Your treatment starts with body acupuncture to address underlying imbalances, fostering holistic healing from within. We then proceed with the delicate placement of facial needles, designed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. As you relax, a Celluma LED lamp enhances the treatment by targeting wrinkles and acne, revealing a smoother, clearer complexion.

Your session also includes a luxurious facial gua sha massage for both the face and neck, combined with an infrared heat and deep oil scalp massage, leaving you thoroughly refreshed and revitalized from head to toe. This indulgent experience is the perfect way to achieve radiant, youthful skin.

Facial gua sha is a powerful technique that focuses on myofascial release and enhanced circulation. By gently scraping the skin, gua sha helps alleviate tension in the facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The technique also boosts circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to skin cells while aiding in the removal of toxins and impurities. This increased blood flow contributes to a brighter, more vibrant complexion, and helps improve the absorption of skincare products for optimal results.

Please Note: Petechiae, small red or purple spots on the skin, may appear as a result of the gua sha technique. These are caused by minor bleeding beneath the skin's surface due to the breaking of small capillaries and are considered a normal therapeutic response. Petechiae are typically painless and fade within a few days. While we take care to avoid causing petechiae on the face, factors such as blood-thinning medications or herbs may increase their likelihood. Please ensure you inform me of all medications you are currently taking.
