Can massage with cupping be done the next day after SculpSure without affecting the results?

Question

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is FDA approved and highly effective in killing fat cells in unwanted areas with fat deposits. The heating energy of the SculpSure laser also causes the production of collagen and elastin, the two necessary building blocks for youthful, healthy skin. Massaging the treated area is definitely recommend. It is also ok to have cupping done. Please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

One of the things I recommend after SculpSure, in addition to copious water intake, is lots of massage in the areas you had the SculpSure done. I don't think that cupping specifically will affect your results either way, so if it's something you want to do, go right ahead. Note, though, that you may be more sore than usual as SculpSure can cause local inflammation and pain in those areas.
Good luck!

Massage is always a good idea after Sculpsure, it helps to mobilize the broken down fat and the stimulates lymphatic drainage. It also breaks up the nodules which are necrotic fat. Cupping is much more superficial and while it may not help it certainly will not hurt.
