Facial cupping is intended to improve facial contours, smooth out fine wrinkles, improve skin tone, and even reduce tension in the jaw muscles.

Chinese cupping works by creating negative pressure, which in turn stimulates improved blood and lymph circulation. This contributes to the removal of unnecessary metabolic products from the body and promotes the transport of oxygen, nutrients and anti-inflammatory mediators to the tissues.

Although the procedure is painless, it may cause the appearance of small bruises.
