The Cellublue Cupping Massager fits into your skincare routine on areas prone to cellulite and orange-peel skin (thighs, buttocks, calves, hips, arms). Do you have venous concerns, varicose veins or thread veins and want to use it? Here’s when to check with your doctor and how to use it with care.
The Cellublue Cupping Massager replicates the pinch-and-roll massage, a massage technique often used on areas with cellulite. It is designed for all women who want to include massage in their skincare routine.
I have venous or circulatory issues, varicose veins or spider veins — can I use the Cellublue cupping massager?
If you have circulatory concerns, varicose veins and/or thread veins, we advise against using the Cellublue Cupping Massager without first consulting your doctor.

Before your first session: what to check
If you have varicose veins, thread veins, venous insufficiency, a history of phlebitis or any doubt about the state of your veins, speak to your GP or a vascular specialist first. Only they can tell you whether cupping massage suits your situation, and on which areas.
If they give you the go-ahead, start gently: low suction, short sessions, then watch how your skin reacts over the following days before going further.
Using the cup with care
- Never move the cup directly over a varicose vein, a visible thread vein or a painful area: work around it.
- Apply enough massage oil so the cup glides without pulling on the skin.
- Keep the pressure light and the movements steady, working upwards from the ankles to the tops of the thighs.
- Space sessions out if the area stays sensitive from one session to the next.
When to stop and seek medical advice
- Pain during or after a session.
- Redness or marks that don’t fade quickly.
- A leg that becomes swollen, warm or painful: see a doctor without delay.
