Facial cupping increases circulation while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. Increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to alleviate the signs of stress and inflammation while giving the face a youthful glow. Facial cupping has become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in Hollywood for celebs prepping for the red carpet. But facial cupping isn't new. In fact, it has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Facial cupping is similar to body cupping, as both increase circulation, relieve tension and help to defend the body against infections. While body cupping might leave a mark on the skin, facial cupping uses smaller soft silicone cups made for even the most sensitive skin which, when administered properly, will not leave a mark.
