Once a closely guarded tradition in East Asia, gua sha is now enjoying a global wellness revival—but with a modern twist. Known for its ability to promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, and sculpt facial features, gua sha is more than a beauty trend. And with the introduction of smart tools, it’s becoming a powerful, tech-enhanced therapy.
In this article, we’ll explore the ancient origins of gua sha, what makes modern devices like the RelaxRiser™ AcheFly SmartTherm revolutionary, and how to safely integrate gua sha into your skincare and wellness routine.
What Is Gua Sha and Where Did It Come From?
Gua sha (pronounced gwa-shah) originated in Traditional Chinese Medicine and involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to release stagnation and encourage blood flow. Historically, it was used to treat everything from fevers to fatigue to muscle stiffness.
Modern studies, including one in Pain Medicine, confirm gua sha's ability to relieve pain and improve circulation, especially in the neck and upper back.

Modern Gua Sha Tools: What’s New?
Traditional gua sha tools were made of jade or horn. Today’s advanced versions, like the RelaxRiser™ AcheFly SmartTherm, include added features that amplify the therapy:
• Heated scraping edge to soften fascia
• Red light therapy to promote skin rejuvenation
• Integrated suction for deeper tissue work
• Portable and rechargeable design
These upgrades make it easier to integrate gua sha into your everyday life—whether for facial sculpting, muscle recovery, or daily relaxation.
How Gua Sha Supports Lymphatic Drainage and Circulation
By gently pulling the skin in upward or outward motions, gua sha stimulates the lymphatic system. This helps remove excess fluid, reduce puffiness, and clear toxins—especially beneficial for the face, jawline, neck, and under-eyes.
It also improves blood circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the skin and underlying tissues, which can reduce dullness and support collagen production.
How to Use Gua Sha at Home (Safely)
1. Start with clean skin and apply facial oil or serum
2. Use gentle upward strokes along the jaw, cheekbones, and neck
3. Repeat each movement 5–10 times per area
4. Clean your tool and hydrate afterward
5. Use 3–4 times per week for best results
Tip: For body use, increase pressure slightly and focus on traps, shoulders, or thighs.
