Exclusive Facial with Gua Sha

Gua Sha massage is a traditional Chinese massage technique with a relaxing, lymphatic drainage and rejuvenating effect. Gua She meaning to ”scrape away all bad” is an ancient Chinese healing technique that offers a unique approach to better health. It increases blood circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage to get rid of puffiness, brightens the skin and can even help to make your face look slimmer after the treatment. Many patients even report it helps with headaches due to the boost in circulation.

Gua Sha facial technique: During a Gua sha facial massage our Holistic Aesthetics specialist scrapes the skin with short and long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue to increase blood flow. Organic massage oil is applied onto your skin prior to the massage. Strokes are performed with smoothedged Gem Stones known as a Gua Sha massage tools. Our aesthetic specialist may apply mild pressure and gradually increase intensity.

Gemstones for health: Our Gua Sha facial massage is performed using scrapers made of Jadeite, Jade, Jasper, Onyx, Topaz, Rose Quartz gemstones. These scrapers are in various shapes and each have their own particular uses.

Jadeite mineral in eastern medicine is used to restore disturbed human bioenergetics.
Jade (Nephrite) has anti-inflammatory properties. Relieves migraine. Effectively smoothens the skin.
Black Jade helps purify human energy. Improves blood circulation, helps to eliminate toxins from the body.
Onyx pulls the disease out of the damaged organ. It produces cooling effect, therefore useful in relieving inflammation. Helps with insomnia, depression, stress.
Jasper feeds with positive energy, as well as stimulates the heart and blood vessels.

One thing to keep in mind is that using this technique without proper understanding of facial anatomy, physiology and lymphatic system can cause bruising and swelling of the lymphatic nodes.
