Meet Shannon Lewis – An integrated facialist and expert in the Buccal Facial at Sha Skin & Body. She’s the first to bring this revolutionary treatment to Adelaide, which promises to brighten, tighten and sculpt.

YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN THE BUCCAL FACIAL. CAN YOU SHARE MORE ABOUT THIS UNIQUE FACIAL TREATMENT?

I am an integrated facialist who specialises in the Buccal Facial with 30 years of experience in the industry. In 2019, I was named Beauty Therapist of the Year and I’ve served as an esteemed Skin Training Facilitator across multiple clinics.

With the Buccal Facial, I’ve trained under one of the country’s top facial educators, which has given me a unique expertise in this technique that few practitioners have nationwide. The real Buccal Facial experience can’t be rushed—it takes at least 90 minutes to deliver the benefits. Places might offer a buccal massage at the end of a standard facial as a quick add-on. However, skipping the full technique means you won’t get the results you’re looking for.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE BUCCAL FACIAL IS?

The Buccal Facial has made headlines globally for its remarkable results. It’s designed for anyone seeking a natural lift and sculpt of the face without cosmetic injectables, lasers or heat.

Additionally, the Buccal Facial enhances skin health by promoting circulation and eliminating fibrosis. It is a wonderful approach for skin rejuvenation.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The treatment dives into the deeper structures of the face using a gentle intra-oral massage technique. This method stimulates the muscles and ligaments between the cheeks and jowls, naturally tightening and contouring those areas. During the session, we focus on your face, neck and décolletage, incorporating gua sha, lymphatic drainage and myofascial stretching to help create a lifted look. Each session targets up to 17 major facial muscles, releasing tension and stress. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated— no needles or side effects involved!

HOW DOES THE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE ELEVATE YOUR OVERALL HEALTH?

Lymphatic drainage helps to eliminate toxins from the body, drain unwanted fluid and reduce facial puffiness. It’s an imperative step in my Buccal Facial. It also allows better access to the underlying soft tissues, which can significantly impact the final results.

WHAT ARE OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS OF THE BUCCAL FACIAL?

The treatment can provide an emotional release by relaxing the masseter (jaw muscle), where most of us clench and store emotions due to stress and anxiety. As a result, clients leave feeling tension free and relaxed.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO YOU NEED TO NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE?

The results of the Buccal Facial are truly transformative, offering a natural lift and enhanced facial contouring. Clients often notice reduced puffiness, smoother skin texture and a more defined jawline. Depending on individual skin types and care, these results can last anywhere from two weeks to several months.

You’ll notice a significant improvement after your first treatment. However, the effects become more pronounced after the third or fourth consecutive session. Following this, monthly maintenance sessions help sustain the benefits.
