Korugi + Buccal:
Two Approaches, One Advanced Training
KORUGI SCULPT combines structured external facial sculpting with advanced Buccal / Transbuccal techniques to give practitioners a more comprehensive approach to facial work.
Korugi techniques focus on external work with the facial tissues, fascia, muscles and contours of the face, while Buccal / Transbuccal techniques introduce professional intraoral work that allows practitioners to approach the cheeks, jaw and perioral tissues from inside the mouth.
Together, these techniques help practitioners develop a deeper understanding of facial anatomy, tissue mobility, muscular tension and professional facial sculpting.
During this training, you’ll explore:
- External Korugi facial sculpting techniques
- Buccal / Transbuccal intraoral techniques
- Facial and jaw muscle work
- Fascia and soft-tissue techniques
- Facial contouring and lifting approaches
- Integration of external and intraoral techniques
- Anatomy-informed hands-on practice

Korugi + Buccal Client Benefits
Combining external Korugi techniques with Buccal / Transbuccal work allows practitioners to address facial sculpting, tissue m
Visible facial lifting & sculpting
External Korugi techniques work with facial muscles and fascia to support visible lifting and more sculpted-looking contours.
Defined jawline & facial contours
Facial sculpting techniques can support the appearance of a more defined jawline and refined facial contours.
Jaw & masseter tension
External and intraoral techniques let practitioners work with the masseter and surrounding soft tissues in the TMJ region often associated with jaw tension and clenching.
Perioral tension & downward pull
Buccal / Transbuccal work provides access to the tissues around the mouth and cheek, useful when working with muscular tension linked to downward-pulling patterns near the corners of the mouth.
Release of facial tension
Controlled external and intraoral work with the facial muscles and fascia helps release areas of held tension.
Healthy circulation & tissue mobility
Gentle techniques help support local circulation, tissue mobility and an overall refreshed appearance.
Korugi Facial
Transformation
Korugi massage works deeply on facial muscles, fascia, and connective tissue to naturally sculpt the face. Even after a single treatment, clients often notice visible lifting, improved facial definition, and a refreshed, more balanced appearance.
- Lifted cheeks & improved mid-face contour
- Slimmer jawline & V-shape definition
- Reduced puffiness & brighter eye area
- Improved facial symmetry

What Students Say About Korugi Training
Korugi was completely new to me, but the results were incredible. I learned how to sculpt the jawline and lift the mid-face in a way that clients notice immediately.

This technique adds something unique to my treatment menu. My clients love the slimming and lifting effect, especially around the cheeks and jaw.
Alicja D.

Founder, Holistic Face Lift Academy
Magdalena Domańska is a Licensed Esthetician, facial massage educator, and founder of Holistic Face Lift Academy.
She has been teaching professional facial massage since 2021, helping estheticians and massage therapists develop confident, anatomy-informed hands-on skills in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques.
Her education combines multiple approaches to facial work, including Japanese facial massage, Korugi, Buccal / Transbuccal techniques, facial sculpting, and other manual methods.
Rather than teaching techniques as isolated routines, Magdalena emphasizes understanding facial anatomy, tissue response, proper hand placement, pressure, and how different techniques can be thoughtfully combined in professional practice.
Her trainings are intentionally small and hands-on, allowing students to receive individual correction, practice extensively, and leave with techniques they can confidently integrate into their own treatment rooms.
