Signature Lymphatic Lifting Facial
$225
I created this facial for the days you need to feel like yourself again — lighter, brighter, less puffy, and less tense. It's the treatment I often recommend to clients who tell me their face feels "heavy" or "stuck," especially after travel, poor sleep, stress, or a particularly busy week.
How it works
Your lymphatic system helps maintain normal fluid balance throughout the body. In the face, temporary fluid buildup can contribute to the appearance of puffiness, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
This facial uses gentle, rhythmic manual lymphatic drainage techniques along the face and neck. Unlike deeper facial sculpting methods, lymphatic facial massage uses very light, controlled movements designed to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid.
The goal isn't to force or dramatically manipulate the tissue. It's a gentle treatment intended to help the face look less puffy, more refreshed, and naturally more defined while giving you time to completely relax.
What happens during your session
This is a full hour, and I build the treatment in layers.
We begin with a deep cleanse and skin assessment so I can customize the session based on how your skin looks and feels that day. From there, I use gentle lymphatic facial massage techniques throughout the face and neck, paying particular attention to areas where puffiness or tension is most noticeable.
I then apply a revitalizing mask and incorporate red light therapy as part of the overall facial experience. To close the session, you'll rest on my sound bed, where sound and vibration create a calming environment and give you time to simply relax.
The entire treatment is intentionally gentle and restorative. Many of my clients tell me it's one of the most relaxing treatments they receive.
What to expect afterward
After your facial, your face may appear less puffy, refreshed, and more defined, particularly around the cheeks and jawline. Because everyone's skin and body respond differently, the degree and duration of visible changes will vary from person to person.
This is a non-invasive treatment and generally doesn't require a traditional recovery period, making it a popular option before events or whenever you want a refreshed appearance without an intensive facial treatment.
Who this is for
This facial may be a good choice if you're concerned about facial puffiness, temporary fluid retention, facial tension, or a tired-looking complexion, or if you simply want a gentle facial massage combined with a relaxing skincare experience.
It's also a great introduction if you're new to lymphatic facial massage and want to begin with something gentle before exploring more intensive treatments such as DMK Enzyme Therapy or the Advanced Buccal & Hadado Facial.
If you have an active skin infection, significant inflammation, a recent facial procedure or injections, or a medical condition that may affect whether lymphatic massage is appropriate for you, please let me know before booking so we can determine whether this treatment is suitable for you.
Advanced Buccal & Hadado Facial
$285
This is the treatment people ask me about most — and once I explain what's actually happening, I understand why. It's not a facial in the way most people think of one. This is advanced, hands-on facial massage that combines three distinct techniques I've spent years training in: Buccal, Hadado, and Kobido.
The Technique: Working From Inside and Outside the Face
What makes Buccal massage different from traditional facial massage is the intraoral component. Wearing gloves, I work both externally on the face and from inside the mouth, giving me a different way to access and massage areas around the cheeks and jaw.
I trained in Advanced Buccal Intraoral Face Lifting at the International Aesthetic Sculpture Face Lifting Massage School under Yakov Gershkovich, where I learned specialized techniques for working with facial muscles through both external and intraoral massage.
The Buccal portion of the treatment allows me to work more directly with areas such as the cheeks and jaw, including the buccinator and masseter muscles. For clients who tend to clench their jaw or carry noticeable facial tension, this deeper style of facial massage can feel very different from the lighter movements used in a traditional facial.
The Second Layer: Hadado and Kobido
Buccal massage is only one part of the treatment. I also incorporate techniques from Hadado facial sculpting and Kobido Japanese facial massage.
I trained in Hadado Face Sculpting through Academia SPA-Tomasik, learning detailed hands-on techniques that can be incorporated into facial massage and sculpting.
I studied Kobido Japanese Facial Artistry at Spa Pasaulis under Vida Jankuniene in Lithuania. Kobido adds precise, rhythmic facial massage movements that complement the deeper work of Buccal and Hadado while creating a relaxing overall experience. Learn about the 540-year history of Kobido facial massage.
Rather than performing the same sequence on every client, I combine elements of all three techniques according to what I observe during your session, the areas where you feel tension, your comfort with pressure, and your facial sculpting goals.
What Makes This Treatment Different
One of the things I value most about this treatment is the combination of specialized techniques behind it.
Buccal, Hadado, and Kobido each approach facial massage differently. My training across all three allows me to move between deeper intraoral work, focused facial sculpting, and rhythmic Japanese massage rather than relying on a single technique throughout the entire session.
