What is buccal facial massage?
Massage technique was invented in France. The basic technique was developed by massage therapist-cosmetologist Joëlle Ciocco, known for her unusual techniques. She has been engaged in research and practical activities in the field of cosmetology for more than thirty years.
Buccal massage by Joelle Ciocco is usually performed in special salons. It is difficult to carry out the procedure yourself, since it requires precise actions on the cheeks from the inside and outside.
The technique involves the use of physical force directed at significant points. This feature makes the technique unique, since previously forceful use in procedures was considered unacceptable.
Normalization of the work of the facial and chewing muscles is caused by careful work on both sides. Training helps restore muscle tone by strengthening the threads. The result is the return of elasticity, as well as general strengthening.
Correct execution of the technique can be learned through training. The master class is conducted by Joëlle herself.
Reviews
- Olga: “ I first heard about buccal massage from my friend who lives in France. She was delighted with him! I admit, before this I was thinking about a facelift. But I was intrigued by the story, saw the changes with my own eyes (we communicated on Skype), decided to look for a service in Moscow and found it. The price of one session is 3000 rubles. I completed six sessions. At first I was a little embarrassed that they would get into my oral cavity with their hands, but curiosity won out. The embarrassment passed after a couple of minutes. It didn't hurt. The sensation is a little like riding a roller coaster, when you fly down with your mouth open, the air inflating your cheeks and pounding them. But overall, I would say that the procedure is even relaxing. After the massage, my face was burning and I felt pleasant tension in my muscles. I was amazed by the end result: my sagging cheeks noticeably tightened and decreased in volume, my face became thinner. The already well-defined nasolabial fold is gone, the double chin is gone. Thanks girlfriend! I decided to repeat the massage periodically and recommend everyone to try it.”
- Tatyana: “Girls, this is magic! During the sessions I relaxed completely, even dozed off. The result was impressive, 10 years old - minus, just a youthful oval of the face! Not only did my face look younger, but so did I myself. I’m in a good mood, I’ve become more confident in my attractiveness. Be sure to look for a specialist in your city!
- Natalya: “ I completed five sessions of buccal massage. It was recommended to me by my cosmetologist. She was at a training where they taught him. Thanks to the French woman who came up with this method! This is simply a revolution in cosmetology! Now I know how to avoid injections, lifts and other surgeries. A good specialist who knows this massage and at 50 years old you can look 30! I’m shocked: my cheeks have sunk in, my cheekbones have been drawn out, my second chin has disappeared, my nasolabial folds are barely noticeable. I thank the master and recommend him to everyone!”

Lymphatic drainage French massage from Pascal Coche
If you find a promotional video for this French facial massage, you will probably be surprised and inspired. For clarity, the author performs manipulations with only one half of the face, so that later the difference in results becomes visible. The procedure is based on lymphatic drainage, when excess fluid is actively removed from the tissues, and along with it all kinds of harmful substances.
Indications
- swelling;
- unhealthy (jaundiced, bluish) complexion;
- ptosis;
- wrinkles;
- bags and dark circles under the eyes;
- shaved;
- oval face that has lost its clear contours.
Execution technique
- No products, no creams, no oils are applied to the face.
- This is a point technique, so you must first study the location of these points on the anatomical map of the face.
- All manipulations are related to breathing.
- French lymphatic drainage massage is recommended to start with 3 very deep inhalations and exhalations.
- After this, you can use gentle, but still pressing movements to influence specific points near the lips, temples, nose, and collarbones.
- The unusual thing about this French technique is that after the basic manipulations, you need to inhale, raise your arms high and stretch, and exhale, lower them and relax as much as possible.
- In conclusion, you need to gently but persistently pull certain strands of hair, which activate blood circulation in the right places.
Each of the French techniques deserves your close attention. But they all require certain skills and anatomical knowledge. Therefore, to master their techniques, it is highly recommended to enroll in special training courses. And don't forget about contraindications.
Main contraindications
If certain factors are present, massage is prohibited. To avoid harming yourself, pay attention to what these cases are:
- Infectious diseases;
- Sensitive skin;
- Allergic rash on the face;
- Irritation of the epidermis;
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding period;
- Large moles, warts on the treated area;
- Damage to the integrity of the skin: wounds, scratches, hematomas;
- Chronic herpes virus;
- Dermatitis or psoriasis;
- Tumors of a malignant nature.
