I've NEVER seen bruising in the face. As a matter of fact, you're NOT supposed to use heavy touch when doing it on the face. Nor do we EVER use a coin or metall object here in Taiwan. The only time we have blood surfacing is when we do it on the body, mainly the back.
What do you use? Those tools are available in so many forms now, from jade, rose quarz, stainles steel.... mine is obsidian, based on my limited I’ll admit knowledge I choosed it because Ibthought being vulcanic glass will be smoother than semi-precious stones usually used, and won’t harbour bacteria. My main worry with metal/steel is potemtial interaction with products and/or rusting, and yea Iknow they say STAINLESS etc but you never know what’s really there.... so i pretty much choosen mine based on hygienic preferences i suppose, but would love to know what you usually traditionally use.
you may be confusing/conflating body gua sha with the one for the face. they are different and body coining does produce bruising etc but never for face!
If you’re bruising you’re applying way to much force. There should be redness that comes from increased blood flow but that should go away within minutes. Never perpendicular to the skin and ALWAYS use on oiled skin. Never on dry. There should be no tension. It should glide on the skin with little pressure.
If you have bruising you are going too hard. That level of pressure is usually reserved for moving cold out the body and breaking up stagnation in the limbs. Always apply proper moisture to reduce harm to skin but if you have severe acne it’s best to heal that first.
If you’re bruising you’re doing it wrong. The first time I tried a gun sha my face bruised but it’s because I was too heavy handed and didn’t do it right. Let’s stop limiting people from techniques that actually provide powerful solutions and start teaching people how to do it correctly.
Agree bruising isn’t common but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tell people of rare side effects. Personally I do it several times a week and have never gotten bruising 👍
It’s been a miracle for my TMJ and jaw clenching. I do 50% of the scraping on my neck particularly the sides and it’s made a complete difference when nothing else has
There’s NEVER bruising in the face! Your supposed to use medium to light pressure the only thing is your face will be red for about ten minutes that’s it though
It works if you know what you’re doing. The problem is most people don’t know what they’re doing 😅. A trained practitioner is best! If you want to try it at home, go GENTLE.

Oh gosh, I probably press more firmly than I should but thankfully no bruising, and if I did I think I’d look at my meds or get labs done to see why I’m bruising so easily. Definitely a 🚩
While the pressure from running it along your face would be effective as a massage, and the pressure would be beneficial for circulation, all the "electromagnetic waves magic" shit is not something to trust.

Im a teenager and i really really want a jawline this summer im also going to work on looking fit can i use a gua sha and if yes what type should i buy? Please help doc!!
It can help reduce puffiness in the face but there’s no way aside from surgery that will definitely lead to jaw definition. I use one from BaiMei from Amazon
I used Jade roller and Gua Sha for few days and i got the biggest and painfullest acne I've ever had. Is it for using it or not? I'm not quite sure. My skin is actually oily.
How is it a downside of less tmj or less head aches? That would be a benefit from somebody who actually suffers with super bad tmj to the point of needing braces
one sided mouth is sign of vax injury. the muscle asymetry could be part of the TMJ you mention. Also the breathing space in sinuses can cause tension while your body struggles to pull air
Your skin is FLAWLESS! Heads up, your jaw looks subluxated, being pulled to the right side of your jaw. This can definitely contribute to TMJ, and even headaches. Thought it was worth mentioning.
Honestly, and you wonder why majority of Asian look like they don’t age even in their 50-60’s even 70’s because of these thing that they do daily for years! Ppl do it for a month or so and think there’s no result but you have to do it for a very long time and it’ll benefits when you age
@nadiar.7788 Asians have 10 times more collgan than any other ethnicity. There is scientific fact that Asians are just born with more thicker skin and collegan in their skin doesn't break down fast.

Gua Sha can be done with a Gua Sha stone and if you're causing bruising, you are applying too much pressure!
It works well. I have used for nearly 2 months now.
Good facial muscle xx
Don't do this if you have rosacea. This is advice is from a licensed aesthetician. Why do anything that makes your face bruise? Not wise advice.
They are doing it wrong.
I've got rosacea but can i use gua sha only for the forehead and jawline? and not the cheeks cuz thats where i have pinkness
You only get bruising if you press too hard. You have to be gentle and with oil, moisturizer on the face.

