The Power of Buccal Massage: Inside-Out Skincare for Lasting Results

August 24, 20252 min read

When you think of a massage, you might imagine easing tension in your back or shoulders. But did you know your face muscles need the same kind of care? Facial massage isn’t just a soothing spa extra—it’s a powerful tool for skin health, aging gracefully, and overall wellbeing.


Why Facial Massage Matters

Your face has over 40 muscles that work all day—expressing emotions, chewing, speaking, even holding tension you may not notice. Just like the body, when these muscles tighten, circulation slows and the skin can look tired or sag. Facial massage resets that cycle.


Benefits of Facial Massage

Boosts Circulation
Increases oxygen and nutrient flow, giving skin that post-facial glow.

Lymphatic Drainage
Helps reduce puffiness and fluid retention, especially around the eyes and jawline.

Releases Muscle Tension
Relieves tightness from stress, teeth grinding, or TMJ, softening the face for a more lifted appearance.

Natural Anti-Aging
Encourages collagen production, keeps skin firmer, and improves elasticity over time.

Holistic Wellbeing
Facial massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping your whole body relax.


Buccal Massage

The Buccal Massage Difference

At Galindo Aesthetics, I specialize in Russian Buccal Massage, which works both externally on the skin but also intra-orally, inside the mouth. This technique reaches deeper facial muscles at a different level and angle that typical facial massage can’t access—creating a natural “facelift” effect while releasing jaw tension at the root, and letting go of stress and "stuck" lymph.


When to Add Facial Massage to Your Routine

  • If you feel puffy, stressed, or notice jaw clenching

  • When your skin looks dull or tired

  • As part of an anti-aging, non-invasive regimen

  • Or simply when you want a reset that benefits skin and body


Experience It for Yourself

Facial massage isn’t just indulgence - it’s an essential part of healthy, youthful skin. It is something I myself live by, and incorporate every day during my own routine; encouraging all my clients to do the same. During every facial at Galindo Aesthetics, I include intentional massage, with advanced buccal techniques in The Journey and The Experience. I personally invite you to come try it for yourself.

🌿 Your skin will thank you, and so will your body.
