Cupping therapy is believed to provide benefits such as improved circulation, pain relief, relaxation, detoxification, and enhanced immune function. It can also help with conditions like muscle soreness, stress, and respiratory issues.

Yes, there are various types of cupping therapy including dry cupping (traditional), wet cupping (where slight incisions are made before applying cups), and fire cupping (using fire to create suction).

The number of sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response. Some people may experience benefits after just one session, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

Side effects may include temporary skin discoloration (bruising), mild discomfort, or rare instances of burns (with fire cupping). These effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days.

Cupping therapy may not be suitable for pregnant women, individuals with certain skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis), or those with bleeding disorders. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing cupping therapy.

When performed by a trained and qualified practitioner like Dermecare’s, cupping therapy is generally considered safe. It's essential to ensure proper hygiene and technique to minimize any risks.

Cupping therapy is believed to aid in detoxification by enhancing circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can help remove toxins from the body. Proper hydration and a healthy diet are recommended to support the detox process.

Prepare by hydrating well, eating a light meal, and wearing comfortable clothing. Avoid caffeine and alcohol before the session. Discuss any health concerns or medications with your therapist beforehand.
