Face and Body Cupping

Shannon Gilmarten

Face & Body Cupping provides a comprehensive guide to the safest and most effective professional techniques for face cupping to enhance cosmetic rejuvenation and body cupping for cellulite reduction and contouring. Written by internationally recognized educator Shannon Gilmartin, this book presents a specialized program designed for bodywork professionals and cupping practitioners. 

Cupping has become a widely used therapeutic practice among acupuncturists, massage therapists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and estheticians. When applied correctly, it offers a wide range of benefits—from muscle relief and stress reduction to addressing complex pathological conditions. Among its many applications, one of the most popular is its use for cosmetic enhancement.

This book explores the physiological effects of cupping, the body’s response to treatment, and the anatomical structures involved, with a focus on the integumentary, circulatory, and muscular systems. Step-by-step photographs and detailed instructions guide readers through various cupping techniques, equipment selection, application methods, and essential pre- and post-treatment care to maximize results.
