Identify contraindications for facial cupping massage, including cutaneous cancer, venous thrombosis, eye or ear infections, and moles. Explain potential redness after treatment and that benefits often outweigh this temporary effect.
Explore plastic cups for gentle lymphatic drainage and glass cups with strong suction for TMJ and jaw pain, while learning how to maintain suction during facial cupping.
Wash cups with hot water and dish soap, air-dry, and wipe around the area to prevent bacteria buildup; avoid alcohol-based disinfectants to prevent silicone degradation and cracks.
Emphasize consistency in facial cupping massage, treating once or twice weekly, tracking progress with photos and a journal, and noting changes in skin confidence and facial muscle health.
Finish cupping with lymphatic drainage from the neck to the supraclavicular space, plus gentle passes around the ears, jaw, and cheeks; this reduces swelling and drains facial fluid.
Decrease forward head posture and boost facial cupping results by applying neck traction, taffy pull, suboccipital release, and upper neck massage to relieve muscle tension and improve lymphatic drainage.
Learn a 15-minute facial cupping massage treatment with music as part of the facial cupping massage certificate course (1 CEU).
In this course Manual Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher Michael Eric Everson is going to guide you through how to do facial cupping massage. Facial cupping therapy uses suction cups to stimulate skin, muscles and blood circulation. As a result, tension points and aches are relieved, inflammation is reduced, cell repair as well as lymphatic drainage are added benefits. Also, it’s been noted to help with bruxism (excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching) and sinusitis.
Facial cupping is meant to increase blood circulation and stimulate the facial cells that are responsible for collagen and elastin production. Which in turn, can brighten your skin, minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and tone your jawline, chin, and neck by decreasing puffiness. Also, unlike body cupping, facial cupping causes no bruising.
This course is perfect for professionals looking to have an add on treatment for either a massage or aesthetic service, knowing that this service can help you feel and look rejuvenated with the clinical benefits of clearing out the sinuses and helping with TMJ pain and tension headaches. It doesn't even take very long, only 10-15 minutes to feel incredible results.
