Massage Therapy
-
Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized, more sculpting-focused version of traditional lymphatic drainage massage. It became popular through Brazilian body-contouring techniques and is often associated with visibly reducing bloating and enhancing body definition immediately after treatment.
It’s inspired by manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) principles but typically uses firmer, faster, and more rhythmic techniques than classic medical lymph drainage. The goal is to:
Stimulate the lymphatic system
Reduce water retention and bloating
Improve circulation
Enhance body contour definition
Support post-surgical recovery (especially cosmetic surgery, when medically cleared)
-
Buccal massage (also called intra-oral facial massage) is a specialized manual therapy technique that works on the muscles of the face both externally and from inside the mouth.
Buccal massage is commonly used for:
Facial tension (especially jaw and cheeks)
TMJ discomfort
Headaches related to jaw clenching
Stress-related tightness
Post-dental or orthodontic tension
Cosmetic facial sculpting and lymphatic drainage
Improving circulation and muscle tone
What does treatment entail:
Discussion of goals (pain relief, cosmetic sculpting, TMJ relief, etc.)
Review of medical history (important for TMJ disorders, recent dental work, infections, etc.)
The face is cleansed beforehand
External facial muscle, jaw and neck massage therapy
Intra-Oral (Inside the Mouth) Work
The therapist works both inside and outside simultaneously to release deep tension.
Often finishes with lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness
