A cupping mark is NOT a bruise. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the red circles / marks after cupping are a result of impurities / toxins being released from the body, towards the surface to be eliminated.✨
Cupping massage is an ancient technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine which significantly accelerates blood and lymph flow, leading to faster cell regeneration, increased collagen and elastin production, and thus, skin elasticity and radiance. ✨
As a result of this exceptional circulation, skin discoloration that looks like a “bruise” may appear in the area, but it is not actually a bruise. The red spots that appear on the skin cannot be called bruises because there was no impact or tissue and capillary damage causing blood to leak.
Various colours of marks can appear on the skin after cupping, each with a different meaning. Swipe right to learn more about them. ✨
👉If there is no stagnation and toxins in the body, there will be no cupping marks. If they do appear, wait 3 to 4 days for them to disappear before continuing with cupping therapy.
👉Marks are more common on the body because the cupping technique is stronger there, and also because the cup stays on the same area for a longer time. On the face, the cup must be constantly moving. Therefore, with the right technique & pressure, Facial Cupping should’t cause any cupping marks.
