Are you looking for the ultimate precision for your traditional Chinese medicine treatments or acupuncture protocols? The Pack of 6 glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> has been specially designed for demanding practitioners who work on delicate areas requiring surgical precision.<\/p>\n The special feature of the 6-pack of glass suction cups with ignition stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> lies in its small diameter<\/strong>, which allows exceptionally fine work on narrow areas and specific energy points. Unlike standard sizes, these small suction cups give you absolute control over the area being treated.<\/p>\n The \u00d8 3cm format excels in facial care, where precision is paramount. These suction cups allow you to work on the temples, forehead, cheeks or eye contour area (with the necessary precautions) without overlapping adjacent areas. Well-being massage practitioners<\/a> specialising in facial lymphatic drainage particularly appreciate this size to stimulate skin microcirculation and promote a radiant complexion.<\/p>\n In traditional Chinese medicine, precise stimulation of acupuncture points is fundamental. The 6-pack of glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> enables you to target the energy points precisely without affecting the surrounding areas. This precision guarantees optimum effectiveness in rebalancing the flow of vital energy (Qi).<\/p>\n Narrow areas such as the hands, feet, ankles or wrists need suitable suction pads. The \u00d8 3cm format is perfect for treating localised joint pain, stimulating plantar or palmar reflexology points, and supporting recovery after injury.<\/p>\n The particularly sensitive cervical area benefits greatly from the gentleness of the \u00d8 3cm suction cups. Their small size means they can work in depth on muscular tension without creating too much suction, which could be uncomfortable in this fragile area. Home masseurs<\/a> specialising in cervical tension systematically include them in their protocols.<\/p>\n One of the great advantages of the Pack 6 glass suction pads with ignition stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> is the exceptional lightness<\/strong> of these small formats. Unlike large-diameter suction cups, which can become heavy during prolonged applications, \u00d8 3cm suction cups can remain in place for 10 to 15 minutes without causing discomfort or excessive pulling.<\/p>\n This feature is particularly appreciated for :<\/p>\n All the suction cups in the 6-pack of glass suction cups with ignition stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> are made from medical-grade borosilicate glass<\/strong>, renowned for its exceptional heat resistance and absolute chemical neutrality.<\/p>\n Advantages of medical glass for small formats:<\/strong><\/p>\n Discover our other professional massage accessories<\/a> to optimise your practice.<\/p>\n The professional metal lighting rod<\/strong> included is specially calibrated for small formats. Its specially sized head creates just the right flame to activate the \u00d8 3cm suction cups without overheating. The insulated handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip, even during long sessions requiring repeated activation of several suction cups.<\/p>\n Activation technique for small formats:<\/strong><\/p>\n The 6-pack of glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> is ideal for precise, targeted techniques, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine and energy therapy.<\/p>\n According to a meta-analysis published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information<\/a>, cupping therapy applied to specific acupuncture points shows superior efficacy in the treatment of chronic pain. Research by the Cleveland Clinic<\/a> also confirms the value of small formats for precision work on energy meridians.<\/p>\n Main indications for suction cups \u00d8 3cm :<\/strong><\/p>\n Careful preparation<\/strong> Precise activation<\/strong> Targeted application<\/strong> Duration and techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n A systematic study published in Frontiers in Neurology<\/a> recommends applications of 5 to 10 minutes to optimise therapeutic benefits while preserving the skin, which is particularly important when working on delicate areas.<\/p>\n Gentle removal<\/strong> After each use, wash your suction cups immediately in hot soapy water. The small size makes cleaning much easier, even in nooks and crannies. For optimum disinfection, use a solution suitable for medical use.<\/p>\n Borosilicate glass is ideal for autoclaving and all professional sterilisation protocols. Dry thoroughly before storing. Store your Pack 6 glass suction cups with ignition stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> in a dry place, ideally in a protective case to avoid shocks.<\/p>\n Complete your equipment with our accessories for massage tables and chairs<\/a> for optimal practice.<\/p>\n The 6-pack of glass suction cups with lighting rod – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> is the ideal choice for :<\/p>\n With 6 identical suction cups, you can simultaneously treat several points on the same meridian or offer complete reflexology sessions with suction cups. This quantity can also be used to equip several practitioners during training sessions or to build up a rotation stock for impeccable hygiene.