Face and Neck Gua Sha 60 min

Service Description

Gua Sha is a traditional East Asian healing technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to promote circulation and release muscle tension. It’s rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been practiced for centuries. K Here’s how it generally works: • Tool: Usually a flat, smooth-edged tool made of jade, rose quartz, horn, or metal. • Medium: Oil or lotion is applied to the skin to reduce friction. • Technique: The practitioner gently but firmly scrapes the skin in one direction, typically along meridians or muscles. • Areas treated: Traditionally used on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs. Modern beauty adaptations focus on the face for skin health. Purposes / Benefits • Traditionally: to release “stagnant qi” (energy), improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. • Modern / Western use: to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and (in facial gua sha) promote a more sculpted look. After-effects • It may leave temporary red or purple marks (called “sha”) that fade in a few days. These are not bruises in the traditional sense but are seen as evidence of improved circulation.
