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.
