What to Expect from Treatment
What Happens in a Session
Your practitioner will use a smooth gua sha tool — typically rose quartz or bian stone — with a light facial oil to glide across the skin in specific directional strokes. Pressure is gentle and the experience is deeply relaxing. Unlike body gua sha, facial gua sha does not produce marks. Sessions typically run 30–60 minutes.
