Gua sha works with the lymphatic system through gliding movements with a scraper along massage lines, whereas a classic massage involves manual work on the muscles. The techniques and areas of focus differ: gua sha is more focused on lymphatic drainage and toning. Read more in the article.
With the correct technique and healthy skin—no. Any slight redness immediately after the session fades within a few hours. If you are prone to vascular reactions, the specialist will adjust the pressure. Read more in the article.

Proceed with caution—it depends on the stage and severity of the couperose. In cases of mild spider veins, the specialist adapts the technique and avoids areas with visible vessels. If the couperose is pronounced, it is best to consult a dermatologist. Read more in the article.

Gua sha face massage is an ancient Chinese technique enjoying a well-deserved comeback. At its core is work with a special scraper of natural stone along the massage lines of the face. The movements are smooth and rhythmic: they stimulate lymph flow, improve microcirculation, and bring back the skin's natural glow that fades with fatigue and stress.
Unlike many cosmetic procedures, gua sha works not with the surface of the skin but with what's beneath it — the lymph, circulation, and muscle tone. After a session the face looks rested and lifted: puffiness subsides, the complexion evens out, and the contours become more defined. The effect is visible right away and lasts for several days.
Gua sha works both as a standalone procedure and in combination with other face-massage techniques. It's especially fitting for morning puffiness, a dull complexion, the first signs of facial fatigue, or as regular care to maintain tone.
