How does lymphatic drainage and Gua Sha facials work for face slimming?
At Sukhothai Thai Spa, manual lymphatic drainage with gua sha application on the face is a natural way to achieve a slimmer face by promoting the drainage of excess fluid and waste, reducing inflammation due to allergies, and increasing blood supply and help to reduce puffiness and swelling.
It also serves a documented medical purpose in reducing actual lymph build up due in the sinuses, for instance. It does so by relieving pressure and congestion in the sinuses.
Our gua sha facial does not serve as a fat reduction massage, however it does reduce the puffiness of the face due to fluids build up. This results in slimming of the face and the result is instant. Weekly treatments are recommended to maintain the result.
So what exactly is lymphatic drainage? Manual Lymphatic Therapy (MLT) utilizes gentle pressure to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid to increases the rate of waste products removal from tissues, helping the body perform physiological processes such as boosting immunity, eliminating toxins, maintaining proper pH levels, binding proteins into cells,
Its popularity of this treatment is due to its aide in improving overall skin health and beauty without harsh chemicals or treatments. It works by stimulating facial meridians (energy channels found throughout the body), which helps relax tight facial muscles while increasing blood flow to the face for a healthy glow. Additionally, it helps promote better circulation, which can be beneficial for reducing wrinkles and improving skin tone.
