Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for optimal use of your Pulse Cupping Therapy Massager:
- Prepare the Skin: For best results and to ensure proper suction, apply a light coat of massage oil or lotion to the skin area where you plan to use the massager.
- Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually indicated by a power symbol) to turn on the device.
- Select Suction Mode and Intensity: Use the dedicated buttons to cycle through the 4 suction modes and adjust the suction intensity across 9 levels. Start with a lower intensity and gradually increase as comfortable.
- Activate Heat and Vibration (Optional): Press the heat button to select one of the 3 heat settings. Press the vibration button to activate and cycle through the multiple vibration modes. These features can be used independently or in combination with suction.
- Apply to Skin: Place the cupping massager firmly onto the prepared skin area. The device will create a vacuum, drawing the skin and underlying tissue into the cup.
- Massage Technique: You can either leave the cup stationary for a few minutes (typically 5-10 minutes per area, especially when starting) or gently glide it across the skin for a dynamic massage. Do not exceed 10 minutes per area, especially during initial uses, to gauge your body's reaction.
- Power Off: After your session, press and hold the power button to turn off the device. Gently break the suction by tilting the cup or pressing the release button if available.
