flow brings a healthy glow and can help your skin over time.
The results are gentle and temporary, and you’ll notice changes for a few days to about a week. If you do sessions often, your face may start holding less tension overall, so results last longer between visits.
This isn’t a fix for fat or a dramatic change. But if tension or puffiness is what’s making your face feel heavy, buccal facial massage is a natural way to feel lighter and more balanced.
This is a great treatment to add to your self care and special event prep list!
DOES THE TREATMENT HURT OR FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE?
Not really. The buccal facial massage feels different from a regular facial because part of it is done inside your mouth, but it shouldn’t hurt. Most people describe it as odd at first, then deeply relaxing once the muscles start to release and you feel more comfortable with your technician.
You may feel gentle pressure as we work to release tight spots along your jaw and cheeks. Those areas can be tender if you hold a lot of tension or stress but the pressure is always controlled and adjusted to what feels comfortable for you. There’s no sharp pain, no needles, and no harsh pulling.
Afterward, your jaw often feels lighter, looser, and almost “unlocked.” Any tenderness usually fades within a few hours, leaving you with that calm, refreshed feeling the massage is known for.
Every treatment is done by our trained skin-care specialists who understand facial anatomy, and know how to keep the experience safe and gentle from start to finish. An essential oil steam, double cleanse, skincare and an SPF application are included in your service.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR DOWNTIME AFTER THE MASSAGE?
There’s no required downtime. You can head back to work, run errands, or continue your day right after your session.
It’s common to feel mild tenderness in the jaw or cheeks, slight redness, or a gentle soreness where the muscles were worked. This is the body’s natural response to releasing deep tension and usually eases within 24 hrs.
Because circulation and lymphatic flow improve, some notice draining in the back of the throat when they sit up from the treatment. A temporary glow or slight puffiness right after treatment is also common. Both are normal and fade as the body settles. In rare cases, deeper soreness can linger for a day or so, especially if there was significant jaw tension to begin with.
IS BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN OR POST-BOTOX/FILLER?
Yes, but we adjust timing and technique to keep it safe. For sensitive skin, the massage is gentle and pressure can be lightened so it feels comfortable. Mild redness can happen, but it fades quickly and isn’t harmful. If your skin is flaring up with irritation, eczema, or active breakouts, it’s better to wait until things have calmed before booking.
For Botox or filler, waiting is key. Massaging too soon can move the product or affect your results. A safe window is four weeks after injectables, or longer if your provider recommends it. “Settled” means there’s no swelling, bruising, or tenderness left in the treated area.
If you’ve had any recent procedures, we’ll talk about it during your consultation to make sure the timing is right and your results are protected.
HOW MANY BUCCAL FACIAL MASSAGE SESSIONS DO I NEED FOR BEST RESULTS?
It depends on what you want to see and how your face holds tension. But lasting results usually come with more than one visit. That’s because tight facial muscles don’t fully release in a single treatment, and habits like clenching or grinding can bring tension back.
A good starting point is three to six sessions spaced about a week or two apart. This builds on each treatment, layer by layer, so the muscles stay relaxed longer. After that, you can move to maintenance sessions every few weeks or whenever you feel tension returning.
Your plan should fit your lifestyle and goals. Some people come in only when stress spikes, while others keep it up as a regular part of their self‑care routine.
HOW LONG DOES EACH SESSION TAKE?
A buccal facial massage session usually lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. This focused window gives your muscles what they need without overworking them.
During that time, we’ll check in, work inside the mouth, and finish with an outer facial massage so everything feels balanced and relaxed when you leave. If it’s your first visit, we may take a few extra minutes to explain what’s happening and adjust pressure to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
You’ll probably notice a difference right away. Your jaw feels lighter, puffiness settles down, and moving your face just feels easier. Normally these changes last a few days to about a week.
They aren’t permanent, because daily habits like clenching, stress, or even the way you sleep can bring tension back. Regular sessions help your muscles stay looser for longer. But it’s important to keep in mind that simple habits like staying hydrated, managing stress, and avoiding nighttime grinding can stretch those benefits between visits.
Even if you only come in occasionally, it’s still a great reset for your face.

"SKN Deep knows how to prioritize my self-care! I absolutely loved my lift + sculpt buccal facial massage. I have sensitive skin and had absolutely no irritation. My face looked more toned and I couldn't believe how much tension was released! I also got a lash lift + tint - I don't know why it took me this long to do it - it has saved me so much time in the mornings!! When I say I woke up like this, now I can really mean it!! I can't wait for my next visit :)"

From the moment you walk into the clinic, you feel welcome. Had a Buccal session with Tiffany. Didn't know what to expect but the results were surprising. The facial massage itself is super relaxing, my skin felt and looked great afterwards and I find I have a sharper jaw line and am not as puffy, due to the drainage that happens afterwards!!!Highly recommend this service. Will definitely be back!!!
