It can only be used on muscles for muscle pain.
Fat reduction can only be done by exercise and dieting.
Massage will give temporary relief, it can not treat the cause.
Health Tips
For proper muscle and/joint pain, consult a physio and for weight reduction, consult a dietician.

Massage guns cant be used for reducing fat, and never use if suffering with joint pains.
It is only used for light muscle pain depending on body parts.
Do not use it over joints, it wont work for reducing fat, if having severe pain, it should not be used.

It's risky as you could hurt yourself doing it. This could happen when you overdo it at a certain area or you are not sure of the spots to be addressed.
