Cupping Massage

Cupping massage combines soft-tissue manipulation with localized negative pressure created by specialized massage cups applied to the skin.

Cupping massage is based on localized negative pressure applied to the skin and superficial soft tissues. It should be distinguished from wet cupping: standard cupping massage does not break the skin. At Ahvar Clinic, vacuum intensity and treatment duration are individualized.

What it addresses / benefits

  • localized soft-tissue treatment
  • combination of vacuum and massage techniques
  • treatment of selected areas
  • relaxing effect for some patients
  • individualized vacuum intensity.

Preparation

The skin should not have significant damage or active inflammation. Patients should report vascular disease, bleeding disorders, and use of anticoagulant medication.

How the procedure is performed

Special cups are applied to the skin to create negative pressure. They may remain stationary or be moved across the skin by the specialist.

Result / recovery

Temporary red or purple marks and skin sensitivity may remain after the procedure.
