Indications for the procedure

The scope of application of vacuum massage is quite extensive. Indications for its implementation is to achieve a therapeutic effect in diseases of the upper respiratory tract, musculoskeletal system, osteochondrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, headache, hypertension, and neuritis of the facial nerve. And yet, it is more common in the cosmetic field. Due to the fact that with its help the microcirculation of the blood in the epidermis is enhanced, the metabolic processes are accelerated, the tissues are saturated with oxygen and nutrients, toxins are removed, the vacuum massage has a positive effect on the skin, making it more elastic. It is also used for weight loss, improving the contours of the body, getting rid of cellulite and stretch marks, cicatricial formations, reducing muscle tension after sports and hard physical labor.

Slimming

Often vacuum massage is used in combination with other methods for losing weight. Its effect on weight loss is based on the principle of internal and external pressure drop. Air is forced out of a can or special apparatus, intracellular pressure rises in the zone of its use, due to which the skin penetrates into its vacuum space and fatty tissue is ruptured. This increases the activity of lymph flow, increases metabolism, accelerates the process of burning fat and excretion of decomposition products. Combining vacuum massage with diet and exercise, there is a chance to get good results without sagging loose skin.

With spinal hernia

Spinal hernia is a real disaster of modern people. It causes severe pain, suffering, inability to perform professional and domestic duties. It occurs through the displacement of the vertebral discs, the outflow of fluid at the rupture of its fibrous ring, as a result, the nerve endings of the spinal cord are pinched. Along with conservative and sometimes surgical treatment, massage is applied.

From stretch marks

Stretch marks on the body appear as a result of pregnancy, sharp fluctuations in weight, hormonal disorders, malnutrition and a number of other reasons. They are internal tears of the skin, consist of connective tissue, are localized in the thighs, abdomen, other areas and for women are an unpleasant phenomenon, especially during the beach period, because Do not tan and stand out on the body.

He holds the fold of skin and deeply works it out.

With endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease in which the proliferation of the inner walls of the uterus occurs. It makes itself felt painful and prolonged menstruation, bloody discharge, pain in the sacro-vertebral department. In the first two stages of the disease, radical methods are not applied, but they resort to physiotherapeutic procedures and zonal massage, which relieves tension in the uterus and eliminates stagnation. This eliminates the massage in the lumbar part of the body and abdomen, where the endometrial foci are located. Massage movements should be delicate, with less pressure and shorter in time than usual. Vacuum massage can cope with this, but only with the hands of a specialist. The number of sessions -10-15.

Preparation

Vacuum massage is carried out using special cans or apparatus. Regardless of the method of carrying out, the preparation for it is as follows: the massaged zones are cleaned and heated by rubbing. Then they are greased with fat cream, petroleum jelly or oil. As an oil for vacuum massage, any baseline is used: olive, peach, coconut, almond, etc. It is better to refrain from aggressive warming (with the addition of essential, with pepper). You can proceed to the procedure.

Apparatus for vacuum massage

There are many different developments of devices for vacuum massage. They are equipped with the necessary attachments, some of them with magnetic rollers, providing, simultaneously with the vacuum massage, also magnetic therapy. One of these is the apparatus MVT-01. It is effective for enhancing the blood supply to problem areas of the skin, in the resorption of scars and adhesions, the fight against cellulite, the removal of edema, muscle fatigue and tension, the normalization of pressure, the treatment of chronic pneumonia. In addition, its use raises the immune system, helps out of the depressive state, has a beneficial effect on the psyche. The power of such a device is 50 W, the frequency of the alternating current is 50 Hz, the atmospheric pressure formed in the can is 0.75. Included with him 10 massage tips with magnetic rollers.

Vacuum massage set

Not everyone can afford the saloon procedures of hardware vacuum massage, it also requires additional time, which is not always possible to cut out. The procedure is also possible at home, for this purpose special vacuum massage kits are sold, consisting of silicone, rubber or glass jars of different diameters. They differ in the method of action: in the first two, a vacuum is created by squeezing the case, in glass there is a rubber nozzle for this, the third type is equipped with a vacuum pump. Popular glass jars from previous years, which were set using fire, were removed due to their inconvenience and insecurity.

