Buccal facial massage: features and rules of execution

There are many massage techniques available today. Each of them is designed to solve specific problems. Buccal facial massage is a very unusual but effective procedure. If you haven’t heard anything about this technique before, perhaps it will be a real discovery for you. The beauty of it is that after studying the features of its implementation, you can repeat it at home.

So, buccal or intrabuccal facial massage is a technique patented by French cosmetologist Joel Siocco, aimed at active rejuvenation of the lower part of the face. It is classified as a type of sculptural massage, since as a result of the forceful effect of a cosmetologist, a significant transformation is achieved: wrinkles disappear, the oval of the face is tightened, the skin acquires the necessary tone.

Actually, translated from French, buccal means "oral". I must say that the author of such an unusual technique is far from a beginner in his field: she devoted most of her life to the study and practice in the field of cosmetology, and she is also a biochemist. This technique is not her only brainchild, she also produces a line of cosmetics designed to combat age-related changes.

The non-surgical buccal massage has won many fans around the world. Now you can try it on yourself even in the beautician's office in your city. For those who would like to learn how to do it on their own, the author organized courses, seminars and trainings.

It was only when it was born that the buccal massage technique caused a lot of controversy. Prior to that, it was believed that it is unacceptable to influence the skin and muscles of the face by force. However, those who have tried this miracle method on themselves come back to it again and again.

The thing is that you don't have to be exposed to any radiation or inject chemicals under your skin., and even more so no one will reshape your face with a surgical scalpel. In addition to the effect of rejuvenation, buccal massage is active and normalizes the work of the masticatory and facial muscles due to a direct effect on them.

Buccal massage is absolutely natural, but at the same time it is extremely effective. The whole secret lies in the fact that there are many points on the face, acting on which, you can achieve the desired effect.

Obviously, such a massage is recommended for everyone who is faced with the appearance of age-related changes on the face. There is probably no woman who would not dream of looking younger and fresher.

These are the problems that can lead you to the beautician's office for a buccal massage procedure.

• You have noticed that the oval of the face has become less chiseled or even sagging has appeared. Looking at yourself in the mirror and comparing it with photographs of past years, you clearly see the changes that you would like to get rid of.
• The skin has become flabby. There is no trace of the former elasticity, and even makeup can no longer hide age-related changes.
• The complexion has become dull. It no longer radiates radiance and freshness as it used to. Even after resting, you don't look refreshed and refreshed.
• Swelling. They can become especially noticeable in the morning, and you have to spend precious time not only to apply makeup, but also to hide them.

• Double chin. Even if your weight is within the normal range, over time you may notice unwanted fat deposits in the chin and neck area. These are also natural age-related changes that require correction, otherwise the situation will only get worse.
• Expression wrinkles. Our face is in constant motion, sometimes even at night, so the appearance of wrinkles is inevitable. But you should not take it for granted, with which nothing can be done - daily care and buccal massage courses can change the situation for the better.
• Deep wrinkles. Not a single cosmetologist can guarantee that they will disappear completely from such a massage, since these are already quite dramatic changes that did not come in one day or even in a year. But it is quite possible to reduce them and make them less visible with regular massage sessions.

Before contacting a beautician, make sure that you can do buccal massage and that you have no contraindications and individual characteristics that are direct contraindications to its use. Otherwise, you not only will not achieve the desired result, but you can also harm your own health.

The list of priority contraindications for conducting buccal facial massage includes the following health problems and individual characteristics.

• Malignant tumors.
• Vascular problems. If you know for sure that your blood vessels are fragile and suffer from physical stress, then this type of massage will have to be abandoned.
• Past diseases in the recent past, for example, stroke.Do not hide from the beautician those health problems that you have at the moment. A qualified master is able to determine whether you can now conduct a course, and if not, he will send you for additional advice to your doctor.
• Skin rashes. Acne, papillomas, rashes of a different nature are also a contraindication to massage. But do not be discouraged, because after solving the problems with the skin, you may well visit the buccal massage sessions.
• Open wounds, scratches, injuries. When exposed to force on damaged areas or nearby areas, it is possible that the situation may worsen and the regeneration process slows down.

• Infections. For almost all infectious diseases, experts recommend giving up massage. At least during treatment and rehabilitation.
• Allergic reactions. If you suffer from seasonal allergies or develop a rash as a result of a reaction to any particular irritant, postpone the visit to the beautician and start the procedure only after consulting a professional.
• Pregnancy and lactation. During this special period, a bunch of prohibitions and restrictions arise in front of a woman, and cosmetic procedures are no exception. The most important thing is to preserve the health of the baby and mother, so you should not self-medicate and prescribe any procedures for yourself without the permission of the obstetrician.

Buccal facial massage has a lot of advantages, but still you need to have a clear idea of ​​what result you can achieve after the course.

