What Is Facial Cupping?
Facial Cupping is a wellness-focused service that uses small specialized cups applied to selected areas of the face.
The treatment is performed using gentle suction techniques and is tailored to the individual's preferences, comfort level, and wellness goals.
At Relief Plus Wellness, Facial Cupping is provided in a professional and comfortable environment by trained practitioners.
Why Do People Choose Facial Cupping?

Some people incorporate Facial Cupping into their regular wellness routine, while others are interested in exploring different facial wellness services available at our clinic.
Every individual's goals and preferences are unique, which is why treatment recommendations are personalized accordingly.
What Happens During a Consultation?
Before treatment, your practitioner will discuss:
- Your wellness goals

This consultation helps ensure that the treatment approach is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
What Should I Expect During Treatment?

Are Temporary Marks Common?
Facial Cupping is performed differently from body cupping treatments.