Botox ne-ar recomanda mai repede👎...
Ăla nu distruge fața?
my mom used to do this to my dad on the back and I would be traumatized
Which one is the best? Jade or Rosenquarz? What should it cost for good quality because I heard the raw materials are very cheap...
I think the material doesn’t matter much. I use one made from Jade by BaiMei that’s 8-10$ USD
Oh gosh, I probably press more firmly than I should but thankfully no bruising, and if I did I think I’d look at my meds or get labs done to see why I’m bruising so easily. Definitely a 🚩
Can you use this method if you have rosacea?
Yes
Olive oil works? And how many mins I should use the. Gua sha
Typical session is about 5 minutes
Jojoba ( pronounced hohoba) works very well & is a very skin compatible oil. Now brand is good.
The downside is that it can decrease muscle soreness? How is that a downside?
It’s not - I must have misspoke. It’s made all the difference for my TMJ
The process affects muscle circulation so presumably post Well preformed gua you’ll notice the effects 😅the goal is to increase muscle circulation
Can i use anything to not make my skin dry? Like face moisturiser, conditioner, olive oil etc
Depends on how sensitive your skin is. Acne prone individuals can sometimes break out with heavy oil based moisturizers or coconut oil.
Do you have to add an oil or wet your face before
Yes add oil before
@@doctor-abbywhat oil do you recommend
Men have been doing this for thousands of years. We call it shaving.
I need to know how to do the Gua sha properly.
There are some videos online but I’d be happy to post one soon
@@doctor-abby thanks Doc!
Can we do it when having botox on the face ?
Yes
Can i use gua sha with coconut oil ? Hope u reply
Yes. I use a face oil but olive oil or coconut oil warmed up a little in your hand will work
@@doctor-abby I don't use any creams or any serums so can I use serum itself without cleanser and moisturizer
Do you have to use a metal one? What about a stone one?
Stone works 👍
Hiii!! Can i use gua sha everyday?
Yes

Is guasha better then the jade roller?
I think so
When my mom wants me to do the coin thing on her back im so scared cuase it looks so painful and it looks like bruises when im done 😮
How about that Botox?
I used Jade roller and Gua Sha for few days and i got the biggest and painfullest acne I've ever had. Is it for using it or not? I'm not quite sure. My skin is actually oily.
Unusual reaction. Did you use a new oil to do the Gua sha? Seems like that would be the most likely cause of the breakout
@@doctor-abby No I don't use oil on my face because it's already oily. I use moisturizer before gua Sha.
Can I use it on acne skin?
Yes but be careful pressing on deep cystic acne since it could make irritated
How is it a downside of less tmj or less head aches? That would be a benefit from somebody who actually suffers with super bad tmj to the point of needing braces
It’s not a downside. It’s a benefit
But you said downside ;) @@doctor-abby

Can i use gua sha only for forehead and jawline? also can i just use it with water and not any oil or serums?
Yes for just forhead and jawline. It’s best to use with an oil or something to lubricate the skin prior to work best
@@doctor-abby thankyou so much! also how about a drop of cleanser? is that equally effective?
@@purplemoon1507 never heard of using that but I think it would work

@@doctor-abbyAt what age can people use Gua shua and Jade Roller?
Why is decreasing myalgias a downside?
It’s an upside- I think it was a glitch in editing 🤦♀️
Did she say the " downside is decreasing soreness"?
Not sure why the editing makes sound like downside- definitely an upside 👍
Bruising?! You're doing it to rough & w/ too much pressure if you're bruising!
Just a light touch is all that's needed.
Is gua Sha the same as muscle scraping?
Yes
Why would she use the word SCRAPING your face. It is NOT scraping… dermatologist? Idkkkk…….
What word would you use to describe it?
Thanks for saying this. As I experienced some bruising.
You shouldn’t be using enough pressure to bruise with facial massage
Linear bruising is BAD. So, gua sha doesn't make your skin or your facial contours look younger. Thank you!
Your skin is FLAWLESS! Heads up, your jaw looks subluxated, being pulled to the right side of your jaw. This can definitely contribute to TMJ, and even headaches. Thought it was worth mentioning.
Thanks. I’m sure it is. How do I fix this?
@@doctor-abbya chiropractor might help
What oil is suitable for before using Gua Sha?
Most oils can be used but squalane is a key ingredient to look for. I like the one “prevent” by naked and thriving
@@doctor-abby thanks
Did you say a downside is reducing tmj? Did you mean to say an upside???? Or does it make TMJ worse? Pretty big distinction for anyone with TMJ…
It’s the upside! Works great to improve TMJ
@@doctor-abby I would love some TMJ relief, that makes me even more motivated to use it!!
But is it effective to get a sharper Jawline?
Unknown based on research but anecdotally many people feel it’s changed their jawline
Bruising & metal coins...oh geez
gua sha use with vitamin c serum?
You can. Or a face oil. I use one by naked and thriving that I like a lot
so that not good ?
It works 👍
If you bruise, you're doing it wrong. Why comment on something you've clearly never done or experienced??
I do Gua sha many times a week. I’ve never bruised
I used gua sha and after a few minutes my face started itching and my eyes became swollen and started burning what should I do to depuff my eyes?
Hmm. Sounds like it could be allergy (urticaria) but hard to know for sure. Urticaria treatment is an antihistamine like Zyrtec
