Lymphatic Drainage & Detoxification (For Body and Face). Sculptural Lifting Massage triggers metabolic processes in the skin and tissues of the face which works to remove toxins from the body, not just the face.

A Therapeutic Procedure that Alleviates Chronic Diseases. Creating a therapeutic effect in the presence of the client's pathology of facial muscles and facial nerves. It helps to reduce the course of chronic diseases such as rhinitis and sinusitis.

Improved Skin Quality /Smooth, Supple and Wrinkle-Free Skin. Thanks to an increase in muscle tone, the facial skin becomes smooth and supple, wrinkles and age-related changes go away. The removal of toxins helps to cleanse the skin, getting rid of dermatological problems.

Already, we've seen incredible results with the release of tension in the masseter muscles - especially for our chronic grinder clients. We've now incorporated it into our 3, 6, and 12-month skin journeys due to its growing popularity.

Your journey begins in an inspiring environment where you’ll connect with like-minded professionals. On this first day, you'll learn essential facial massage techniques with direct access to Isabella.


You’ll explore the fundamentals of sculptural lifting, focusing on buccal massage and how to incorporate it into a transformative facial experience.


By the end of the day, you'll have an understanding of how to combine techniques for powerful results.

Sneak A Peak Behind The Scenes Of The Intrinsic Intensive™

See The Intrinsic Intensive Experience For Yourself

I Have A Question!

This training is led by Isabella Loneragan — a leading skin expert with over a decade of experience in clinical practice and skin education. Known for her trademarked techniques and results-driven approach, Isabella was the first to introduce Buccal Massage to Australia and continues to pioneer advanced skin therapies that combine science, technique and intuition. With a strong commitment to integrity, clinical excellence and long-term skin health, she’s passionate about raising industry standards and equipping professionals with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to truly transform their clients’ skin — and their business.

Who is the Intrinsic Intensive for?

This course is ideal for qualified skin, beauty, or massage professionals looking to deepen their facial technique and offer transformational results using hands-on methods

Do I need experience with facial massage to enrol?

This course is suitable for both emerging and experienced practitioners, however we ask emerging practitioners to complete our Awaken The Eyes course as a prerequisite.

I would love to do this course but I don't want to travel. Can I do this course online?

The buccal component of this course is very touch/feel based and is not a training we offer online. Experiencing the direct coaching from Isabella in-person will provide you with far greater results. We have students which have travelled from North America, Europe and Asia for our training and left thankful for the investment. We encourage you to do so also, especially if this course gets you a step closer to your Master certification!

Is there ongoing support after the course?

Absolutely. You’ll gain 90-day access to practice videos, a supportive alumni group, and join our Skinformé Community for deeper mentorship and collaboration.

What makes this course different from others?

The Intrinsic Intensive is energetically rich and technically advanced, focusing on muscle, fascia, and nervous system work. You’ll walk away with tools to transform not just skin, but your entire treatment philosophy. Our courses are intimate in size, no more than 14, so you get direct input from Isabella herself through the 3 day intensive.

I have just completed Isabella Loneragan's Intrinsic Intensive training course.
Isabella's passion & knowledge is outstanding. Everyone is made to feel comfortable, with her warm friendly approach in a small environment along with great guidance & feedback.
" Tissues Carry Issues" The benefits of this facial massage are outstanding. Working on the lymphatic system detoxification,
releasing tension, rejuvenation & improving general skin health & wellbeing are just a few of the amazing advantages.
I highly recommend this course if you are wanting to up-skill & grow your business. You are in the best hands with Isabella Loneragan.
It is a expensive course but an investment in your career. However I did think the video for post course practice should be included in the price.

I had the absolute pleasure of completing Isabella Loneragan's Intrinsic Facial course, and I can honestly say it was one of the most transformative training experiences I've had. Isabella's depth of knowledge, passion, and attention to detail is truly inspiring. The way she teaches the art of buccal massage and facial sculpting is both thorough and intuitive, allowing you to not only learn techniques but to truly feel and understand the purpose behind every movement.

The course was beautifully structured, combining theory, demonstration, and plenty of hands-on practice, all in a supportive and encouraging environment. Isabella's ability to share her expertise while making you feel confident in your own abilities is a rare gift.

If you are looking to elevate your skills and offer your clients a truly unique, results-driven, and holistic facial experience, I can't recommend this course highly enough. Thank you, Isabella, for sharing your incredible knowledge and for igniting even more passion in my work!

Sara H

Wow! As a massage therapist I really wanted to increase my knowledge and practice in lymphatic and buccal face massage. When I came across Isabella and her intrinsic intensive course I knew I needed to enrol myself in.
I didn't know what to expect but I knew I would be taught by someone with a lot of experience and knowledge.
Starting the course I knew straight away that Isabella invests so much time and energy into her group - she genuinely wants to see every women enrolled succeed and launch themselves in this treatment! She is truly a reflection of what it means to build women up in the industry!

I can't wait to take everything I've learnt to my studio and offer every women that walks through this transformative treatment!

Thank you Isabella

K
Kerrie Metcalfe

The training for the intrinsic intensive treatment is an intensive 4 days but totally worth the money, Isabella is only too happy to assist you in perfecting her technique and also networking with other like minded therapists that you can bounce ideas off each other and help to grow each other's businesses.
