How is Cupping treatment done?
During cupping therapy:
​
-
A practitioner creates suction in glass or silicone cups by heating them or using a vacuum pump.
-
The cups are then quickly placed on the skin, often on specific acupuncture points or areas of tension.
-
The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissue upward into the cup, creating a vacuum effect.
-
The cups may remain stationary or be moved across the skin in a gliding motion.
-
After a few minutes, the cups are removed, leaving temporary circular marks on the skin known as "cupping marks."
​
The process is typically painless and can vary in intensity depending on the individual's tolerance and the technique used by the practitioner.
