Technique and treatment method
This treatment begins with targeted internal and external cheek manipulation to access the buccal space safely. Practitioners work through the mouth and along external facial tissues to release tension, then layer myofascial release techniques to soften connective tissue. Lymphatic drainage sequences follow, encouraging fluid movement along facial channels to support a refined, drained appearance without surgical intervention.
Addressing TMJ-related tightness and reducing the prominence of nasolabial folds are central goals of the combined approach. By working the masseter, buccinator, and surrounding fascia, therapists can relieve localized tension that contributes to jaw discomfort and deeper fold appearance. Results vary; clients commonly report increased facial ease and a more contoured feeling after treatment.
What to expect in session
Sessions are 100 MINUTES in length and are provided for $285. Your therapist begins with a consultation to review bite, jaw symptoms, and facial concerns, then obtains consent before internal cheek work. The treatment alternates between gentle intra-oral manipulation, external myofascial techniques, and a sequence of lymphatic drainage designed to encourage fluid movement and surface contouring.
Expect a mix of firm pressure and subtle releases; intra-oral work can feel unusual but should not be painful. Therapists check comfort continually and adapt pressure, timing, and sequence when clients report sensitivity. Immediately after, many people notice relaxation, mild facial softness, or temporary tenderness that typically resolves within days.
