Facial cupping and gua sha are time-honored techniques that merge traditional Chinese medicine with modern techniques. At The AcuBar, we combine both therapies in a relaxing 30-minute facial massage to lift, tone, and rejuvenate your skin. No needles, no downtime, and no toxins.
This is more than skincare- it’s wellness.

Gua Sha and Facial Cupping FAQ
What is Facial Gua Sha & Facial Cupping?
These are traditional, non-invasive therapies designed to improve circulation, lymphatic drainage, and facial muscle tone.
- Gua Sha: Uses smooth stones to glide across the face, releasing tension and promoting circulation.
- Cupping: Uses gentle suction cups to lift and stimulate the skin, improving blood flow and encouraging lymphatic drainage.
Together, they create a relaxing, rejuvenating facial massage that supports skin health from the inside out.
What are the benefits of this treatment?
- Improves circulation and oxygen delivery to the skin
- Reduces puffiness and promotes lymphatic drainage
- Relieves facial tension and jaw tightness
- Smooths fine lines and improves skin elasticity
- Enhances product absorption from serums and oils
- Creates a natural, healthy glow
How long is a session?
A standard session lasts 50-60 minutes, combining both gua sha and facial cupping techniques, with gentle massage to optimize relaxation and circulation. After 30 minutes of facial gua sha and facial cupping, LED light therapy is applied to the face for 25-30 minutes to enhance results.
Does it hurt?
No- this is a gentle, relaxing treatment.
You may feel mild suction or pressure from the cups, or slight scraping sensation from gua sha, but it should never be painful.
Is there any downtime?
Typically no downtime.
Some clients notice mild redness- this usually fades within a few hours. You can resume your normal routine immediately.
How often should I do facial gua sha & cupping?
- For best results, weekly or biweekly sessions are recommended.
- Monthly maintenance helps maintain tone, circulation, and lymphatic drainage.
Can this help with fine lines or sagging skin?
Yes! By increasing blood flow, supporting collagen production, and releasing tension in facial muscles, gua sha and cupping help smooth fine lines, lift sagging areas, and improve skin firmness over time.
Can this treatment help with puffiness or dark circles?
Absolutely. The massage and lymphatic drainage techniques reduce fluid buildup and improve circulation, which can decrease puffiness and brighten the under-eye area.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes- it’s safe for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.
Pressure and technique are customized for each client to avoid irritation.
Can it be combined with other facial treatments?
- Microneedling or nanoneedling (on separate days)
- Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
- LED light therapy
It enhances circulation, relaxes muscles, and boosts serum absorption during combined treatments.
How should I prepare for a session?
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup
- Avoid exfoliating or using strong active ingredients that day
- Drink water to support lymphatic flow and circulation
What should I do after a session?
- Keep your skin hydrated and avoid heavy makeup immediately afterward
- Avoid alcohol or caffeine for optimal circulation
- Apply SPF if heading outdoors — your skin will be more radiant and receptive to protection
When will I see results?
- Immediate: a healthy glow and reduced puffiness
- Short-term: smoother texture and relaxed facial muscles
- Long-term (after multiple sessions): improved tone, lifted features, and more radiant skin overall
Your glow should come naturally.
At The AcuBar, we believe radiant skin starts with balance.
Experience the sculpted, lifted, toxin-free results your body is capable of- all through natural healing.
