Massage Therapy—Not a Traditional Facial
Traditional Skincare Facial
Generally provided by an esthetician and focused primarily on the skin through cleansing, exfoliation, masks, steaming, products or extractions.
Our facial massage services do not include esthetic procedures.
Five Ways to Experience the Work
Choose the Feeling, Focus or Technique
These are distinct options—not steps in a sequence. Your therapist adjusts pressure, positioning and technique around your comfort and goals.
Let It Flow Lymphatic Facial Massage
Gentle, rhythmic work across the face and neck supports normal lymphatic movement when the face feels temporarily puffy or congested.

External facial work and optional intraoral massage focus on muscles associated with chewing, clenching and jaw movement. Gloved hands and informed consent are required.

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?
Please call Hands On HealthCare at 631-462-4263. Because selected therapists provide specific facial-massage techniques, our office will help match you with the appropriate therapist and appointment.
Your Face Holds Tension, Too
