If you feel any pain, please inform the TCM Practitioner, and they can adjust the pressure or technique to ensure your comfort.

Scalp Scraping typically does not have negative effects on hair. It can promote blood circulation and nutrient supply to the scalp, aiding in healthy hair growth.

While some simple scalp massages can be done by oneself, more in-depth Scalp Scraping, commonly known as Scalp Gua Sha, is generally recommended to be performed by a trained TCM practitioner. They possess the necessary knowledge and skills to provide appropriate treatment based on your condition and needs.
