NYC Face Massage FAQs

Arrive a few minutes early to check in at our New York holistic bodywork studio and let us know if you have any particular goals, needs, or concerns for your one-on-one session. Please wear a loose-fitting top (no tight sports bras) so we can massage deep into the upper back and shoulder area. We have changing areas if needed. It’s best if you arrive bare-faced, but if you forget, we have makeup wipes. We start all sessions on the dot, so factor in some prep time to make the most of your appointment. After you’re seated comfortably, we’ll get started using powerful facial techniques designed to sculpt, de-stress, and relax. It’s perfectly fine—and extra relaxing—to pair Face* before or after a Stretch*d session. Each session is tailored to support lymph flow and boost beauty and overall wellness.

Face*ssage can help reduce tension headaches, soothe jaw tension, reduce stress, and promote skin cell regeneration for radiant skin. Each session supports the lymphatic system, improves lymph flow, and targets key areas of facial tissue for deep, gentle relief. Through a stimulating lymphatic drainage massage, it reduces puffiness while sculpting, toning, and contouring the face without the downtime. This process also improves circulation and hydration. Our certified massage therapists in New York are trained in lymphatic massage techniques that are both effective and deeply healing for that youthful glow.

As the name suggests, Face*ssage is a face massage. As opposed to a facial, Facessage doesn’t have anything to do with cleaning, extractions, or exfoliation. It’s a completely non-invasive massage that also targets the neck, shoulders, and upper back. We use massage techniques to soothe your acupressure points, reducing facial and/or jaw tension. It’s a rejuvenating massage that engages facial muscles to promote circulation, support facial circulation, and enhance facial contours for a refreshed, sculpted look. Incorporating enhancements like massage oils, LED light, and relaxing creams doesn’t make it a facial, but rather an elevated facial massage experience.

Buccal massage is a specialized deep tissue technique designed to release tension in the jaw, promote circulation, and enhance overall facial relaxation. Traditionally, this method involves working both the inside and outside of the cheeks to release muscle tightness. At Stretchd, our Face sessions focus on external facial manipulation—using expert techniques to lift, tone, and give a sense of relaxation in the face and jaw without the need for intraoral work. This means you still get all the benefits of a deep tension release, minus any fingers in the mouth. Experience the Stretch*d way of facial recovery: expert, effective, and always on your comfort level.

TMJ is a common jaw-tension issue that can cause jaw tightness, teeth grinding, stiffness, fine lines, and other facial discomfort. Our NYC TMJ massage therapists can help ease muscle tightness in these areas by reducing tightness, promoting lymphatic drainage, and providing tension relief. Face* sessions also incorporate a neck and shoulder massage, which helps ease tension through the neck, shoulders, and jaw.

We know how New York can be. Between delayed subways, flaky Ubers, and taxi traffic, we recommend leaving early to ensure you have enough travel time. Unfortunately, if you are late, we cannot make up for lost time. Please arrive with enough time to get settled so we can stretch you for as long as possible. Before and after your session, you can also make use of our Flex area. After 15 minutes, your time slot will be made available for booking by other clients. Sessions rescheduled more than 24 hours in advance will be credited to your account for future use (we do not offer refunds). Sessions rescheduled within 24 hours will be forfeited. Missed sessions will be forfeited. Cancellations can be made online, by phone, or by email.
