Pamper yourself with the ancient art of Gua Sha, this transformative facial therapy uses a combination of traditional and modern wellness. ‘Gua Sha’ means scrape in Chinese, the practice uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape and massage the skin’s surface to stimulate circulation, reduce puffiness and improve overall wellbeing.
Gua Sha Facial is a traditional Chinese beauty and wellness practice that involves using a smooth-edged tool, typically made of jade or rose quartz, to gently massage and scrape the skin on the face and neck. This technique is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine and is believed to promote circulation, lymphatic drainage, and overall skin health.

Key elements of the Gua Sha Facial session include:
Preparation: The face is typically prepared with a natural oil or serum to provide a smooth surface for the Gua Sha tool to glide across. This also nourishes the skin.
Gentle Scraping: The therapist uses the smooth-edged Gua Sha tool to gently scrape the skin in upward and outward motions. The pressure applied is gentle and should not cause discomfort.
Technique: The therapist follows specific patterns and techniques to target different areas of the face and neck, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Lymphatic Drainage: Gua Sha promotes lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness, detoxify the skin, and enhance the complexion’s clarity.
Stimulation of Energy Channels: Similar to acupuncture, Gua Sha is believed to stimulate the body’s energy channels or meridians, promoting overall well-being.
Customization: The treatment can be tailored to address specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, or tension.
Relaxation: Beyond its beauty benefits, Gua Sha Facial is known for its relaxing and grounding effects, helping to reduce stress and tension.
