Copper is perfect for body gua sha due to the metals antibacterial properties and trace minerals which support collagen production, reduce inflammation and boost skin elasticity.
What does the serrated edge do?
The teeth-like edge creates micro-circulations in the skin through small, controlled “scuffs” that encourage blood flow to come up to the surface. This improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the area accelerating healing and rejuvenation of the skin and underlying tissues.
What are the advantages of serration?
The serrated edge is ideal for deeper, more intense treatments that target specific issues like myofascial release massage, weight reduction, and cellulite or crepey skin.
Is redness normal?
Yes it’s totally normal! The sha in gua sha means ‘flush’. However if you feel any pain or discomfort when using the tool please stop immediately.
Why is being over 60 a contraindication?
The over 60 warning is just a guideline for customers to be mindful of their own medical situation. Really, it is simply because over a certain age, the likelihood of having health issues can increase. As we are unable to see all customers personally, we advise them to check with a GP just to be on the safe side if they are at all in doubt as we are unable to accept legal responsibility for self-treatment. The vast majority of people will be absolutely fine using any of our products if they follow Katie’s routines and techniques and, as always, begin gently so that they can get used to the tool.
