Join Sakina Di Pace, Chinese Medicine practitioner and Founder of The Facial Cupping Expert.
Sakina has been practicing acupuncture for the past 10 years, both in the UK and in the US. She started using Facial Cupping, in addition to her needles, to help alleviate the pain of some patients with nerve conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, and to stimulate muscle strength in paralysis cases such as Bell’s Palsy.
Realising how beneficial Facial Cupping was to her patients, she decided to incorporate it into her Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments in order to improve facial muscle tone.
Sakina believes that the most effective skincare routines are built on the foundation of simplicity and consistency. The facial cupping journey begins with education and her enthusiasm and pro-active support will keep you going long enough for you to see the benefits of facial cupping for yourself.

ABOUT FACE CUPPING:
When you squeeze your Facial Cup onto an area of your face, a gentle suction is created. This draws blood flow towards the surface of your skin. This increased blood flow in the skin underneath the cup and surrounding tissues encourages the formation of new blood vessels.
The suction also creates a controlled mini-trauma in the skin (in the same way as micro-needling and derma-rollers would), which prompts a natural healing process in the skin. More oxygenated blood flows to the area, collagen and fibroblast production is stimulated, and the skin cells are encouraged to reproduce.
The result? Skin that feels and looks more plump, healthy and glowing.
ABOUT FACE GUA SHA:
Face Gua Sha helps to decongest the skin and improves blood flow and circulation. The firm but gentle scraping movements encourage lymph drainage to the face and neck which detoxify, helping to clear sinus congestion, prevent acne, dark skin pigmentation and puffiness or dark circles under the eyes. Learning these easy techniques will dramatically change how your skin looks and feels, collectively reducing fine lines and wrinkles, toning facial muscles, decongesting and detoxing the skin, reducing eye puffiness and dark circles, and promoting a natural, healthy complexion and glow.
