Signature sculptingGua Sha Ritual
An ancient Eastern ritual using carved stones to promote cellular renewal, deep lymphatic drainage and an instant depuffed glow.
Slow strokes. Carved stone. Immediate glow.
An exquisite fusion of lymphatic drainage and tissue sculpting using hand-carved crystal tools.
This facial releases deep fascia restrictions, moves stagnant fluid and floods your skin cells with fresh, oxygenated blood for an immediate, filter-like radiance.
Every stone in the studio is hand-carved crystal, chosen for its weight and edge: a broad curve for the cheek, a fine edge for the jaw and brow, a comb for the scalp and neck. Cool against the skin, warmed by the stroke, they are as pleasing to hold as they are to feel.
Who it's for
Puffy mornings, dull or tired skin, a face that feels heavy. Anyone before an event who wants to glow rather than look "done". A gentle first step into manual sculpting, and the perfect maintenance treatment between Buccal Face Lifts.
What happens in the session
Cleanse, then a nourishing facial oil so the stones glide. Khush opens the lymph nodes at the neck and collarbone first, then works upward: jaw, cheeks, under-eyes, brow and forehead, in slow, deliberate strokes, finishing with the neck and scalp. Cupping or Cryo, if added, comes at the end.
What you'll feel and see after
Immediately: less puffiness, a lifted cheek line, brighter, dewier skin, and that "just back from holiday" look. The sensation is deeply calming, and most clients say the tension in their forehead and jaw softens along with the swelling.
Let the drainage finish its work.
- Drink water through the day; lymphatic drainage works best when you're hydrated.
- Leave the oil on for a few hours if you can. Skin stays plumper and brighter.
- A touch of pinkness is normal and fades within the hour. Skip saunas and hot workouts for the rest of the day.
- Two minutes of gua sha at home, three mornings a week, keeps the depuffed look going. Ask Khush to show you the strokes, or learn them properly in a face yoga workshop.
- Not suitable over active breakouts, sunburn or broken skin, or within two weeks of injectables. Tell us at booking.
Good questions.
Does gua sha hurt or leave marks?
No. Facial gua sha is slow and gentle, nothing like the firm body technique. Pressure is light to medium, the skin is oiled, and the most you'll see is a healthy flush that fades within the hour.
How is this different from gua sha at home?
Technique and depth. Khush works the deeper fascia and the full lymphatic pathway, from the collarbone up, in the right order, with professional tools. Home gua sha is wonderful maintenance; the ritual is the reset.
How long does the glow last?
The depuffed, brighter look lasts two to four days after one session. With regular sessions and a short home routine, the baseline improves: less morning puffiness, better tone, smoother texture.
Which stones do you use?
Hand-carved crystal tools in several shapes, each chosen for a part of the face. They are cleaned and sanitised between every client.
Can I have it before an event?
Yes, it's ideal. Book it the day before or the morning of for maximum glow with zero downtime. For a bigger lift before a wedding or shoot, see The Bridal / Red Carpet Sculpt.
