Helpful Answers
Facial massage FAQs
What is the difference between facial massage and a traditional facial?
Facial massage is massage therapy focused on muscles and soft tissues of the face, jaw, scalp and related areas. A traditional facial is generally a skincare service involving products or esthetic procedures. Our facial massage services do not include esthetic procedures.
What types of facial massage do you offer?
We offer lymphatic facial massage, the 30 Muscle Facial Massage, buccal massage, myofascial facial massage and customized Fusion Facial Massage. Our office can help match your goals and comfort with a therapist trained in the appropriate techniques.
Can facial massage help with TMJ or jaw pain?
Massage may help ease muscular tension associated with clenching and jaw discomfort. Buccal massage works carefully with muscles inside and outside the cheeks. It does not diagnose or treat dental disease or structural joint problems; persistent pain or jaw locking should be evaluated appropriately.
What goals can facial massage support?
Clients commonly choose facial massage for relaxation, muscular tension, jaw or scalp comfort, temporary puffiness and a refreshed appearance. It is not a substitute for medical, dental, dermatologic or mental-health treatment.
What are the benefits of lymphatic facial massage?
Gentle lymphatic techniques may encourage normal lymphatic movement and help the face feel less puffy or congested. Results vary, and persistent, sudden or unexplained swelling requires medical evaluation.
How do I schedule facial massage?
Request a 30-minute ($80) or 60-minute ($140) Facial Massage online with Jolie or Jody, or call or text 631-462-4263 for help. Our office reviews your request and contacts you to confirm; submitting a request does not confirm an appointment. You may also request the 15-minute Glow Finish add-on or buccal work within a 30- or 60-minute facial online with Jody or Jolie. Mention your preference in your request; our office confirms availability. Spa and couples experiences are arranged by call or text. Contact us before requesting an appointment if any of the concerns listed under Help Us Plan Your Session apply.
How much does facial massage cost?
Facial Massage is $80 for 30 minutes and $140 for 60 minutes. The Glow Finish is a $35, 15-minute add-on to an eligible massage, and the You Make Me Sparkle Spa Experience is $165 for 75 minutes.
Is facial massage a skincare facial?
No. Facial massage is massage therapy for the muscles and soft tissues of the face, jaw, scalp and neck. It does not include cleansing, steaming, extractions, products or other esthetic procedures.
Your Face Holds Tension, Too
Feel lighter, looser and refreshed
Facial massage can encourage deep relaxation, ease tension through the face, jaw, scalp and neck, temporarily reduce puffiness and leave you looking—and feeling—more refreshed.
