A smart cupping massager uses suction against the skin and may also include warmth. For a first session, the best approach is conservative and deliberate.
Read the instructions first
Check placement guidance, controls, duration, warnings and cleaning instructions before switching the device on.
Choose an appropriate area
Avoid broken, irritated, infected or injured skin and any areas excluded by the product guidance.
Begin with low suction
Suction can feel stronger than expected. Start gently and do not assume maximum intensity provides a better experience.
Expect temporary marks to be possible
Suction can cause temporary circular redness or marks. Stop if you experience significant pain, blistering, skin injury or another concerning reaction.
Use heat conservatively
If your device includes warmth, choose a comfortable setting rather than treating heat as a challenge.
Important
People with relevant medical conditions, bleeding or clotting concerns, impaired sensation, or medications that affect bleeding should seek appropriate professional advice before using suction-based devices.