Silicone and rubber cans

Rubber cans are silicone precursors. They are made of high quality medical rubber, inexpensive, convenient to use. In a set of 4 pieces with a diameter of 22, 35, 50 and 65 cm. The disadvantage is the property of the material to absorb massage creams or oils, which are then poorly washed off and create a breeding ground for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. Silicone has rightly gained popularity as safer and more hygienic. They are sold in pairs or in sets of 4 pieces of different sizes, which is convenient for massaging various problem areas. One option is a vacuum bank "Miracle". The characteristics of the “miracle cans” include their beneficial effect on the skin condition, normalization of skin respiration, improvement of the contractile functions of muscles, stress relief, nervousness and withdrawal from stress. Includes 2 banks.

Glass Vacuum Cans

For modern glass vacuum banks massage do not need to use fire to put them, special nozzles allow you to create thin air. Their positive side in the possibility of a good rinse after use and maneuverability, despite the fixed state. The disadvantages include the danger of breaking and discomfort when touching cold glass to the body. They are sold in sets and individually, there are different diameters from 1.1 cm to 5 cm.

Cans with pump

A real find for vacuum massage are banks with a pump, with which it is possible to adjust the intensity of their effects on the body. They are made of environmentally friendly plastic, sold in sets of different sizes from 2 to 8 mm (6, 12, 24 pieces). Special magnetic nozzles that fit inside the cans have also been developed. Their magnetic field is able to penetrate into the layers of tissue to a depth of 6 to 9 cm. The effect of their use is similar to acupuncture, magnetic therapy and massage in one procedure. As a result, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells and organs increases, the blood and lymph rises to the surface from their depth, which strengthens the blood vessels, relieves pain, and speeds up metabolism.

Technique of the vacuum massage

The technique of canned massage is as follows: one or two cans are placed on the prepared body surface. The distance between them should be at least 4-5cm. The dosage of vacuum strength is individual depending on the sensitivity of the skin. Banks are found along the bloodstream, starting with a small absorption of the skin. For the treatment of various types of diseases or cosmetic problems their areas and directions of movement are used. So, osteochondrosis of the spine requires sliding movements from the bottom upwards from the loin to the cervical vertebra. The cervical vertebra is massaged in a circular motion clockwise around the 7th vertebra, without touching it. Radiculitis requires movements in the lumbar region, bronchitis, pneumonia, acute respiratory infections - from the middle of the back to the shoulders, cellulite - rectilinear and circular in problem areas (buttocks, thighs). The number of movements - 5-6 in one direction, the duration of the entire procedure is 25-30 min. The inside of the thighs, abdomen, and groin area are not massaged. At the end you need to take cover with a warm rug, drink a glass of tea, lie down.

How often can I do a vacuum massage? It all depends on the cause and condition of the person. But on average it is 10-12 sessions, which are held in a day or two. Initially, you can do longer intervals, and after the body becomes accustomed to stress, reducing pain and bruises every other day. It is good to combine vacuum massage with other physiotherapy.

Vacuum cellulite massage

Cellulite is a real nuisance for women sunbathing on the beach, undressing in gyms. Increasingly, you can see very young girls with characteristic tuberosity of the skin, so what is popularly called "orange peel". Men are almost not subject to cellulite. It is suspected that the female sex hormones, estrogens, under the influence of which fat cells are grouped, are to blame for this, cease to secrete waste products and accumulate them in themselves. This process is gradual and over time, fat deposits become dense, overtighten with connective tissue and become visible to the naked eye, disrupting the aesthetics of the body and interfering with normal blood circulation in the tissues. Getting rid of cellulite is most difficult at this stage, but by connecting all possible mechanisms to combat it: diet, anti-cellulite cosmetics, massage and other physiotherapy procedures, you can achieve good results. Particularly effective vacuum massage. With the help of cans in which a vacuum is formed, the skin of the problem areas is drawn inward, stimulating irritation of the skin receptors and rush of blood to them, thereby triggering mechanisms of cellular metabolism and withdrawal of waste and toxins. Such a massage is also needed to prevent the formation of cellulite. You can resort to both manual canned vacuum massage and hardware.

