Cupping is an ancient alternative type of medicine that utilises suctioned cups on the skin to stimulate a healing response. In Chinese medicine, it is believed that cupping improves the flow of blood, lymph and Qi (the energy that flows through the body).

At Skin Health Central we use small glass cups for facial cupping. Facial cupping is great to stimulate the lymphatic system and assist in clearing out blockages within the skin that may be causing congestion. It can also help to brighten and improve blood flow to the skin.

Facial cupping can be done in clinic as often as twice a week, for maintenance we suggest once a month, with facial cupping done at home in between appointments. We are more than happy to help teach you how to do this!

Facial cupping should not leave any marks on the skin as we use a gliding technique and a low suction.

If you have any questions regarding facial cupping please send us a message and we will guide you in the right direction.
