Exclusive Service — One of the few clinics in Hyderabad offering medical-grade Gua Sha by certified practitioners
A 2,000-year-old healing technique now backed by modern research. Smooth-edged tools applied with deliberate strokes to stimulate microcirculation, release fascial adhesions, and activate your body's natural healing response — for both face and body.
Gua Sha (pronounced "gwah-shah") originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The technique involves using a smooth tool — typically jade, rose quartz, or stainless steel — to apply firm, controlled strokes along the skin's surface. This stimulates the movement of qi (energy) and blood beneath the skin.
Modern research confirms what practitioners have known for centuries: Gua Sha triggers a local anti-inflammatory response, increases surface microcirculation by up to 400%, and promotes the release of fascial tension held deep in the tissue. At Ataha Wellness, our practitioners are trained in both traditional technique and evidence-based application.
We offer Gua Sha in two focused forms, each with its own technique, tools, and goals.
Gentle strokes along facial contours using a specially shaped jade or rose quartz tool. Targets puffiness, sluggish lymphatic drainage, facial tension, and skin dullness. A deeply relaxing treatment with visible results from the first session.
Applied to the neck, shoulders, back, and limbs using traditional downward strokes. Breaks up adhesions in the fascia, releases muscle tension, and improves circulation in areas of chronic pain or stiffness. Particularly effective for postpartum recovery.
Moves stagnant lymphatic fluid, reducing puffiness and facial bloating within sessions.
Repeated sessions tone facial muscles and improve the appearance of jawline and cheekbone definition.
Dissolves chronic neck, shoulder, and back tension — especially valuable for desk workers and new mothers.
Supports circulation in abdominal and pelvic areas after delivery, complementing our postpartum rehabilitation program.
Research shows Gua Sha increases local microcirculation by up to 400% — accelerating tissue recovery and oxygen delivery.
Increases collagen synthesis and improves skin texture with regular treatment, reducing the appearance of dullness and fine lines.
Your practitioner discusses your goals, health history, and any contraindications. We assess the areas of concern and select the appropriate tools and pressure.
The treatment area is cleansed and a facial oil or body balm is applied to allow smooth tool movement without friction. This also nourishes the skin barrier.
Deliberate, rhythmic strokes are applied following the direction of lymphatic flow and muscle anatomy. Pressure and technique vary by area and your sensitivity. Sessions last 45–60 minutes.
You'll receive personalised aftercare advice: hydration guidance, what to expect in the 24–48 hours after, and a recommended treatment frequency for your goals.
