Gua Sha Facials

Gua Sha Facial

​

The facial treatment includes a double cleanse and exfoliation, face and neck drainage massage and treatment mask with a head and shoulder massage.

The art of Gua Sha has been practiced for thousands of years as a healing technique to improve skin complexion and tone. It is an incredibly relaxing treatment that is performed using light strokes  the surface of the skin in the direction of the lymph nodes using the Gua Sha tool.

Gua Sha helps the skin to be more efficient by working on the lymphatic system to clear stagnation and cellular waste. Creating movement within the skin encourages fresh blood circulation, oxygen and nutrients. This influx of nutrients will plump the skin and promote the production of collagen and elastin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The light pressures and frictions from the Gua Sha tools work to reduce inflammation in the facial tissues and create a healing response to restore a more youthful tone and dewy glow to the skin.

Gua Sha also works to retrain and release deep tension in the muscles of the face and neck by smoothing the fascia (connective tissue) that connects the skin and muscles to the facial structures. This will create a de-puffing, lifting and sculpting effect around the contours of the face and jawline.

With regular treatments, Gua Sha will improve the overall function of the skin and help manage many skin concerns; deep lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, rosacea, acne, scarring, pigmentation, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
