Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Gua Sha achieves immediately noticeable improvements in the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, dark circles, puffy eyes and sagging skin by combining a unique blend of facial massage therapies that clear accumulation, release tension and promotes the free flow of vital nutrients to feed the skin and help re-pattern the way it ages.

By increasing movement through massage and restoring inner mobility, the skin is able to naturally clear obstructions that lead to acne, rosacea, puffiness, dark circles and sensitivities. Boosting its natural healing ability, the skin flourishes, develops a fresh healthy glow and results in long-term benefits.

It’s an effective modality that directly affects the connective tissue and muscles to help untangle and iron out the fascia that is bound with tension and traps accumulated wastes. It helps unwind the tissue, restores mobility and creates space for the optimal flow of blood, oxygen, lymph and therefore, nutrients.

Benefits include:

• Renew facial contour; tone, firm and lift sagging skin

• Reduce inflammation, puffiness and dark circles

• Brighten the complexion; create a healthy radiant glow

• Minimize fine lines and soften deep wrinkles

• Diminish blemishes, redness and skin sensitivities
