What is Facial Cupping?

What is facial cupping?

“Facial cupping works by using suction to pull the facial muscles promoting circulation.” Michele Green, Dermatologist, M.D. 

 

Facial cupping is a skincare technique or therapy, which involves the usage of cups on the skin of your face. These cups are used to pull your skin gently and rejuvenate it without leaving any marks. It is also said to improve the flow of your “qi”. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force. It makes your face look plumper, smoother, and gives a slight lift to your cheekbones & jawline.

 

How does facial cupping work?

It works on the principle of suction & restoration. The suction effect pulls blood into the area of skin underneath the cup. This saturates the surrounding tissue with fresh blood and promotes new blood vessel formation, thereby giving you an instant lift plus activating the blood vessels in and around the face.

 

Where did facial cupping come from?

Facial cupping is known to be deeply ingrained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, however, researchers have found that it actually originated in ancient Egypt.

A Word of Safety

Facial cupping can or cannot react to the breakouts after the initial procedure, depending on your skin type, but after a few hours the redness alleviates and eventually goes away.
