After treatment, it is very common for red or purple circles to be left on the back. These are not bruises, they are just a result of drawing blood to the surface. These marks fade within 3 – 7 days. Please consult you doctor or healthcare provider to discuss whether this treatment is right for you.
Gua Sha massage is also used during this treatment on areas that are too sensitive to use cupping.
