Don’t confuse the marks with “toxins” coming up. Here’s what’s actually happening…
Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the skin and create negative pressure. That can increase local blood flow and help tight areas feel lighter, looser, and less “stuck.”
It’s not “pulling toxins out”, the marks are a normal response of the skin/capillaries to suction, and they usually fade over time.
If you’re carrying that neck/shoulder desk-day tension, this can be a great reset alongside mobility + strength work.
✅ Keep it gentle
✅ Stay in a pain-free zone
⚠️ Not for everyone: avoid if pregnant or if you have anaemia, bleeding/clotting disorders, certain heart conditions, eczema/psoriasis flare, pacemaker, etc. (and always go to a trained pro).
