Service Description
This class is currently for Licensed Massage Therapists only, and provides 6hrs of CE credit. OVERVIEW: Traditional Gua sha applied to the body has been used for centuries to increase circulation, decrease inflammation and promote overall wellness. Facial Gua sha is a specialized type of Gua sha that specifically targets conditions affecting the face, head and neck, and the tools used are smaller and lighter than traditional Gua sha tools making them easier to use on delicate facial skin. Used as a beauty treatment to stimulate circulation, move lymph and increase collagen production to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and spots, facial Gua sha is also used to treat health challenges such as TMD, Bell's Palsy, sinus conditions, migraines and more. This class will focus on the proper techniques to improve the overall health and appearance of the face, head and neck, as well as exploring specific acupoints on the face and body to treat headaches/migraines/'tech neck'. Students should bring their own non-porous facial Gua sha tools made of metal, quartz or ceramic/porcelain, and an oil suitable for applying to the face such as jojoba or rosehip. Please note that tools made of metal, quartz or ceramic/porcelain can be properly disinfected and sanitized.
