In the daily schedule of every modern girl there is definitely time allocated for facial care. It is this tender and delicate area that requires special attention and care, since the face reflects the condition of the entire body. Every day, facial skin is exposed to many different aggressive environmental factors, and is also inevitably subject to the aging process.
One of the most effective procedures for maintaining facial skin tone is a professional facial massage from a cosmetologist. Today estet-portal.com talks about the features of sculptural facial massage, as well as the main effects of this procedure.
What is sculptural massage
You can start using this technique as early as 25 years of age.
A unique technique for rejuvenating and tightening facial skin was developed by the French biochemist and cosmetologist Joëlle Siocco. She combined the following techniques of the most famous and effective massages:
- Tibetan;
- Japanese point Shiatsu, as well as Asahi, Tsogan;
- lymphatic drainage;
- traditional - classical;
- Jacquet;
- osteopathic.
As a result of mixing such techniques, an innovative and revolutionary type of massage was obtained - sculptural, which consists of a thorough and maximally deep study of all muscle groups of the face, as well as an active impact on problem areas and areas of the epidermis.
In the process of massage effects, elasticity and muscle tone increase, lymphatic drainage functions of the skin are improved, blood supply, nutrition, regeneration, cellular respiration and renewal processes are enhanced.
You can start using this technique as early as 25 years of age to prevent and prevent the appearance of any age-related skin changes.
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.
What defects does it help eliminate?
Due to the high intensity of massage manipulations, non-surgical changes in the structure and tightening of tissue occur, so the technique effectively eliminates the following problems:
- loss of firmness and elasticity of the epidermis with deterioration of its color and relief;
- changes in the contours and oval of the face;
- swelling of the face and area around the eyes;
- double chin;
- deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds;
- spasms of the facial muscles;
- facial wrinkles;
- muscle tissue atrophy;
- deterioration of lymph outflow from the deep layers of the dermis;
- slowing down the neuroreceptor function of the face;
- low hydration (dry) skin.
After the procedure, most patients note soreness in the facial muscle tissues, similar to the sensations in the body after undergoing high-intensity physical activity.
The result of a well-executed sculptural massage will be smooth, young, fresh skin, in which the aging process is suspended and obvious signs of age-related changes are eliminated.
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!”

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.

Features and technique of performing sculptural massage
Before the start of the session (its duration is 30 - 40 minutes), the specialist must thoroughly clean the surface of the skin, as well as treat it with a special composition that makes it easier to grip and hold the skin, preventing slipping.
The procedure begins and ends with light patting and stroking of the facial skin to warm and relax it, that is, to prepare for the main massage effects.
This massage is carried out in a course consisting of 12 procedures, which are repeated 2 times during the year. There are 2-3 sessions per week depending on the severity of age-related changes.
The technique of performing this massage implies a high professional level of the specialist who performs it, impeccable knowledge of the anatomical structure of the facial muscles, as well as the location of nerve and vascular endings.
Initially, a sculptural massage begins with a deep study of all the muscles of the neck with the pads and phalanges of the fingers using gentle, pressing movements with a gradual increase in intensity. Next, this area is massaged with rolling movements of the fingertips with intense kneading and penetration to the maximum possible depth.
After this, they move on to massage the facial area, starting with stroking and rubbing its surface. Then more aggressive influences are performed in the form of active kneading, grasping the deep layers of the skin, pressing and rolling movements along massage lines and problem areas.
The purpose of sculptural massage is to work on the superficial epidermis, deep muscle structures and even affect bone tissue. At the same time, the amplitude, intensity and speed of massage movements remain high. The working pressure per 1 centimeter of the skin surface during such massage manipulations reaches 5 kilograms.
Correction of the oval of the face is carried out with rotational movements, not forgetting to massage the cheek areas, as well as the surface of the skin along the entire contour using pinching actions. The session continues by working on areas of accumulation of muscle tissue with pinpoint and deep effects. Gradually move to the frontal zone. By the end of the procedure, all manipulations are performed with light and stroking movements with a decrease in pressure.
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.
Is it possible to perform the technique at home?
Lack of free time and a busy work schedule most often do not allow many women to visit massage parlors, so they want to independently master this technique by watching and studying videos posted on Internet resources.
Performing this technique independently at home is possible only after completing a training course with a professional massage therapist with memorization of all techniques, movements, treatment areas and their correct repetition without causing harm to the skin in the form of uneven distribution of load, excessive compression of blood vessels, which can result in asymmetry and prolapse tissues, formation of hematomas and edema.
Take the time to visit a qualified and experienced massage therapist who has the skills and techniques to perform sculptural massage to perfection, and you will not regret it!
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.

What did I get?
In the morning, my cheeks hurt even more, it was hard for me to even smile (and it’s clearly not because it’s Monday morning). I went to the mirror and noticed how my skin tone had evened out, my face looked rested, and a blush appeared on my cheeks. To say that I was surprised is to say nothing. Even to the touch, the skin was soft and velvety; I can only compare the effect to visiting a bathhouse.
I completed a course of six sessions. The effect after each visit never ceased to please. My cheekbones began to appear after about the third session, every day I felt a lifting effect, my lower cheekbones were outlined, an aristocratic angularity appeared (and I was already thinking about filling out my chin and the corner of my cheekbones with fillers, making them sharper).
The morning after the last session, a completely different me looked at me from the mirror. In addition to the beautiful oval, my face acquired an even and beautiful color, my blush appeared and even the rashes disappeared. The latter, as the cosmetologist explained to me, became possible thanks to the rush of blood, which nourishes the skin with the necessary elements and strengthens local immunity.
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.
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.
