The face sculpting technique’, is based on an ancient healing technique called Gua Sha. First referred to in traditional Chinese medicine text, called the ‘Shan Han Lun’, dated 220CE.
This method was originally use to encourage redness, ‘Sha’, which encourages the skin to heal itself.
In China this has been performed traditionally with a coin and has been adapted with the various Gua Sha tools.
This beautiful therapy has been adapted for facial use in recent years, originally a body therapy, recognised by the scraping motion. This has now evolved into the gentle, gliding, even stroke, technique used today in our facial work.
Gua Sha Facial, is a method that promotes lymphatic drainage, which helps to eliminate fluid caused by interstitial fluid collected around the cells.
Gua Sha promotes the overall health of the skin, promoting micro circulation to feed the skin. Increase production of collagen and minimise fine lines and decrease inflammation in the skin.
Traditional Chinese methodologies believe this can temporarily, relieve pain, diminish dark circles, and sculpt the facial muscles, which insert into skin.
It is a beautiful facial for the therapist to perform and for your clients to receive.
An asset to your treatment menu.
