1. What is gua sha and how does it work?

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese technique that is thousands of years old. Combining gua sha with red light offers a particularly intensive treatment in which a flat tool is stroked across the skin to stimulate circulation and lymph flow. A gua sha stone is usually used; here, it is replaced by our FaceWand. The gentle massage helps to release tension, carry away toxins and revitalise the skin.

Effects of gua sha on the skin:

• Stimulates microcirculation: The massage improves circulation so that oxygen and nutrients are transported more effectively to the skin cells.
• Lymphatic drainage: Gua sha stimulates the lymphatic system, removes excess fluid and reduces puffiness.
• Muscle relaxation and firming: Releases tension and promotes natural firming of the skin.
• Natural detoxification: Helps to break down pollutants and contributes to skin regeneration.

2. Facial light therapy: red, blue and violet light

The FaceWand combines three types of light for targeted facial light therapy:

• Red light (630 nm): Penetrates deep into the skin, stimulates collagen production and helps to calm inflammation – ideal for anti-ageing and cell regeneration.
• Blue light (465 nm): Has an antibacterial effect, targets acne-causing bacteria and helps to regulate oil production.
• Violet light: A combination of red and blue light with a cleansing and regenerating effect on irritated skin.

3. EMS and heat therapy

The FaceWand also integrates EMS and heat therapy to make your red light facial care even more effective:

• Heat therapy: Gentle warmth promotes circulation, relaxes the muscles and enhances the effect of the gua sha technique.
• Micro-pulse EMS: Electrical impulses stimulate the facial muscles, improve skin elasticity and provide firming and contouring.

4. Non-surgical facial firming: facial shaping with the FaceWand

Gua sha is also a popular tool for non-surgical facial firming:

• Draining and depuffing: Reduces puffiness and makes the face look more defined.
• Boosting circulation: Gives you a rosy, healthy complexion.
• Muscle relaxation and firming: Softens fine lines and refines the contours of the face.
• Targeted contouring: Ideal for cheekbones and the jawline.

5. Combining gua sha, light therapy, EMS and heat therapy

Combining these technologies offers holistic facial care:

• Improved circulation and cell health
• Clarifying and regenerating with blue light
• Skin protection and relaxation with violet light
• Increased skin elasticity with EMS and warmth