Apparatus vacuum massage

Apparatus vacuum massage is carried out in the salons by specialists. It is quite painful, especially in the first sessions. Relax and enjoy will not work, but its effectiveness is high and very noticeable with cellulite. Initially, the body is prepared for a hardware massage with hands, rubbing and heating it, then lubricated with oil for better sliding, then the device is connected. Attention is paid to each zone separately: first, the stomach, then the front of the thighs, their lateral and posterior surfaces, buttocks, and back. The massage bowl is moved by a different trajectory: in a circle, up and down, sideways, in a zigzag pattern. The skin is heated, the muscles are toned, healthy mechanisms of their functioning are launched.

Vacuum roller massage

Vacuum-roller massage provides an effect on the skin not only through cans, but also special rollers. In this case, the vacuum forms a fold, and the roller rolls it, destroying fat cells. Apply vacuum-roller massage to combat obesity, cellulite, sagging, eliminate swelling, leveling skin texture. The duration of the procedure is on average 45-90 minutes.

There are various modifications of such a massager:

  • Starvac device - a real brand in the world of vacuum-roller massage from the French manufacturer. It is multifunctional, equipped with a computer program, a monitor, with the help of which the operation mode is selected. Starvac is equipped with nozzles in the form of cans of different diameters, which provide compression and release of tissues with the help of vacuum, which leads to the elimination of venous stasis, softening of tissues, stimulation of recovery processes, connection of the body's own reserves to improve cell structure. It is the banks that prepare the surface of the body for the main procedure, which is provided by the nozzle-roller. It forms a skin crease undergoing decompression. Its thickness depends on the distance between the rollers and is automatically selected. Procedures are carried out every 3-4 days. The result is noticeable after the first session: the skin becomes smoother, acquires a tone. The advantages of the apparatus of the woman include the relative painlessness of the procedure, which can not be compared with the manual canned massage;
  • "Nova 600" - is intended for professional use in cosmetology offices. Produced in China. It has software that makes it possible to influence two zones: the face and the body. Individual parameters are entered manually. Including suction time. The functions of the devices are as follows:
    • vacuum massage of the face, chest and body;
    • vibrating chest and body;
    • vacuum roller body and face.

The device includes 6 plastic nozzles of large diameter, 10 pieces of small and medium-sized glass jars and 3 vacuum-roller nozzles 3, 6, 9 cm in cross section. It is possible to work simultaneously with two banks. Access to the skin is cold and warm air. Its alternation, together with the change of pressure in the bank, ensures the flow of blood to the surface, its saturation with oxygen, the removal of slags and toxins. "Nova 600" is effective in combating venous congestion, back pain, lower back and neck pain. It well tightens skin, improves its elasticity, deletes bags under eyes, comedones, the second chin. The duration of the procedure is from 10 to 20 minutes;

  • "Slimming" - the device is programmed to correct the figure using exposure:
    • RF (radio frequency) beams;
    • infrared radiation;
    • vacuum roller function.

The combination of all the technologies gives a quick result in eliminating fat deposits, lifting and improving the contours of the body using a painless and comfortable procedure. The first two types are related to the popular Elos rejuvenation, when, under the influence of light energy and high frequency currents, the production of collagen in the deep layers of the epidermis is stimulated, the vacuum-roller massage activates lymphatic drainage, stimulates blood flow, and accelerates the excretion of metabolic products. Everything in the complex provides a lasting effect.

Suits for vacuum roller massage

The procedure of vacuum-roller massage received deserved recognition as an alternative to liposuction, but there was one small “but” - to carry out a quick disinfection of nozzles. For this purpose, they have invented special costumes that prevent the device from direct contact with the body. It has translucent inserts for exposed areas, and denser, not requiring massage. Another positive aspect of costumes is its ability to protect the body from excessive manipulative effects. The suit is not disposable, after washing it can be reused.

