PRECAUTIONS TO READ

 

 

As cupping is a relatively non-invasive technique you generally don’t have much to worry about with it. However have some common sense  and follow some rules to avoid negative results in cupping.

• If you have any medical condition, consult your doctor prior taking any of cupping treatment

• During the first couple of weeks of using the dermaCups apply a very light suction to provide some drainage until your skin becomes elasticized enough. The massage should not be painful, squeeze the cup so it is comfortable for you, and increase the suction gradually to stimulate circulation, remove stagnation and loosen adhesion

• After massaging the area with the DermaCup ,drain the area by moving the cup upwards toward the nearest lymph nodes

• Application of essential oil blends or slimming gels immediately after the cupping will enable the absorption of the product deep into the tissue

• Keep warm and do not use water after cupping treatment

• Start with massaging the treated area to warm up and prepare skin and muscles for cupping massage, stationary or flash cupping

• Avoid cupping the areas of lymphatic nodes such as inner thighs, under knees n bikini to avoid interference of lymph drainage flow.

• Avoid cupping the area of varicose veins and thrombophlebitis

• Very light suction should be used on spider veins and stretch marks
