Vacuum massagers: purpose and varieties

Multifunctional vacuum massagers help to cope with one of the main problems of most women - cellulite. In addition, the devices are indispensable for relaxing the whole body and relieving fatigue and muscle pain.

A vacuum massager, in most cases intended for the body, not only destroys the walls of fat cells, but acts on the lymph, normalizing its microcirculation, and increasing the number of active capillaries. This, in turn, increases collagen production, which means it reduces skin laxity. Muscles under the influence of vacuum massage relax, and the production of the sebaceous glands returns to normal.

The principle of operation of this kind of gadgets is based on pumping and pumping out air into the cavity of special cans or cannulas. The resulting air cushion is soft, but effectively massages the skin of problem areas, irritating not only the epidermis, but also deeper subcutaneous fat deposits, as well as nerve endings.

Regular use of vacuum massagers helps to relieve puffiness, which, in turn, creates a slimming effect... Cells that stop accumulating fluid return to their normal size, the skin is smoothed, and its imperfections are reduced before the eyes - that is, a lymphatic drainage effect occurs.

One of the main advantages of vacuum massagers is considered the absence of damage to the epidermis, getting rid of edema and relaxing the body. The procedure is relatively painless - as a rule, discomfort occurs only in the first sessions. It is also worth mentioning that the results persist for quite a long time if you continue to play sports after the procedure and follow the basic principles of proper nutrition.

The undoubted benefits of gadgets are as follows:

• restoration of skin elasticity;
• reduction of cellulite;
• strengthening of blood vessels;
• getting rid of muscle pain;
• removal of excess fluid.

The devices do not have any particular drawbacks, but home varieties often demonstrate insufficient effectiveness and, for example, fight cellulite only in combination with manual massage. There is also a fairly large number of contraindications for the use of a unit that creates a vacuum effect.

• Experts do not recommend applying a vacuum to the skin if the patient has chronic renal diseases, varicose veins or malignant neoplasms.
• Expansion of the veins is considered the main contraindication, even in the case of home appliances.
• Of course, you shouldn't use the massager on skin prone to inflammation, wounds or cracks.

All vacuum simulators on the market can be divided into homemade and professional... In addition, there are devices that are allowed to act only on the body, as well as special models designed for the face. The latter are most often a massage mask equipped with special electrical stimulators and aimed at fighting wrinkles. During the session, air is pumped in and out, thanks to which the air cushion provides a painless facial massage.

Professional massage machines are usually stationary and are used by professionals for various types of procedures.

Electric models also belong to professional massagers, in which various combinations of temperature conditions and exposure to the skin with laser beams are often provided.

Choosing a vacuum handheld device or an electric massager, you need to decide for what purpose it will be used, that is, what problems it will have to eliminate and on what parts of the body it will be used. For example, to maintain optimal skin condition, subject to regular physical activity and proper nutrition, you can do with silicone cans, and it is better to deal with puffiness on the face under the supervision of a specialist using a professional facial apparatus.

You should always massage with a vacuum device according to the instructions, which may differ for different devices. However, some areas of the body are always prohibited. The vacuum should not be applied to the groin, inner thigh, inner parts of the knee and elbow bends, as well as the lymph nodes. It is equally important to avoid the kidney and heart areas during the massage.

Massaging is carried out in accordance with the lines of movement of the lymph, that is, from the ankles to the knees, from the hands to the shoulders and from the knees to the thighs. The abdomen is processed clockwise. Each problem area is processed no more than a quarter of an hour. The first sessions should be carried out even less - about 5 minutes, so as not to provoke bruises or even bruising.

The course of procedures usually consists of 15 sessions with obligatory one-day breaks... You can repeat the course a month later to consolidate the result. It is also recommended to follow a drinking regimen during the course in order to accelerate the elimination of fats and toxins split by the massager. After the vacuum massage, a shower is taken, ideally a contrast shower. If the procedure was carried out in order to get rid of the "orange peel", then additionally it is worth treating the problem areas with an anti-cellulite cream.

There are a huge number of varieties and models of vacuum massagers, and therefore there are different reviews about them, but in general it is quite difficult to detect any negative.

Most users note the painful effect of the application in the first sessions, as well as the need for a long and hard work, but admit that the results do appear. Cellulite does not always disappear, but the skin still becomes smoother and more elastic. Among the pluses it is noted minimal skin trauma and no bruising both for home use and in the salon from a good master. Another positive point is enhancement of the effect of cosmetic products applied after the procedure.
