SUCCESSFUL FACE AND BODY CONTOURING USING MASSAGE CUPPING AND MEDICUPPING THERAPIES

Massage Cupping and Medicupping therapies are proving to be incredibly effective approaches to face and body contouring services. By creating suction and negative pressure these techniques are used to drain excess fluids and toxins, loosens adhesions and lift connective tissue, and bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin. This versatile method can easily be modified to accomplish a range of techniques, including lymphatic drainage.

One of the most amazing aspects of these techniques is the "separation" that the vacuum produces in tissue layers. This enables water absorption and renewed blood flow to dehydrated undernourished tissue, which is invaluable in body contouring treatments. Separation of tissue can be a huge catalyst for change as the body begins to eliminate chronic congestion and lymph becomes more fluid.

How is massage Cupping therapy accomplished?

The cup is positioned over the area of the body to be treated and suction is created using a vaccum gun. The more traditional method involves inserting a flame into a glass cup to create the vacuum. The suction level can range from light to heavy, and the movements performed by the therapist can be stimulating or sedating.

The Massage Cupping and MediCupping techniques include a highly effective Face Lifting and Drainage Treatment and a Body Contouring Cocoon treatment. Difference can be seen and felt directly after the session, and should continue to progress for the next few days. The Face Lifting and Drainage Treatments have produced spectacular results that are often evident immediately after treating one half of the face. Each successive treatment on the face and body enables the lymphatic system to activate, and tissues to receive nourishment and hydration. What a great treatment program for pre- and post-operative conditions!

How does this therapy feel? The sensation is truly indescribable. People often experience deep warmth and a tingling sensation long after the treatment has ended. The action on the nervous system is sedating and people will often descend into a profound state of reflaxation. The presence of a deep snore is common!

People often report that the experience stayed with them longer than most treatments, and the speed with which these therapies effect change in texture of the tissue is truly amazing. When used in a treatment series, the results are cumulative. Yet even in a single treatment, a long-term physical issue may be resolved. Applications for these techniques include body contouring, scar tissue treatment, pre-surgey prepping and post-surgery recovery (face and body), and more. Conditions that have responded well include edema, cellulite, spider veins and varicosities, weight loss issues, and many more.

What is the discoloring that occurs after some treatment? There is a "marked" difference between Traditional Chinese Cupping and Massage Cupping or MediCupping techniques. The marks that are commonly left from Chinese Medical treatments are thr desired result. Massage Cupping and MediCupping very rarely produce this discoloration, called a "cup kiss" or "doo-hickey". If this appears during treatment, it is just an added bonus indicating release of intense stagnation of body fluids and toxins in the area. This is not a bruise and will dissipate anywhere between a few hours and a few days. It is also unlikely that it will re-occur in the same area.

Are Massage Cupping and MediCupping therapies safe? These methods are used safely on children, adults and elderly persons. The most common misuse of these techniques is overuse. These are very intense therapies, and the impact on the body systems is significant. In particular, children, the elderly, persons with diabetes and those on blood thinners should be treated gently. After any Massage Cupping or MediCupping treatment, it is important to avoid exposure to excessive heat or cold, and sufficient hydration is required to facilitate elimination. The practitioner must take a complete assessment of specific conditions at the time of treatment into consideration.
