Medical News Today – Gua-Sha practitioners should not break the skin during the treatment. Broken skin increases the possibility of infection, so a Gua-Sha practitioner should always sterilize their tools between treatments. Gua-Sha is not suitable for everybody. People who should not have Gua-Sha include those who have medical conditions affecting the skin or veins, who bleed easily, take medication to thin their blood, who have deep vein thrombosis, infection, tumor, or wounds, implants such as a pacemaker or internal defibrillator.
