Gua sha
​
At Ocean Ki Wellness, we are proud to offer an ancient and effective technique known as Gua Sha. This traditional practice has been used for centuries to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, and is now available to you in a modern and effective form.
Gua Sha is a natural, non-invasive technique that involves using a smooth, flat tool to gently scrape the skin in a specific pattern. This scraping action is believed to stimulate lymphatic drainage, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. Our skilled and experienced practitioner will use gentle, yet effective techniques to customize the treatment to your specific needs and concerns.
​
The benefits of Gua Sha are numerous. It has been found to stimulate circulation in targeted areas, which can help to brighten the complexion. Gua Sha also helps the body produce more collagen, which can help to decrease puffiness, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Additionally, Gua Sha has been found to decrease inflammation, which can lead to temporary relief from pain and tightness in certain parts of the body. Gua Sha can also help to diminish dark circles and temporarily tighten skin. When used on the jawline and cheekbone area, Gua Sha can help release tight facial muscles and give the temporary appearance of a more sculpted face, it may not get rid of a double chin, but it can help ease puffiness in the short term.
​
At Ocean Ki Wellness, we recommend using Gua Sha at least once a week, but the frequency of use will vary based on your skin type and how well your skin responds to the treatment. We suggest starting with twice or thrice weekly as you get used to it and confident in your abilities. If you want to see the finest outcomes from Gua Sha, it's ideal to practice it every day once you get into the habit of doing it.
