Will cupping massage cause lines or wrinkles? (Please no filler or Botox recommendations).

Asked By:GreenEyes85 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I have some lines under my eyes that are far worse when I smile (skin bunches up). I've been doing a lymphatic drainage massage (mini facial silicone cup + organic argan oil) to reduce bags and droopiness for almost the past two years. I've found it works well for that but I'm wondering if it's causing my lines? It it touted as actually preventing and helping those things and the people selling the devices say it won't cause those issues. Has anyone ever had any patients that used this method?
