Linda MyrbergCellulite and wrinkles - This is how effective Acu Cups are!
It comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is usually applied to the back using glass cups and fire, which creates a negative pressure, which causes the skin to lift and various points to be stimulated to draw out imbalances.
We have created a modern version of them and use them as a tool for deep lymphatic and connective tissue massage, which you can both do on yourself and as a professional massage treatment that you can become certified in.
Acu Cup are suction cups used to stimulate your skin, connective tissue and muscles. It is a very effective way to increase blood and lymph circulation in an area. With the help of "suction cups" negative pressure is created in the skin that affects the connective tissue in the muscles and subcutaneous tissue. The vacuum that is created increases blood flow and helps to transport away waste products in the connective tissue, contributes to increased stimulation of collagen formation in the skin and gives an instant "glow" to the face.
5 minutes of massage with Acu Cups is equivalent to 30 minutes of sports massage – it's perfect for everyone in the family!
Use for/against:

How do I do it?
Lubricate the skin first with oil, cream or lotion.
You simply press your cups together against the skin and a negative pressure is created in the skin, which is lifted up and affects the connective tissue in the muscles and subcutaneous tissue. In dense connective tissue, more waste products accumulate, but through the vacuum that is created, blood flow increases, it increases fluid flow and a cleansing process begins. Feel free to use circular movements towards the lymph nodes, if it hurts, relieve the pressure by squeezing the cup together.
Cupping on the body can be performed once or twice a day for the first few weeks and then once or twice a week. Cupping can be local to certain points or performed as a massage. The cups should not be left on the same point for more than a few seconds if they are to be used as a massage tool, to avoid bruising. On the face, they can be used as part of the morning and evening cleansing routine in conjunction with applying day/night cream.
Improve your cupping effect by:
Good and healthy diet, regular exercise, dry brushing and sauna bathing.
It is important to have an extra water intake as the excretion of toxins in the body increases.
When should I avoid cupping?
Avoid cupping if you suffer from heart problems, high blood pressure, are diabetic, have had a stroke, are pregnant or are taking blood thinners.
- The cups are cleaned well after each treatment with soap and water.
- The ACU CUPS set contains 4 sizes. The two smallest ones are for the face and the large ones for the body.
