💗Cupping marks can vary from person to
person and they can give us a glimpse as to what’s happening inside.
💓These charts show how cupping marks may appear on melanated skin and lighter skin tones. The same treatment can look completely different depending on skin tone, circulation, tissue response, and overall health.
💓When reading cupping marks we also look at more
than just color. We take into consideration:
💞texture
💞swelling
💞tenderness
💞how quickly the marks fade
💞the whole clinical picture
Color alone doesn’t always tell the full story.
💓Color and texture are educational references and not diagnostic on their own.
