Facial Gua sha is kind of like yoga for your face; it works areas of tension in your face and neck, thereby improving circulation, reducing pain, and increasing physical and mental relaxation.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, Gua Sha creates friction to help clear “internal” heat and stagnation. When you create friction under your facial skin, you’re activating circulation. As we know from both ancient and modern medicine, good circulation promotes good health.
The Benefits of Facial Gua Sha
Facial Gua Sha offers many benefits for your body and mind. Physically speaking, Gua Sha relieves tension, detoxifies, and produces glowing skin.
Radiate from Within: Unveil a canvas of revitalized skin as Gua Sha deftly diminishes puffiness, revitalizes elasticity, and awakens your inner glow. This cherished technique, combined with the right touch, becomes your secret to preserving the delicate beauty of your face.
Facial Gua Sha detoxifies by encouraging lymphatic drainage. This drainage refers to the movement of built-up fluid in the body, which helps remove toxins. The sweeping directional movement of the Gua Sha tool, along with applied pressure, gently releases lymphatic drainage, which reduces puffiness and leaves your skin with a natural glow.
Facial Gua sha improves your skin’s appearance. As you improve lymphatic drainage, you restore healthy circulation. Greater circulation means less waste hanging around under the surface. As that waste loosens, it leaves more space for proper blood flow and increased levels of oxygen throughout the body.
The beautifying result of this lymphatic drainage and increased circulation is reduced facial lines, skin that appears to be lifted and firmed with a more even tone.
Improve Skin Tone
By increasing blood circulation to the face, Gua Sha helps to bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, promoting cell regeneration and improving skin tone and texture.
Reduce Puffiness
The gentle scraping motion of Gua Sha helps to drain excess fluids and reduce puffiness, particularly around the eyes and jawline.
Enhance Product Absorption
Facial Gua Sha can also help your skincare products penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.

What is facial Cupping?
You may have only just heard about Facial Cupping, as it has been growing in popularity recently. But Facial Cupping is actually rooted in ancient healing traditions. Cupping has been part of many Eastern healing systems and alternative medicine for centuries. We have 43 muscles in our face but, unlike the rest of the muscles in our body, we tend to neglect them. A good Facial Cupping routine relaxes and tones the muscles in your face, as well as improving blood flow. It also boosts collagen production and stimulates your lymphatic system! Much in the same way your skin glows after a good workout, Facial Cupping works on the simple principle of improving blood circulation.
How does Facial Cupping work?
When you squeeze your Facial Cup onto an area of your face, a gentle suction is created. This draws blood flow towards the surface of your skin. This increased blood flow in the skin underneath the cup and surrounding tissues encourages the formation of new blood vessels.
The suction also creates a controlled mini-trauma in the skin (in the same way as micro-needling and derma-rollers would), which prompts a natural healing process in the skin. More oxygenated blood flows to the area, collagen and fibroblast production is stimulated, and the skin cells are encouraged to reproduce.
The result? Skin that feels and looks more plump, healthy and glowing.
At Blue Root, we offer Facial Cupping and Facial Gua Sha as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment or as a stand alone session.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I LOVE Dr. Soto!!! She truly cares about her patients, making you feel like a member of her extended family, not just a name on a chart. I enjoy my sessions so much. I've had gua sha and cupping. But my primary reason for going was acupuncture. I feel so much better after my treatments. Truly one of the best things I have done for myself.
