Thank you! I did see that website but it doesn't seem like they ship to the U.S., it only lists a few European countries they ship to. Is it where most people got their vaculifter?
And what do you think about the silicone cups, like the bellabaci? I read that they are easier to slide than the glass ones. |

This is from the NCN Skincare website - they used to sell them but don't anymore:

FYI – We no longer sell the Vaculifters. I have decided to stop offering anything and everything that doesn’t have the NCN brand label on it.
You can still purchase them from other companies. There’s one in the USA and one in Germany.
To purchase the Vaculifter(s) in the USA, you need to call them. The company is called TheraCupping, and the phone number is: 828-232-1622. I’m not affiliated with them, so please call them if you have any questions.

My cups look like bellabaci.
I'm just not understanding how to use this around the upper eyelids! I hope someone will explain! |

| JaeBlue, where did you get your silicone cups? I see that I can buy a set of 2 silicone cups for $10.95! Bellabaci are $50! They seem so much more expensive and I wonder why, I can find a lot more about them on google, but I can't see what is different about them from just some regular generic silicone ones, like the ones I found on amazon for $10.95. I may just go with the cheap ones and give it a try. The size is 1.5" outer, 0.8" inner diameter. Hope they are good. Of course I am more drawn to the Bellabaci ones, just because I saw some videos they made and read some reviews on them, but I really can't tell what is so special about them (supposedly the maker of them loved cupping but waned to find something that prevented bruising, but not sure what would make them not bruise vs some other silicone cups). |

| I bought very inexpensive silicone cups online (can't remember where). It came with a cup for the body and one for the face. I lubricate my face with a creamy cleanser and a little water and the cup easily glides over my skin. At first, I only applied light suction which you can adjust by squeezing lightly. As my skin got used to it I applied a little more suction. You just have to experiment squeezing and releasing (ok, I know that sounds slightly nasty!).Once you get the hang of it it's easy. I divide my face into left, right and forehead and now spend about 2 min on each section daily. For my upper lids, I glide the cup over my brow and follow the natural arch. I don't squeeze as tightly here for obvious reasons. Facial cupping has made my skin firmer, and smoother than probably anything I've done. |

Thank you Lorene!
When you do your face do you go in any one pattern? In circles or in upward strokes? I've tried to glide my cups above my brows but for some reason have a hard time getting the cup to suction on my forehead as there is no lose skin to grab.
Will try again - thanks for sharing! |

I had recently gotten some of the silicone cups to test this concept out and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a nice method of "facial massage". I then got a set of four glass cups:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310377087081?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and have been using them. I use the largest cup on the main part of my face and it does a great massage. Brings color immediately which leads me to believe it increases blood flow to my face. I haven't been using the cups for very long for at this time I really like cupping massage for the face.
You can control the amount of suction with these cups just fine; I didn't see the need personally to get a vaculifter. |

Hi ya'll,
I just got my bellabaci cups in the mail and started using them yesterday.
Wow, do they hurt! Haha, but it seems to hurt less the longer you do it. I really did a lot, probably 30-40 minutes my first time because I'm so excited to get rid of my cellulite.
I saw one good review with a lot of improvement and have read several good reviews on cellulite improvement with various other types of massages; pressure, etc so I'm feeling hopeful. I'm going to do it on my right leg only so I can compare and contrast right thigh to left thigh.
Can anyone else on here comment on how long it took to see improvement in regards to cellulite? Weeks, months?
Thanks! |

Hi Lorene, can you elaborate on how it made your skin "smoother"? Did you have orange peel texture issues on your face? Blackheads? Large pores?
Thanks so much for your post; it's encouraging! |

After trying many different types of facial cupping (including Vaculifter) I found the following the best (I got mine on ebay, not sure who the seller was). It takes a bit to figure out how to use them, but they are excellent (easy to use, wash; do not loose sucking ability after a while, etc.).

Eeek, I just did this for the first time and apparently did it for too long; I have purple like marks on my face......has anyone else had this happen?
I get confused when they say it' not a bruise; it's trapped energy or dirty lymph because is sure looks like a bruise to me! |

Yes, I have.
I've learned - to be very, very gentle. Very little pressure on the face is best! |

So you got purple marks? Any real damage or was it ok? How long did it take to go away? |

No damage - it's like a light bruise. It took a few days.
This was last summer when I was doing it a lot more than I do now. |

Ok, thanks, yeah, it's the next morning and it already looks better.
Are you doing it less because it wasn't doing much for you? Or because it did and you don't need to do it as much anymore? |

| Any updates with cupping and AALS? I have been doing the gua sha scraping with a spoon on my face for 4 weeks now. |
