Because the material hardness of the horn is moderate, it is easy to make and shape, and the polished surface is smooth, suitable for scraping, and patients will not feel too much pain. In addition, it is elastic and tough, so it is more durable and will not be damaged by slight bumps.
Because it is made of biological materials, it contains natural fibers and pores. Usually, the scraping medium such as scraping oil or vaseline can be well adsorbed on the horn scraping plate, so that the medium can always adhere to it during scraping, which is convenient for operation. Of course, we should also pay attention to animal protection and other issues.
Precautions for scraper use:
1. When scraping, the scraper should make an angle of 60 or 90 with human skin. When scraping, first coat the medium on the scraper, and then take the operating part as the center, and expand its scope to the periphery as far as possible.
2. Apply a certain amount of lubricating oil, scraping oil or warm water when scraping. When scraping, the strength should be appropriate, and the scraper should be at a certain angle with the skin, and it should not be scraped hard. Keep warm and rest after shaving, and don't take a shower immediately.
3. Generally, the scraping time of each part is 3 to 5 minutes, and the longest time is no more than 20 minutes. Generally, the frequency of scraping is 3 ~ 5 days after the first scraping, and then the second scraping is carried out after scraping.
