Our Signature Gua Sha Facial

Girl, if you haven’t tried Gua Sha, it’s definitely time for you to experience the best Gua Sha facial in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado.

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves “scraping” of the skin using various tools, often a flat jade stone. While it is traditionally used for a myriad of reasons, Gua Sha in the cosmetic world has only recently become famous. Gua Sha moves and drains lymph, soothes irritated skin, helps penetrate product, eases muscle tension, and is absolutely blissful. The Balanced Thistle Team has unparalleled training in gua-sha having studied under multiple Chinese Medicine doctors from around the world. Unlike invasive treatments, Gua Sha offers a holistic, non-toxic way to sculpt and lift your skin while deeply relaxing your facial muscles. Pair this incredible technique with custom-for-you Chinese herbal skin care that smells and feels innnncredible and you’ll leave with that gua-sha glow you’ll never want to lose!
