Cupping uses controlled suction on the skin and soft tissues. It is discussed first so you understand the process, possible marks and whether it appears suitable for you.
The method, pressure level, expected sensations and likely skin marks are explained before treatment begins.
We review relevant health history, medicines, skin sensitivity and comfort before deciding whether cupping is appropriate.
You receive practical aftercare advice, including what skin changes may look like and when to seek further advice.
Cupping may be used as a standalone appointment or as part of a wider acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine consultation where appropriate. Cups are placed with controlled suction and may be left in place briefly or moved gently across an area.
Cupping commonly leaves temporary circular marks. These are discussed before treatment so you can make an informed choice, especially if you have an event, work commitment or skin concern.
If symptoms are new, severe, persistent, unexplained or may require diagnosis, you should seek advice from your GP, NHS 111, urgent care or emergency services as appropriate. This page does not claim that cupping treats or prevents named medical conditions.
Includes suitability discussion, consent, controlled suction treatment and aftercare guidance.