If there are hormonal problems (especially with thyroid diseases), you need to consult an endocrinologist to see if the procedure can be performed in your case.
Side effects
Structural buccal facial massage can be performed at home; in this case, side effects may occur. With proper exposure, all unpleasant sensations disappear after a few hours. The appearance of prolonged discomfort and nagging pain in the muscles indicates careless or sudden actions, as well as strong pressure. The most common complications are: damage to soft tissues, loss of correct facial shape.
Remember - the benefits of improper exposure are minimal. Make sure the instructor is experienced before starting the course.
Soft tissues are damaged due to excessive pressure on the oral cavity or strong stretching. Minor bruising, bruising, or temporary weakening of muscles may occur. Minor cracks are likely to occur on the surface of the lips and in the corners.
Action:
Buccal massage is performed by a cosmetologist.
The effect occurs primarily on the muscles in the cheek area, since it is their tone that has the greatest impact on the contour of the face. Before the procedure, the specialist puts on sterile rubber gloves. Through your mouth, your index fingers are carefully inserted behind your cheeks, and then your thumbs. After this, you are asked to clench your teeth and relax while the specialist begins to work the cheek muscles from the inside with gentle movements. During the procedure, massage of the cheek area is performed not only from the inside, but also from the outside. The sensations from the first procedure may be unusual, but you will not experience serious discomfort or severe pain.
To achieve maximum effect, the massage process uses cosmetics developed by the author of this technique, Joël Siocco. They contain a perfectly selected combination of herbal ingredients.
Expected results
The result will be noticeable after just a few sessions, when the swelling goes down and the pain disappears. With the right approach and regular implementation, the presented technique can replace other methods of facial restoration. You don't have to think about injections or other tightening methods.
The effect of therapy at the cellular level promotes active cell division, and therefore the renewal of the structure of the epidermis.
The full course is guaranteed to strengthen the facial muscles and restore natural elasticity.
Preparation for the procedure
To quickly achieve the desired result, you need to prepare for the massage:
- Limit food intake for several hours;
- On the day of the session, drink only purified water;
- Remove makeup and cleanse skin;
- Relax your facial muscles;
- First stop drinking alcohol and smoking.
Positive effect
The procedure allows you to achieve the following positive effects:
- manages to raise the corners of the lips;
- getting rid of wrinkles;
- the skin is smoothed, natural elasticity returns;
- the cheek muscles are tightened;
- complexion becomes more natural;
- a clear oval with natural contours appears.
In any case, it is recommended to visit a specialist before performing a massage. Only an experienced doctor will be able to tell whether it is safe for you to undergo the procedure or not.
Massage technique
For patients who are encountering the presented technique for the first time, some of the massage therapist’s actions may seem surprising, namely:
- The procedure affects at a deep level, which contributes to the appearance of unpleasant sensations. This is normal, so you should be patient.
- The actions are performed from inside the mouth, so it is not advisable to do them yourself. With the right approach, the method uses all the muscles that are inaccessible with the classic version.
- Complete sterility of the procedure is guaranteed by the use of disposable gloves.
- The first session time is no more than 15 minutes.
- The master performs all actions with his eyes closed, which allows him to feel the patients better.
Execution schemes
Intraoral facial massage is performed according to two schemes: sculptural and deep tissue.
The first scheme involves performing movements from top to bottom. To prepare the patient, specialists first perform relaxing actions based on stroking and rubbing movements.
Actions are performed using the index and middle fingers. First, the ear area is treated, then the actions move to the lips. The massage therapist works the facial and chewing muscles, ending the procedure with light tapping with his fingertips.
Areas being processed:
- From the center of the forehead to the temples;
- From eyebrows to hairline;
- From nose to ears;
- From lips to ears;
- From the chin to the ears.
While studying the technique, you can study pictures with the indicated directions.
Classic French massage from Christelle Guinet
One of the cosmetic companies ordered Christelle Guinet a massage for the face and neck, which soon became popular throughout the world. This is a European classical technique within the cosmetology field. When performed correctly, it is a very pleasant and relaxing procedure that allows you to get a lot of pleasure in one session. Its main purpose is rejuvenation.
Indications
- wrinkles;
- crow's feet around the eyes;
- eyelid ptosis;
- age spots;
- folds;
- shaved;
- facial contour blurred over time;
- unhealthy skin color;
- a pronounced nasolabial triangle with all its mournful folds.
