Buccal Massage: The Face Massage You Never Knew You Needed

The newest trend has hit TikTok and I wouldn’t be surprised if you start wondering what the hell is buccal massage? Well for years the rich and famous have known about this technique. It’s popular in Hollywood before major award events and press rounds because it’s like getting a face lift without the surgery. In my profession, there’s a quiet revolution happening inside the wellness and aesthetic world: people are discovering that the inside of the mouth is a doorway to dramatically better facial tone, less tension, and real cosmetic improvement. Buccal massage — also called intraoral or inside-out facial massage — is an advanced hands-on technique that works the muscles and fascia from inside the cheeks and oral cavity, targeting the masseter, buccinator, levator and depressor muscles, and the connective tissue that shapes the face.
