Frequently asked
Common questions.
How often should I use gua sha?
Daily for visible results in 12 weeks. 3× weekly for maintenance. Once a week is too sparse.
Will gua sha cause bruising?
On the face, no, with proper pressure. Body gua sha can intentionally bruise (sha) — different practice.
Should I use gua sha with oil?
Yes. Apply face oil first; gua sha glides without dragging. Without oil, you risk damaging skin.
Does gua sha actually work?
Yes for jaw definition (lymphatic), short-term puffiness reduction, and circulation. Weak evidence for long-term anti-aging benefits.
