What cupping is

Cupping uses cups to create suction on the skin. Dry cupping leaves the skin intact; wet cupping pierces it and draws blood. Those are different procedures with different risks, so ask any provider which technique they use before arranging a session.

The marks and the evidence

Round marks are a skin response to suction. They are not proof that toxins have left the body, and their color does not measure a treatment's success. Tell your health care provider where any marks came from.

NCCIH's cupping overview says cupping may reduce pain, but the evidence is weak. Evidence for other conditions is insufficient. That supports cautious expectations, not a promise of recovery or a cure.

Current options for a massage visit

If you want hands-on massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Massage + Hot Stone are on the current menu. These are separate services, with their own techniques; neither includes cupping.

Before you decide

Your questions, answered

Can I book cupping at The Agoura Hills Spa?
Cupping is not currently listed on our Booker menu. See our current services for available massage, wellness, and package appointments.
What is the difference between dry and wet cupping?
Dry cupping uses suction without piercing the skin. Wet cupping pierces the skin and draws blood into the cup. Ask a prospective provider about their technique, training, and equipment hygiene.
Does cupping have proven benefits?
NCCIH says cupping may help reduce pain, but the evidence is not strong. There is not enough high-quality research to draw conclusions for other conditions. It should not replace medical care.
Are cupping marks a sign of detoxification?
No. Marks follow suction on the skin and do not demonstrate toxin removal or a successful treatment. Explain their origin to your health care provider.
