Self-guided buccal facial massage: training, video, before and after photos

To influence the facial muscles in order to improve their tone and tighten the relief, a buccal massage is performed. As a rule, a deep massage effect is carried out in the cheek area, not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Today, there are several techniques for performing buccal facial massage that can be easily performed independently at home.

History of the origin of the technique

The developer of the technique is French cosmetologist Joël Siocco

, who first created an independent buccal facial massage. Initially, the idea was not accepted by adherents of the classical technique, but the specialist assured that the pain that occurs during this procedure cannot be compared with the effect obtained.

Indeed, unlike many other techniques, sculptural deep tissue buccal facial massage has a relatively strong effect on the skin. In addition, his technique is quite unusual, since it involves working the muscles through the mouth.

One way or another, the technique has gained worldwide popularity. But Joelle emphasizes that, despite the ability to perform buccal facial massage yourself at home, learning will not be easy, and videos that clearly show the correct technique help make this process easier.

Performing a sculpture massage in a salon

It is believed that a salon will give better results than a procedure done at home. This is due to the fact that the manipulation will be carried out by a professional master who knows the technique and can apply it correctly. The main thing is to choose a highly qualified master who knows his business. To do this, it is recommended to ask the opinions of friends who regularly perform this procedure or look at reviews on the Internet.

Duration of manipulation

Typically the duration of the procedure in the salon is 60 minutes. At this time, not only the sculptural massage itself comes into play, but also the preparation for the procedure. To achieve a visible positive effect, 8 to 12 sessions should be performed.

The cost of a massage depends on the salon where the procedure is performed. The average price is from 2000 to 6000 rubles. The price is indicated for one session. Consequently, the price of a sculpture course ranges from 24,000 to 72,000 rubles.

Indications for self-buccal facial massage

It is advisable to do a buccal facial massage for women who have crossed the thirty-year mark. It won’t hurt at an earlier age, however, until the age of 30, many do not encounter problems with the appearance of wrinkles. More precisely, they are not so deep and pronounced.

Indications for buccal facial massage are:

• change in facial contours (blurred and vague);
• dulling of the skin and changes in its color;
• loss of skin elasticity and firmness, which nature has endowed them with;
• swelling of the face;
• deep wrinkles;
• fat deposits, formation of a double chin.

On a note! It is worth noting that buccal facial massage helps to cope with more serious problems. For example, it restores facial expressions lost after a stroke.

Self-paced buccal massage training

Most likely, only specialists can do it on a professional level. But even ordinary people can master the technique of buccal facial massage with minimal errors on their own. Guided by video tutorials, you can easily perform it at home.

The technique for self-buccal facial massage is as follows:

1. Get rid of makeup using special products (milk, gel for washing). If you are more accustomed to using regular soap, you can use that, but it is advisable to use one that does not dry out the skin. Wear sterile gloves on your hands or wash your hands thoroughly and then treat them with alcohol. The procedure must be performed cleanly to prevent skin infection.

2. Massage your facial skin using light warming movements. The direction should be chosen from the lower jaw to the cheekbones. The pressing force should gradually increase.

3. Place your middle and index fingers on the inner wall of your cheek. Then, performing slow smooth movements, massage, starting from the corner of the lips. In this way, it is necessary to massage all the chewing and facial muscles.

4. When the main part of the massage is completed, you should begin light movements using the pads of your fingers. You need to pat the outside of your cheeks to restore blood circulation in order to avoid swelling.

5. Apply nourishing or moisturizing cream to your face.

By following the correct technique, you can quickly achieve the desired effect.

Rules for buccal massage

Effectiveness after a massage will be achieved if you adhere to the basic rules:

• Sterility is especially important, which is why the skin of the face should be perfectly clean, and gloves should be worn on the hands, changing them after each session;
• the first procedure should last no more than 15 minutes, since such actions are something new for the skin - when the sensations become more familiar, the time can be increased;
• During the massage, a pleasant pain occurs, which is similar to the sensations after active sports, this is the limit of the norm;
• do not delay the procedure, as the pain may intensify and marks will remain on the face;
• After the first session, you will not be able to get the expected result; you will need to complete the entire massage course.

