I don’t understand how there’s no studies or data backing eastern/alternative practices but yet doctors will back facial injections that May cause nerve damage, infections, allergic reactions, etc. 🤷‍♀️

I have a professional facial every month which includes facial cupping. Honestly, my face looks and feels wonderful afterwards. It lasts for a few weeks and I do have sensitive skin. I've never had any problem with it.

Facial cupping is very different. You put some oil on a face (rosehip for example) and you just slide the cup around from center to the face to outside. You dont bruise. I tried it and reduced puffiness and swelling. It is no different than a facial massage. And if you massage facial wrinkles a couple of times a week they kinda get less noticable. Not a long term effect of course.

Using little silicone facial cups on my face feels fantastic and I definitely notice a plumping and glowy effect. I do it after washing my face and I apply Marula oil generously and try not to go over the same area more than once. The skin does flush but subsides quickly.

I got it from Amazon. I hv started doing myself, great results. Skin gets firm n glowing

Light cupping with a little one made for the face helps me relieve sinus pressure.

As with every facial technique it’s down to knowledge of how the skin works. Frustratingly there’s far too much bad information on the web. To give an analogy would you expect a tree to flourish if you just fed its leaves? No you would go to the root system. Cupping and Gua Sha done correctly Work at a superficial fascia level. This will encourage your lymphatic drainage system which will detoxify your skin, hydrate simplistically allow your skin to work at its optimal level. Stop looking for band aids such as drugs products to rectify secondary skin conditions! Dig deep take Responsibility for your health and skin

Hello Dr. Dray! What are your thoughts about MEWING? I'm really interested to hear it from you. TIA. 😘

[redMaple_QC]

I'm a massage therapist and have been using cupping extensively. It is great for inflammation and very tense muscles.
As far as facial cupping I do it on myself but wouldn't do it on clients. I don't want to be responsible for facial bruising.
The best are comic silicone cups. They have a limited suction. The trick is to keep moving to avoid bruising.

[gigglegrl]

I've done it and it feels fantastic. I think that it is really for stress relief and relaxation more than healing any skin condition. The suction on the facial cups is not very powerful so I think bruising would be unlikely unless someone bruises easily.

I've never heard so many questions in a row. Literally every sentence.

[angilsalinasn]

Hi Dr Dray, any chances you do a video about recover elasticity on the face?

[rhinovirus]

Can you do a video on acupuncture please?

In terms of cupping, I have used silicone suction on the body to address tight facia and it has been a big part of me regaining flexibility and range of motion. I use it in places where fascia has become immobile and it seems to gently breaks up those areas and allow for remobilization, along with stretching, water intake, moisturization... Kind of like what foam rolling can do, but instead of cruching the fascia, kt instead lifts it away from the muscle it is "strangling" at least that is my non medical description of it. Ive also tried on the face and it feels wonderful around my tight jaw and tight forehead. I think it could be a great supplement to facial massage and exercises. I wonder if someone with TMJ might find it beneficial. Thank you as always fkr exploring the topics. I learn so much and my skin issues have imlroved dramatically due to my increased understanding of how simple preventative measures work and eliminating fragrance and zeroing in on the basics. So grateful!

As a massage therapist I just don't believe cupping does anything that it claims to do, face or body. I have a lot of clients who swear by cupping for massage (I don't do it), but I've had it done and saw no benefit - only bruising. If people feel that it helps, go ahead. But I won't waste my money on it until studies show it is beneficial in some way.

[janaenderle]

I’ve never done facial cupping (seems risky), but I do cupping on my husband’s ankle (he’s a massage therapist) to help with an old injury. It is really helpful to promote lymphatic drainage in that area and reduce swelling.

[MikeHeidi]

You have such beautiful skin! May I ask what products you are currently using?

[kalleyzimmerman]

You didn't even talk about lymphatic drainage. That's the biggest benefit to facial cupping. You can get an instant lifting and firming effect when done correctly.

[elginhehe]

Dr. Dray, can you please do a video all about blushing (how it works, why it occurs, how to stop it, medications, etc)? It has been my biggest insecurity for so long and it would be nice to learn about it, especially learn about it from you. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day/night!❤️

[njdawn]

I do believe you have become younger looking as the years have gone by ! I do enjoy your videos and love following your advice on skincare ! Thank you for always sharing 🤗
