How often can I get gua sha?

You can have another gua sha after the disappearance of the redness from the previous treatment, which usually takes 3-5 days.

What should I do after gua sha?

Similar to cupping and moxibustion, you should keep warm and avoid exposure to wind or cold, wait at least 4 hours before showering and use warm water, drink a glass of warm or room temperature water, and rest for a few hours.

Gua sha is an ancient technique that uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape lubricated skin along the body to produce a reddish patch of skin. The strokes may leave a temporary reddish patch on the skin.

It can be added to an acupuncture or massage session, or booked with infrared light. Take it as an add-on to an acupuncture or massage session, or book it standalone with infrared light.
