Varieties of anti-cellulite massagers and their use
Cellulite is becoming a problem for many women, and absolutely any age. Therefore, the topic of fighting this "enemy" of female beauty always remains relevant. There are currently a lot of methods of struggle, but anti-cellulite massagers occupy a leading position in this matter. Therefore, it is worth considering in more detail their varieties and rules of use.
What it is?
The anti-cellulite massager can be presented in a wide variety of variations - from a special brush with stiff bristles to a powerful apparatus that acts on the body using different programs. But in the end, each of them to a different extent affects the body in this way, which due to the impact - mechanical or electrical - improves blood circulation, all processes in the subcutaneous layer of fat proceed faster, toxins are removed, the skin becomes smoother, smoother and more elastic. As a result, extra centimeters go away, if, of course, physical activity and proper nutrition are added to the massager.
It is worth noting that these procedures will have to be carried out long enough and regularly to achieve a visible effect.
There are different types of equipment designed for professional use and home use. The prices are also very different. Therefore, there is an opportunity to both purchase a budget option and buy more expensive equipment. Each woman can choose the model that is more convenient for her to use, as well as choose the appropriate principle of influence. Everyone's skin is different, and therefore for one woman, for example, a powerful vibration massager may be suitable, while for another it will be possible to use only an apparatus with infrared radiation.
It is necessary to pay attention to one more very important point. The massager will not help to get rid of pronounced cellulite once and for all.
First of all, it is very good for use for prophylaxis and is definitely able to strengthen the skin and improve its condition, and can also serve as an additional tool in the fight against cellulite at its initial stage.

Views
There is a very wide variety of body massagers that get rid of cellulite, but they can be conditionally divided into two groups: manual and hardware.
Manual
Most often, many people use manual copies in their different designs, because this is the most budgetary home option and sometimes quite convenient. Let's consider the most commonly used options.
- Wood... It is a brush with a long wooden handle. With the help of such a device, you can do both dry massage and in the shower using gels or scrubs. For softer and more sensitive skin, choose a softer bristle. If you want a more intense impact, you should prefer a harder pile. The comfortable handle allows you to reach different areas and massage yourself. Sometimes in these varieties, the handle may be plastic. On the one hand, there are bristles on the surface, on the other - pimples.
This type of massager exfoliates the skin very well, improves blood circulation. After such a massage, the applied anti-cellulite cream works more effectively.
- Tape... Convenient option for use. It is a tape with balls. Thanks to the convenient handles, you can grip the tape from both sides and massage any area. This type will help not only in the fight against cellulite, but also relieve pain on the back and neck.
Most often it is made of wood. Balls can be plain or serrated.
- Silicone... It is a circle with the same silicone teeth. It fits comfortably on your hand, which allows you to work out different areas. It does not scratch or damage the skin, and the level of pressure depends on the strength of the hands, it is quite easy to adjust. After such a massage, a special cream can be applied to the skin, which will enhance the result.
- Rubber... There are also rubber balls with soft spikes. But rolling it over the body is not very convenient. Much more convenient is a large fitball, which is designed not only for exercise, but also for massage due to its design.
This massage ball can be used to both relax and strengthen the muscles and relieve tension throughout the body.
- Mitten... It is considered a fairly convenient option to combat the "orange peel". Such a device may have a silicone base with soft spikes; options made from coarse fabric are popular. In any case, you can massage the skin well and improve blood circulation.
- Roller... It is made from a variety of materials and has a different shape. The roller can be made of wood, silicone, rubber, plastic. There is always a comfortable handle, while the roller rotates freely. Such a mechanical massager is easy to use.
- Vacuum cans. They have been popular for a long time and do not give up their positions. I come in rubber and glass. The suction cup usually grips a certain area of the body well. With this massage, a special oil or cream is most often used, which contributes to the easy sliding of the cans. Such massage can be done independently, but it is much more convenient if it is done by a specialist, which allows you to cover different areas, including hard-to-reach ones.
Hand tools are sometimes very convenient and quite easy to use. However, many girls prefer a professional approach. In such cases, they go to a beauty salon or choose a more powerful device.
Hardware
Today there are a large number of options with different principles of influence, but with one goal - to improve the quality of the skin.
- Electric... Such a device can have one attachment or several different ones. The principle of operation is simple.

As a rule, such massagers have 2-3 modes, which allows you to adjust the device in accordance with your skin parameters.
It is more convenient to use such a device, since you do not need to make any special efforts. It is enough to hold it in your hand and easily drive it over the surface of the problem area.

This option can be represented by a belt with several modes or a stationary view, which has a stand and a tape that is worn on the body.

- Ultrasonic... Feels like it does not manifest itself in any way, and you might think that there is no effect. But ultrasound is actively used in cosmetology and medicine, in the fight against cellulite it is also applicable. There are more powerful devices in beauty salons, but recently there are more and more models that are perfectly used at home and help to tighten the skin and improve its appearance. Such devices are used with a special conductive gel.
- Vacuum... Such models work on the principle of cans, but are more powerful. The vacuum is created with the help of a special device; special efforts on the part of a person are not required. There are both professional and more compact models for home use.
- Infrared... Feels like it is completely painless, its effect is difficult to feel. But special radiation, leaving the skin surface temperature unchanged, penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, thereby improving the metabolic process, which contributes to the alignment and tightening of the skin.
- Hydromassage... It is an excellent helper in the fight against cellulite, but more powerful options are available in specialized institutions.Smaller options for home use can also be purchased, but the effect will not be as effective. They are installed in the bath.

Since all massagers have different types of effects, it is very difficult to tell in detail about each one. Each device has its own nuances, therefore it will be correct to focus on the specific instructions attached to the device.
But the basic principles are easy to learn.
- Using a mechanical massager, gently perform circular movements in the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, on the legs you should move from bottom to top. In no case should you rub your skin pointlessly using chaotic movements.
- It is best to take a hot bath or shower before the massage., cleanse the skin with a scrub, so it can be even better prepared for the session.
- If vacuum massage is performed, then be sure to use a cream.
- When using a massage belt, you need fasten it well at the waist or another problem area and set the required mode and timer.
- For infrared options, you need to use special glasses, protective eyes, and a special gel. The same composition will be needed when using ultrasound options.
- All sessions should be started with the minimum timestarting at 5 minutes and gradually increasing the time. If, for example, the study of each zone is used manually with a brush or mitten, then at first you can give each zone from 3 to 5 minutes during the first three procedures, and then increase this time to 7 minutes.
- As for devices with the effect of myostimulation, infrared radiation or using currents, there is usually timer is set, which allows you to control the process.
