Gua Sha Facial Massage Online Course with Theory, Step-by-Step Video Training, Quiz, and Certificate.
Gua Sha facial massage is a manual technique originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, using a specially shaped tool to work on the skin, subcutaneous tissue, facial muscles, fascia, and lymphatic system.
During the treatment, the tool is gently glided over the skin at an appropriate angle, following muscle structure and lymphatic drainage pathways, while respecting facial anatomy.
Regular Gua Sha massage helps improve tissue oxygenation and nourishment, reduce puffiness, support facial contouring, enhance skin firmness and elasticity, and promote a more refreshed and radiant complexion.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gua Sha is based on stimulating meridian pathways with the goal of improving the flow of Qi, reducing stagnation, and restoring overall energetic balance in the body.