Execution technique
- A nourishing cream is applied to the skin (initially it was assumed that this would be a product from the same cosmetic company that ordered the massage, but now, as part of home execution, you can use any).
- In a certain sequence, starting from the forehead and ending with the neck, you need to make soft, light, smoothing movements along the massage lines.
- There is no pressing or pinching here. The purpose of massage is to provide physical and aesthetic pleasure.
- The action time is about half an hour.
At first glance, it may seem that the rejuvenating classic French massage from Christelle Guinet is very easy to perform and does not require any effort. However, as you master the technique of performing it, you will understand that everything here is not at all simple: you need to know the sequence of movements and their exact trajectory in order to achieve results.
Be careful! When deciding on a French massage, be sure to consider which technique you will use: sculptural makes facial contours more prominent, lymphatic drainage eliminates swelling, classic rejuvenates.
Author's techniques
Joëlle Ciocco has several followers who have continued to study buccal skin tightening. Each author developed his own characteristics of performing the training.
In addition to the basic technique, you need to pay attention to the methods of Yakov Gershkovich, Elena Nosovskaya, as well as the method using the tongue.
Video training, photos before and after the procedure will help you choose a technique.

- High pain;
- The first session is 15 minutes, the next one is 40 minutes;
- Additional training of the cheek muscle.
The result of the master’s manipulations is to restore the oval of the face.
Methodology of Yakov Gershkovich
Yakov Gershkovich created a methodology based on existing ones, using an integrated approach. The massage consists of two stages: sculptural and buccal phases.
The sculpture phase is performed first. The muscles are worked along massage lines using jerky movements. Kneading wrinkles using upward movements.
During the buccal phase, exposure is performed through an open mouth. The technique assumes the absence of pain. The video tutorial will tell you more about the method.
Methodology of Elena Nosovskaya
Elena Nosovskaya created an individual technique based on buccal, chiromassage, as well as oriental techniques. The impact is carried out not only on the physical, but also on the energetic level.
Muscles, bone and joint tissue are worked out, and the nervous system is also affected.
The presented method helps to disappear the drooping corners of the mouth.
Language technique
A simple technique that allows you to do the workout yourself. Noticeable results will appear with daily practice. The lessons involve the following actions:
- It is necessary to determine the problem area;
- Press your tongue against it, wait half a minute;
- Repeat movements for all areas of the mouth;
- Proceed to massage the lips, relaxing and tightening them 5 times;
- Perform light breathing exercises.
Positive reviews with photographs of “buccal massage before and after” indicate the effectiveness of the method.
Indications
- Swelling,
- Age wrinkles,
- Second (double) chin,
- Blurred facial contour
Joëlle Ciocco has studied the biochemistry of plants in detail in her cosmetology practice. She also introduced the concept of “skin ecology,” which implies a healthy balance between all structural layers of the skin, its microflora, moisture content and nutrients. That is, the skin is considered as a single complex system, the condition of which depends on a healthy balance between its components. Achieving and maintaining such a balance is the main task of anti-aging cosmetology. Therefore, according to Madame Siocco, it is so important that cosmetics do not “dictate their terms”, but are in constant “dialogue” with the skin, supporting its ecology, and not violating it.
This is how a unique brand called “Joelle Ciocco” appeared. This cosmetic line is made up of plant ingredients without synthetics, hormones, or additives of animal origin. The basis of its effectiveness is a carefully selected combination of herbal components, the combined use of which has a maximum positive effect on all layers of the skin.
J. Siocco believes that the number of skin types is equal to the number of people in the world. And the cosmetologist’s task is not to “adjust” all procedures to rough standards, but to analyze a set of key indicators of skin condition and, based on the data obtained, select an individual care program.
How long does the course last and how often to do it?
One visit to a massage therapist will not give obvious results. The full course contains at least six full sessions. Then the obtained result must be consolidated by conducting two additional sessions per month. This approach will prevent the skin from returning to its original position.
The frequency of execution depends on the patient’s well-being. On average, you need to visit a massage therapist every 10 days.

