According to the Hijama Clinic’s cellulite-reducing treatment page, the idea behind cupping for cellulite is as follows:
• Fat cells that contribute to cellulite stay under the skin until some sort of intervention happens.
• Dry cupping, they explain, helps push out those fat cells, tighten loose skin, and create localized “spot reduction” in targeted areas.
• The treatment aims not just to reduce cellulite but also to reshape and firm the area for a smoother body contour.
