Cupping is a body treatment that uses special cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. Instead of pressing down on the muscles the way a traditional massage does, cupping lifts the skin and the underlying soft tissue and fascia upward. The cups can be left in place or glided across the skin. Many clients choose body cupping to relax tight areas, feel looser, and support circulation in the treated area. At Lana Med Spa, cupping is one of the body treatments we offer, and it can be paired with other services such as LPG Endermologie.
Cupping may be a good fit for adults who feel tightness or tension in areas such as the back, shoulders, or legs, or who are looking for a relaxing body treatment as part of their wellness routine. Clients who are working on body contouring goals sometimes include cupping alongside treatments listed on our stubborn body fat page.
Cupping is not recommended over broken, irritated, or sunburned skin, or over areas with active skin conditions. Please tell us if you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have a bleeding or clotting disorder, have a heart condition, or have any other medical concerns, so we can determine whether cupping is appropriate for you.
Your session begins with a short conversation about the areas you would like to focus on and any health considerations. Your provider then places the cups on the treatment area and adjusts the suction to a level that feels comfortable. You will feel a pulling or tight sensation, but cupping should not be painful; let your provider know at any time if you would like the pressure adjusted.
It is common for cupping to leave round marks on the skin where the cups were placed. These marks are different from a typical bruise, are usually not tender, and generally fade within several days to about a week. If you have an event coming up, plan your session timing with this in mind.
After your session, drink plenty of water and give your body time to rest. Avoid very hot showers, saunas, intense workouts, and direct sun on the treated area for the rest of the day, and keep the area covered and warm if you head outdoors. Mild soreness similar to the feeling after a deep massage can happen and usually passes quickly.
Cupping creates a pulling sensation rather than pain. Your provider will adjust the suction so you stay comfortable throughout the session.
The circular marks usually fade within several days to about a week. How visible they are can vary from person to person and session to session.
Your provider will recommend a schedule based on how your body responds and your goals. Marks from a previous session should fade before the same area is treated again.
Yes. Cupping is often paired with other body or relaxation services, such as myofascial relief. We can help you plan a combination that fits your goals.