Medical Vacuum Massage

Vacuum body massage

Skillfully conducted vacuum massage of the body can bring not only a cosmetic, but also a healing effect. Let us dwell on which zones it is more effective for, the methods of using it, how long it takes to get the result:

  • vacuum massage of the abdomen - this part of the body is often characterized by persistent fat deposits, stretch marks, is difficult to correct and is the subject of great disappointment for women. If we approach the problem in a comprehensive manner, combining regular (every other day with sessions for 2 weeks) massage with jars with fitness, sauna, anti-cellulite wraps, you can get rid of the problem, as well as improve the bowels, overcome congestion in the pelvic organs. The procedure is carried out 2 hours before meals or 3 after one or two banks. Well steam body in the soul, rub the tummy with a washcloth. Oil is used for easy sliding. The can must stick to the body so that no more than 1.5 cm of skin is captured, the movements are smooth, first clockwise around the navel, gradually moving away from it, then zigzag-like from the center to the periphery in different directions;
  • vacuum back massage is performed to relax the spinal muscles, with back pain, sprain, for cosmetic purposes in the presence of scars and scars. Also, the procedure is shown to strengthen the immune system in case of sleep disorders, nervous disorders, some gynecological diseases. Having established banks on both sides of the spine at a distance of 1-2 cm, you need to smoothly move them in a circle and spirals in the direction of the lymph nodes and from them, without affecting the nodes themselves. After the session, traces of cans are possible, which eventually pass. The average duration of the procedure is 20-30 minutes.

Vacuum dynamic massage directly of the spine is not carried out, except for the seventh cervical vertebra, sacrum, sacrococcygeal and sacral-lumbar articulation. For its good condition strengthen the muscular frame. Static massage allows the establishment of cans along the spine (magnetic vacuum method);

  • neck massage with vacuum can is indicated for osteochondrosis, neuralgia, neuritis, myositis. The most convenient for this banks with a diameter of 33mm.

The movements are made diagonally from the center of the neck at the base of the head to the shoulders in opposite directions, zigzag, exciting muscles of the shoulder joint and shoulder blades. The sides of the neck are not massaged, because there are large blood vessels. You can use static can action. To do this, you need one or two cans just a little lift, not tearing from the body, but not delaying for a long time in one place. The session lasts 15-20 minutes, the treatment is carried out in courses of 10-15 sessions;

The procedure lasts 5-7 minutes and helps from heel spurs, arthrosis and ankle arthritis, after various injuries;
  • vacuum massage of the buttocks - eliminates cellulite, gives them elasticity and beauty. To understand how the massage lines go, you need to mentally draw an isosceles triangle, the top of which is in the center of the waist, the base under the buttocks. The area inside the triangle is massaged from its sides inward, outside of it - from the sides to the sides. This zone requires the maximum strength of the vacuum, however, it is not necessary to bring to strong pain. Massage time - up to 10 minutes;
  • vacuum massage of the hips - performed by large banks, movements can be longitudinal, circular, snake and others. In the prone position, the area from the popliteal cavity upwards is massaged by the fan trajectory, in the pose on the back - horizontally above the knee and at a slight angle above from the outside of the thigh to the inside.

The procedure is carried out with extreme caution, the power of the vacuum is added gradually. The size of the cans is selected depending on the size of the breast, movement - from the center of the sternum to the armpits. Recently, new developments have emerged, designed to significantly increase the volume of the bust without plastic surgery. These are two cups in the form of a bra, into which a vacuum is forced.

