What Is Gua Sha and How Does It Work?

Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses gentle scraping of the skin with a smooth-edged tool—often made of jade or rose quartz—to improve circulation and release stagnant energy. At Acupuncture Atelier, we use Gua Sha as both a therapeutic and cosmetic tool to help clients restore balance, reduce inflammation, and reveal a natural, healthy glow.

Through controlled strokes applied to areas of facial tension or stagnation, Gua Sha stimulates the lymphatic system, increases blood flow, and encourages detoxification. These effects contribute to clearer skin, reduced puffiness, and a more radiant complexion—all without harsh products or invasive procedures.

How Does Gua Sha Reduce Inflammation Naturally?

Inflammation is a common culprit behind puffiness, acne, dull skin, and discomfort. Gua Sha addresses inflammation by targeting key areas where lymph and blood flow may be sluggish. This technique gently helps move fluid buildup, reduce stagnation, and calm irritated tissues.

At Acupuncture Atelier, our practitioners are trained to apply Gua Sha with expert precision, working with your body’s natural rhythm to release muscular tension and reduce inflammatory markers. Gua Sha for tension healing is one of the most common reasons clients seek this therapy: it provides immediate and lasting relief. Many clients notice an immediate sense of relief, improved tone, and decreased facial swelling after just one session.

What Are the Benefits of Gua Sha for Skin Health and Radiance?

Gua Sha offers a wide range of benefits, especially when used as part of a consistent self-care or facial therapy routine:

• Improves circulation to bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin
• Reduces puffiness and dark under-eye circles
• Enhances lymphatic drainage to detoxify skin tissues
• Softens fine lines and firms the skin
• Promotes collagen production and elasticity
• Relieves jaw tension and facial tightness

Our clients at Acupuncture Atelier often report that regular Gua Sha sessions leave their skin looking brighter, smoother, and more sculpted—like a natural facelift without downtime.
