It is essential to follow the instructions for use of the Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Cup so that you use it properly and keep unwanted side effects to a minimum. Indeed, the majority of issues encountered are due to incorrect use of the cup. Bruising, redness, itching, visible small blood vessels, stretch marks or varicose veins: here is what each of these signs means and what to do if you notice it.
Please note: in some cases, it is not recommended to use the Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Cup without prior medical advice. To avoid unwanted side effects, find out whether this product is right for you with our quick test.
Let’s take a look at the main issues and side effects you might experience!
Is cellulite cupping safe?
Most issues come down to using the cup incorrectly, which is why it pays to follow the instructions carefully. Some reactions are common and short-lived, while others mean you should stop your massages. Each one is covered in the sections below. In some cases, the cup is not recommended without your doctor’s approval first, so if you have any doubts, ask your GP for advice before you start.
I’m getting bruises after my massages — what should I do?
If you have skin that bruises easily, small bruises may appear, especially during the first sessions. These minor bruises can also occur if you press too hard with your cup. This is common and the bruises will fade within a few days. To prevent them from appearing, make sure you follow the steps for using the cup correctly. If your skin is very sensitive and bruises too easily, we recommend spacing your sessions 48 hours apart.
I’m experiencing redness and/or itching after my massages — what should I do?
Redness appearing is completely normal, and happens at almost every session. Massaging with the Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Cup works the skin, which results in redness. The itching sensation is also linked to this effect. Redness and mild tingling disappear within a few minutes of your session.
Tip: run a stream of cold water upwards from your feet to your buttocks! The invigorating effect will make you forget all about the tingling.
I’m noticing broken blood capillaries — what should I do?
If you think you can see blood capillaries or small vessels appearing, stop your massages immediately.
This reaction may be caused by incorrect product use, insufficient oil, or excessive pressure.
We recommend stopping massages for 3 weeks and then consulting your doctor if the problem persists.
I’m noticing stretch marks appearing — what should I do?
The Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Cup cannot cause stretch marks to appear. Stretch marks are caused by hormonal changes (puberty, pregnancy…), significant weight fluctuations, or the use of certain medications.
We strongly advise against using the Anti-Cellulite Cup if you have recent stretch marks (pink or purple in colour). If your stretch marks are older (usually white in colour), you can use the Cellublue Cup while avoiding the affected area.
I’m noticing varicose veins appearing — what should I do?
If you have varicose veins or any other blood or vascular condition, you should not use the Cellublue Anti-Cellulite Cup. When used correctly, the cup cannot cause varicose veins. If you notice small burst blood vessels, stop using it and seek medical advice. This capillary issue may be linked to incorrect product use: back-and-forth movements, insufficient oil, excessive pressure…
