How does it work?

Very small glass suction cups designed for the face are used to rhythmically and gently vacuum tissues of the face, neck and upper chest. The suction created by the cups, causes a negative pressure. This “negative pressure” is a novel experience for the body; one that it may never have experienced. Your body is more familiar with pressure and pushing and prodding and compression, rather than feeling spaciousness and flow.

The result is a tremendous calming effect on the nervous system, similar to that of an actual massage; but deeper.

It’s completely painless and leaves no marks.

The muscles of the face benefit greatly from the reduction of tension and tightness, releasing expression lines and loosening rigid TMJ muscles.

Detoxifying

This glass suction cupping technique, assists the body to detoxify itself, flushing out the toxins through the circulatory system. It will energize the body, while promoting a state of deep pleasure and profound relaxation.

Facial Cupping Protocol

Your journey begins with the application of organic Moroccan oil and organic Bulgarian Rose essential oil. A deeply relaxing Swedish facial massage will leave the musculature of your face exquisitely relaxed and toned. Next, the ancient healing modality of negative pressure suction cupping is employed. This gentle technique, used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine, is renowned for imparting a more youthful and "lifted" appearance. It stimulates circulation, assists the lymph system in clearing debris more quickly by eliminating the buildup of wastes and fluids in the face and neck (puffiness), and relieves sinus congestion pain and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder pain, among many more benefits.

Step 1: Facial Massage with Organic Bulgarian Rose oil
Step 2: Suction Cupping with Organic Moroccan oil (Argan)
Step 3: Pure Pearl Powder Deeply Penetrating cream
Step 4: Soothing scalp massage with Peppermint Essential oil

Patricia’s Lift, Tone, & Plump Facial, does not include any cleansing, toning, mask application, skin analysis, steam application, or extractions.

Detox & Deep Structural Benefits

Over time, metabolic waste gets built up in our superficial fascia. When this happens, our superficial fascia can develop restrictions that impede proper flow of nutrients and waste products between our skin, fascia, and muscles. Suction creates space, allowing for the body to make new choices with regards to nutrients, drainage, and repair. Our facial soft-tissue is arranged in a series of concentric layers: skin, subcutaneous fat, superficial fascia, mimetic muscle, deep facial fascia, and facial nerves, parotid duct and the buccal fat pad. And in cupping massage, the layers get de-compressed a bit; just enough to make a difference.

Facial Suction Cups

This facial utilizes facial suction cups specially designed for your face.  They have soft, rounded edges, and will not leave the marks associated with body cupping. There is typically no discoloration appearing on the face with suction cupping. The skin may be red for a few minutes after the treatment, but it quickly returns to its original color, making the treatment accessible for lunch hour spa breaks and for the woman (or man) on the go.

Maximum Benefits

Recommendations for Treatment:
Although your skin will look improved with one session, a series is required for optimal results. For maximum beneficial results, the following schedule of treatments is recommended:

•    First 3 weeks: a treatment twice a week (each session 60 minutes)
•    Following 4 weeks: a treatment once a week (each 60 minutes)

Magic Wand

The magic wand of this facial, is the negative pressure created by the vacuum. The vacuum is the opposite of what we are used to in life; most therapies push into the skin, prodding, and compressing. This creates space for movement, flow, and nourishment.

Why do we age?

Most of the patients come to reduce the signs of aging. There are specific reasons why our skin wrinkles and loses its tone and glow over time:
1) skin loses its youth-producing elements: fat, collagen and elastin.
2) glands that once rejuvenated skin cells, blood flow, and moisture, begin to slow down.
3) skin cells divide slower, causing the dermal layer to thin. Collagen decreases 1% every year.
4) plump fat layers beneath the dermis begin to atrophy.

Cupping therapy will turn back time. Call Patricia Pilot 805-636-6522.
