Guasha Lymphatic Drainage Facial (90 min)

Service Description

A Lymphatic Drainage (Guasha) Facial combines the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage with the traditional Chinese Guasha technique, which uses a jade or other smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin. The primary goal is to promote circulation, reduce puffiness, enhance detoxification, and stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, which helps the skin eliminate waste and excess fluids. Each of our Guasha Facials includes: • Total Cleanse • Tradition Chinese Guasha to lift and reduce puffness • Exfoliation • Face Steam • Optional Extraction • Treatment Masks • Personalized cocktail of serums, lotions + potions ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT TO EXPECT 90 minutes combining a full facial with deep guasha sculpting and lymphatic drainage. Cleanse, enzyme exfoliation, lymph pathway massage, guasha sculpting along the jaw, cheekbone, and brow, a mask, and finishing products. This one is sculpting-forward — you'll see a lifted, defined look walking out. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PREPARATION & AFTERCARE Before: Hydrate well for 24 hours. Skip salty food the night before. Avoid retinol for 3 days pre-session. After: Keep hydrating. Avoid heat (sauna, hot yoga) for 24 hours. Results peak the next morning — don't judge them immediately post-session when skin may still look flushed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREQUENTLY ASKED Q: How is this different from a regular facial? A: Double the focus on muscle tone and lymph. It's the session to book if facial puffiness or jaw tension is your main complaint. Q: Does guasha hurt? A: Firm but not painful. If you feel bruised afterward, pressure was too deep — tell us during the session so we adjust. Q: How long do results last? A: Visible lift and contour for 5–10 days. Consistent monthly sessions compound — tone improves over 3–6 months. Q: Will I bruise? A: Mild redness is normal. Visible bruising is rare and means pressure was off — we'll adjust at your next visit. Q: Can I book this before an event? A: Yes, and it's one of the most requested pre-event treatments. 24–48 hours before is the sweet spot. Q: Is this good for acne-prone skin? A: Yes, as long as there are no active cysts on the sculpting pathway. We'll adjust around breakouts. Q: How does it compare to Ultherapy or Morpheus? A: Not a replacement for energy-based tightening. Think of guasha as maintenance between clinical treatments.
