Facial Cupping Massage Certificate Course (1 CE) (Udemy.com)

Master Facial Cupping Massage Techniques for Lymphatic Drainage, Facial Muscles, Wrinkles & Skin

In this Facial Cupping Massage course, Manual Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher Michael Eric Everson guides you through practical facial cupping techniques that can be incorporated into professional massage, facial and aesthetic services.

Facial cupping massage uses small facial cups and controlled suction to work with the skin and superficial tissues of the face, jaw, neck and scalp. When combined with facial massage techniques, facial cupping can be used as a relaxing and rejuvenating addition to a professional treatment.

You’ll learn how to safely handle facial cups, apply appropriate levels of suction, and use specific movements and techniques for different areas of the face. The course also explores facial anatomy, facial muscles, lymphatic drainage concepts and common areas of facial tension.

Facial Cupping for Massage & Aesthetic Services

Facial cupping can be used as a standalone facial treatment or as an add-on to massage therapy, facial massage, skin-care and aesthetic services.

Because facial cupping uses smaller cups and gentler suction than many forms of body cupping, the techniques require careful attention to pressure, movement, skin sensitivity and treatment area.

You’ll learn how to work systematically across the face while considering the underlying facial muscles, skin and connective tissues.

Facial Cupping, Lymphatic Drainage & Facial Massage

This course explores the relationship between facial cupping and lymphatic drainage techniques, including gentle directional movements used around the face and neck.

You’ll also learn how facial massage and cupping can be combined to create a relaxing treatment focused on facial tension, puffiness and overall skin appearance.

The course covers areas including:

• Forehead and scalp

• Eyes and cheeks

• Nose and sinus area

• Lips and mouth

• Jaw and chin

• Neck

• Facial muscles and areas of tension

Jaw Tension, Bruxism & Facial Massage

The jaw is an important area of facial massage because many clients experience tension around the masseter, temporalis, jaw and neck.

You’ll learn facial cupping and massage techniques that can be incorporated around these areas, including considerations for clients who experience jaw clenching or bruxism.

The course is educational and does not diagnose or treat TMJ disorders or other medical conditions.

Skin Appearance & Facial Rejuvenation

Facial cupping is also commonly incorporated into beauty and facial treatments focused on the appearance of the skin.

You’ll explore techniques that can be used as part of a facial massage routine addressing:

• Facial puffiness

• The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Skin tone and overall facial appearance

• Facial tension

• Jawline, chin and neck

• Relaxation and rejuvenation

Rather than simply applying suction, you’ll learn specific facial cupping movements, positioning and treatment sequences so you can incorporate the technique into a professional facial or massage service.
