Premium Vacuum Cupping Set

Traditional cupping treatment has a long history in Chinese culture as an effective way to assist the body to rid itself of toxins and disease.  The Dr Kez Chirolab® Premium Vacuum Cupping Set integrates both modern technology and this traditional modality by featuring an easy to use cupping set designed to give the same professional results from the privacy and comfort of your own home.  Our Premium Cupping Set makes this more affordable and accessible for the wider community looking to incorporate this modality and add to their health accessories.

Our Premium Vacuum Cupping Set is an effective alternative to the traditional fire style glass cupping technique with a vacuum phenomenon that gives the user far more control over the pressure to be exerted by each individual cup.  The premium-grade plastic cups prevent unnecessary breakage, are lightweight for portability, easy to clean and allow for the addition of magnets to enhance the benefits of each and every session. 

Research has shown that Cupping may be beneficial for improving blood flow, helping to decrease pain and aims at reducing inflammation to the local and surrounding tissues. 

In clinical practice, Dr Kez (Chiropractor) chooses to use cupping as part of the recovery plan on her patients when they need help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, break down muscular adhesions and when they could benefit from assistance to help reduce discomfort in the body and to encourage the detoxification process.

Traditionally cupping was used to increase blood flow and aid in the detoxification process to promote healing from various diseases.  Over the years of using this modality, we have discovered the physical benefits of drawing the superficial layer of muscle into the cup to break up adhesions between muscle layers and the underlying boney structures like the ribs.  The increased circulation helps relieve muscle tension, increases cellular repair and aids in regeneration.  When used in conjunction with the magnetic tips this enhanced circulation and repair process may be significantly enhanced.

Who Can Use the Dr Kez Chirolab® Premium Vacuum Cupping Set 🧐

Cupping is indicated for both those that are healthy (rejuvenation, energy and anti-aging) as well as those with ailments.  Generally speaking, those under the age of 60 may tolerate vacuum cupping quite well. When treating those over the age of 60, and in particular over the age of 70, more attention has to be directed towards the skin condition. 

Localised areas that benefit from cupping include headaches, discomfort in the neck, back, knee, shoulder and elbow etc.  Systemic complaints that have seen benefits with cupping can include high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, mental health disorders, heart disease and infections.  Some users also find benefits with skin, digestive, reproductive and allergy conditions.

Instruction Manual

Apply the Dr Kez Chirolab® RESTORE Massage Oil to the area you'll be treating or wipe oil on the bottom of each cup individually. Connect the cup (and extension tubing if you are using it) and pump together and place the cup on the appropriate part of the body. Draw the handle to withdraw some air from the cup. Sometimes only a small squeeze is necessary. Remove from handle/extension tube, leaving the cup attached to the skin by the vacuum pressure created. After the desired elapsed time (usually 3-20 minutes depending on the body area), simply release the pressure in the cup by pulling up on the cup's valve to release the vacuum and using a finger at the base of the cup to help release the skin. Always use this method to release the cup gently (rather than pulling it away suddenly) to prevent skin damage.

Is vacuum cupping safe?

The majority of practitioners agree that cupping is safe. As long as you don’t mind the ‘cupping kisses’ (bruises) that go along with it! They fade over time and the benefits far outweigh any round circles on the skin 😆. Side effects tend to be limited to the pinch experienced during skin suction.

Does cupping cause bruising and what do dark cupping/bruising marks mean?

Cupping typically leaves round bruises on a person's skin, where blood vessels burst after exposure to the suction effects. The red marks are a result of the blood being pulled into that area. The darker the marks are is the result of more stagnant fluids (toxins, blood and lymph) that have been dredged up during treatment. The marks can last anywhere from a few hours to several days. The more often you receive cupping for the same issue, the lighter the marks will be. 

Do you bleed or blister during cupping?

This is a rare occurrence but could happen on occasion. The stagnant blood that’s trapped in the layers of the skin is what can be the main cause of bleeding or cupping blisters. It could also happen if you have a cut on the skin. This only occurs when the body is extremely toxic or undergoing an underlying systemic infection. This is a sign of a strong detoxification reaction. The darkness and length of time the blisters are visible is dependent on the amount of pressure applied from the cups and the length of time the cups are used. Try to avoid excessively tight cupping and the cup being left on the body for too long which may lead to skin blisters and bleeding.

How often should you do vacuum cupping at home?

Once a week, or as needed. The number of sessions varies per person, however, the maximum frequency recommended would be no more than twice a week in the same area. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions are recommended for stress reduction. 

How long should you leave the cups on for?

The cup is generally left in place for 3 - 20 minutes, depending on the body area. We would recommend no longer than 20 minutes.

What are the side effects of vacuum cupping?

Vacuum cupping is non-invasive so there should be few to no side effects. However, you may feel slight discomfort and tightness during use as well as after. Mild swelling may also occur as well as ‘cupping kisses’.

How do I stop the itching from cupping?

If you feel an itchy sensation after vacuum cupping, this may be due to the changes of local microcirculation and vasodilators…in other words…a widening of the blood vessels leading to increased blood flow near the surface of the skin. This itchy sensation could last a few hours after a vacuum cupping session. To help ease the itchiness, use a moisturiser or lotion and don't forget to drink water.

Can you shower after cupping?

Try to avoid super-hot temperatures (hot shower, sauna, hot tub) 4-6 hours after cupping as this therapy opens the pores of your skin and it may be more sensitive to hotter temperatures. Cold shower anyone?
