"Facial cupping is an antiaging beauty therapy where small, soft glass cups are placed on the face to create suction, allowing for space between skin and muscles.
Facial cups are designed to gently pull the skin from deeper layers of facial fascia. This aids in skin rejuvenation without changing the appearance of skin and leaving behind marks and discoloration common with body cupping. As the suction separates different tissue layers, microtrauma to the skin results. This triggers an inflammatory response, saturating the area with white blood cells, platelets, and other healing aids.
Over time, facial cupping may improve your tone and complexion, diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and detoxify. Facial cupping may aid in relaxing muscle tension, increasing oxygen-rich blood circulation, strengthen connective tissue and skin, and stimulate collagen production.
Benefits of facial cupping may include, brighter skin, minimized appearance of wrinkles, fines lines, and scars, improve the tone of the chin, neck, and jawline, decreased puffiness, regulate oil production and improved nutrient absorption, combat acne, and assist in treating temporomandibular joint disorder and tension headaches.
In general, facial cupping is considered safe*, although minor side effects are possible. Techniques are employed to minimize skin discoloration; some individuals experience minor redness and skin irritation afterward; this is normal and should subside within and few hours.
Facial gua sha is an antiaging beauty therapy where a smooth-edged, flat stone is lightly scraped over the skin in upward strokes.
The delicate scraping motions of facial gua sha help move lymphatic fluids and break down tension in muscles. This aids in skin rejuvenation without changing the appearance of skin and leaving behind marks and discoloration common with body gua sha. The scraping lightly aggravates the skin to stimulate collagen production, detoxify and promote quicker healing, improving the natural radiance of the skin.
Over time, facial gua sha may improve your tone and complexion and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits of facial gua sha may include enhanced contouring of the face, jawline, and cheekbones, boost your natural glow, improve the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and dark eye circles, reduce puffiness, combat acne, and assist in treating temporomandibular joint disorder and tension headaches.
In general, facial gua sha is considered safe*, although minor side effects are possible. Techniques are employed to minimize skin discoloration; some individuals experience minor redness and skin irritation afterward; this is normal and should subside within and few hours."
