Cupping is an ancient technique of applying cups with gentle suction to the skin, thus creating “negative pressure” and allowing fresh blood to flow to the area. In Chinese Medicine, the function of this treatment is to promote the free flow of qi and blood, the basis of all health and beauty in the Traditional Chinese Medical philosophy.

This has many benefits in Facial Rejuvenation including:

• An increase in blood circulation in the face, head, neck, and chest

• Increased absorption of nutrients in the skin

• Better absorption and penetration of topical skin care products

• Improved lymphatic flow and drainage 

• A reduction in puffiness and swelling of the face

• A decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Reduced signs of acne scaring 

• Improved skin tone and elasticity 

• Relaxed musclesof the face, neck, and chest

• Removal of toxic and cellular waste

• Relaxing and stimulating sensation

• Improved color and glow to the skin

At Glow Wellness Maui, we include facial cupping as an adjunct therapy in some treatments.  This painless, non-invasive treatment is relaxing and soothing, and is done at the end of the facial acupuncture treatment to aid in giving our clients the best and most effective treatment possible.
