TLDR Using hibiscus oil with Gua-sha improves eyebrow hair growth more than hibiscus oil alone.
This study assessed the effectiveness of 5% hibiscus oil with and without Gua-sha for eyebrow rejuvenation in 22 participants. The combination of hibiscus oil and Gua-sha significantly improved eyebrow hair texture and density, enhancing patient confidence and self-esteem. Gua-sha increased microcirculation, contributing to thicker and stronger hair growth, with significant improvements in hair density and microcirculation (P < 0.001) after 30 days. The study suggests natural products like hibiscus oil can reduce side effects of synthetic treatments, but acknowledges limitations such as a small sample size and the need for more extensive trials.
