This therapy, based on millennia of experience and folk knowledge of the Far East, brings fantastic results and is not only painless, but also relaxing.

Chinese cupping massage is a method widely used in cosmetology and medicine and is based on the use of a special vacuum cupping. This method is commonly associated with healing effects on the human body, but it has many more applications. Check why you should use it regularly.

What is the Chinese cupping massage?

This is a completely non-invasive form of therapy, for which no tools other than cups and special oils are used.

The treatment begins by applying a selected oil to the selected part of the skin, which has a relaxing and caring effect, and at the same time provides the cups with the right glide, making them easier to slide over the skin. The first stage of the treatment may be anti-cellulite massage – very intense, strongly stimulating circulation in the skin. In this way, the skin is prepared for a proper massage.

After initial preparations, the beautician proceeds to perform the proper massage. To this end, it puts the cup to the skin and presses it, thereby creating a vacuum that causes the skin to suck together with the subcutaneous fat layer. Then the cups are moved in circular and longitudinal movements towards the lymph nodes. The skin becomes hyperemic, its functioning improves.

The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on which part of the body is treated. This way you can massage your stomach, back, buttocks, thighs or shoulders. In each case, the treatment provides not only relaxation of the massaged part of the body, but also measurable benefits for the functioning of the body as well as improvement of the appearance of the skin and reduction of the fat layer.

Where does the method come from and why is it popular?

This method originates in Chinese folk medicine and is known and practiced for about three thousand years. The Chinese believe that the basis of human health and well-being is the proper flow of energy in the body. And cupping massage is to restore this flow.

The great effects it provides are responsible for the popularity of Chinese cupping massage. It is worth pointing out that it is at the forefront of non-invasive methods that allow you to remove cellulite and excess kilos and firm the skin. It is effective, safe and pleasant.

The treatment also significantly improves the process of cleansing the body of toxins, and thus can improve its overall functioning. It is worth using this method after a slimming treatment or during its duration, after pregnancy, during prolonged stress, and when unnecessary kilograms and lack of skin firmness cause mental discomfort and low self-esteem.
