What is a Gua Sha Facial?

Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique where we bring about a fundamental change in the skin by clearing blockages, creating space and movement in the underlying structures, so that the skin can function better.

Its performed with the Blende Pure Nephrite Gua Sha stone. Nephrite carries a revitalizing energy that can help to speed healing, even skin tone, break down acne scars and sculpt the facial muscles. It’s said to be stone of health and abundance. It promotes harmony and balance in the skin and underlying tissue.

Immediate Results with Lasting Improvement

The 700+ year old practice has roots in traditional Chinese medicine, and has been used both as a type of family folk medicine as well as in clinical practice by licensed acupuncturists and in Chinese-style bodywork. While many facials are good at one or two things, we can customize your Gua Sha facial to address specific concerns more deeply. This level of focus helps to dramatically improve your skin’s tone, texture & appearance, starting with the first treatment.

What’s the differnce between Getting a Gua Sha facial at Blende and gua Sha at home?

At Blende the Gua Sha Facial is a relaxing and reinvigorating experience for your skin. When Gua Sha techniques are performed on you, we focus on lymphatic drainage and sculpting which is extremely soothing. Facial tension, which can worsen during these particularly stressful times, is worked deep down to the fascia level. The Fascia is a band of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin which is sculpted and stimulated with the Gua Sha Facial.

How Often should I have a Gua Sha Facial?

Gua Sha Facials are recommended every 3 weeks to start your practice and then once a month to maintain. Many see sculpting results after only one 60 minute treatment.
