Users can adjust the vibration intensity from 1 to 9 and choose from these settings based on their needs.

How does vibration therapy enhance the Gua Sha process?

Vibration therapy helps break up facial tension more effectively than traditional Gua Sha, especially for areas like the jawline where people often hold stress. The vibration also enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage, making the Gua Sha treatment more impactful in reducing inflammation and tension.

How often does Trina recommend using the Gua Sha tool?

Trina recommends using the Gua Sha tool two to three times a week for regular facial massage. However, if you have a high degree of facial tension, like Trina, you may want to use it daily for the best results.

What kind of products does Trina use with the *Mesama* Gua Sha tool?

Trina uses a facial spray, like Iris and Romeo's facial mist, followed by a serum and facial oil to ensure there is enough slip for the device to glide smoothly over the skin. These products help prevent tugging on the skin and enhance the overall effectiveness of the Gua Sha treatment.

What is the best direction to use the Gua Sha tool on the neck?

When using the Gua Sha tool on the neck, you can work from bottom to top for anti-aging benefits, or top to bottom to promote lymphatic drainage. If you have swollen lymph nodes or lymphedema, it's best to use the top-to-bottom method to support lymphatic flow.