On a note! A full course of buccal facial massage is 10-15 sessions, which depends on the condition of the skin and age characteristics. The effect may not be obtained if the session is interrupted. A minimum of 5 procedures must be performed, after which, provided the correct technique is used, the first results can be achieved.

Before deciding on this technique, it is important to study your facial skin, its condition, and draw conclusions about the required number of sessions. After the first procedure, slight swelling may remain, which should not be alarming. On the contrary, this is a normal phenomenon that will disappear after a few hours.

On a note! In addition to buccal facial massage, you can use a cosmetic lifting effect. The use of topical cosmetics such as masks, gels and creams is also allowed.

Effect of massage

Massage has a variety of physiological effects on the body. Subjective sensations during, as well as after, a massage, with the correct choice of massage techniques and methods of their application, dosages are expressed in the appearance of a feeling of pleasant warmth throughout the body, improved well-being and increased overall tone. If massage is used incorrectly, general weakness, a feeling of exhaustion and other negative general and local reactions may occur. Such phenomena are often observed with an overdose of massage movements, even in healthy people, but especially in the elderly, whose tissues have increased sensitivity.

The effect of massage on the skin

By massaging the skin, we influence all its layers, skin vessels and muscles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and also influence the central nervous system, with which the skin is inextricably linked.
Massage has a variety of physiological effects on the skin:

• it is cleared of the detached horny scales of the epidermis, and with them of foreign particles (dust, etc.) that have entered the pores of the skin, and microbes usually found on the surface of the skin;
• the secretory function of the sweat and sebaceous glands improves and their outlets are cleared of secretions;
• lymph and blood circulation of the skin is activated, the influence of venous stagnation is eliminated, blood supply to the skin is increased and, therefore, its nutrition is improved, as a result of which pale, flabby, dry skin becomes pink, elastic, velvety, and its resistance to mechanical and temperature influences significantly increases;
• skin and muscle tone increases, which makes the skin smooth, dense and elastic;
• local and general metabolism improves, since the skin takes part in all metabolic processes in the body.

The effect of massage on the subcutaneous fat layer

Massage affects adipose tissue indirectly, through a general effect on metabolism. By increasing metabolic processes in the body, enhancing the release of fat from fat depots, massage promotes the “burning” of fats found in excess amounts in adipose tissue. It should be noted that massage for weight loss is carried out in long courses (minimum 15 sessions) and combined with physical exercise.

The effects of massage on muscles and joints

Under the influence of massage, the elasticity of muscle fibers and their contractile function increases, muscle atrophy slows down, and already developed hypotrophy decreases. Massage helps improve muscle performance, while accelerating recovery after intense physical activity. Even with a short massage (for 3-5 minutes), the function of tired muscles is better restored than during a rest for 20-30 minutes.

Massage has a significant effect on joints. Under the influence of massage, the blood supply to the joint and periarticular tissues improves, the bursal-ligamentous apparatus of the joint is strengthened, and the resorption of joint effusion, as well as pathological deposits in the periarticular tissues, is accelerated.

The effect of massage on the nervous system

The nervous system is the first to perceive the effect of massage, because... The skin contains a huge number of nerve endings. By changing the strength, character, and duration of the massage, you can reduce or increase nervous excitability, strengthen and revive lost reflexes, improve tissue trophism, as well as the activity of internal organs.

Massage has a profound effect on the peripheral nervous system, weakening or stopping pain, improving nerve conductivity, accelerating the regeneration process when it is damaged, preventing or reducing vasomotor sensory and trophic disorders. With gentle, slow stroking, the excitability of the massaged tissues decreases, and this has a calming effect on the nervous system; with vigorous and fast stroking, the irritability of the massaged tissues increases. The atmosphere of the massage is very important for influencing the nervous system; warm air, dim light, pleasant calm music help enhance the therapeutic effect of the massage.

The effect of massage on the circulatory and lymphatic system

Massage causes expansion of functioning capillaries, opening of reserve capillaries, which creates more abundant irrigation of blood not only to the massaged area, but also reflexively to internal organs, resulting in increased gas exchange between blood and tissue (oxygen therapy). At rest, 31 capillaries work in 1 mm² of muscle cross-section, and after massage their number increases to 1400! The opening of reserve capillaries under the influence of massage helps to improve the redistribution of blood in the body, which facilitates the work of the heart.

