What it is?
Many women are considering home treatments as an alternative to salon care. In some cases, this choice bears good fruit. A vacuum facial massager is an analogue of cans for medical treatment familiar to everyone from childhood. The hollow container attaches to the skin, creating an airless space underneath. Blood rushes to the affected area more actively due to the pressure drop.
As a result, the skin is saturated with oxygen. In its cells, a more active production of collagen begins, the cells of the dermis rejuvenate, and elasticity increases. With regular use of vacuum massage, you can easily achieve a reduction in fine mimic wrinkles, smooth nasolabial folds, and remove excess moisture.
Also, massage using a vacuum component makes it possible to:
- relax facial muscles;
- normalize the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands;
- reduce open pores;
- improve complexion.
A hand-made vacuum facial massager looks like a set of cans made of glass, medical grade silicone or rubber. There are also hardware-type models in which you can adjust the pressure level, exert a pulsating effect on the skin.

- Glass... These massagers are complemented by a rubber pump for evacuating air and regulating pressure. They are easy to maintain sterile. Banks are easy to install, suitable for use on hardened and thick skin. Their only drawback is the fragility of glass under shock loads.

How to use it correctly?
The use of a vacuum massager begins with cleansing the skin of the face. It is freed from cosmetics, accumulated impurities, then rinsed with cold water to tone it up. The treatment area is then covered with massage oil suitable for the skin type (in a circular motion). At the same time, the muscles are warmed up before the massage and the basis for the smooth sliding of the massager is created.
Then you need to do the following.
- Banks are installed... It is imperative to control the strength of the contact effect. It should be pretty weak at first.
- A dynamic effect is carried out along the massage lines of the face... It is important to achieve a smooth glide without pulling away.
- The massage continues. For each part of the face, 3 to 5 movements are done. The total duration of the session should not be more than 10-15 minutes. The impact begins from the forehead (with a jar with a diameter of 33 mm), for the glabellar region, a 22 mm version is used. Then attention is paid to the contour of the eye sockets, cheekbones, cheeks, nasolabial folds.
Vacuum massage is done in courses. Enough 10-15 sessions with a break between them at least 7 days. At the end of use, the jars are cleaned and disinfected.
