Buccal massage is a specialised facial treatment designed to relieve muscular tension, encourage relaxation and leave the face feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Using a combination of gentle massage techniques, the treatment focuses on the muscles of the cheeks, jaw, chin, temples and surrounding areas, helping to release built-up tension and encourage the muscles to relax.
Particularly beneficial for those who experience tension through the jaw, face or neck, including tension associated with teeth clenching and grinding, facial massage offers a different approach to relieving muscular tightness and discomfort.
By working with the facial muscles, these treatments help encourage circulation, soften areas of tension and promote a sense of relaxation and wellbeing. They also provide an opportunity to slow down, unwind and enjoy some dedicated time for yourself.
Potential Benefits:
At Gatehouse Health, we offer two types of facial and jaw massage, both provided by Keeley. Each treatment is designed to help relieve facial tension and encourage relaxation, with the main difference being whether massage techniques are performed inside the mouth.
Our full buccal massage combines both internal and external massage techniques, working on the muscles of the face, jaw, neck and shoulders.
The treatment includes gentle massage inside the mouth (using gloves), allowing access to deeper facial muscles that can be difficult to reach through external massage alone. This is combined with external techniques to help release muscular tightness and tension throughout the face and jaw.
Ideal for those experiencing persistent jaw or facial tension, particularly associated with teeth clenching or grinding, or anyone looking for a more comprehensive facial massage.
Our shorter treatment focuses on releasing muscular tension through the face and jaw using external massage techniques only.
Working around the cheeks, jawline, temples and surrounding facial muscles, this treatment helps ease tightness, encourage circulation and promote relaxation, without any massage inside the mouth.
Ideal for those experiencing facial or jaw tension, anyone who would prefer not to have internal mouth massage, or those looking for a shorter, relaxing treatment.
