Is there any benefit of Gua Sha in removing melasma?

Gua sha offers certain benefits in removing melasma. By stimulating facial meridians and skin, Gua sha can improve circulation of blood and qi, achieving effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and unblocking meridians, thus enhancing local blood circulation and helping improve uneven skin tone and fade pigmentation. In addition, Gua sha can enhance the skin's self-repair capability and resistance, reinforcing the pigmentation removal effects. However, it should be noted that Gua sha alone cannot completely cure melasma, and its effectiveness may vary among individuals. For treatment of melasma, it is recommended to combine individual conditions and adopt comprehensive therapeutic measures under the guidance of qualified healthcare professionals. Meanwhile, maintaining healthy lifestyle and dietary habits also constitutes an important measure in preventing and alleviating melasma.
