What Is Buccal Massage?

Buccal massage (intraoral massage) involves massaging pressure points inside the mouth to stimulate the muscles and ligaments in the buccal fat pad (between the cheeks and the jowls) to tighten and contour the area. When done regularly, this procedure can provide similar results to those of dermal fillers, but without the needles and potential side effects. The treatment typically involves massage of other facial areas as well.

When facial muscles stiffen due to stress, injury, an overactive jaw, or a medical disorder, they obstruct blood flow, lymphatic circulation, and detoxification. Tissues don’t receive enough nutrients and oxygen, resulting in water retention, puffiness, a dull complexion, and drooping cheeks and jowls. Buccal massage resolves these issues, providing numerous skin benefits.

What Is Woods Therapy Facial Sculpting?

Woods Therapy is a 100% natural way to contour the face, reduce a double chin, reduce wrinkles, and tone the skin.

The secret is that the specially designed wooden elements act on the skin by activating the fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing more collagen and elastic fibers, accelerating the rejuvenation process and combating sagging.

In addition, the movements applied in facial wood therapy improve muscle tissue.

On the other hand, through this therapy we help to activate the lymphatic and circulatory system by oxygenating the skin, providing nutrients, and eliminating toxins and fat (which tend to accumulate in certain parts of the face such as the double chin); therefore firms and tones the skin and contour the face and neck. The final result is a rejuvenated and firmer skin.

Apart from the physical benefits, wood therapy also has healthy effects on the mind, since the treatment induces complete and satisfactory relaxation and lowers the stress levels in the body and mind.

The Woods Buccal Method protocol combines Woods Therapy techniques and buccal massage techniques to offer clients a powerful natural alternative for facial rejuvenation. 

The techniques taught in the Woods Buccal Method have been systematically thought out and implemented creatively by Maria Garcia to ensure clients receive the maximum benefit of both Buccal Massage and Woods Therapy.

This protocol offers clients instant facial softness by reducing lines and improving circulation.
