The facial rejuvenation treatment uses cupping and gua sha to address issues such as fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, discolouration & uneven skin tone, puffiness, acne, rosacea, and more. It also has long-lasting benefits, boosting collagen production, improving lymphatic flow & circulation, and helping detox the skin. This is a very relaxing and revitalizing treatment, a definite treat.

Facial cupping and gua sha can also be helpful for conditions such as Bell's Palsy, TMJ pain, and other issues affecting the face.

Cupping and gua sha are traditional Chinese medicine tools & techniques used to address many issues affecting the body. The cups used for working on the face are more gentle than cups used on other parts of the body. They are made with glass and glide easily over the skin. Gua sha tools are used to work on the fascia and can be made with a variety of materials. For working on the face, we used jade gua sha since jade has many benefits for the skin of the face, helping to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and aid in detoxification. To assist the movement of the cups and gua sha, an argan-based oil with skin-supporting essential oils will be applied to the skin.

Add this treatment to your skincare routine, or book it as an in-between treatment to cosmetic acupuncture (it is also an excellent alternative if you want the benefits of facial acupuncture, but are not keen on facial needling).

Optional: acupuncture needles placed on the legs and arms can be added to your treatment to improve the effects of the facial.
