Buccal Massage

A facial massage aimed at improving the condition of muscles
This massage technique combines external sculpting with intraoral facial massage and primarily targets the lower third of the face. It is recommended for those experiencing age-related changes in the lower face, including swelling. Along with aesthetic benefits, buccal massage is also supportive for clients experiencing jaw tension (TMJ), clenching, stress-related tightness, or a feeling of “fullness” in the midface.

Delivering both the inner relief and the outer radiance, this combination is best for those who desire a comprehensive face work. The Booster complements buccal’s benefits by using professional-grade skincare for targeted results. Depending on your skin’s immediate needs, it may be directed toward hydration, brightening, or anti-aging effects.

Buccal Massage & Micro-Current

A buccal massage with an added focus on lifting
Combined to deliver a greater lifting effect, this non-invasive treatment adds a low level electrical current to stimulate muscles and tissues. The novel application MyoLight from OxyLight utilizes both light and micro-current technologies simultaneously, allowing it to work at a cellular level, providing muscle toning, enhancing blood circulation and lymphatic flow.

Buccal Massage & Gua Sha

A buccal massage with an added focus on lymphatic drainage
While buccal aids in lymphatic drainage, adding manual lymphatic drainage will achieve further facial contours. Gua sha perfectly stimulates lymph circulation, improves metabolism, and ensures cleansing of the subcutaneous tissues. This combination of massages achieves improved blood supply, reduced facial swelling, and rejuvenated appearance.

Buccal Massage & Scalp

A buccal massage with an added focus on aponeurosis
Lack of mobility in the aponeurosis (scalp) leads to wrinkles in the upper third of the face, drooping of the eyebrow line, and eyelid ptosis. A tight scalp can also cause tension headaches. By implementing scalp massage into the treatment, Aiza addresses the issue comprehensively and works on all areas – the upper, middle, and lower parts of the face.

Gua Sha Massage

A facial massage aimed at stimulating lymphatic drainage
Gua Sha is a traditional facial massage technique that uses a smooth stone tool to support lymphatic drainage and circulation. This treatment helps reduce facial puffiness, ease fluid retention, and promote a fresher, more refreshed appearance. Gentle, intentional movements help relieve facial tension while encouraging the natural flow of lymph. Deeply relaxing and restorative, Gua Sha leaves the skin looking less puffy and feeling relaxed and revitalized.
