Facial Gua Sha: Your Key to Glowing SkinGua Sha is a technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to help decrease pain and inflammation, promote lymphatic drainage, and flush out toxins from the tissues. The treatment involves pulling a flat jade or rose quartz stone along the skin to decrease pain and inflammation caused by myofascial adhesion and poor circulation. When applied to the body, this treatment works best when medium to firm pressure is used. When applied to the face, it is performed with light pressure since your facial skin is more delicate. This treatment works to lift, sculpt, and smooth your neck, jaw, under-eye, brow, forehead, and scalp. Results often include reduction in the appearance of fine lines, darkness under the eyes, sagging, puffiness, redness, and breakouts.
