The Holistic Buccal Facial is a transformative, high-touch treatment that naturally lifts, sculpts, and detoxifies the skin—from the inside out. This no-downtime facial incorporates inner oral massage (buccal technique), facial cupping, and gua sha to relieve muscle tension, encourage lymphatic flow, and stimulate deep cellular rejuvenation without injections or machines. This is our most relaxing, massage focused facial at GLOW.

• Using gloved hands, your aesthetician will massage the facial muscles both externally and from inside the mouth, releasing deeply held tension and stimulating oxygenation and circulation. The addition of gua sha and cupping tools enhances sculpting, boosts collagen production, and leaves your skin looking visibly firmer and more radiant.

Why Choose This Service?

This treatment delivers deep results by targeting the musculature, lymphatic system, and nervous system in one session. Unlike topical facials, this approach improves structural tone, circulation, and skin clarity from within. The integration of facial cupping and gua sha promotes sculpting and lymph movement, while buccal massage works from the inside to release tension and restore youthful tone—without injectables or machines.

What Does It Feel Like?

Expect a soothing and rhythmic experience. The facial begins with gentle lymphatic drainage and sculpting using gua sha and facial cupping, followed by gloved buccal massage. Clients often feel tension melt away and leave feeling both deeply relaxed and lifted.