Massage has a great effect on lymph circulation. Lymph flow occurs very slowly - 4-5 mm per second, but the flow speed is very variable and depends on various factors. Under the influence of massage movements - stroking in a centripetal direction - the skin's lymphatic vessels are easily emptied and the lymph flow accelerates. In addition to the direct effect on local lymph flow, massage has a reflex effect on the entire lymphatic system, improving the tonic and vasomotor functions of the lymphatic vessels.

The effect of massage on metabolism

Massage has a variety of effects on metabolic processes. Under the influence of massage, urination increases. The amount of hemoglobin, erythrocytes and leukocytes in the blood increases. Massage does not cause an increase in the amount of lactic acid in the muscles, as well as organic acids, the accumulation of which leads to the development of acidosis. This explains the beneficial effect on tired muscles. By enhancing metabolism, massage helps reduce fat deposits.

Sculptural massage should be done using sterile talc. This will help improve the adhesion of the epidermis and fingers. The session is not carried out with oil or any other lubricants. The technique will be as follows:

• All surfaces of the fingers are vibrated. Move in a circle along massage lines.

After the end of the session, stroking is performed. Next, remove the talc with a cotton swab dipped in lotion. It will be useful to make a mask based on medicinal plants. The duration of this procedure is 20 minutes.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of buccal facial massage is that you can do it yourself at home. In addition, it is universal because, in addition to the breakdown of fat deposits and rejuvenation, it promotes the rapid recovery of facial muscles after a stroke.

Buccal massage is not without its disadvantages. First of all, they consist of limited localization, that is, the procedure is carried out mainly in the cheek area. Experts suggest doing it in combination with sculptural exercises. In their opinion, sculptural-buccal facial massage will help transform your appearance in a positive way beyond recognition.

Possible dangers

If you use the services of a beauty salon, the result after a buccal massage depends entirely on the experience and level of qualifications of the cosmetologist. When performing the procedure at home, you can only rely on yourself. This is why experts are so insistent on strictly following the correct technique.

Undesirable effects can be obtained from strong pressure on soft tissues or improper grip of the masticatory muscles. This will not only prevent you from making your face more beautiful, but will also harm your appearance.

The result of incorrect buccal massage techniques can be severe painful manifestations. As a rule, they disappear after a certain period of time, you just need to stop the session. However, in some cases, traces may remain in the form of bruises and hemorrhages on the face. The volume of the cheeks may also increase slightly, but in most cases this is normal. Usually the swelling subsides quickly after some time.

Carrying out sculptural massage at home

Sculptural massage at home helps to improve the appearance of your face and save you time and money on visiting the salon. The main thing is to master the technique of performing the manipulation. The procedure at home is carried out in several stages:

You should start with preparation for performing manipulations. They do this as follows:

• the face is held over the steam of a hot herbal decoction for 7 minutes;
• hands are washed and dried thoroughly;
• hair is covered so that it does not interfere with performance;
• cream is applied to the epidermis.

After this, the procedure begins immediately.

1) Kneading the muscles.

Light movements work the muscles of the face, neck and décolleté.

2) Massage of the neck, forearm and décolleté.

• using fingertips and tapping movements, work the area from the neck to the back of the head;
• work the muscles of the neck and forearm with the pads of the fingers;
• perform stroking movements with moderate pressure from the chin in the décolleté area.

All movements should be moderate so as not to cause pain.

3) Drainage of lymph nodes.

The lymph nodes located in the neck, chest, shoulders, back of the head, temples and collarbone are lightly pressed and kneaded.

4) Improvement of the contour.

Perform the following manipulations:

• knead the cheek area with rotational movements;
• pinch the entire face along the contour;

• stroke the entire face - this is the end of the massage.

How to consolidate and maintain the effect?

So, how often should you do a buccal facial massage? Experts recommend repeating the course after 2-3 weeks to consolidate the results. If the effect was not achieved the first time, you need to reconsider your own mistakes and repeat the technique after the specified time, acting correctly. The duration of the result depends on the condition of the skin and is individual for each specific case.

Cosmetics will help consolidate the effect. As a rule, this is a lifting mask, but the specific preparation is selected individually by a cosmetologist. It is recommended to apply the product after the first procedure.
