Why Add Gua Sha to Your Facial?
This therapeutic add-on transforms your skincare experience into a deeply relaxing, glow-boosting ritual. With consistent treatments, Gua Sha can:
- Define and Sculpt Facial Contours
By encouraging lymphatic flow and reducing fluid retention, Gua Sha helps highlight natural bone structure and refine puffiness, particularly around the cheeks, jawline, and under-eyes. - Enhance Skin Radiance and Tone
Improved circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin more efficiently, boosting your natural glow and evening out skin tone. - Relieve Facial Tension
Ideal for clients who clench their jaw or hold stress in the face, this massage technique melts away tension and leaves facial muscles more relaxed and lifted. - Improve Product Absorption
Paired with a nourishing facial serum or oil, Gua Sha helps active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin, amplifying the benefits of your skincare treatment.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your experience begins with a skin analysis and consultation with Dr. Addison Zhang or one of our licensed aestheticians. We’ll tailor your facial and Gua Sha treatment to match your skin type and wellness goals.
2. Facial Cleansing and Prep
Your skin is deeply cleansed and prepped with a nourishing oil or hydrating serum to allow the Gua Sha tool to glide smoothly and comfortably across your skin.
3. Gua Sha Massage Technique
Using a specially shaped jade or rose quartz tool, your aesthetician will perform gentle, rhythmic strokes along your face, neck, and décolleté. Movements follow lymphatic pathways and muscle contours to lift, de-puff, and relax.
4. Post-Treatment Glow
After the massage, you’ll immediately notice a brighter, lifted appearance and feel your skin has a soft, refreshed finish. The effects continue to improve over the following days, especially when paired with good hydration and skincare.
Who Should Consider Gua Sha with Facial?
Gua Sha is safe and beneficial for most skin types and is especially ideal for those who:

- Want a natural lift without injectables or downtime
- Hold stress or tension in their jaw, forehead, or neck
