Cosmetic Cupping

Interest in cosmetic cupping has increased during the recent period among all societal groups, especially young people. This cupping is considered a type of dry sliding cupping and is considered one of the latest complementary treatments in the field of helping to improve skin freshness, tightening and improving blood circulation.

Collagen secretion decreases at a rate of 1% annually starting from the age of 20. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to proper skin massage to help activate collagen, especially in the evening, because its secretion increases in the evening, and the more its secretion increases, the more skin wrinkle factors are delayed.

This technique is adopted, which I recommend using with comprehensive preventive wet cupping for the body as an opening session to improve blood circulation in general, raise the percentage of oxygen within the tissues, reduce free radicals, and then raise immunity in general, and adopt cosmetic cupping or dry facial cupping with cosmetic oils such as coconut oil or argan oil, and move in directions It varies depending on the area, with very light tension. It is not recommended at all to keep the cup in place for a long period of time because it can cause skin irritation and congestion, especially on the day following the session.

What are the benefits of cosmetic cupping?

• • Improving blood circulation and raising the level of oxygen to facial cells.

• • Increasing collagen activity, which in turn maintains the freshness of the skin.

• • Activate facial muscles and tighten the skin naturally.

• • Increase the skin’s ability to absorb fluids and breathe normally.

• • Reducing the appearance of acne, facial swelling and sagging.

• • Increasing the freshness of the skin and discoloring the cheeks in a pinkish-red color, which can last up to four days naturally.

• • Help relieve headaches.

• • Reducing dark circles.

• • Reduces the appearance of freckles on the face.

• • Reducing lines and wrinkles in the face.

Cosmetic cupping is usually used for a number of areas in the human body, such as the face, neck, chest, and cellulite areas. The cosmetic cupping program varies from person to person and according to the case, but in general it is recommended to do it once a week, and the duration of the session ranges from 10 to 15 minutes for 4-6 weeks, In some cases, the treatments can be performed daily for ten days to two weeks, with great attention in this case to simple suction and light massage with silicone cups if the goal is to improve the condition of the cheeks. It is important to pay attention throughout the cosmetic cupping session to massage movements of the face or neck differently from one point to another, for example. Facial cupping starts from the inside, next to the nose, and goes up to the outside at the end of the sideburns.

The direction varies in the case of sagging (some of the skin falling down). In this case, the massage will be opposite to the direction of gravity, from bottom to top, that is, from the direction of the chin to the top towards the eye.

In the end, cosmetic cupping is considered a type of natural skin care, free from any chemicals, and a safe method if performed correctly, especially to remove toxins from the lymphatic system and enhance the passage of blood in the vessels, which contributes to obtaining radiant and healthy skin.

 

 

I wish everyone good health and safety.
