When you attach the cup to the skin, a negative pressure is formed which affects and lifts the connective tissue in the muscles and subcutaneous tissue. The cup causes the area to attract fluids which primarily means that the influx of blood increases. In addition, cupping has an effect on the lymphatic system. Increasing the supply of blood improves the body’s ability to heal itself and helps the lymphatic system get rid of a larger amount of slag products than normal.

In densified connective tissue more slag products accumulate, and with increased blood flow, a purification process can begin. Cupping can help you relieve tensions, increase muscle relaxation, mobility and skin elasticity, decrease puffiness and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
