If you haven’t already noticed, Buccal Massage is making waves in the beauty and aesthetic world right now and rightly so. Who wouldn’t want a relaxing treatment with no downtime and the benefits of relieving face and upper body tension, leaving you with a sculpted jawline?! Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Megan Markel, Kristen Bell and Abbie Chatfield publicly rave about how Buccal Massage is a staple in their facial and skin care routines, remarking on the long list of benefits beyond the treatment time and having an alternative to invasive techniques (without the short term and long term risks). However, Buccal Massage is not new; it has long been a treatment for TMJ dysfunction, bruxism, post-stroke care, Bell’s Palsy, headaches and migraines.

So, what exactly is Buccal Massage? 

Green tea has long been hailed for its health benefits, antioxidant activity, prebiotic effects in supporting a healthy microbiome, helping beta brain waves for a healthy mind, and numerous health-promoting effects. However, more needs to be discussed regarding the tea's distinguishable effects in supporting glowing and healthy skin function. In recent years, research has yielded promising results for skin health when applying green tea and a prominent polyphenol (plant chemical exclusive to green tea) - epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) - topically to the face, neck and décolletage. 

As we diligently protect our skin from the sun’s harmful rays, we must be aware of potential allergens in our sunscreen bottles. Choosing the right product for your skin can help avoid unwanted reactions to sunscreen.

In the pursuit of perfectly glowing skin, we must treat ourselves from the inside out and the outside in. Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage that has long been used to treat a variety of bodily concerns by stimulating the lymphatic system to promote the removal of excess fluids, toxins, and waste products from the body. But in recent years, we have welcomed this beautifully versatile therapy into the world of holistic skin care – offering a plethora of benefits for skin health.

Neolifting Facial Sculpting and Buccal Massage offer a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation in an era of anti-ageing and invasive interventions.
