How to use the fascia gun to be effective

I don’t know since when, the fascia gun exploded out of the circle, not only fitness experts and celebrities are using it, but even office workers and square dance aunts regard it as a “relaxation artifact”.
The fascia gun was once labeled with various labels such as “relaxing muscles, relieving fatigue”, “weight loss and shaping, burning fat”, “relieving cervical vertebrae, treating diseases” and so on.
So is the fascia gun useful? Can anyone use it for relaxation?

Fascia is the white filamentous part of the muscle. There may be fascia in the muscles and tendon tissues of the whole body. The fascia gun mainly targets the myofascia, not just the fascia. The fascia gun is a soft tissue rehabilitation tool. It relaxes the soft tissue of the body through high-frequency vibration, which can relax muscles, reduce local tissue tension, and promote blood circulation.
