Generally, we advise being cautious or avoiding cupping for rosacea, as it involves
increased formation of blood vessels, and these vessels react strongly to stimuli like
cupping. While some individuals with milder rosacea may experience positive effects
from facial cupping. We advise you to consult with your skincare therapist first. If you
wish to try facial cupping, start very gently, with one stroke per area, 3 times a week
and preferably in front of a mirror to observe how the skin reacts. Avoid acutely inflamed areas and work around them. Make sure you spend some time on the chest and neck area to help the lymphatic system drainage. Once the inflammation has come down (after a few days or a few weeks) you’ll be ready to perform facial cupping (carefully) over the area where it used to be inflamed.
