i get rid of scale with a generic cooking spray like pam. it smothers the scale very well. it's possible that it will lose leaves but they will come back.
Brown scale is the adult form. You need to treat when you see the fleshy greenish young ones. Also I would use some of the oils that are available at your garden shop. You need to stay on them as they can be very hard to eliminate. I would remove leaves with heavy infestations then treat.
