Face cup

279 kr

Facial cupping works as a form of lymphatic massage and can support increased glow, reduced swelling, and a more even skin texture. By releasing tension in the facial muscles, the method may also influence fine lines, scars, and expressions that develop when the skin is held in a state of tension over time. It is a simple and natural routine that can support a softer, more relaxed expression, without injections or invasive treatments. Begin gently and do not use around the eyes.

For facial cupping, oil is always required to allow the cup to glide smoothly over the skin and to avoid the treatment becoming too intense. Curam’s facial and massage oil is developed specifically for cupping and provides the right glide, nourishment, and skin compatibility. It makes it easier to work with lighter suction and supports a more balanced and effective treatment.

For sensitive, thin, or mature skin, it is recommended to start with Curam’s face mini cup as a gentler alternative. It has softer suction, making it easier for the skin to adapt to the technique before progressing to the larger facial cup.

✔ Reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and wrinkles
✔ Enhance glow and support a more even skin texture
✔ Release tension in the facial muscles
✔ Reduce swelling and highlight facial contours

  1. Apply Curam face & massage oil to a clean face and the area you want to treat, in order to help the cup glide smoothly over the skin and to increase the benefits of the cupping effects.
  2. Begin each session by opening up the lymph flow at the clavicle pit by pumping the cup a couple of times, see instructions on the Lymphatic drainage program.
  3. Gently apply the cup to the skin over the area you want to treat such as your face, neck, chest or décolletage. Squeeze on each side to create a vacuum. See cupping programs for more guidelines.
  4. Use slow sweeping gliding massage strokes and perform out and up motions. Move the cup the whole time to prevent cupping marks. Start gently and preferably in front of a mirror to see how your skin reacts. For sensitive skin, use the mini cup for the entire face instead. Cup one side of your face at a time. End with a few lymph strokes from hairline down towards collarbones.
  5. Facial cupping is said to increase product absorption, so apply Curam face & massage oil again to nourish your skin and increase the benefits of your cupping session.
  6. Recommended usage: a maximum of 3-5 strokes on each area, 3 times a week. If you have sensitive skin or superficial blood vessels, start with one stroke per area and gradually increase based on your skin’s tolerance. If you experience an immediate strong reaction, stop cupping. Do not use on fresh scars, sunburned, or damaged skin. Do not cup directly on recently injected Botox or fillers.

For facial cupping you are continuously moving the cup to prevent cupping marks. Do not leave the cup stationary on your face. Do not cup directly over Botox or fillers.

Use Curam Face & massage oil for a smoother glide and to increase the benefits of your cupping session. Begin each session by opening up the lymph flow at the clavicle pit by pumping the cup a couple of times, see instructions on the Lymphatic drainage program. Place the cup gently against the skin on the area you want to treat and squeeze it to create vacuum. Starting at the center of the face and move it in outward and upward motions. End the session with a few lymphatic strokes from the hairline down to the collarbones, see. Lymphatic drainage program.

Do not cup if you are suffering from a skin disease, difficult acute acne or rosacea, eczema, broken capillaries, moles, skin tags, warts, sunburned skin, raised moles, over new scars, herpes or very sensitive, thin and irritated skin. Please consult your skin care therapist if you are suffering from a skin disease or currently use blood thinners. Temporary redness is normal due to increased vascularity of the cupped area. These effects will disappear shortly. Massage cups are not intended to diagnose, prevent or treat any illness, metabolic disorder, disease or health problems. Minor side effects can occur after treatment such as dizziness, nausea, and slight facial discomfort.

What are the benefits of facial cupping?

Cupping promotes the circulation of fresh oxygen-rich blood, stimulates collagen production that can fill and tighten your skin, and activates lymphatic circulation, reducing swelling. We have 43 muscles in our face, which we often tend to neglect. Facial cupping helps relax the muscles, making us more relaxed and may result in smoother skin and increased well-being with less tension.

How often can I cup my face?

It varies from person to person and depends on the sensitivity of your skin. Since it is a powerful method, start gently to observe how your skin reacts. We suggest starting with 3 times a week, with a few gentle strokes per area. Depending on your needs and your skin’s response, you can gradually increase. Never let the cup stay still; keep it in constant motion. It’s a good idea to begin in front of a mirror to observe any immediate reactions.

I got bruises on my face after cupping, did I do something wrong?

Most often, bruises occur if you let the cup stay still in one place or if you cup for too long. We recommend only dynamic cupping and starting with just a few gentle strokes per area. If you have very sensitive skin and superficial blood vessels, it’s easier to become red or get bruises. Start extra cautiously, with only 1-2 strokes per area, and observe how your skin reacts in the next 24 hours. Alternatively, start with the mini facial cup all over the face. It’s a good idea to stand in front of a mirror initially to observe any immediate reactions.

  1. Moa –

    Is there a timelimit for how long you can use the face cup? I have been going on for ages now. So wonderful<3 I don’t want to stop

  2. Lotta –

    Love the static cups and the large dynamic – but had issues on the lower leg, but now it’s resolved! The new face cup! Perfect for my bad legs! Since I got the little softer cup home, I’ve been using it, apart from my face, also on/around my ankles! So very nice! Has also become much better – with significantly less pain when touching! Also really love the new face morning routine – a few minutes with the face cup! The headache points above the eyebrows, which have been insanely sore for many, many years, are slowly but surely starting to become better! A nice way to wake up – and get rosy, perky cheeks at the same time!

  3. Rebecca –

    The face cup is amazing and easy to use. I use it together with the face oil. The skin feels smoother and more firm, more glow and above all, the relaxed feeling when using it wonderful.

  4. Anna –

    Love this! Its soothing and making my skin shine!

  5. Helena –

    Curam facial cupping is my new morning routine that I don’t want to be without! Such a nice way to ‘wake up the face’! The skin feels so fresh and nice with the accompanying oil. The other day, a colleague said I look slimmer in the face. It really feels like the face is getting a lift!
