Buccal Massage

What is Sculpt-Out Multilevel Face Massage?

It is a unique and innovative way of face and skin rejuvenation. I take an individual approach to each client, combining different massage techniques and tools for every treatment.

In most cases the treatment includes three main steps;

Deep tissue face 

Buccal (intraoral)

Vacuum suction

What are the benefits?

There are many many benefits but some that resonate with my clients most are;

Non invasive, natural and holistic approach to ageing 

Improves face symmetry

Lengthens neck and improves its skin texture and lines

Lifts eyebrows and opens the eyes

Defines the jaw area

Improves blood and lymph circulation

Aids jaw tension

Is it safe?

Yes. But a full consultation will be carried out to ensure its adapted to you.

How many sessions?

It's a massage treatment so you will feel and  see results after the first one. However if you do suffer from TMJ or want to achieve particular results more will be required.

Who can benefit?

Everyone. It is particularly popular with male clients as it feels more like a massage than a facial. I often recommend that clients have it before injectables to give the face a good workout to improve circulation and drain the lymph.

What is Buccal massage?

lt is a holistic treatment working on the muscles from inside the mouth. you work inside of the mouth one side at a time. It stimulates the lymph and releases tension in muscles you can't get to externally.

Buccal massage can be uncomfortable but this is normal due to the amount of tension build-up. The more regularly you have it done, the more your muscles get used to it.

Are there any contra-indications to Buccal massage?

Not many but a few would include;

Braces

Skin/muscle inflammation

Recent dental work

Recent surgeries in area

When will I see results?

From the first treatment!

But for longer lasting  results a number of sessions will be needed.

What is the aftercare?

Drink lots of water

Avoid exercise for the rest of the day

Avoid touching you face for the rest of the day

Avoid other treatments for 48hrs

Everything you need to know about Lymphatic Drainage

What is lymph and why is it important?

The lymph system plays a BIG role within the body. Three of its main functions are:

Maintain and balance body fluid 

Help absorption of important fats

Aids are immune system to work better.

What made you want to start out doing Lymphatic Drainage?

I have been looking for a course specifically focusing on MLD for several years. Although there were courses available none of them offered anything extra to what I already knew from my years of practice, training and teaching in the industry. Until I saw Flavia’s training being promoted.

How did you find doing Flavia’s course?

I found it very inspiring. Flavia and her team are very knowledgeable and supportive. I still speak to Flavia as she is always on hand a ready to support if we have and questions or concerns regarding treatment.

What type of lymphatic drainage methods do you use?

So, I offer different techniques depending on clients needs and concerns. Someone recovering from illness will need a different approach to someone looking to detox and tone.

How does lymphatic drainage work?

You work along the lymph pathways using various movements depending on what you want to achieve. It also involves various breathing exercises during treatment. 

What can I expect during my session?

It’s a full body treatment focusing a lot on the stomach, chest and face where the majority of your lymph nodes are. It combines fast and slow movements with various pressure. But always working towards the nodes.

How many sessions of lymphatic drainage are needed to see results?

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. We can discuss this in a consultation prior to treatment. 

Manual vs mechanical, which is better?

Manual! That’s why it’s so popular. A machine at access the way human touch can. Although some machines used in addition can be very effective. 

Are there any side effects and what should I do after my session to get the full benefit?

Drink plenty of water 

Keep your legs raised 

Dry skin brush 

Avoid alcohol 

Follow a healthy diet 

What are the results?

Improved sleep 

Feel lighter 

Better digestion 

Improved skin 

More energy 

Plus much more

What do you enjoy most about being a beauty therapist?

I love making people feel happy and restored after visiting me. I always give 100% with every treatment and my aim is to make people feel a better version of themselves.

What are the most popular treatments you offer your clients?

Massage and facials. I offer bespoke treatments and I adapt these treatments to every client every time.

Tell us a little bit more about your bespoke treatments and what they entail

After a consultation discussing different factors like treatment aims, concerns, home care routines, lifestyle etc I create a treatment to help clients achieve the results they want. I also suggest future treatments that could help them reach their goals if that’s something they are looking for.

If you could undergo only one of your treatments yourself, which one would it be?

I’d choose a bespoke facial incorporating a sculpt out face massage and SkinPen microneedling. 

How do you make a client feel at ease and comfortable?

I’m extremely laid back and I think that this is reflected in my treatment space and how people feel when they come to see me. I have a clean tranquil space that’s easy to relax in. It’s also super easy to park outside which is always a bonus.

Will you be introducing some new treatments this year; can you tell us about those?

Yes, I have just had the pleasure of training with Flavia Morellato. She is the leading lymph drainage massage specialist in the UK. It was her first training course and ten of us from all over the world got the opportunity to learn her technique. I have been busy doing case studies and have just added it to my treatment list.

What are the most common skin concerns that you come across?

Anti-ageing and preventative treatments for facials. But I believe more people are becoming more aware of the importance of self-care. It’s not just about going to the gym. You need to make space for relaxation and to switch off. You need to find what you enjoy it could be a massage, facial or a meditation session. They all work and are all important for our health.

What is your recommended skin care routine?

Keep it simple. Most people use way too much on their skin now a days. A good simple routine is best and make sure you apply SPF 30+ daily.  Ask someone who knows what to use. I think most skin clinics including myself offer complementary skin consultations. We all want to help. You don’t need to spend money on high end prices either. 

When you are not occupied helping other people with their self-care, what do you enjoy doing that relaxes you?

I enjoy going to the gym and walking my Weimaraner Meg!
