What is a smart cupping therapy device?

A smart cupping therapy device uses adjustable suction, heating, and massage features to deliver cupping therapy without manual effort or pain. Unlike traditional cups, it offers digital control and consistent pressure—ideal for home use and muscle recovery.

• Automatic suction & release
• Adjustable heat for deeper muscle relief
• Designed for sensitive or aging skin
• Compact, rechargeable & easy to clean

When combined with Body Care and Health Devices, it becomes part of a powerful at-home wellness system that enhances relaxation and recovery without strain.

How to use a smart cupping therapy device step-by-step

Using your electric cupping massager doesn’t have to be intimidating. Here’s a quick guide to getting it right—even on your first try.

1. Clean & prep the area: Wash skin with warm water and pat dry.
2. Apply massage oil or balm: This helps the cup glide and prevents friction burns.
3. Place the device: Position on the treatment area (back, shoulders, thighs).
4. Start with low suction: Choose the gentlest setting and gradually increase if comfortable.
5. Add heat (optional): Turn on the heated cupping therapy for deeper relaxation.
6. Use for 5–10 mins per area: Never exceed 15 mins to avoid bruising.
7. Remove gently: Use the release button to safely detach.

Best settings for sensitive skin and beginners

Concerned about marks or irritation? You’re not alone. Sensitive skin users can enjoy cupping too—with the right settings:

• Suction level: Always begin at level 1 (light pressure) and test comfort.
• Time limit: Stick to 3–5 minutes max per spot on your first week.
• Heat control: Keep it under 42°C (107.6°F) to avoid redness or burns.
• Movement: Use dynamic gliding instead of static cupping to reduce impact.

Tip: Try it on the upper shoulder or thigh area first—these are less sensitive than the spine or inner arms.
