The Gua Sha facial massage is a manual technique of ancestral origin that uses quartz tools to gently stimulate the skin, promote drainage and relax accumulated tension in the face. Helps define cheekbones, deflate, improve radiance and leave a fresher, smoother and more rested appearance without the use of appliances. The main result is a more deflated, sculpted face with a porcelain-like glow. Mode: on-site at Sakura Polanco (CDMX).
