Ever wondered what your cupping marks are telling you?
From light pink to deep purple, cupping can leave behind a variety of colours and no two bodies respond exactly the same!
Here’s what you should know:
Cupping uses gentle suction to increase local blood flow and stimulate the tissues. Those circular marks are a normal response to the treatment and can vary in colour and intensity.
Darker doesn’t necessarily mean more tension, more toxins, or a better treatment! Mark colours can be influenced by suction strength, treatment duration, skin sensitivity, and individual response.
The best part? Those marks are temporary and fade naturally over several days.
