Some people use a small rubber pump attached to the mouth of a glass bottle with an opening at the base. The opening is placed over the skin area to try to suck the air then pressing the knob, which pulls the skin making a similar effect to pinch.

How is this technique done?

In this technique you must follow the following steps:
