Facial Cupping or Facial Gua Sha as part of any 1 hour session or book a la carte

Our facial cupping or facial gua sha sessions can be added (if advised by your therapist) at no extra charge to most cosmetic acupuncture appointments.

Like all of our other value add-on services, there is no extra charge for the service in 1 hour appointments. Facial cupping/facial Gua Sha is only applied when recommended and deemed safe for you by your therapist. We can only apply either Facial Cupping OR Facial Gua Sha within each appointment. Let us use our expertise to curate the best treatment for your body.

Facial Cupping/Facial Gua Sha Frequently Asked Questions

Rest assured that our facial cupping rejuvenation techniques are different than body cupping and it is extremely rare to leave marks on the skin. The cups used for facial cupping do not involve fire/flames and are tiny in comparison to the cups we use for fire cupping on the body. We only use the highest quality smooth glass facial cups on the market so we can control the amount of suction and make sure it’s soothing.

Absolutely not; facial cupping feels wonderful! The suction is not as intense as fire cupping used on the body. You will especially love it if you are someone that enjoys having facial rejuvenation treatments done. Often clients fall asleep during facial cupping. Please note the treatment does include a tiny bit of pain-free acupuncture. It will be minimal and very comfortable. We promise.

Facial cupping works to improve your skin from adolescence to your senior years.

  • Teens/20’s – Facial cupping treatments can benefit teens- 20’s for helping to rid waste products in the skin promoting blemish free, flawless skin.
  • For aging skin/30+ – Facial rejuvenation cupping encourages young and tight skin by working with the blood system, collagen and elastin keeping the tissues supple and radiant!

No. Our services are not like traditional facial rejuvenation services. We do not use steam, or oxygen nor do we perform extractions or do extensive facial massage.

For 45 minute appointments, since there is no Acupuncture, the treatment will probably not be covered by insurance. Each plan is different depending on your workplace organization and group benefit plan they’ve chosen. To avoid disappointment,  please check with your insurance provider before booking an appointment. 45 minute Facial Cupping/Facial Cupping receipts will be billed as “Facial Cupping/ Facial Gua Sha” not “Acupuncture”.

Cosmetic Acupuncture appointments will likely include partial coverage and here’s why- The 1 hour Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments are longer. We’ll have more time to include a longer health intake and a more holistic clinical approach to the appointment. We’ll incorporate health and beauty points during this appointment.  Book a 1 hour Cosmetic Acupuncture appointment should Insurance Coverage matter to you.
