Right now, we’re placing a special emphasis on a natural look, less makeup, and a healthy complexion. A Gua Sha treatment is the best and most natural way to achieve this. To do this, oil is applied generously to the face, neck, and nape of the neck, and then gently „scraped“ outward from the center of the face using the Gua.-Sha scraper. Regular use of Gua Sha on the face helps improve blood circulation, promote cell renewal, and prevent wrinkles and fine lines.

A Gua Sha treatment is one of the therapies used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is combined with a cupping treatment at the Plastethics Clinic. Cupping is one of the oldest beauty treatments in existence. During a face cup treatment, the cheeks, jawline, or décolletage are treated with gentle suction. Unlike traditional body cupping, face cups have significantly narrower openings. A Gua Sha facial with a face cup treatment is one of the most relaxing anti-aging treatments. It combines traditional techniques with the latest scientific findings.

  • Tones the facial and neck muscles
