Facial Cupping
Facial Cupping
Facial Cupping
“Oh, that was sooo relaxing”, “My skin looks plumped up”, “My lips look more full” are some of the things that client’s have been saying about my Facial Cupping treatment.
This is an incredibly relaxing, gentle yet powerful treatment that can be tagged on to your Facial Reflexology or Zone Face Lift treatment or it can be used as a standalone treatment too. The suction from the cups tricks the skin into thinking it has been damaged, similar to micro-needling and derma rollers, which causes the skin to repair itself. This natural healing process increases oxygenated blood flow and nutrients to the skin which in turn stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It will remove puffiness, lessen pigmentation, reduces the density of lines and wrinkles resulting in the skin looking clear, plump and glowing. The suction of the cups will also tone the facial muscles.
SO WHAT IS FACIAL CUPPING ?
Did you know, Cupping is an ancient practice which was used in many healing traditions for centuries, to shift stagnation blocks in the body. However, in the late nineties, Ziggie Bergman adapted this treatment for use on the face using soft silicone cups to gently stimulate the lymphatic system to remove stagnation, puffiness and fluid build up, leaving no bruising.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FACIAL CUPPING ?
This treatment is helpful for anyone who is suffering from ailments of the head and neck such as;
- Sinus Congestion
- Hayfever
- Facial Paralysis/Bells Palsy
- Headaches/migraine
- Earache
- Teeth grinding
- Scarring
WHAT ARE THE BEAUTY BENEFITS OF FACIAL CUPPING?
- Reduces wrinkles and lines
- Firms and Tones the skin and muscles of the face
- Reduces the size of your pores
- Reduces puffiness around the eyes
- Increases oxygenated blood circulation to the skin
- Reduces scarring
- Can have a natural plumping action on the lips
As a trained Facial Reflexologist, I will not only be relaxing facial tension and providing lymphatic drainage, I will be working the reflexes on the face and bringing physical and emotional balance to the body and the mind.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A FACIAL CUPPING TREATMENT ?
For Lifting the Sculpting benefits, it would be best to come every week for 10/12 weeks and then once a month thereafter.
For conditions such has Bells Palsy, 3 sessions a week for 2 weeks.
CONTRAINDICATIONS

Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology
So, how would you like a relaxing treatment that will make your skin glow and enhances your health and wellbeing ?? Well, that is what Facial Reflexology can do for you. If you do not like your feet touched, and would like to experience the benefits of Foot Reflexology, then you need to give this luxurious treatment a try.
It was developed by Ziggie Bergman, an award winning Reflexologist in the UK. She is a pioneer in modern Facial Reflexology and her clientele include many supermodels and celebrities.
Like Foot Reflexology, Facial Reflexology is based on Zone Therapy where the face is broken down into zones. When an imbalanced reflex in a particular zone has been resolved, all the reflexes in that zone are positively affected.
The treatment is built on a combination of Native American techniques and Asian body maps, that chart the reflex points on the face. This gentle yet powerful treatment works closer to the brain and the central nervous system, bringing immediate relaxation and stress relief. In fact, most clients fall asleep after the first ten minutes ! Any reflexes out of balance are stimulated to improve the health and well-being of the person being treated. Over time, Facial Reflexology can also help to reduce lines and give your skin a lovely healthy glow.
Daily activities such as eating, talking, frowning and facial expressions can cause tension to build up in our facial muscles which is relieved with Facial Reflexology.
Benefits of Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology has some unique benefits for certain conditions such as;
- Sinusitis
- Infertility
- Migraines
- PMT & Hormonal Imbalance
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- IBS & digestive issues
- Bells Palsy
- Sinus
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Tinnitus
- Menopause
The massaging techniques used during this treatment, bring blood and nutrients to the skin, smoothing out lines and improving skin tone. This in turn makes the client feel good and to look their best.
This luxurious treatment is wonderful on its own or in combination with Foot Reflexology, Reiki or Indian Head Massage.
It is important to wait for 3 weeks after having Botox or Fillers so that the treatment doesn’t affect these procedures.
Book your appointment now. You won’t regret it !
