Facial Gua Sha for Skin (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

Facial Gua Sha for Skin

 

Facial tools, usually made from Jade for it’s cooling properties are used to smooth out wrinkles on the face and increase circulation. Usually gua sha is used with facial cups for facial cupping and most often both are used with facial acupuncture for what is known as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

What is Gua Sha Used For?

Gua sha is used for Rosacea, Melasma, dark circles, sagging, puffiness and to smoothe out wrinkles.

  • Rosacea
  • Melasma
  • Wrinkles
  • Dark circles
  • Puffiness of skin
  • Sagging skin

How it Works:

Acupuncture points are stimulated with the gua sha tool on the face to increase blood circulation and decrease stagnation and inflammation. Gently massaging the face over acupuncture points with gua sha smoothes out wrinkles such as the furrow between the eyebrows and deep wrinkles of the forehead. Gua sha can be used along with facial cupping and facial rejuvenation or as a treatment alone.

Facial Cupping with Acupuncture (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

Facial Cupping with Facial Acupuncture

What is Facial Cupping Used For?

Facial Cupping is used by itself or alongside facial acupuncture. Facial cupping can help with increased local circulation or the flow of qi and blood to the face. It can also aid in the absorption of facial serums. Cupping can reduce dark circles, diminish puffy areas of the face and help the skin to look more youthful again.

TMJ and Sinus pressure may also be relieved through Facial Cupping.

Does Facial Cupping Hurt?

No, facial cupping does not hurt nor irritate the skin. Facial cupping is suitable and can be effective to use on Acne and Rosacea. Cups used for facial cupping are much smaller and are left on for much less time than the cups used on other parts of the body.

Gua Sha is a common tool used along with cupping on the face and can help with Acne, dark circles, Melasma and Rosacea.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture for Rosacea (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture for Rosacea

Facial Rejuvenation is used to treat many things besides wrinkles, including Rosacea.

What is Rosacea?

Rosacea is common and is seen as a tendency to flush with redness seen in the skin, usually the face. Blood vessels may become visible and if not treated over time this inflammation can lead to visibly bumpy skin over the cheeks and nose area with redness which may become permanent, especially over the nose.

An example of someone well-known who has Rosacea is former US President Bill Clinton with redness over the middle of his face.

What is Gua-Sha?

Gua sha is a tool used by licensed acupuncturists which is great for massaging the face of someone with Rosacea. Gua sha is smoothed over the face like a massage by the acupuncturist to help relax the stressed skin. Often gua sha tools are made with jade which is naturally cooling and soothing to the skin.

Rosacea Home Care:

 

  • Avoid the Sun/ Use SPF topical facial sunscreen
  • Avoid Spicy Foods (if a trigger)
  • Avoid becoming Over-heated
