The Chinese, Tibetan, Vietnamese and the Japanese have been practicing facial cupping for years.
Facial cupping tones the facial muscles and increases blood flow. This in turn plumps and tones the face by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Lymphatic stagnation is also removed at the same time and this will reduce puffiness and clears the skin.
Your skin tone will also improve, and any pigmentation will even out after a few sessions. You will feel a difference straight after your first session.
It is incredibly gentle and relaxing - even my 13 year old daughter fell asleep during my training! In saying that, facial cupping is not for anyone under the age of 13 years old. The suction of the facial cups DO NOT leave any bruising like you see after cupping for pain and muscle relief as the cups are not left on for more than 2-3 seconds at a time.
The suction of the cups tricks the skin into thinking that it has been damaged - similar to micro-needling and derma-rollers. This triggers the body to repair itself, stimulating the production of oxygenated blood, collagen and fibroblasts leaving the skin looking plumper, even toned, glowing and healthy.
So, I liked the theory of facial cupping and natural therapy is more appealing to me than anything chemical and artificial so I tried this for myself - under the tuition of Ziggie Bergman (She's known as a 'Botox Detox' master, helping her clients move away from the needle and helping them choose a different option to get the results they are looking for. Ziggie created the Zone FaceLift from her Knightsbridge Clinic in London. UK.)
I could feel the difference in my skin straight away - and I felt quite dehydrated after the first experience. This makes sense to me because I had just swept away any stagnant lymphatics from my face and my body really needed the extra water to help expel these toxins. See aftercare advice HERE in regards to any healing crisis...
I am really not keen on having my picture taken, but I was encouraged by Ziggie at the training to set a challenge for ourselves and do 3 treatments a few days apart and note any differences. So, begrudgingly - I did. I cleansed my face first, used my new hot towel cabinet and some steaming hot towels (What a treat!!! I do like that device) and also used the award winning Zone Face Lift Elixir (available to buy for £75 each). See the results below.
Can you see many differences here? I think at the time, the difference between picture one and two (the top two) the difference is massive. My skin is brighter, my eyes are more open and my crows feet are nearly gone.
Picture 3, I feel like I look happier, younger - definitely not my 46 years around the planet... and the last photo the final photo after my third treatment... Just wow. I am so happy with my results. I will do these sessions on myself probably once per week or fortnight going forward.
Finally I can see the benefits of a single treatment, but trust me when I say - go for at least 3!!! Magic!
