Kansa Wands Facial Massage
Kansa Wands Facial Massage
A Kansa Wand facial is a skincare treatment rooted in Ayurvedic practices, featuring the use of a Kansa Wand - a tool made from a blend of metals, including copper, tin, and zinc. During the facial, the Kansa Wand is gently massaged over the face and neck, aiming to balance the body’s energies and promote relaxation.
The metals in the wand are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, contributing to a potential rejuvenating effect on the skin. The treatment also incorporates principles of lymphatic drainage, helping reduce puffiness, and offers a calming massage experience. Overall, the Kansa Wand facial is intended to provide a holistic and therapeutic approach to skincare and well-being.
The Treatment
Please note that a small part of this therapy includes treatment of the marma points on the back and so clients will need to remove clothing from the top part of their body. Towels will be used to cover you full during the treatment.
The Kansa Wands Facial begins with a cleanse, double cleanse and then exfoliate before a massage both with the hands and fingers and then the Kansa wands is performed.
Towards the end of the treatment, you will be asked to turn onto your front so that the marma points on the back, around the shoulder area can then be treated, before finally returning to your back before the treatment comes to a close.

Before and After your Treatment
Here is some guidance on what to do to prepare for your treatment along with what you can expect after the treatment too
Pre-Treatment Guidance
- Try to avoid eating a large meal at least 1 hour before your treatment. Please also refrain from consuming alcohol or using other substances before any treatment or therapy.
- Arrive on time. This insures that you don’t arrive flustered and stressed. It also means that you will get the most out of your treatment. We ask all clients to arrive 10-15 minutes before their treatment is due to begin.
- Talk to your therapist. If you are concerned or anxious about anything to do with your treatment let us know. We want to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed.
- We ask our clients to ensure they arrive clean and ready for their treatment. If you are coming straight from work or the gym, please let us know and we can arrange for the use of our shower facilities before the treatment. (A surcharge will apply).
- All new clients will need to complete a full medical and lifestyle questionnaire before their treatment. All existing clients will need to complete a treatment record card before any subsequent treatments. This is to ensure we can provide you with the best possible care and to comply with our insurance policies.
- Please wear loose comfortable clothing and appropriate underwear. For any spa treatments, a robe will be provided for your comfort.
Treatment Consultation
Everyone client has to complete a medical and lifestyle questionaire on their first visit - we ask you to arrive early (approximately 20 minutes) to allow you time to complete this in our relaxation area. On every subsequent visit you will be asked to confirm that none of the details have changed. This is primarily for your protection and to ensure we are aware of any contra-indications before providing tretment. It is also a requirment of our insurers.
Treatment Aftercare
- Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins; massage aids the removal of toxins from the body
- Coffee, tea and cola should be avoided as they contain caffeine. Aim to drink two glasses of water after each drink of tea or coffee if not. Or try to drink herbal infusions in place of tea or coffee
- Avoid any headache tablets as these too contain caffeine
- Avoid eating a heavy meal. Eat a light and natural diet, as refined and processed foods add to the toxicity levels within the body and hinder the natural healing process
- Do not smoke or drink alcohol for the next 24 hours. Alcohol and smoking are counter-productive as they increase the levels of toxins in the body.

- Heightened emotional state - feeling a little emotional, perhaps even tearful
