In the world of modern aesthetics, we are increasingly returning to methods that encourage the skin’s natural processes, without invasive procedures.
Facial cupping treatment is inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, in which vacuum therapy is used to improve circulation and stimulate regeneration.
Interestingly, this ancient method is now being reinterpreted within aesthetic dermatology as a non-invasive ‘natural lifting’ treatment that acts on microcirculation, the lymphatic system and skin tone.
Gentle vacuum action stimulates:
- increased blood flow to the skin
- lymphatic drainage
- tissue oxygenation
- fibroblast stimulation
The result is skin that looks:
- fresher
- more radiant
- more toned
- visibly more rested
How is the treatment performed?
The treatment is carried out using specialised vacuum cups, with controlled and precise movements.
1. Skin preparation
- thorough cleansing
- application of an oil or serum to allow smooth glide
2. Cupping massage
- use of cups in different sizes
- creation of a gentle vacuum
- stimulation of circulation and lymphatic drainage
3. Focus on the facial contours
- lifting movements along the jawline, cheeks and neck
- improved facial tone and definition
4. Finishing care
- hydrating mask or cream
- soothing and protecting the skin
The treatment supports:
→ lymphatic drainage
→ reduced puffiness
→ improved circulation
→ a natural lifting effect
For optimal results, it is often combined with:
- HydraFacial™ for cleansing and hydration
- Pink-Aging treatment for biostimulation
- Lumixa® or Kleresca® therapy for regeneration
- SkinPen microneedling for collagen
- radiofrequency (Velvet Skin) for additional lifting
