Welcome to Episode 31 - Buccal massage: the Alternative to Invasive Beauty - an interview with massage therapist and buccal massage specialist, Magalie Bodin.

You may have started seeing buccal massage on Instagram or TikTok - you know, the one where the therapist has their gloved hands literally INSIDE the client’s face!

Buccal massage has a reputation for being THE alternative to invasive beauty procedures, such as botox and fillers, and for good reason: it actually works! Not only to define your facial features, reduce puffiness and refine skin texture, but also to create a more relaxed face overall by it’s attention to the underlying stress and tension in the facial muscles, tendons and fascia. And, it even helps release trauma that might be stores in the facial fascia.
