Holistic Facial Recovery Through Tailored Techniques
Face Massage in Upper East Side, NYC
At Stretch*d, we promote recovery from head to toe—literally. Enter Face*ssage, a restorative and rejuvenating facial massage brought to the Upper East Side by our bodywork experts.
Face*ssage uses deep tissue techniques to massage your acupressure points, which promotes a range of benefits inside and out. Massage therapy helps alleviate symptoms associated with tension headaches, teeth grinding, and TMJ, relieving pressure and releasing tightness. Many of our clients love Face*ssage for the lasting pain relief from regular sessions. We also target TMJ by massaging the neck, shoulders, and upper back, working out a large band of muscles in those areas that are connected to jaw tightness and pressure.
The non-invasive yet powerful Face*ssage techniques also stimulate lymphatic drainage, a proven way to reduce puffiness and promote a more sculpted and contoured complexion. Improved lymphatic drainage supports skin cell regeneration for smoother and more radiant skin.
Have we mentioned that a facial massage is luxuriously relaxing? Face*ssage can decrease stress-induced muscle contractions in the face by 30-50%, both offering relief and nurturing your mental well-being. Massage therapy also lowers cortisol levels, aka the stress hormone, helping you relax and melt your worries away.
At Stretch*d Upper East Side, we offer a variety of enhancements to elevate your Face*ssage. Choose from different hydrating facial oils to achieve a more dewy look, with options for acne-prone and sensitive skin. We also offer an optional magnesium cream to soothe the muscles during the neck and shoulder massage. Gua sha, an ancient tool you may already incorporate into your skincare routine, can be used during Face*ssage to improve sculpting and tension relief. Lastly, the Celluma Red Light Therapy Add-on is a 20-minute optional service that uses an anti-aging LED red light mask to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production.

ASSISTED STRETCHING IN FLATIRON + CHELSEA FAQS:
Before every session, our expert staff will assess your goals and needs to create a custom massage and stretching experience. During Face*ssage, we’ll massage acupressure points on the face, as well as muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back to release facial tension and promote lightness. At the same time, lymphatic drainage will tone, lift, and reduce puffiness. You’ll leave feeling sculpted and utterly relaxed. There’s no downtime or recovery period, so you can come as often as you like—we recommend at least once a month to see consistent results.
A TMJ massage is a specialized technique designed to relieve tension and discomfort in the jaw muscles, particularly those affected by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. This massage focuses on releasing tightness in the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles to improve mobility and reduce pain caused by clenching or grinding.
A buccal face massage is a unique intraoral technique where a therapist gently massages the inner and outer facial muscles, targeting tension along the jawline, cheeks, and mouth. By working inside the mouth with gloved hands, this method helps release deep-seated muscle tightness, sculpt facial contours, and improve circulation for a lifted, rejuvenated appearance.

Your facial therapist will focus on sculpting facial contours, reducing jaw tension, and promoting overall rejuvenation for a treatment designed just for you.
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 12 hours in advance will be credited to your account for future use (we do not offer refunds). Sessions rescheduled within 12 hours will be forfeited. Missed sessions will be forfeited. Cancellations can be made online, by phone, or by email.