  • vacuum massage of the penis - a method of increasing potency in men. The procedure is performed using a special vacuum erector device. The penis is placed in a flask, its tight adherence to the body is ensured, and air is evacuated from it, which leads to swelling of the organ. After 1-2 minutes, the pressure decreases for the same period of time. Alternation is carried out 7-8 times. Such exercises can be done at home, but you need a quality device, equipped with a pressure gauge to determine the pressure force;
  • Vacuum massage of the vagina - was conceived with the preventive purpose to prevent stagnation in the pelvic organs, but is more often used in sexual. The plastic can is installed in the vagina, by changing the pressure in it increases the rush of blood to the genitals, their sensitivity increases, the excitement increases, and the sensations of orgasm become brighter and longer.

Vacuum massage techniques

There are many methods of vacuum massage: static and dynamic, hardware and manual, using the palm and cans, combined with other methods of influence on the body. Let us dwell in more detail on the popular and sought-after, deserving positive reviews from many people.

Honey Vacuum Massage

The use of honey during massage is not uncommon, it is also used in vacuum. Providing a rush of blood to the surface of the skin, accelerating metabolic processes with the help of a vacuum, its nutrients penetrate into the inside of the epidermis. It contains a complex of biologically active substances necessary for good health, including toned and healthy skin. It is best to massage in the bath or sauna, before steaming. Most often, this technique is applied to the back and buttocks. A thin layer of honey is applied to the ground and dry body. Vacuum is created with the help of palms.

To get the effect you need to suffer. After the end of the time to go to the steam room, after drinking water or green tea.

Vacuum lymphatic drainage massage

Lymph is a fluid in our body that washes all its tissues and cells. It performs the transportation of various substances from the tissues into the blood, is responsible for the protective function of microbes and viruses, and participates in the formation of our immunity. Vacuum lymphatic drainage massage contributes to its circulation through the human body. With its help, the outflow of blood and lymph is accelerated, and metabolic processes are accelerated. It is indicated for people with puffiness, overweight, cellulite, weakened immunity. It should be carried out by an expert after examination and permission of the doctor Vacuum lymphatic drainage massage of the face is not preceded by kneading training, its instruments are special vessels with reduced pressure inside. Apply massage with jars in which air is pulsing to the body after warming up with hands. The most effective procedure for the legs: relieves fatigue, swelling, pain. Impact area - from the feet to the thigh muscles.

Laser-vacuum massage

The technique of laser-vacuum massage combines two effective methods of positive effects on the skin: cold laser and low pressure. With this completely painless procedure, skin tightening occurs, body volume decreases, stretch marks, cellulite and flabbiness disappear, and aging of the skin slows down. The laser emitter is attached to the can with a thread. It provides anti-inflammatory, trophic-stimulating and rejuvenating effects of tissues.

Chinese vacuum massage

Vacuum therapy is one of the techniques of traditional Chinese medicine for non-drug healing of the body. With it, eliminate headaches, neuralgia, osteochondrosis, reduce blood pressure, improve sleep and memory, relieve nervous tension. It is believed that the vacuum opens the energy channels, contributes to the release of bad energy from the body and filling it with positive energy. In addition to the usual cans in the Chinese vacuum massage, bamboo is also used. They are put with the help of a lit wick, but the bamboo itself does not heat up, which is its advantage.

Vacuum massage with RF lifting

This method, along with the effect of vacuum on the body, also uses exposure to radio frequency radiation. The nozzles of the apparatus are equipped with electrodes, the radiation of which is directed to the area captured by the can. This gives you the opportunity to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and produce your own collagen, strengthen the dermis. Vacuum massage with rf-lifting  allows you to adjust the contours of the body, get rid of excess fatty deposits and cellulite, activate the lymph flow, enhance the removal of toxins from the body. The device is equipped with nozzles of different sizes, which makes it possible to apply it to a massage of the face, decollete zones, and other body parts. The software installed on it allows you to adjust the pressure and heating by radio frequencies.

