The latest treatment you should try
There are times we feel the urge to nurse our body, help detoxify, eliminish impurities, rest and recover from our daily busy pace.
We were invited to try the Cup Kiss full body massage at Tips & Toes and left it feeling like we hit the jackpot as this treatment not only makes you feel relaxed from the outside but also healthier from the inside.
Actually, the spa is using a modernised version of the ancient Chinese cupping therapy with our therapist using silicone vaccuum cups on our skin to create suction while massaging our whole body with these cups and dedicated oils.
So, for those who may fear the warm cups that sucks your back, you can feel relaxed as it we experienced something quite different from the original ancient cupping therapy.
How does it work
Before the therapist starts the treatment, there is a form to fill and many questions related to your routine to make sure there is no contra-indication to deliver this treatment.
We then had to choose between 6 different oils for each part of our body (face, back, belly, legs and feet) with innovative names that will help you fight migraines, aches and pains, destress or tend to reduce your cellulite.
Then we let the therapist lead the treatment and during the entire 90 minutes treatment she applied the vaccuuing cups and massaged each single square centimeter of our body with these different oils.
Used on the back or tight muscles, the treatment helps improve blood circulation and gets rid of toxins and waste from the muscles. We were encouraged to drink a lot of water after the treatment to eliminate the toxins and also to not shower and exercise during the next 24 hours following the treatment.
We were surprised that depending on our body parts, the massage would leave us in a deep relaxation – face and back especially – while the sensation would be less pleasant and similar to a ‘palper-rouler’ while our therapist Cindy was applying the cups on our arms, legs and belly.
We really felt re-energised and rejuvenated straight after and it looked as if our body had been awaken from a long hibernation thanks to the more active blood flow circulation.
The various benefits
Actually, this is a great treatment for people suffering from tight and sore muscles, digestive disorders, joint pain, cellulite, headache and migraines, stretch marks and spider veins and more.
Searching about the multiple benefits of this therapy, we found out that it can ‘enhance circulation, causing tissues to release toxins and inflammation , activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, revitalize and oxygenate the skin, improve the appearance of stretch marks , reduce cellulite and clear spider veins . As toxins and inflammation are pulled from the body to the surface of the skin, the lymphatic system (which is stimulated by 300%) eliminates them.’
This 90-minute long Cup Kiss full body massage is available at Tips & Toes salons across Abu Dhabi and is priced at 320 AED. Trust us it is worth every penny!
