Experience a transformative facial and revolutionary intra-oral massage to relieve jaw tension and pain near the ear and revitalise your skin.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (otherwise known as TMJ disorder, categorised by pain near the ear) affects millions of people, causing pain, discomfort, and tension in the jaw, face, and neck. Whether due to stress, teeth grinding, or misalignment, TMJ pain can significantly impact your daily life, leading to headaches, difficulty chewing, and even sleep disturbances.
While there are many treatments out there, an innovative approach that’s gaining attention is the use of specialised facial massage techniques—particularly those included in our new Vanessa Meagan Buccal Sculpt & Lift facial treatment right here in Newcastle.
In this blog post, we dive into the causes and symptoms of TMJ pain and how our two new exclusive treatments, the Buccal Sculpting Massage and Buccal Sculpt & Lift facial, can offer relief by targeting the deeper layers of facial tissue and releasing tension in the jaw.
Understanding TMJ: Causes and Symptoms
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and functions like a sliding hinge, allowing you to open and close your mouth. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become irritated or inflamed, it can result in TMJ disorder. Common causes include:
- Stress: High levels of stress can lead to jaw clenching or teeth grinding, both of which put excess pressure on the TMJ.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Often occurring during sleep, grinding your teeth can wear down the TMJ, leading to pain and discomfort.
- Jaw Misalignment: Structural issues with the jaw or teeth can affect how the TMJ functions, resulting in strain and tension.
- Injury: Trauma to the jaw, head, or neck can also contribute to TMJ disorder.
Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
- Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw
- Headaches or migraines
- Earaches or ringing in the ears
- Neck and shoulder pain
How the Buccal Sculpt & Lift Facial Can Help Relieve TMJ Pain
Can TMJ be self-treated? At Indulgences Beauty Newcastle, the Buccal Sculpt & Lift facial offers more than just glow-inducing benefits of the skin—it can also provide significant relief for TMJ pain. The key to this treatment’s effectiveness lies in the revolutionary massage technique by Vanessa Megan, which includes a unique intra-oral massage. This innovative approach targets the muscles and fascia from both inside and outside the mouth, offering a comprehensive solution for tension relief.
The Benefits of Intra Oral Massage for TMJ Relief
- Deep Muscle Release: The intra-oral massage technique involves gently massaging the muscles inside the mouth, reaching areas that are often difficult to target externally. This allows for the release of deep-seated tension in the jaw muscles, which can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with TMJ.
- Fascia Stimulation: Fascia is a network of connective tissue fibres beneath the skin that can become tight and restricted, especially in those suffering from TMJ disorder. The massage works on the fascia, helping to release blockages and improve flexibility, which in turn reduces muscle tension and improves overall jaw function.
- Improved Blood Flow: By stimulating the facial muscles and fascia, the buccal facial and massage promotes better blood circulation, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected areas.
- Holistic Stress Relief: Stress is a major contributor to TMJ pain. These treatments not only address the physical symptoms but also provide a deeply relaxing experience, helping to reduce overall stress levels and prevent further jaw clenching or teeth grinding.
- Enhanced Jaw Mobility: Many clients report improved jaw mobility and a reduction in the tightness and discomfort they previously experienced after undergoing the Buccal Sculpt & Lift facial.
What to Expect from the Treatment
The Buccal Sculpt & Lift facial is a two-hour treatment starting with a relaxing foot soak and neck stretch. Your therapist will unlock the anti-aging process by first, increasing cellular energy and stimulating skin cell turnover with the delivery of powerful clinical grade actives, peptides and amino acids, followed by the release of any deep-seated tension within the connective tissue using this next-generation intra-oral massage technique to sculpt, lift and firm your face, neck, jowls, and brows.
How it works
Under the surface of the skin, lies the fascia, a thin connective tissue that surrounds and holds our vital organs, blood vessels, bones, nerve fibres and muscles in place. If this fascia is restricted, it will hold deeper facial wrinkles “in place” until released.
This next-generation facial massage has been developed to help release that fascia, promote circulation for lymph and blood flow and treat the damage caused by repetitive facial movements, surgery, scars, and other facial procedures. The intra-oral or Buccal massage is designed to stimulate the fibroblast in the skin which, in turn, stimulates collagen and increases elasticity.
As circulation and detoxification happen, the fascia slowly releases and you will see a marked improvement in fine and deep lines, and collagen synthesis, which leads to increased plumpness, and overall tone to the skin. We deliver this treatment with ceramide and bakuchiol-rich ingredients to support the fascia and add an extra boost to skin hydration and collagen synthesis.
For Best Results
Offering a full-spectrum approach to TMJ relief, while a single session can offer noticeable benefits, the best results are typically achieved through a series of treatments over six weeks.
This allows for cumulative effects, with each session building on the previous one to enhance jaw mobility, reduce tension, and lift and sculpt the facial contours.
While the pain experienced from TMJ disorder pain can be a debilitating condition, we’re excited to now offer these two revolutionary treatments to help offer relief, leaving you feeling more relaxed, revitalised, and pain-free.