Joelle Ciocco sculpture massage
1. What is the concept of the Joelle Ciocco sculpture massage?
One of the key concepts used in French sculptural massage is “skin ecology”. Joelle Siocco has devoted several decades to professional cosmetology, during which unique methods of skin restoration have been developed. The author's techniques are based on knowledge of facial anatomy and a holistic approach. Cosmetological problems are solved not locally, but in conjunction with other organs. Before starting the procedures, the cosmetologist spends time on several aspects of the skin condition:
- Genetics: the skin’s tendency to premature aging is inherent in nature;
- Memory: we are talking about the ability to “absorb” the negative impacts of external factors and the consequences of stress;
- skin condition today: objective assessment taking into account age, lifestyle and other factors.
2. How is sculptural massage performed?
During a sculptural massage, facial muscles, lymphatic and blood vessels are deeply worked out. The procedure includes pressure of varying strength, the intensity of which is determined depending on the anatomical features of the face and age-related changes. One session lasts 30-45 minutes. The recommended number of procedures is from 10 to 12. Then it is enough to maintain the effect with one session per month.
The massage consists of several stages. First, the specialist works on the cervical-collar area and the area under the lower jaw - this is necessary for lymphatic drainage and muscle relaxation. Intensive effects on the facial skin are preceded by light plastic movements. After this, an active massage begins, including kneading, gripping, “squeezing” movements, and pressing on certain points. The pressure per 1 cm of skin can reach 5 kilograms! After the procedures, the muscles ache pleasantly - the sensation is comparable to fatigue after intense training.
When performing a massage, only the hands of the cosmetologist are involved. No hormonal or chemical agents are used.
3. What problems does Joelle Ciocco sculptural massage solve?
The revolutionary technique copes well with many cosmetological problems. Among them:
- the presence of deep wrinkles,
- decrease in skin firmness and elasticity,
- appearance of a double chin,
- tendency to edema,
- sagging skin,
- deterioration of complexion,
- drooping eyebrows,
- bags under the eyes,
- drooping corners of the mouth.
4. How does Joëlle Siocco’s sculptural massage differ from other procedures?
Sculptural massage has little in common with classical techniques, and the main difference is the complexity of procedures that have an osteopathic, draining, harmonizing effect. Teaching sculptural massage is a complex science. Cosmetologists who have learned its basics under the guidance of Madame Siocco work wonders comparable to the effect of plastic surgery and “beauty injections.”
Le Colon is one of the most popular salons in Moscow, where sculptural facial massage is carried out by such specialists. The main advantage of the procedures is absolute naturalness, without “tight” skin, a long rehabilitation period and undesirable consequences. After the sessions, the muscles ache pleasantly - and these sensations decrease towards the end of the course. It’s not for nothing that this massage is compared to facial fitness!
5. What results should I expect?
Sculptural deep tissue facial massage is aimed at working with fascia, facial muscles and all layers of the skin. It is rightly called magical: by increasing muscle tone, signs of aging are reduced, and the face is renewed. Already after the first session the effect is noticeable:
- microcirculation is normalized,
- tissue nutrition improves,
- toxins are actively eliminated,
- metabolic processes are activated,
- nasolabial folds are “erased”,
- the corners of the eyes and lips rise,
- the double chin “goes away”,
- vitality increases,
- a persistent lifting effect is noted.
6. At what age can Joelle Ciocco sculpture massage be performed?
Experts recommend resorting to sculptural massage from the age of 25. Regular procedures are an excellent preventative measure that “postpones” aging indefinitely. The “sculptor” of the face seems to record the contours of the face, and gradually the muscles “remember” their state and get used to it. Older women have a chance to turn back time - without a scalpel and expensive injections.
7. Are there any contraindications for sculptural massage?
Unlike other types of massage, the revolutionary technique of Joelle Siocco has a number of contraindications. These include:
- pregnancy and lactation period,
- skin diseases,
- open wounds,
- implants in the neck and face (except dental implants),
- epilepsy,
- oncology,
- acute infectious diseases.
If you have thyroid disease, a preliminary consultation with your doctor is recommended.
Based on this, a decision is made on the appropriateness of the procedures. Sculptural massage at home is impossible. To carry it out, special training is required. Unprofessional physical impact on facial muscles.
Reviews and photos before and after massage
Reviews from otzovik.com:
“..After the first session I had swelling and slight discomfort. All this lasted an hour and a half, then it passed.

The massage is aimed at correcting contours, lifting, activating blood circulation, overall slimming of the face and moisturizing the skin...” Lisa.
