Facial Cupping

Facials date back to Egyptian times as a cosmetic treatment and are also strongly connected with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Their main function is to reduce stress and wrinkle lines to enhance the skin's natural beauty. Facial cupping, much like body cupping, increases blood flow to the face; relieving tension and promoting cell repair. The cups used for facials are typically smaller and softer meaning they have the same effect without leaving cup marks behind. Most patients don't experience cupping bruises, however, some bruising can indicate the amount of cellular waste buildup. The flow of new blood to the suctioned areas triggers a healing response within these muscles and skin cells.
