Buccal facial massage through the oral cavity

Features of buccal massage Joel Ciocque

The massage technique involves working the muscles of the surface of the face and through the oral cavity. Traditional massage is performed only from the outside and this is the main difference.

Buccal massage also has a second name - sublingual.

Combine it with a sculptural massage to treat the décolleté, neck and forehead. This method is not used to massage the abdomen and abdominal cavity, thighs and buttocks, arms and back. Madame Siocq personally trains specialists, conducting trainings not only in France, but throughout the world.

A possible danger from the procedure is the appearance of bruises and bruises if the skin is worked too hard and not properly grasped.

When done correctly:

Pain sensations pass quickly;
Slight swelling of the cheeks appears, which goes away within a few hours.

After the first procedure, clients may experience stiffness and fatigue of the facial muscles, a feeling of a “mask”. Over time, the skin and muscles get used to the procedure, and no unpleasant sensations arise.

How structural massage works Joelle Siocco

The principle of massage by Joelle Siocco

This massage is very simple. That is why anyone can do it, including at home. Already after the first procedure, positive changes are noted. The face becomes fresher, and the skin becomes firmer and more elastic. Over time, the number of wrinkles decreases.

The massage is carried out after cleansing the skin and before applying cream to it. Time should be regulated by means of a watch - you can put it in front of you. Each movement is performed for at least a minute. Only in this case can you ultimately see and feel the effect.

In addition, structural massage has other positive characteristics:

increased lymph flow;
increasing firmness and elasticity;
stimulation of blood circulation.

Lymph flow is enhanced by pressing the fingers on the skin and moving from the forehead to the décolleté. During the procedure, toxins are removed from the body. Stimulation of lymph flow reduces swelling and refreshes the complexion.

Grabbing, lifting and stretching the skin improves its firmness and elasticity. Such manipulations are good training. The direction of movement is not important, the main thing is not to forget to work the area around the eyes, décolleté and neck.

Tapping your relaxed hand with your fingers stimulates blood circulation. Manipulations should be painless. As a result, the skin takes on a reddish tint. Light slaps improve skin tone, enrich it with oxygen, fill it with life, freshness and youth.

The effectiveness of the manipulations is guaranteed by knowledge of the anatomy of the facial muscles and the places of passage of the neurovascular bundles. The technique is based on a series of deep pressures followed by light massage movements. This combination allows you to work out the entire facial muscles, activating blood circulation in problem areas.

To enhance the lifting effect, the author uses special cosmetics that do not allow slipping on the working surface - the skin. Most often this remedy is Abriciol.

Structural massage solves the following problems:

skin aging;
muscle laxity;
change in facial contour;
swelling;
double chin;
wrinkles and folds.

The lifting effect is explained:

effects on muscles;
relieving muscle spasms;
activation of atrophied muscles;
improving the flow of lymph from the deepest layers;
the functioning of the neuroreceptor system.

Effect of massage

Buccal massage activates the process of self-healing of facial muscle tissue. Carrying out five sessions gives the same effect as a surgical facelift. After the procedure, clients experience mild pain, which is why the technique is sometimes called “facial fitness.”

The results of the rejuvenation technique are manifested in:

Increased muscle tone;
Improving lymphatic drainage functions of the superficial skin;
Smoothing the nasolabial fold;
Reducing the number and depth of wrinkles;
Disappearance of small facial wrinkles;
Reducing the volume of the cheeks and chin;
Giving the face a new contour;
Smooth and elastic skin;
Disappearance of dark circles under the eyes.

Buccal massage triggers the natural process of skin regeneration, so its effect lasts for a long time.

Intraoral massage against wrinkles

All products are good in the fight against wrinkles - and every day there are more and more of them in the beauty industry. True, sometimes it’s better to press pause and choose an easier way to become beautiful - maybe less pleasant, but definitely effective. You must have already heard about facial massage - we suggest you take it to the next level and try a slightly more intricate version of it - intraoral. It may appear on the menu of salons under the name “buccal”. The procedure has a piquant feature - it is not done on the face itself, but inside your mouth. We tell you why this is necessary, how the procedure works and where you can try it.

The procedure, let’s say, is not for the faint of heart - you need to have a craving for experimentation. First, the cosmetologist can feel your cheeks - this is a warm-up to get the blood flowing. Then you open your mouth, just like in a dentist’s office, and the dentist massages all your wrinkles right from the inside—this procedure is especially effective for removing nasolabial folds. Plus it helps get rid of sagging cheeks and makes the oval of the face more sculpted.

There is little pleasant in the process - firstly, the very fact of someone else’s hands being in your mouth is a little embarrassing. Secondly, this massage is quite painful, since it involves a forceful impact - at some moments of “working through” tears may flow. But don’t be too fearful - this method removes wrinkles no worse than injections, and it makes sense to be patient a little. It is best to do this massage in a course of ten procedures - with breaks of fifteen days between sessions.

This type of massage was developed by the French woman Joelle Ciocco, cosmetologist and founder of the Joelle Ciocco brand. French “roots” also explain the origin of the name “buccal” - bouche translates as “mouth”. But, like all good things, this technique quickly spread to the masses, and now the procedure can be done not only by the famous sorceress. For example, one of the favorite cosmetologists of many stars, Nicola Joss, works using this technique. Her clients include Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gisele Bündchen, Kendall Jenner and Meghan Markle.

There are also several places in Moscow where buccal massage is performed - at the Klazko clinic, East Side Ostozhenka (ESO) and at Float Studio. Another similar procedure will be carried out at Yoga Class - it is called Yamuna Face Massage. The master will first treat the face with a small ball, and then massage it from the inside.

Deep tissue massage has been proven to be beneficial, hence the large number of advantages:

Small facial wrinkles are smoothed out, and large ones become less depressed.
The procedure helps improve blood flow.
Treats various disorders of the facial muscles.

Massage also has a number of negative aspects:

The procedure is painful.
Intense buccal massage promotes the appearance of hematomas (if the specialist is not experienced).
Deep tissue massage can cause damage to soft tissue.
Muscle strain and loss of tone.
Muscle stiffness may occur when chewing in the first hours after the massage.
The effect affects only the cheek area.
It would not be out of place to say that the procedure is expensive.

Massage techniques and techniques

For finger massage, oil-based facial cosmetics are used. Buccal massage begins with traditional stroking and rubbing techniques. This is a necessary stage for warming up the muscles, increasing their elasticity and saturation with blood. Then they move on to a deeper effect: they grab and roll areas of skin between their fingers, roll the skin along massage lines and apply acupressure using force.

The first massage session lasts no more than 10 minutes due to pain. Over time, the duration is increased to 35-40 minutes. The minimum corrective course is 5 procedures. The number of sessions is determined based on the condition of the skin, the susceptibility and age of the patient, the area of treatment and the expected result. In a beauty salon, finger massage is performed in a lying position, and specialists always use sterile gloves. A sculptural massage is performed with the tips and phalanges of the finger. The muscles are warmed up and worked through massage lines, and the pressure and intensity of movements are gradually increased.

After working out the external muscles, they move on to kneading the patient’s lips, and only then begin the internal massage. The index and middle fingers are placed in the oral cavity. With sharp and quick movements, they knead and roll the chewing and facial muscles in the area of the cheeks, lips and chin. The cheek muscles are grabbed from inside the mouth, massaged and released. The last stage is tapping the inner surface of the cheek with your fingertips.

This therapeutic massage technique involves precise work of each muscle.
