This is my kansa wand. While I use it all over my face and neck, I especially like to de-puff my under chin area.

- FAQ's

The Kansa is an ancient, 5000-year-old facial technique that uses a deep tissue massage tool with a special bronze dome sitting on top of a 100% teak wooded handle.

According to Ayurveda medicine, this bell metal, deep tissue massage tool offers many healing and anti-aging effects on facial skin. And, it can be used anytime, in the comfort of your home.

Ayurveda is a natural holistic medicine that originated over 5,000 years ago in India. Its principles believe that disease or malfunction is because of an imbalance within the body.

In India, bronze is considered a healing metal. Once the bronze dome makes contact with the skin, which has been coated with a good quality face oil, it warms up as it glides so smoothly across the face.

Studies show that the bronze and copper metals (called bell metal) on the top of this tool provide skin health and detoxifying benefits.

What does Kansa wand do: Benefits

According to the company, a Kansa face massage offers many anti-aging benefits for healthy looking skin, including:

lymphatic drainage
reduce puffiness
relaxes facial muscles for a more uplifted look
balances skin's pH
increases blood circulation
helps calm irritation and redness
gives skin a beautiful glow

But instead of using your fingers and hands, which can tire quickly, you can give yourself a deeper massage easily with this tool.

This helps relax tight muscles, which softens your facial appearance, firms the skin… all contributing to a more relaxed, smooth, up-lifted appearance.

And, the face oils help smooth and hydrated parched skin.

I know how effective facial exercises and massages are for a firmer, smoother face and neck.

I've been doing them for years – you can see my before and after results here…

Kansa Wand vs. Gua Sha vs. Rollers

How does the Kansa wand differ from the gua sha or facial rollers?

Well, they all can help encourage lymphatic drainage from the face and neck, but they're not equal in terms of results.

Of the three (Kansa wand, gua sha, and jade roller), the roller is the least effective.

Jade Roller:

Because of its small cylinder shape, the roller cannot get in and around the various curves of the facial muscles, so it's not able to effectively encourage drainage and depuff the face and eyes.

Gua Sha:

The gua sha is more effective than the roller because of its curved shape.
The smooth, flat edge can "scrape" the skin and stimulate muscle tone and encourage fluid drainage.
And, this heated, electric vibrating face massage gua sha makes for a comforting face massage.

Kansa Wand:

The kansa wand tool has a smooth, rounded copper head that can get in and around all the muscles of the face and neck.
Important Benefit: You can apply deep pressure to stimulate and firm facial muscles and encourage more draining. And unlike the gua sha, it doesn't hurt.
The copper dome is naturally anti-microbial and helps balance the skin's pH, reduce inflammation, sensitivity, excess oil and premature aging.
The Kansa wand is comfortable to hold. It has a smooth, long wooden handle, so your hands won't cramp or tire easily.

NOTE: Some people see a slight graying film over the skin after your first few massages. The gray film is because of a chemical reaction with high acid skin content. It washes right off, and the more you use it – the less it happens.

Kansa wand is not a hoax: Here is what you can expect

During and right after your facial massage, you may see a graying film on the skin. According to the company, this is a sign that it's working to help balance your skin's pH level and detoxify your skin.

Simply rinse your face with a washcloth to remove the film after each massage session. Over time, with regular use, you'll see less film.

Immediately, after a massage, most people report less puffiness around the eyes and jowls/jaw bone, smoother skin with a warm rosy glow.

How does the Kansa tool help with wrinkles?

When your face holds a lot of tension and stress, it causes the muscles to tighten and contract, thus pulling the face downward, and exaggerating (and forming) lines and folds.

This is one reason why Botox is so popular, it keeps the face looking more relaxed.

Most people, including myself, found that the face looks more relaxed and lifted after using this Ayurvedic massage tool.

This type of massaging tool has been used in India for centuries to promote healthy skin and reduce stress because it stimulates pressure receptors located under the skin, reducing stress hormones.

