In addition to acupuncture, we incorporate the ancient art of guasha into your facial treatment. Guasha involves the gentle scraping of the skin using a smooth tool, which helps to smooth wrinkles, increase circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage. This technique also detoxifies the skin, reduces puffiness, and enhances the natural glow of your complexion. Guasha is particularly effective at releasing tension in the facial muscles, which can contribute to a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
Another key component of our acupuncture facials is facial cupping, a technique distinct from the body cupping you may be familiar with. Unlike body cupping, which can leave noticeable bruises, facial cupping is a gentle, gliding massage that uses small, specialized cups to create a light suction on the skin. This negative pressure lifts the tissue, increasing blood flow and creating space between the layers of your skin. As a result, more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the skin cells, promoting healing and regeneration. Facial cupping also aids in reducing puffiness, enhancing skin tone, and leaving your skin with a healthy, vibrant glow.