<\/p>\n Is it safe to use \u00d8 3cm suction cups on the face?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, the 6-pack of glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> is perfectly suited to facial treatments, as long as you take certain precautions: avoid the immediate eye area, use light suction, limit the duration to 5-8 minutes, and always test skin sensitivity beforehand. As the skin on the face is thinner, start with a very short flame to create a gentle suction.<\/p>\n What’s the difference between the \u00d8 3cm suction cups and the larger sizes?<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u00d8 3cm suction cups in the Pack 6 glass suction cups with ignition stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> offer surgical precision<\/strong> that is impossible to achieve with standard sizes. They allow you to target acupuncture points exactly, work on narrow areas (temples, finger joints) and perform facial lymph drainage with optimum finesse. The larger sizes (\u00d8 4cm or \u00d8 5.5cm) are designed for large muscle areas.<\/p>\n How many suction cups can be applied simultaneously?<\/strong><\/p>\n With your Pack 6 glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong>, you can apply the 6 suction cups simultaneously if your protocol requires it. This is particularly useful for working on a complete meridian, for treating both sides of the body symmetrically, or for combining several acupuncture points in the same session. Just make sure your client is comfortable.<\/p>\n Are \u00d8 3cm suction cups suitable for beginners?<\/strong><\/p>\n The 6-pack of glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> is suitable for beginners who have had basic training in cupping therapy. The small size makes handling and precision easier. However, we recommend that you take specific training in locating acupuncture points and reflex zones to fully exploit the potential of this format. Check out the training courses available<\/a> to improve your skills.<\/p>\n How much alcohol should I use to activate the \u00d8 3cm suction cups?<\/strong><\/p>\n For the Pack 6 glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong>, use less alcohol<\/strong> than for the larger sizes. A small dab of cotton slightly soaked in alcohol is more than enough. Too much alcohol will create a flame too large for the small volume of these suction cups, risking overheating the glass or creating too intense a suction. 70\u00b0 alcohol is ideal.<\/p>\n Is it possible to use the \u00d8 3cm format for sliding suction cups?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, sliding suction cups are perfectly possible with the Pack 6 glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong>. Apply a generous amount of massage oil<\/a> to the area to be treated. The small size is ideal for precisely following the energy meridians in Chinese medicine. Movements should be short and controlled, following the energy lines.<\/p>\n Are there any contraindications specific to the \u00d8 3cm format?<\/strong><\/p>\n The general contraindications for cupping therapy also apply to the Pack 6 glass suction cups with lighting stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong>: coagulation disorders, active skin diseases, pregnancy (first trimester), open wounds. For facial work specifically, avoid in cases of active inflammatory acne, severe rosacea or extremely thin skin. Always consult the contraindications to massage<\/a> before any session.<\/p>\n Are the marks less visible with small suction cups?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, generally speaking, the \u00d8 3cm suction cups in the Pack 6 glass suction cups with ignition stick – \u00d8 3cm<\/strong> leave smaller and often less pronounced circular marks than the larger sizes. This makes them particularly suitable for visible areas such as the face, neck or hands. The marks generally disappear in 3 to 5 days, sometimes less depending on the intensity applied and the customer’s skin sensitivity.<\/p>\n\u00d8 3cm (height 6cm) format: the ultimate in therapeutic precision<\/h2>\n

Protocol for use specific to the \u00d8 3cm format<\/h3>\n
\nClean and dry the area to be treated thoroughly. For facial work, remove make-up carefully. For body applications, you can apply a thin layer ofmassage oil<\/a> if you plan to use sliding suction cups.<\/p>\n
\nLightly soak the cotton pad with 70\u00b0 alcohol (use less alcohol than for the larger sizes). Light briefly and pass the flame through the suction pad for 1 to 2 seconds. The suction created will be proportional to the size of the suction pad.<\/p>\n
\nImmediately place the suction pad on the precise point you are aiming for. The small size of the suction pad allows millimetric positioning on acupuncture points or reflex zones. You can apply several suction cups simultaneously if your protocol requires it.<\/p>\n\n
\nTo remove the suction pad, press gently on the skin just next to the edge to let the air in. The small format is remarkably easy to remove, with no unpleasant sensation.<\/p>\nCare and storage of your precision pack<\/h3>\n
