Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Gua Sha massage?
Gua Sha is a traditional technique that glides a smooth stone tool along the skin. Our session combines a 1-hour body massage with a 30-minute facial. It aims to ease tension, support circulation, and bring back your natural glow.
What happens during a session?
Your 90-minute visit starts with a short talk about your goals. Edyta applies warm, nourishing oils, then uses slow, rhythmic strokes with natural tools. The facial part uses very light pressure.
Will Gua Sha leave marks on my skin?
Strong, traditional scraping can leave temporary red marks. Edyta works with gentle pressure and adjusts to your comfort. Ask for lighter work anytime during the session.
Can the facial help with puffiness?
Gentle downward strokes may help move fluid and leave your face looking less puffy. Cleveland Clinic notes this effect is similar to lymphatic self-massage. Results vary from person to person.
How often should I book a session?
Many clients enjoy a session once a month as a body and skin reset. You can also book a short series before an event. Edyta will suggest a rhythm that fits your goals.
Who should avoid this treatment?
Skip it if you have a sunburn, rash, open wound, or skin infection. Talk with your doctor first if you bruise easily or take blood thinners. Share your health history before your visit.
How is it different from the Japanese Cosmo Lift?
Our session includes body work and a facial, while the Japanese Cosmo Lift focuses only on the face. See both options on our natural face lift page.
