Today, let’s take a closer look at a rare but possible side effect of massaging areas affected by cellulite with the CelluBlue Cup: the bursting of small blood vessels.
First and foremost, it is essential to follow the instructions for the CelluBlue Cup so that you use it properly and avoid any unwanted effects.
In fact, the majority of issues encountered are caused by incorrect use of the Cup.
Please note: in certain cases, it is not recommended to use the CelluBlue Cup without prior approval from your doctor.
I’m noticing small broken blood vessels / capillaries — what should I do?
Make sure to check whether the Cup is suitable for you using this test, before your first massage session.
If you notice the appearance of broken capillaries or small blood vessels after your massage sessions with the CelluBlue Cup, we recommend that you stop using it.
This reaction may be caused by 3 factors:
- incorrect use of the product
- insufficient oil
- excessive pressure on your Cup
To make sure you are using the CelluBlue Cup correctly, feel free to take this test.
We recommend stopping massages for 3 weeks if you notice small blood vessels that appear to be bursting. If the problem persists beyond those 3 weeks, please consult your doctor.

Marks or bruises after using the Cup: what should I do?
If you notice unusual or lasting marks after a session, ask your doctor for advice.
What to do first
When the main topic is visible blood vessels or capillaries, the best first step is to slow down and observe how the skin reacts before continuing with stronger sessions. In practice, if small vessels appear or seem to break after massage, stop the routine and reduce pressure sharply.
The goal is not to give up too quickly, but to return to a cleaner routine: less pressure, more oil, better control and a simple way to monitor progress over several sessions.
A safer cupping routine
- Check the area before every session and avoid irritated skin.
- Use enough oil to maintain smooth gliding.
- Space sessions out if the area stays sensitive and seek medical advice if the symptom persists.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Restarting too quickly with the same intensity.
- Treating a warning sign as if it were insignificant.
- Changing too many variables at once and losing track of the cause.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to stop using the cup completely?
The main thing is to pause or soften the routine until the area feels comfortable again. If there is any doubt, medical advice comes first.
How can I restart safely?
Restart gradually with more oil, less suction and a lower session frequency for the first few sessions back.

Before your next session
Before restarting, keep the routine simple: one area, light pressure, enough oil and a short session. That makes it easier to see whether the skin tolerates the return to massage without bringing the issue back too quickly.
During the first sessions back, comfort, consistency and observation matter more than immediate results. If the symptom comes back despite a lighter routine, stop and seek medical advice.
