Facial cupping massage is a manual therapeutic technique that uses controlled negative pressure to stimulate microcirculation, support lymphatic drainage, and improve tissue tone. The treatment enhances skin oxygenation, activates regenerative processes, and supports non-invasive facial contouring.
This lesson introduces participants to safe and effective facial cupping techniques, including proper vacuum selection and technique adaptation based on skin type and treatment goals. Indications, contraindications, and principles of combining facial cupping with other skincare procedures are also discussed.
The training includes theoretical content, video materials, detailed step-by-step instructions, and a completion certificate, preparing participants to independently perform facial cupping massage in professional esthetics practice.
