Buccal face massage in Kadıköy, Istanbul

Buccal massage is a manual face massage technique that reaches the facial muscles from both outside and inside the mouth. At Luminosa we perform it entirely by hand, for a lifting effect, softer-looking lines and relaxed facial muscles.

What is buccal massage?

Buccal massage takes its name from “buccal”, meaning the inside of the cheek. Unlike a classic face massage, the therapist also works inside the mouth with gloved hands, reaching the muscles around the cheeks and jaw at a depth that can't be reached from outside.

The result is a more lifted, rested and defined-looking face, achieved with a completely manual, needle-free treatment.

How is it done?

  1. Gentle lymphatic drainage on the face and neck prepares circulation.
  2. Muscle-releasing and sculpting movements are applied from outside.
  3. With gloved hands, the cheek muscles and jaw area are worked from inside the mouth.
  4. The session ends with soothing facial movements.

Benefits of buccal massage

  • More defined, lifted-looking contours
  • A natural lifting effect
  • Less visible puffiness

Who is it for?

“Honestly, one of the cleanest and most spacious beauty salons I’ve been to! I had a facial treatment and buccal facial massage here and was so happy with both. […] I’d honestly come all the way from London just to have my treatments done at Luminosa!”

Frequently asked questions

Does buccal massage hurt?
No, it isn't painful. During the intraoral work you may feel firm pressure similar to a deep tissue massage; we adjust the pressure with you throughout the session.
When will I see results?
You'll feel freshness and lightness right after the session. For a more visible and lasting result we recommend a 4-session package.
Can I have buccal massage after fillers or Botox?
If you've had fillers or Botox, please tell us before your session. We'll plan the timing together based on when your treatment was done.
Who should postpone buccal massage?
We recommend postponing if you have mouth ulcers or sores, an active skin infection, or recent dental work.
What should I do after buccal massage?
Drink plenty of water and avoid heavy make-up that day. We'll also show you simple facial movements you can do at home to maintain the effect.
