Technique and application

Gentle pumping motions *
This technique is gentle and consists of light, pumping motions, where the suction cup is gently pressed against the skin – like small heartbeats.
It is an ideal method for sensitive, delicate, or mature skin, which may be too reactive to more intensive cupping techniques.
Gentle pumping motions are also suitable around the eye area, where the skin is thin and delicate, and where it is important to avoid too much pulling.
The technique supports lymphatic drainage and can contribute to a more radiant and youthful skin tone without stressing the skin.

Gliding motions **
With this gentle form of facial treatment, the suction cup glides slowly over the skin. It is ideal for draining lymphatic fluid and reducing swelling.
This technique also helps to release tension and increase blood circulation – but in a more superficial way than circular movements.
Gliding motions are often recommended to achieve a soothing and relaxing effect and are particularly good for improving skin tone and texture.

Circular motions ***
This technique involves rotating the suction cup in small circles on a specific area of the face.
It is a more intense method that focuses on releasing and dissolving tension in muscles and fascia – the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles.
Circular motions go deeper than the other techniques and function as a deep-tissue facial massage that maximizes the stimulation of blood circulation.
The method is suitable for those who want to work more intensely with the contours of the face and achieve a more firming and smoothing effect.


The choice of movement technique 
- depends on your skin type, sensitivity, and the results you want to achieve with facial cups.
While circular motions offer deep stimulation, gliding and gentle pumping motions provide a more superficial and gentle approach – ideal for sensitive skin and lymphatic drainage.

Is it safe to recommend cupping for all skin types?
Yes, as long as proper technique and lubricant are used. For very sensitive or inflamed skin, start with short sessions and light suction.

What makes OBSIDO®'s suction cups different?
They have an improved base for optimal suction, are made of silky smooth and anti-lint silicone. They combine function with Nordic design.

Should the customer use oil?
Yes – cleansing balm, oil, or cleansing milk is recommended to ensure proper glide and prevent irritation.

How often should the customer use the suction cups at home?
3–4 times a week as a starting point. More often if the skin allows.

How can I best introduce the product in my clinic?
Briefly demonstrate the technique during treatment, and offer a guide with purchase. Actively use the products in your own treatments to increase credibility.
