How often should cupping be used for weight loss

Cupping for weight loss is generally recommended to be done once every 7-10 days, and the specific frequency needs to be adjusted according to individual physical condition, skin recovery, and professional advice from the operator. Cupping for weight loss promotes blood circulation and metabolism by stimulating local skin and meridians with negative pressure, but frequent operation may lead to skin damage or fatigue reactions. An interval of 7-10 days can ensure sufficient skin repair and avoid worsening of bruising or local infections caused by repeated cupping. For first-time users, it is recommended to start with a lower frequency and observe skin tolerance before gradually adjusting. If there is obvious bruising, blisters or persistent pain after cupping, the interval should be extended to more than 14 days. When operating, it is recommended to choose a reputable medical institution and have professionals develop personalized plans based on individual fat distribution, differences in physical constitution and weight loss goals. After cupping, it is important to keep warm and avoid getting cold. It is not advisable to take a shower or engage in vigorous exercise within 24 hours.

Cupping for weight loss requires dietary control and exercise, with limited effectiveness per session. It is recommended to evaluate the effect every 3 months. Daily aerobic exercise such as brisk walking and swimming can be appropriately increased, while reducing high sugar and high-fat intake in diet and supplementing with high-quality protein and dietary fiber. If there is no long-term change in weight or accompanied by symptoms of endocrine disorders, timely medical attention should be sought to screen for other metabolic diseases.