That also means your treatment isn't meant to feel like a standard spa facial with a predetermined massage sequence. It's a more customized, hands-on approach to facial massage based on your individual needs and preferences.
What to Expect
This is deeper, more intentional facial massage, so you can expect firmer pressure in certain areas — particularly around the cheeks and jaw during the Buccal portion of the treatment.
Because part of the massage is performed from inside the mouth, it can feel unusual if you've never experienced Buccal massage before. I check in throughout the treatment and adjust the pressure according to your comfort.
Afterward, some clients notice that their face feels more relaxed and looks refreshed or more defined, particularly around areas that received more focused massage. Individual responses vary, and the appearance and duration of any visible changes will be different for everyone.
The treatment is non-invasive and generally does not require a traditional recovery period, although temporary redness or tenderness can occur after deeper massage.
Who This Is For
The Advanced Buccal & Hadado Facial may be a good choice if you're looking for deeper facial massage, facial sculpting, or focused work around areas where you tend to hold tension.
It may be especially appealing if you:
-
Carry tension around your jaw or cheeks
-
Prefer deeper massage rather than very light facial massage
-
Want a non-injectable approach to facial sculpting
-
Are interested in more defined-looking facial contours
-
Want to experience intraoral Buccal massage
-
Are looking for a treatment combining Buccal, Hadado, and Kobido techniques
This treatment does not work in the same way as Botox, dermal fillers, or surgical procedures and shouldn't be considered a replacement for them. It is a hands-on facial massage and sculpting treatment for clients who prefer a non-injectable approach.
If your primary concern is puffiness and you prefer lighter pressure, the Signature Lymphatic Lifting Facial may be a better starting point.
Before Your Buccal Massage
Because the Buccal component involves massage from inside the mouth, please tell me before your appointment if you have braces, dental implants, recent dental work, oral health concerns, significant jaw problems, or recent facial procedures or injections.
Depending on your circumstances, we may need to modify the treatment, postpone it, or determine that Buccal massage isn't appropriate at that time. Your comfort and safety always come first.
If you're also interested in other approaches to facial and skin treatments, you can read more about DMK Muscle Banding and the DMK Plasmatic Effect. These are different treatments with different methods, and I can help you understand which approach best fits your skincare and facial treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Massage & Sculpting
What is the difference between the Signature Lymphatic Lifting Facial and the Advanced Buccal & Hadado Facial?
The Signature Lymphatic Lifting Facial uses gentle lymphatic facial massage and focuses on de-puffing, relaxation, and a refreshed appearance. The Advanced Buccal & Hadado Facial uses deeper techniques, including intraoral Buccal massage, Hadado facial sculpting, and Kobido massage, for clients seeking more intensive facial massage, tension release, and sculpting.
Which facial massage is better for jaw and facial tension?
The Advanced Buccal & Hadado Facial uses deeper facial massage techniques, including intraoral Buccal work, with focused attention around areas such as the cheeks and jaw. If you have a dental condition or diagnosed jaw disorder, consult the appropriate healthcare professional before treatment.
Is Buccal massage painful?
Buccal massage uses intentional, firm pressure and includes massage from inside the mouth, so it can feel more intensive than traditional facial massage. Agnes checks in throughout the treatment and adjusts the pressure according to your comfort.
Is Buccal massage suitable if I have dental work, braces, or implants?
Because Buccal massage includes work from inside the mouth, tell Agnes about braces, dental implants, recent dental procedures, oral health concerns, or other relevant conditions before treatment. The treatment may need to be modified or postponed depending on your circumstances.
Will I look swollen or red after facial massage?
These treatments generally do not require a traditional recovery period. Temporary redness or tenderness can occur after deeper facial massage. Individual responses vary, and Agnes can explain what to expect before your treatment.
How many facial massage sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals, the treatment you choose, and how you respond to facial massage. Some clients book individual treatments, while others incorporate facial massage into an ongoing skincare and wellness routine. Agnes can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your individual goals.
Is facial sculpting massage a replacement for Botox or fillers?
No. Facial massage does not work in the same way as Botox or dermal fillers. Buccal, Hadado, Kobido, and lymphatic techniques are non-injectable, hands-on treatments for clients interested in facial massage, tension release, de-puffing, and natural-looking facial sculpting.
Can I combine facial sculpting treatments with DMK Enzyme Therapy?
Facial sculpting and DMK Enzyme Therapy are different types of treatments and may be incorporated into a broader skincare routine. Whether and how they should be combined depends on your skin, treatment schedule, and individual goals. Agnes can recommend appropriate timing for your treatments.
