Cupping Therapy
An ancient healing technique that relieves muscle tension, improves circulation, and promotes natural detoxification. Experience the therapeutic benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine cupping.
About This Treatment
Cupping therapy is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses suction cups placed on the skin to create negative pressure. This draws blood flow to the area, releases muscle tension, promotes lymphatic drainage, and stimulates the body's natural healing processes.
At Puralex Derma Boutique in Richmond Hill, we offer both traditional fire cupping and modern silicone cupping techniques. Our practitioners customize each session based on your specific needs, whether you're seeking pain relief, stress reduction, or general wellness support.
Cupping has gained widespread recognition in recent years, used by professional athletes and wellness enthusiasts alike. It's an excellent complement to our acupuncture treatments and can be combined with other body restoration therapies for enhanced results.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the cupping marks hurt?
The marks are not bruises and are generally not painful. They result from increased blood flow to the area and typically fade within 3–7 days. The colour and duration can indicate the level of stagnation in that area.
How often should I get cupping?
For chronic conditions, we recommend weekly sessions for the first 4–6 weeks, then bi-weekly or monthly maintenance. For general wellness, monthly sessions are sufficient.
Can I exercise after cupping?
We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours after treatment. Light activity like walking is fine. Stay well-hydrated to support the detoxification process.
Is cupping safe?
Yes. When performed by trained practitioners, cupping is very safe. We use sterile equipment and proper technique to ensure a safe, effective treatment.
