GUA SHA | $75 per 30 min session

The ancient practice of gua sha comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine where a certified therapist scrapes the skin to promote lymphatic drainage and to bring oxygenated blood to areas of tension or soreness to improve circulation and healing. More recently, gua sha has made a shift as a beautification tool to smooth the appearance of the facial skin, reduce puffiness, and help increase muscle tone. It is a powerful technique with amazing benefits such as being a great alternative to Botox and fillers due to proper detoxification of the facial tissue which leads to beautiful glowing skin.
