Cupping is an alternative therapy that uses suction cups to stimulate your skin. It can be done on your face or body.
The suction promotes increased blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, promotes cell repair, and aids in regeneration.
It is also said to improve the flow of your “qi” (pronounced “chee”). Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force.
The suction effect pulls blood into the area of skin underneath the cup.
This saturates the surrounding tissue with fresh blood and promotes new blood vessel formation. The vacuum-like suction separates different layers of tissues, resulting in micro-trauma and tearing. This triggers an inflammatory response, flooding the area with white blood cells, platelets, and other healing aids, stimulates the facial cells that are responsible for collagen production. In turn, this can brighten your skin, minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and tone your face by decreasing puffiness.
