Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who should avoid buccal facial massage?
Buccal facial massage may not be recommended for clients with active skin infections, open wounds, recent dental procedures, acute inflammation, or severe acne flare-ups.
Clients undergoing cancer treatment, receiving chemotherapy or radiation, or living with certain autoimmune or systemic medical conditions should consult their physician before scheduling facial massage.
If you are unsure whether buccal massage in Laguna Hills is right for you, a consultation is always provided prior to treatment to ensure safety, comfort, and appropriate care.
2. I recently had Botox or fillers. Can I still receive facial massage?
If you have had Botox or dermal fillers, facial massage is generally postponed for at least 2–3 weeks after injections. This allows the product to properly settle and prevents unwanted movement. After that period, gentle techniques may be safely performed. Always inform your therapist about recent cosmetic procedures.
3. Is buccal facial massage painful?
Buccal massage works deeply with facial muscles, so mild discomfort can occur in areas with stored tension, especially in the jaw. However, the treatment should not be painful. Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level.
4. How often should I receive facial massage?
For visible and lasting results, facial massage is recommended every 2–4 weeks. Clients focusing on lifting or sculpting may benefit from a short initial course followed by maintenance sessions.
5. Can pregnant women receive facial massage?
In most cases, gentle facial massage can be safely performed during pregnancy. Techniques are adjusted to ensure comfort, relaxation, and proper positioning, avoiding excessive pressure and stimulation.
Facial massage during pregnancy may help reduce facial puffiness, relieve tension, and promote overall relaxation. However, every pregnancy is unique. We recommend informing your therapist about your pregnancy before booking.
All treatments during pregnancy are performed only with the approval and guidance of your healthcare provider.