A powerful Ayurvedic facial tool that's easy to use

Giving yourself a good anti-aging face massage can be tiring on your hands, especially if you have issues like arthritis.

But what I like about it is the shape of the smooth wood handle, and the round bronze dome makes it easy to glide across the face and get a good massage.

This is especially important when you're trying to reduce stress or tension around your forehead, in between the eyebrows (where we hold a lot of tension) and around the eyes and temples.

How to use the Kansa wand

Here's a great video showing a sample of a face massage technique along with Ayurvedic tips for glowing skin.

Note: You don't have to follow any specific massage technique with the Kansa massager. Feel free to use it anyway that works and feels best for you. Simple massage the forehead, cheekbones, jawbone, and neck for about 10 to 20 minutes a few times a week, as desired.

Kansa Wand is the best face massage tool for deep tissue massage.

Just dab some organic face oil all over your face and neck. Any good quality face oil will do like this one. Or this Black Gram Oil that helps lighten skin tone and discoloration.

Place the bronze dome on your forehead and, with moderate pressure, massage back and forth across your forehead (concentrate on the forehead wrinkles). Make sure to get in between the eyebrows, where we hold a lot of tension.
Then, starting with one side of your face, massage the temple and crow's feet area in small circles.

Then slide the copper dome all around the orbital bone of one eye. Massage around the orbital eye bone a few times.

Move to the nose and slide from the nose out towards the temple and ears.

Continue moving down to the nasal labial folds and mouth and out across the cheeks out toward the ears.
Glide it back and forth a few times along the entire jaw bone.

Then be sure to massage across the whole double chin area and

Then up and down your neck.

Repeat on the other side of the face. Don't forget to massage the crepey skin on your chest too...

Side effects - Kansa wand greying effect

There is a common aftereffect called the "graying effect". This is when your skin is left with a slight grayish tint after a massage therapy.

This is common, and according to the company, this is caused by a chemical reaction between the acid level in your skin and the copper metal dome. You simply wipe the tint off with a wet cloth.

Many people say the more often they use it, the less often this tint shows up.

Note: If you have sensitive skin or issues with dermatitis or acne, try the Kansa wand massage on a small area first to gauge how your skin will react.

Kansa Wand - FAQ's

If you don't find the answer to your question below, feel free to contact me.

Q: What is the kansa wand graying effect?

A: This is a chemical reaction between the high acid on your skin and the pH balance effect of the copper dome head of the wand. After the first few times you use the wand, you may notice a slight gray film over your skin. This film washes right off, and you'll see less of this film, the more you use kansa wand.

Q: How often should you use a Kansa wand?

A: I try to use it at least once a week or if I'm stressed and look tired. However, you can use it as often as you like.

Q: What does a Kansa wand do?

A: It helps reduce tension in the face which helps reduce appearance of lines and wrinkles. It also helps de-puff and sculpt your whole face and neck – defining your facial contours. You can learn more about sculpting your face here...

Q: Which is better gua sha or Kansa wand?

A: Personally, I like the wand because I can apply deep muscle stimulating pressure, but if I try that with the gua sha hurts too much.

However, they're both good for your face in different ways. A good quality gua sha offers heating, vibrating, microcurrent, red-light therapy. Where the Kansa wand helps provides more benefits in terms of muscle simulation and lymphatic drainage.

Q: How do you clean a kansa wand after use?

A: I usually just wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use. You can also dip the metal dome into a bowl of mild-soapy water and rinse& dry well. Do not clean the wooden handle, just the metal dome.

Q: Which oil is best for kansa wand?

A: Any good quality oil that can be used on your face will work. Coconut or jojoba oil.

If you find these oils are too heavy for your skin, clogs your pores or causes breakouts, consider using oils designed specifically for the face.

Look for 100% natural oil essence extracted from plants that naturally contain anti-aging, anti-oxidant ingredients like rosehip seed oil or cypress leaf oil.
