How long will I have marks after cupping?
For most people cupping marks will disappear in a few days, but if someone has never had cupping or hasn't had it in a long time, or if a muscle is very tight or subjected to repetitive use, cupping marks can last up to three weeks. Usually the marks are darker. Cupping marks can also be darker when the body is under a lot of stress. Cupping marks tend to get lighter and disappear faster as the body flushes out toxins and improves circulation to the affected area.
