Facial Gwa Sha
Facial Gwa Sha
Facial Gwa Sha is a technique in which specially crafted handheld pieces of smooth jade are used to invigorate the skin, smooth out wrinkles and increase blood supply. It can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as Acne, Rosacea, Melasma and dark circles and is part of a comprehensive acupuncture facial rejuvenation program for wrinkles, sagging and puffiness. It can address areas such as the neck and jowls, which are prone to sagginess. The increased blood circulation, which occurs during Gua Sha, helps to detoxify the face and move stagnant blood and inflammation from under the eyes. By providing increased blood flow to the face, the skin is better nourished and healthier.

Part of the benefit of the treatment is that acupuncture points on the face are massaged with the Gwa Sha tool, which in turn benefits the internal organs. The better your liver and kidney are working, the healthier your skin will appear.
A gentle massaging technique is used for deep lines, such as those between the eyebrows and on the forehead. This procedure relaxes the muscles, increases blood flow and rejuvenates the skin. The more relaxed the muscles are, the more relaxed you feel. Much in the same way that smiling causes you to feel happier, having a tensely furrowed brow can elicit, worry, pensiveness and anger.
