Experience the Rejuvenating Benefits of Lymphatic Facial Cupping
At Lymphworks in Fort Collins, we offer facial cupping as a non-invasive, highly effective way to rejuvenate your skin and promote a radiant, youthful appearance. Lymphatic facial cupping utilizes specialty small glass cups (Belle cups) that allow gentle suction to lift, spread, and decompress the tissues of your face, neck, and décolletage. This unique method increases blood & lymphatic flow which helps cleanse the tissues of toxins and excess fluids. It also enhances and supports collagen production, and revitalizes the skins tone, texture, elasticity, and may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and flushes out the "puffiness". Facial cupping helps relax tense muscles and fascia and reduce jaw pain, and support a calm nervous system—all without the need for invasive procedures.
1. Enhanced Blood Circulation
The gentle suction created during facial cupping brings fresh blood and oxygen to the skin’s surface, delivering essential nutrients that enhance skin health and appearance. Increased blood flow supports a more vibrant, even-toned complexion.
2. Stimulation of the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body. By stimulating this system, lymphatic facial cupping aids in removing toxins and reducing inflammation, which can help minimize puffiness and leave your skin looking refreshed and renewed.
3. Collagen and Elastin Production
As we age, collagen and elastin production naturally decreases, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Lymphatic facial cupping promotes the production of these essential proteins, helping to restore firmness and resilience for smoother, younger-looking skin.
4. Relief from Tension and Stress
Beyond skin benefits, lymphatic facial cupping also has a relaxing effect on the body and mind. The gentle suction eases tension in the facial and JAW muscles, alleviating symptoms related to TMJ disorders, headaches, and nerve pain, including trigeminal neuralgia. Many clients find this treatment deeply calming and enjoy the stress-relieving benefits it provides.
5. Improvement in Skin Tone and Texture
This treatment helps improve skin texture by breaking down scar tissue and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. The suction technique encourages cell repair, helping to create a more even texture, refined pores, and a radiant glow.
6. Reduced Swelling and Puffiness
By moving lymphatic fluid away from the face, lymphatic facial cupping reduces swelling and puffiness, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. This detoxifying effect helps you achieve a brightened complexion and more youthful contour.
7. Natural Facial Sculpting and Beauty Enhancement with No Downtime
Unlike some invasive esthetic procedures, facial cupping offers a natural approach to beauty. The toning and lifting effect on the fascia and fat pads of the face can create contour and sculpting of the face and many clients indicate they look younger. With no downtime, you can enjoy visibly revitalized skin with a youthful glow immediately after your session.
8. Customized to Your Needs
At Lymphworks, we tailor each cupping session to your unique skin needs and preferences. We use high-quality serums or barrier balms to nourish the skin during treatment, ensuring a deeply hydrating and soothing experience.

There are a few things to be aware of if you are interested in receiving cupping on the face, neck and décolletage. Be certain to bring these items up if they apply to you to discuss with your Lymphatic cupping therapist:
Any botox or fillers: The general rule of thumb is a minimum of 2 weeks before cupping after botox or filler. Please discuss with your injector first and also be aware that applying cupping to an injection site will increase circulation and therefore, metabolize drugs and debris out of the area more quickly. When placed well, filler will likely not migrate but this may be a concern when a applying cupping or sculpting techniques.
Scars in the area less than 6 weeks old: Scars mature around 6 weeks and this is the time when we know they are no longer a risk of being re-opened. Please do not schedule facial cupping until this time.
Active severe or Cystic facial acne: While the therapist can avoid a small area of active breakout, please consider postponing your session until the risk of spreading bacteria has been reduced.
Open facial wound or lesion, active migraine, acute infection or fever (first 24 to 48 hours) or skin infection in area, active herpes or cold sore are all situations in where facial cupping will be avoided.

This may severely limit your range of movement, posture, mood, lymph and blood circulation, and create pain or restriction on nerves along with other symptoms such as weakness, numbness, or tingling.
