Gua Sha Lifting / Facial Gua Sha
We currently attach great importance to a natural look, less make-up and a healthy complexion. A Gua Sha treatment is the best and most natural way to do this. For this purpose, oil is generously applied to the face, neck and neck, which is then gently "removed" from the middle of the face outwards with the Gua Sha scraper. Regular use of Gua Sha on the face helps improve blood circulation, promote cell renewal and prevent wrinkles and fine lines.
A Gua Sha treatment is one of the TCM therapies (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and is combined with a cupping treatment in the Plastethics Clinic. Cupping is one of the oldest beauty treatments of all. With a face cup, cheeks, the chin line or the décolleté are treated with gentle negative pressure. Unlike the traditional body treatment, the face cups have significantly narrower openings. A Gua Sha Facial with a Face Cup Treatment is one of the most relaxing anti-aging treatments.
