Facial Massage with a Gua Sha Tool – The Secret to Beautiful and Firm Skin

Massage techniques remain one of the most accessible ways to care for the face and body. The cosmetic service of Gua Sha facial massage has recently gained particular popularity. The technique is based on traditional Thai practice and has deep roots in Eastern philosophy, where physical health is closely linked to mental balance. In Kyiv, you can experience a Gua Sha facial massage at the Royal Thai Spa salon.

Features of the Ancient Thai Gua Sha Facial Massage Technique

The main principle of Eastern medicine is the harmony of body and soul. Gua Sha facial massage is not just a cosmetic procedure; it is an ancient Chinese practice that harmoniously combines physical and energetic effects, benefiting both the skin and the body as a whole. The technique restores inner balance and emotional calm.

The facial massage is performed using a Gua Sha stone, often jade or rose quartz. The technique involves smooth movements in specific directions – from the center of the face to the periphery, along lymphatic flow lines. Special attention is given to the cheekbones, jaw, forehead, and delicate skin around the eyes, where tension accumulates, and wrinkles are most likely to appear.

Smooth, repetitive movements with the special tool help relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and stimulate natural regeneration processes. A facial massage with natural stone not only enhances the skin’s appearance but also creates a deeply relaxing effect, positively impacting overall well-being.

Benefits of the Procedure

Numerous reviews of Gua Sha facial massage highlight its effectiveness and positive impact on skin condition. Royal Thai Spa clients note that even after one session, the skin appears firmer, more radiant, and refreshed. They also confirm the effectiveness of Gua Sha massage for facial lifting, reducing puffiness, and diminishing under-eye bags.

Key benefits of the technique:

1. Improvement of microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Gua Sha lymphatic drainage facial massage boosts blood flow and stimulates lymphatic circulation, quickly reducing puffiness and improving skin tone.
2. Lifting effect and firming. Regular rejuvenating stone facial massage provides a lifting effect, improves skin firmness, reduces fine lines, and stimulates the production of essential proteins like collagen and elastin.
3. Relief of muscle tension. The special technique helps relax facial muscles, reducing expression lines.
4. Detoxification and improved skin texture.

It’s worth emphasizing that Gua Sha facial massage is very affordable. Additionally, the simplicity of the technique allows you to maintain results between salon sessions on your own.

Gua Sha Facial Massage: Tools and Frequency

A Gua Sha stone facial massage aims to relieve tension, reduce puffiness, and rejuvenate the skin. Forehead treatment begins with movements from the center to the temples, gradually covering the entire area – from the brow line to the hairline. The tool is then moved from the inner corner of the eye to the temple along the lower brow line. For the neck, upward movements are used to help lift the skin.

Technique features for various tasks:

1. Gua Sha for facial contouring involves working on the chin area. The tool is moved from the center of the chin to the ears, extending past the earlobe, which helps lift the facial contours.
2. To define the cheekbones, the tool is moved from the bridge of the nose along the nose toward the ears. A slight increase in pressure helps better highlight the cheekbone line.
3. For facial slimming, Gua Sha is performed with gentle movements, without excessive pressure or sharp manipulations, making the process safe and effective.

The procedure is always done on moisturized skin with oils or serums to minimize friction. The frequency and duration of sessions are determined individually by salon cosmetologists depending on the goals. The facial massage is performed with a Gua Sha scraper, with each tool having its specific use.

Facial massage using a Gua Sha scraper is most common. The tool is made from various materials, including wood and natural or artificial stones. The most popular stones are quartz and jade. Quartz is typically used for toning, while jade is favored for relaxing techniques. The tool’s shape depends on the area being treated: for facial massage, triangular, butterfly, or heart-shaped tools are most suitable.

Gua Sha Massage Contraindications

Gua Sha massage with a bone comb, jade scraper, or other similar tools has contraindications, such as rosacea, couperose, herpes during flare-ups, acne, and ARVI. Often, the procedure can leave marks like scratches – these are subcutaneous vascular injuries. Therefore, it’s better to entrust this massage to a specialist, as it can be difficult to calculate the proper pressure on your own, which could lead to harm.