Vacuum massage and pressure therapy

Pressotherapy is a hardware method of massage, which consists in squeezing and relaxing the muscles - imitation of muscle contractions. Another name is compression massage. It is carried out with the help of a special one-piece suit or its separate parts, which are put on the problem areas. They are supplied with hoses through which air injection is regulated. There is an alternation of modes of vacuum and compression with a frequency of 0.5-2 minutes. The procedure is carried out in a recumbent form once a week, lasts 45 minutes. There is a feeling that someone squeezes and releases areas of the body, it promotes relaxation and rest, and also provides lymph drainage, the removal of excess fluid and waste, and the strengthening of blood vessels. The combination of vacuum massage with pressure therapy gives a good result in the fight against cellulite, overweight, vascular dystonia, reduced skin tone.

Magnetic Vacuum Massage

Equipping cans with a magnet is more progressive in vacuum massage in comparison with the traditional one. It is located inside the tank, has a shape in the form of a cone, the strength of its magnetic field is 2.5 thousand. Gauss. When a can sucks to the surface of the body, it retracts into it and touches the top of the cone, an acupuncture effect occurs, at the same time the magnetic field penetrates to a depth of 6-9 cm, activating blood circulation and metabolic processes. Banks are equipped with two types of magnetic poles: one north, the other south. The northern control the proper functioning of the organs, the southern - relaxing. Setting cans has several basic principles: along the meridian lines, on the projection of the internal organs, or on the outer problem areas, but in any case, with alternating poles. Chinese scientists claim that a well-performed magnetic vacuum massage can improve the cardiogram, increase the activity of the enzyme that protects the body from atherosclerosis, cancer, hypertension, and prevent the formation of blood clots.

Cavitation and vacuum massage

The cavitation procedure is an ultrasonic liposuction. The principle of its action is based on the effect of the acoustic wave on the extracellular fluid, fat. Under his influence, fat cells are saturated with bubbles and burst, displacing them into the fluid around the cell, which is excreted from the body through metabolic processes within a week. In this case, the combination of cavitation and vacuum massage accelerates metabolic processes and the removal of toxins from the body, eliminates cellulite, reduces the volume of the hips in the “riding breeches” zone.

Shock vacuum massage

The combination of moderate strokes, pats and vacuum exposure, which results in the activation of cellular elements, the normalization of their renewal, regeneration, is the goal of the shock-vacuum massage. It begins with light stroking, pressing the body to determine areas of pain, adhesions. Then alternate exposure to vacuum and slap hands. Their strength depends on the pain threshold of each person. The combination of vibrating effects with deep warming brings relief from pains in the back, muscles, infectious diseases, pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, upper respiratory tract, and the nervous system. Massage is painful, leaves hematomas on the body, but after 3-5 sessions relief comes, restoration of the stagnation zones starts, muscle spasm is relieved. For cosmetic purposes does not apply.

Vacuum Gradient Massage

To mobilize and use biologically active substances, restore vitality, get rid of pain, fat deposits, cellulite - all this is possible under the vacuum-gradient massage. It is suitable for relaxation, with increased nervous excitability, chronic fatigue. It differs from conventional vacuum massage in that several cans of different diameters are used at the same time, due to which a pressure drop occurs in the zones of their localization. For large areas, the effect of vacuum is deeper than that of small areas, but it is also different in places of absorption of the body and outside the cans. The horizontal-vertical pressure drop of the tissues provides the therapeutic factor of the procedure. The first 5 sessions lead to tissue microexplosion (vascular tone decreases, arteriole lumen increases, the number of functioning capillaries), the next 7-8 are therapeutic (regenerative processes are included), followed by regenerative processes (number if desired).

Vacuum massage and wrapping

Increases the effectiveness of the fight against obesity and cellulite supplement vacuum massage wrap. After the massage, a special mixture is applied to the skin, most often consisting of clay, algae or sea salt, the body is wrapped with food film and covered with a thermal blanket. Wraps are both cold and hot, for example, heated honey. The essence of the procedure is to break up fatty compounds with the help of a massage, provide a rush of blood to the surface and make it easier for nutrients to penetrate from the treatment mixture for wrapping. You can be in such a “cocoon” for 20-30 minutes, then unfold it and wash it off under a warm shower. You can do it at home, using yogurt, mustard, honey, vinegar diluted in water.

Underwater vacuum massage
