Is it good to frequently perform gua sha on the face?
Disease description:
My girlfriend saw an advertisement claiming that facial gua sha can slim the face, so she does it every day. But I think doing gua sha daily isn't good. Is it okay to perform facial gua sha frequently?

It's not advisable to perform gua sha on the face frequently. After facial gua sha, spots may appear and usually take about a week to fade before the next session should be done. Facial gua sha generally does not recommend producing sha (petechiae), as facial muscles are relatively sensitive. It is recommended to perform gua sha once or twice a month. Also, avoid repeatedly scraping the same area in one session, as this may cause fatigue.
