What is Facial Cupping Rejuvenation Therapy?
The Facial cupping technique uses a combination of suction, heat and stone massage to stimulate the skin’s inherent ability to return to a more visible state of youthfulness and vibrancy. Clients will notice that their skin feels warmer, tighter, brighter, lightened and more awake even after just one treatment. Facial cupping also works at the cellular level to stimulate the regeneration of cells and expedite the delivery of nutrients needed for the reversal of signs of aging.
Facial cupping helps brighten lusterless skin, reduce redness, tighten sagging areas, drain congested lymph, soften wrinkles, and discourage the formation of new lines. The process exercises the cutaneous layer of the skin and fights aging by attacking expression lines, dehydration, poor circulation and flaccidity. It tightens pores, brightens the eyes, improves hormonal balance to help acne and reduce signs of stress in the face. Chronic puffiness is also minimized as the drainage of stagnant fluids is stimulated through the cupping action. The skin is able to better absorb the capabilities of topical remedies, too. The suction strengthens the dermis of the face by correcting circulation deficiencies and stimulating fibroblasts to increase collagen production, thereby improving elasticity. It breaks up scar tissue, reduces swelling, detoxifies and makes for a useful intervention without medical necessity.
At Four Pillars Ayurveda, I also use a combination of warm stone massage and hydrotherapy.
Warm stone massage has its origins in ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures. Used as a means of improving the function of the skin and internal organs, stones were applied to the body as a way to connect with the natural healing properties of the earth. It was believed that this connection would then inform the innate healing wisdom of the body. During any Facial cupping treatment, warm stones are applied to the face. This helps prepare the layers of derma and musculature of the face to receive the deepest layers of stimulation and circulation, noninvasively. By nature, when heat is applied to the skin it becomes a vasodilator; which means that the application of heat increases blood flow to whichever area of the body that it is applied. When blood is in more rapid circulation, amazing - miraculous things even - begin to happen. Oxygen becomes more readily available to the cells and in turn, nutrients that are desperately needed for cell repair and regeneration, get delivered. Treatment at this cellular level gets tremendously positive results!
Lastly, hydrotherapy in conjunction with the application of cupping and heat to the face allows for such a deep and luxurious experience of the moisturizing and therapeutic oils used at Four Pillars Ayurveda. Each product used is organic, ecologically sourced, indulgent and highly effective. Only the best products, and techniques are offered in my studio during a Facial Cupping service.
We use only the highest quality natural skincare lines for our facial treatments.
Beauty is more than skin deep.
When we embrace and honor the timeless tradition of getting older, we capture the timeless beauty within. The body then follows the mind, and magical things begin to take place; we radiate confidence, we glow with wisdom and ultimately we more readily nourish our appearance with the beauty that is already inside of us!
Some say that the eyes are the window to the soul, but in my experience it is the skin that tells the story of a life well lived. The skin is a very resilient organ, and yet it is also delicate and sensitive. The skin filters out environmental toxins, protects the internal bodily functions from the external world and it is an excellent communicator! The skin can show you what the air quality is, where you live, how you eat and what thoughts you have. All of these things (and more) impact the rate at which you age. At Four Pillars Ayurveda, I take all of things into consideration as I create a facial rejuvenation plan for each of my clients.
