About Face Acupuncture & Face Gua Sha
Both treatments focus on the face and are often booked as part of a regular self-care routine. Face acupuncture uses very fine needles placed on the face and scalp. Face gua sha uses a smooth, flat tool glided gently over the skin with oil.
Face acupuncture costs AED 450 per session. Face gua sha is a 30-minute treatment for AED 270.
What the treatment involves
Face acupuncture: after cleansing, your therapist places very fine needles at points on the face and scalp, and you rest while they stay in place.
Face gua sha: a facial oil is applied and a flat tool is glided across the face and neck with light, even strokes. It feels similar to a facial massage.
