Facial Massage for Jaw Tension, Puffiness & Stress
Choose focused Facial Gua Sha when the jaw and temples feel tight, or gentle Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage when the face feels puffy, heavy and ready to relax.
How booking works: Compare the two facial massage styles, choose 60, 90 or 120 minutes, then open the exact Avy Spa appointment option.
Which Feeling Is Closest to Yours?
These are everyday wellness concerns, not diagnoses. Choose the closest match and your therapist will confirm the focus and comfortable pressure before the massage begins.
Tired, Sore or Clenched
A tight expression or tired feeling along the jawline after concentration, screen time or a stressful day.
Facial focus: cheeks, jawline, temples and selected neck areas.
Best match: Facial Gua Sha Massage for a smooth, more focused glide.
Tense, Heavy or Overworked
The forehead, temples, scalp, neck and shoulders may all feel ready to settle after a long day.
Connected focus: face, temples, scalp, neck and shoulders.
Recommended: 90 minutes so connected areas can be included without rushing.
Heavy or Tired-Looking
Very gentle rhythmic touch creates a calm facial experience when the face feels puffy or heavy.
Facial focus: face, jawline and neck with very light pressure.
Best match: Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage for a lighter, calmer facial feel.
Needs Care and Quiet
Massage-based facial care supports comfortable glide and leaves the skin feeling soft, cared for and refreshed.
Choose by feel: gentle lymphatic rhythm or a more focused gua sha glide.
Recommended: one quiet hour or 90 minutes for a slower, more complete experience.
Choose One Service, Then Choose Your Time
Each service has its own image, introduction, prices and direct appointment buttons. Ninety minutes is recommended for a more unhurried facial massage.
