I love how a gua sha facial is not only incredibly relaxing but also many clients have told me they see immediate benefits. The most obvious one is the healthy glow seen in the skin. This is from the increase in circulation and also lymphatic flow. You may also see a lift to the eyes, more sculpted cheeks and jawline, and less puffiness in the eye area or entire face.

As a holistic esthetician, I had been drawn to gua sha for some time. It wasn’t unit l I took the Nefeli gua sha training that I really began to fully understand the benefits and embrace the treatment. Gua sha quickly became my favorite service to perform in the spa.
My favorite go-to stone to address just about any issue is the Nefeli gua sha. It’s the first (but not only) patented gua sha stone. The many different angles can work on different areas of the face and neck . The small little comb-like edges are great for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
Another favorite tool in the spa is the gua sha comb for face and body. The long edge is perfect for on the body, the neck area, or the even the face. The comb is ideal for the scalp or beard area, helping to stimulate circulation and hair growth.
There’s al the deep curve used for sculpting the jaw line. As someone who suffers from TMJ, I also find this helps to relax and soften the muscles around the jawline that gets so tight.
The jade comb can be used on the body as well to help reduce the look of cellulite. Combine this with dry brushing for added benefits.
