Abstract
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a rare complication following cupping therapy. We report a case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with hyper-pigmented skin lesions on her lower back which was persistent for 6 months following cupping therapy. The 1,927 nm thulium fiber laser (Fraxel re:store Dual, Solta Medical Inc., Hayward, CA) was tested leading to near complete resolution within four sessions.
