Facial Cupping and Gua Sha

Facial Cupping can be transformative to your appearance

as an addition to Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation.

Cupping offers many additional benefits to help skin regain

its refreshed and radiant appearance such as:
      • Increased local circulation to the skin
      • Brings nutrients to the surface
      • Increases blood flow
      • Drains stagnant fluids
      • Reduces puffiness
Facial cups are small and are specially designed for your face. After applying a

special face oil, a small cup is either “parked” for a few seconds over a deep wrinkle

to increase blood flow to the area, or it is moved along the face and down the neck

to drain lymphatic fluid and stimulate blood flow. These treatments bring collagen

to the surface, reducing puffiness & dark circles, diminish lines, drain nasal sinuses

and lymphatic system.
Conditions such as TMJ and sinus pressure are also relieved. By increasing local blood supply, nourishment is restored to the muscles and skin allowing for toxins to be carried away through the veins and the lymphatic system. Facial Rejuvenation cupping is entirely painless and is not an irritant to the skin and safe to apply on rosacea, melasma or sensitive skin. Following a cupping session, a relaxing gua sha treatment is given utilizing jade gua sha tools.

 

Facial Gua Sha is a technique in which specially crafted  hand

held pieces of smooth jade are used to invigorate  the skin,

smooth out wrinkles, and increase blood supply. It can be used

to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne, rosacea,

melasma and dark circles. Facial Gua Sha is used as part of a

comprehensive acupuncture facial rejuvenation program for

wrinkles, sagging and puffiness.

Facial Gua Sha can address areas such as the neck and jowls, which are prone to sagginess. The increased blood circulation, which occurs during Gua Sha, helps to detoxify the face and move stagnant blood and inflammation, which can occur under the eyes. By providing increased blood flow to the face, the skin is better nourished and healthier.​

A gentle massaging technique is used for deep lines, such as those between the eyebrows and on the forehead. This procedure relaxes the muscles, increases blood flow and rejuvenates the skin. The more relaxed the muscles are, the more relaxed you feel. Much in the same way that smiling causes you to feel happier, having a tensely furrowed brow can elicit, worry, pensiveness and anger.
