Does cupping therapy for cellulite have any risks?

Cupping is noninvasive and generally safe for adults, but it’s not advisable for everyone. Talk with a doctor first if you:

• are pregnant
• have heart disease
• take blood thinners
• have a pacemaker
• have hemophilia

Don’t get cupping on:

• sunburn
• skin wounds or lesions
• recent injuries
• fractured bones
• varicose veins
• sites of deep vein thrombosis

You may have some discomfort, but it’s generally not painful. Some people experience minor dizziness or nausea.
