Facial Gua Sha
Facial Gua Sha: Natural Contouring and Skin Rejuvenation
Facial Gua Sha is an ancient, non-invasive therapy that enhances skin health, contours the face, and promotes a radiant complexion. Unlike conventional beauty treatments, Gua Sha stimulates blood circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and encourages cellular regeneration for long-lasting, natural results. This relaxing practice not only improves skin texture but also relieves facial tension, reduces puffiness, and creates a lifted, sculpted appearance.
When combined with acupuncture and herbal medicine, facial Gua Sha helps restore internal balance, leading to healthier, brighter skin. Many patients notice a natural glow as a side effect of treating other health conditions, proving that beauty truly comes from within.
How Can Facial Gua Sha Improve Your Skin?
Facial Gua Sha is designed to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin function. Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that the skin reflects the health of internal organ systems, making Gua Sha a holistic approach to both beauty and wellness.

Gua Sha Contouring
Facial Gua Sha is a relaxing and non-invasive therapy used for thousands of years. Gua Sha can improve complexion, sculpt, contour, reduce swelling and puffiness, and relax facial tension (such as in TMJ and Bell’s Palsy). The results are a naturally lifted, contoured face and neck. Noticeable results can be seen in as little as one session.
This is my bare face, before starting my morning routine. These photos were taken 3 months apart, doing facial Gua Sha just twice per week in the evenings.
For consistency, these photos were taken during the same time of my cycle: early luteal phase. No make-up, no filters, and no weight loss.
You can choose if each facial Gua Sha session is a one-on-one teaching lesson, or if you’d rather relax and let me do all the work.
