Facial Cupping
Facial Cupping is the therapeutic application of soft suction cups to the face and chest, aiding lymphatic drainage and sculpting the face - with many health benefits!
​HEALTH BENEFITS OF FACIAL CUPPING
​​
Providing relief from:
​
Sinus congestion + Hay Fever
Headaches and migraines
Facial paralysis and Bells Palsy
Earaches
Bruxism (teeth grinding)
Scaring of the skin
Unlike body cupping, with its famed pattern of red circles left upon the back, the facial equivalent is much more gentle and relaxing - oh and no red marks (if used correctly)!
It's a technique derived from traditional Chinese medicine that has gained popularity for its various health and aesthetic benefits.

AESTHETIC BENEFITS OF FACIAL CUPPING
​
Improved Blood Circulation: the suction from the cups increases blood flow to the skin, which can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells
Enhanced Skin Tone and Texture: by promoting better circulation, it can improve the overall tone and texture of the skin
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: the increased blood flow and lymphatic drainage can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Detoxification & Decreased Puffiness: by promoting lymphatic drainage, it helps in the removal of toxins and impurities from the skin, thereby reducing puffiness and swelling
Relaxation of Facial Muscles: the gentle suction can relieve tension in the facial muscles
Improved Absorption of Skincare Products: can make the skin more receptive to skincare products and increase their efficacy
Reduction of Scarring: helps to reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars, by promoting skin healing and regeneration
Stimulation of Collagen: the gentle stretching of the skin during cupping can stimulate the production of collagen, essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness
Overall Skin Rejuvenation: making it look healthier and more youthful

**If you have had other facial treatments such as botox or facial fillers, you must leave at least 3 weeks before booking a Cupping treatment. Even then, I will only work over areas where fillers haven't been used as cupping is powerful at drawing toxins to the surface of the skin!
​
IS FACIAL CUPPING FOR YOU? ​
​
If you are/have any of the following, cupping probably isn't for you:
Below 13 years of age or elderly with very thin/loose skin as it can damage more easily
Extremely sensitive skin
Botox or fillers (wait three weeks until after administration!) even then, I will only work over areas where fillers haven't been used as cupping is powerful at drawing toxins to the surface of the skin
​
Active eczema or psoriasis on the face. I can work around areas of rosacea
Open sores, open acne or burns
Infectious skin conditions such as cold sores
Beards - sorry chaps but I won't be able to get suction!
Cases of melanoma or skin cancer
If you have a lot of broken capillaries or raised moles as I will have to avoid them
Sunburn on the face
Recent scar tissue - ok after six weeks to three months depending on scar type, after which time it can be beneficial and reduce pain and appearance!
