Will scraping therapy for slimming legs cause them to first appear thicker before becoming slimmer?
Disease description:
A friend told me that gua sha can help slim the legs, but after I tried it, I found my legs getting thicker instead. So I'd like to ask: does gua sha for leg slimming cause temporary thickening before becoming slimmer?

Guasha for slimming legs generally does not result in the phenomenon of initial thickening followed by slimming. Guasha can promote local blood circulation, but its effect on leg slimming is not particularly significant. In some cases, legs may appear to become thicker after guasha; therefore, guasha for slimming legs usually does not involve a phase of first getting thicker and then becoming slimmer. If patients wish to slim their legs, they can seek improvement through liposuction at a正规 medical institution.