1. The contour of the face becomes clearer and more accurate, and this despite the fact that no injections or cuts will be made. Therefore, there is no recovery period after the procedure. But after the first session, you will notice improvements.
2. Any massage affects primarily the muscles, and the buccal one is no exception. In this way, the muscles of the lower part of the face are trained, which has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin.
3. Relaxation. Some mimic wrinkles appear precisely because the muscles are in constant tension. By relaxing them, the specialist achieves the effect of smoothing wrinkles.
4. Emotional release. A massage session can also help relieve accumulated emotional stress. Since the specialist asks you to completely relax and trust his hands, the psyche also comes to a state of rest and relaxation.
5. Recovery. If you have any pathology of the facial nerve, then such regular facial training is what the doctor ordered. They help not only solve the problem, but also provide adequate prevention of relapse.
6. Slimming. After a course of massage, you can see that the face has become slimmer. This is achieved due to the lifting effect and giving the muscle tone.

It does not require compliance with any difficult conditions and rules.

It is not difficult to carry out the proper preparation, but you should not neglect it - it will help to see the maximum effect in the shortest possible time.

1. On the scheduled day before going to the beautician, refrain from violent feasts, and you should not eat at all 2 hours before the start of the procedure.
2. For best results, skip tea and coffee on the day of the massage. It will be much more useful to drink plain clean water.
3. Do not apply makeup - anyway, the master will ask you to wash it off. If the skin is previously freed from a layer of foundation, blush and other cosmetics, the master will only have to clean his face again with a special product to remove dust and oily sheen.
4. Before and during the massage, try to completely relax and not strain any of the facial muscles - this way the master will be able to work out all the areas better.
5. It is recommended to stop drinking alcohol a few days before the procedure.It will be great if you also quit smoking at the same time. This will not only improve the result of the massage, but also have a beneficial effect on the entire body.

Buccal massage is a patented technology and cannot be performed on a whim or the order of the actions. The author of the methodology conducts training courses and trainings to tell and show all the features of the implementation. Even experienced beauticians will have to undergo a training course in order to perform massage correctly, not harm the client and achieve an optimal result.

Before proceeding directly to the massage, the master conducts an antiseptic treatment and puts on sterile gloves.

Each session invariably includes several stages.

1. Stroking. In this way, the master prepares the skin and muscles for more aggressive action, which will follow.
2. Warm up. Every athlete knows that before training, you need to stretch your muscles, otherwise you can get injured. Massage is a kind of training for the muscles of the face, so the master performs circular movements all over the face to relieve the existing tension.
3. Tapping. With his fingertips, the masseur, as it were, taps the area to be treated. Muscles and skin react to such irritation and in the future will be ready for the tougher movements of the master.
4. Tingling and vibration. This stage is necessary to stimulate blood circulation, resulting in improved cell regeneration. Manipulations are carried out both outside and inside the oral cavity.
5. The main massage begins when the master begins to work out each muscle separately. In this case, he moves from the far corners of the oral cavity to the lips. It pulls back a little and returns the muscles to their place - due to this, wrinkles are corrected. While doing this, you may feel some discomfort, but this is absolutely normal.
6. Stroking. The final stage, during which the muscles and skin relax and come to their usual state.

There are also author's methods of buccal massage. In many ways, they are similar to the basic method, but they have their own characteristics. For example, the method of Elena Nosova involves the combination of several techniques and the effect on the bone base and joints, and the method of Yakov Gershkovich does not imply aggressive action, but it is considered necessary to work out almost all the muscles of the face along the massage lines.

It is quite difficult to do a buccal massage at home. Firstly, knowledge and practice in such a matter is necessary, and secondly, it will be quite difficult to work out some muscles from the inside on your own, since complete relaxation of all muscles is necessary. And, of course, from the outside it is much better to see which areas and muscles are affected.

But if you are determined to do the internal buccal massage yourself, follow the instructions given carefully.

1. Clean your skin of make-up, disinfect your hands and put on sterile gloves. It will be especially difficult for girls with long nails to carry out the procedure according to all the rules and not injure the tissue.
2. Massage your face lightly. The line of influence should be directed from the chin to the cheekbones. Do not press or pull on the skin very hard.
3. With the index and middle fingers of your hand, begin to work out the area inside the mouth. With massaging and slightly pulling movements, draw from the corners of the mouth into the depths.After working out each zone, use a patting motion to normalize circulation.
4. Finish the massage with light strokes and apply a nourishing cream on the outside.

Reviews of buccal massage are very, very positive, but the end result largely depends on the correctness and number of sessions, individual characteristics and the initial condition of the skin.

For the most part, all patients who have undergone a full course of massage notice improvements in the condition of the skin and facial contours. Experts are also confident in the effectiveness of such a massage, but many of them argue that it is almost impossible to achieve visible results when performed on your own.

Another concern of specialists is related to the fact that in order to maintain the achieved results in the future, repeated repetition of the course will be required. In general, this is a completely safe alternative to surgical intervention.
