3. Pressure: The handheld massage gun adopts high-speed vibration method, which is transmitted layer by layer from the skin to the fat to the fascia, and finally reaches the deep layer of the muscle. The force should not be too strong, because the skin is the first point of force, so when the high-speed vibration is applied, it is easy to cause bruises, redness and swelling of the epidermal tissue, and even slight tears in severe cases. All it takes is to start with light pressure and gradually increase the pressure according to your comfort level, moving up and down, side to side, around the area you want to massage.
