Facial Cupping

       

 Women in Asia, Russia and Europe have been using techniques such as facial cupping or negative pressure therapy for generations.  Facial cupping is the use of small cups to lift and manipulate the facial tissue cleansing the lymphatic layer leaving the skin with increased circulation and nutrient absorption.  A single treatment shows impressive results decreasing puffiness, fine lines and evening out tone .  Continuous treatments have cumulative results smoothing lines, wrinkles and plumping areas with fascial restriction, tension or scar tissue by softening and revitalizing tissue.  

       This procedure is known as Vacuum Suction Massage or Ventouzzes but uses a vacuum to create suction.  And while it can revitalize a youthful look, the muscles of the face benefit greatly as well.  From reduction of tension and tightness to releasing expression lines and loosening ridged muscles associated with TMJ disorders or chronic headaches.  Even sinus infections and inflammation are directly relieved by the loosening and draining effects of the cups.  

       Beginning treatments should be done 1-2 times per week and fade off as desired results are obtained.  More youthful faces may only need this once a month or so keep the skin from aging rapidly.  Ones daily health routine can enhance or decrease effects... For example drinking/eating excess amounts of alcohol or sugar will disrupt progress.
