Why Facial Cupping?

Facial cupping is a practice that has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine.

Cupping therapy itself has been used for thousands of years in various cultures, and facial cupping is a more recent adaptation of this ancient technique.

Traditional cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood flow and reducing muscle tension.

Facial cupping specifically focuses on the face and neck, and as you know, it has gained popularity as a beauty and wellness treatment. That’s because it’s associated with several potential benefits like:

  • improving circulation

  • stimulating collagen production

  • reducing facial tension

  • reducing the appearance of fine lines

  • stimulating lymphatic flow
