ADVANCED FACIAL MASSAGE
At Skin by Catherine Maria, we offer advanced facial massage techniques that go beyond surface-level relaxation. Whether you're looking to release jaw tension, lift and sculpt facial contours, or simply take some time for yourself, these bespoke facial massage treatments are designed to enhance both your skin's appearance and your overall well-being, as well as providing a natural alternative to invasive procedures.
WHAT IS ADVANCED FACIAL MASSAGE?
The advanced facial massage goes beyond traditional methods, working deeper into the facial muscles to promote natural lifting, improve circulation, and stimulate collagen production. We incorporate a variety of techniques to suit your individual needs, including:
SCULPT & LIFT MASSAGE - this specialised massage uses rhythmic, firm movements to stimulate facial muscles, helping to lift and define the face.
INTRA-ORAL (BUCCAL) MASSAGE - performed inside the mouth, this technique targets the deeper muscles of the jaws and cheeks, alleviating tension, improving jaw mobility, and reducing puffiness.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE - gentle, fluid movements encourage the removal of toxins and excess fluid, reducing inflammation and leaving your skin looking refreshed and radiant.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT
The treatment starts with a nourishing double cleanse to remove impurities and prepare your skin for the treatment ahead.
A fruit enzyme peel is then applied to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell renewal. This step enhances the effectiveness of the massage, allowing ingredients to penetrate more deeply and leaving your skin smooth, refined and radiant.
Following the exfoliation, the Lift & Sculpt facial massage begins, which works deep into the facial muscles to improve circulation and define contours. If you choose to include Intra-Oral (Buccal) massage, this specialised technique will be performed gently inside the mouth to release tension in the jaw and cheeks, proving relief from clenching and TMJ (temporomandibular) discomfort. You may also upgrade your treatment to include Dermalux LED Light Therapy for enhanced skin rejuvenation. With this upgrade, you'll also receive a hand & arm massage, adding an extra layer of relaxation to your experience.
Throughout the treatment, warm towels and luxurious, skin-nourishing products are used to hydrate, soothe, and revitalise your complexion.
Each treatment is designed to be as much about the experience as it is about the results, giving you a moment to unwind while also addressing your skin's deeper needs.
WHY ADVANCED FACIAL MASSAGE IS A GAME-CHANGER
FOR YOUR SKIN
Using a combination of deep tissue, lifting, and sculpting techniques, this treatment works far beyond the surface. It targets facial muscles to improve circulation, tone, and definition - giving your skin a naturally lifted, refreshed appearance.
This isn't your average facial. It's a full facial workout combined with complete relaxation. Here's why you need to try it:
-
Relieve facial tension from stress, clenching, or jaw tightness
-
Boost circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin
-
Encourage lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and fluid retention
-
Sculpt and define facial contours like the jawline and cheeks
-
Enhance skin firmness and elasticity by stimulating collagen production
-
Soften fine lines and expression tension naturally, without needles
Intra-oral massage is a specialised technique performed inside the mouth (using gloves), working on the muscles you can't reach externally. These muscles often hold deep-seated tension, especially for those who grind their teeth, clench their jaw, or carry emotional stress in the face. This helps to:
-
Release tension in the jaw, cheeks, and around the mouth
-
Improve TMJ (temporomanibular joint) discomfort
-
Smooth marionette lines and soften nasolabial fold
-
Restore facial symmetry and improve muscle tone
-
Reduce puffiness and stagnation in hard-to-reach areas
Clients often describe this part of the treatment as 'unusual but incredibly effective', leaving the feeling lighter, lifted, and deeply relaxed.
