What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha literally translates to ‘scrape’.
​
Gua Sha is a natural, alternative healing technique that involves ‘scraping’ the skin with a smooth edged massage tool to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. This Ancient Chinese Healing Technique, which was created around 2,000 years ago, may offer a unique approach to improved health, relieving symptoms of stress and addressing issues like chronic pain. On the face, other benefits include the production of collagen; reduction in water retention; a decrease in puffiness and softening of wrinkles and fine lines.
How can Gua Sha help me?
A recent study revealed that Gua Sha increased microcirculation in the skin’s surface 400%, decreasing muscle tightness and pain. Increased blood flow in the face means a heightened update of nutrients and oxygen, which ultimately shifts toxins and leads to healthier skin.
It is the boosted blood flow that makes gua sha such a great treatment. Many skin conditions are believed to be related to a sluggish system and stagnant lymph flow, as toxins trapped in blocked passageways will move out of the body in other ways, potentially leading to skin infections and breakouts. By getting the lymphatic system moving again, gua sha allows for any excess waste to be flushed away
What happens when I come for a Gua Sha treatment?
You will discuss with your therapist what you would like to achieve from your treatment, whether it is a healthier more even complexion; a natural lift to the facial features; or improved tone in you skin. All of the above can be achieved but we discuss your personal aims so that your therapist can give you direction on you ‘at home’ self-care routine.
A ‘before’ picture will be taken so you may compare your features before and after your treatments. Then we get you comfortable and warm on our luxury treatment bed before beginning. Your therapist will get you familiar with her touch but introducing some relaxing massage and stretching techniques to your neck and shoulders before working in your hair to help with tension in the scalp. A rich cleanser is then applied to your face and décolletage ensure your skin is clean and ready. After wrapping your face in warm towels and applying specially created golden facial oil containing rose, frankincense and pomegranate oil your therapist will use her extensive array of facial Gua Sha crystals to ensure you achieve the best results from your treatment. When your therapist has finished using the Gua Sha crystals to sculpt your face and help remove blocked lymphatic fluid she will wrap your face with a hot towel and provide complete skin care so you leave feeling relaxed, glowing and with skin that hasn’t felt so good in a long time. You will be given a refreshing glass of water to help flush away any toxins or fluid which may have been released during your treatment and finally your 'after' pictures are taken so you can see the effects of the treatment
