Facial Cupping
Facial cupping is a natural, traditional treatment, that is remarkable at slowing the signs of ageing and promoting a youthful appearance.
Women in Asia, Russia and Europe have been using facial cupping for beautification and youth maintenance for thousands of years. Renowned as a natural face-lift in the East, it was one of the secrets of a Geisha.
It is safe, comfortable and achieves outstanding anti-ageing results.
How does it Work?
Light suction from small, specialised cups gently lifts the skin and superficial tissue. This mimics the pumping movement of lymphatic drainage, which removes toxins, cellular waste and excess fluid in the face and neck. The vacuum created from the cups plumps and tightens your skin. It is painless and leaves no marks.
The effects of this natural treatment are comparable to the results produced by equipment used in some of the top aesthetic clinics.
Facial cupping marries very well with Gua Sha. They are mutually complementary. Both have outstanding results on skin tone and elasticity.

Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a healing technique used in Asia by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners for many centuries to promote younger-looking skin. It is complementary to facial cupping and they work very well together to improve the tone and elasticity of your skin.
It’s a natural, non-invasive anti-ageing technique, which is painless, soothing and relaxing. Gua Sha induces relaxation in the whole body as the meridians (energy pathways) are activated, as the face is worked on.
How does it Work?
During a Gua Sha treatment therapeutic oil specific to your condition and skin type is applied to your face. Gentle friction pressure is used to smooth, firm, tone your skin and reduce wrinkles with a Gua Sha tool.
Gua Sha will slightly redden the skin as blood and Qi rise to the surface of the skin to trigger healing and stimulation of collagen and elastin. This is temporary and will fade.
This sculpting method also helps remove toxic waste from the skin, increase blood circulation and reduce blood stagnation.
