Particular attention should be paid to the choice of a device for vacuum-roller massage. It is worth inquiring about the model of the equipment used in the salon or clinic in advance, because different devices can have different configurations and functions. If you want to purchase a device for personal use, you should pay attention to portable devices that are lightweight and small in size, but at the same time meet all the conditions necessary for a quality massage.
Let's start our review with these devices, and then move on to equipment used in salons and clinics.
Vacuum-roller massage device NOVA NV-600
One of the most effective models on the Ukrainian market.
This is a convenient portable device measuring 28x35 cm and weighing just over 4 kg with a pressure gauge and vacuum power regulator. The device comes with 21 nozzles and silicone tubes, through which the nozzles are connected to the compressor of the device.
The nozzles are divided into 3 groups:
- 12 small glass jars for face, neck and body massage,
- 6 large plastic jars for working with the chest, buttocks, back, thighs, legs,
- 3 anti-cellulite attachments with body rollers.
The device can work as a vacuum device and perform vacuum-roller massage. It works in several programs: 2 for the face and body, a program to increase the tone of the chest and improve its shape, a treatment program.
The device is multifunctional. It performs the following actions:
- performs vacuum-roller anti-cellulite massage of the body and individual problem areas,
- provides a lifting effect on the face, neck and body, making its contours more attractive,
- improves the shape of the breasts and buttocks thanks to the additional function of vibration action with large cans,
- promotes rapid weight loss in cases of obesity and overweight, while the skin remains firm and elastic,
- provides lymphatic drainage, helps reduce swelling, cleanses the body of harmful substances, improves metabolic processes,
- increases the tone and elasticity of muscles and skin, making a person look younger,
- effectively combats wrinkles on the face and puffiness under the eyes, forms a beautiful oval face,
- stimulates the production and secretion of pituitary hormones that help maintain healthy tone in the body and have antimicrobial properties.
Vacuum roller massage device B 306
Easy-to-use portable device, weighing only 6 kg, and the price is 2 times lower than that of NOVA NV-600. Such a device can be used both in beauty salons and at home.
Like the above-described device, the B 306 is equipped with a pressure gauge, a power control knob and buttons for setting the exposure time. The device has 2 replaceable filters and an oil separator, which provides a double filtration system, which is very important if the device is used on a naked body using massage oils.
The device comes with 3 handles of different sizes. The largest one is designed for body massage, the medium one massages the limbs, and the smallest one massages the face and neck. You can additionally purchase attachments for peeling and cannulas for vacuum facial cleaning for the device.
The device allows for vacuum-roller massage of the face and body, and, if desired, also skin cleansing and peeling.
Vacuum-roller massage on the V 02 device from the Czech company Alvi-Prague can also be performed at home. This portable device weighing about 8 kg and with a power of 60 W can perform vacuum-roller massage of the face, chest and body, as well as vibration effects in problem areas.
The device has special attachments for working in the mammary glands (3 sets of paired attachments), 3 pairs of glass attachments for the body and 3 pairs for the chest, face and neck, 3 roller attachments of different sizes. It has a pressure gauge, adjustment of the intensity of action and can work according to 6 programs intended for different parts of the body.
What can you do with this parting:
- take care of the mammary glands (the device allows for breast lifting and correction, restores its elasticity),
- provide comprehensive facial care (combating puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, removing a double chin, treating acne),
- provide complete body care (increase the elasticity and firmness of the skin),
- treatment of problem areas and excess weight (fight against cellulite, tightening the skin in the abdomen and buttocks, weight loss),
- General health procedures aimed at improving metabolism, removing toxins, restoring lymph flow, improving blood circulation, and stimulating the immune system.
Vacuum-roller massage device Slimming D-528
It is difficult to call it a portable device, because its weight is about 36 kg, the height is 1.2 m, and the width and length are about 45 cm. But this is already a complex device with high adjustable power (maximum 800 W), which in addition to vacuum and vacuum-roller massage also carries out chromo- and thermotherapeutic effects. This is already a salon version of the device for vacuum-roller massage.
Chromotherapeutic effect includes 6 programs of light therapy of drainage-lipolytic nature, and thermotherapeutic effect implies the same number of programs of thermal effect. It is believed that light and heat therapy (heating of tissues with infrared rays) enhance the effect of vacuum-roller massage.
The device comes with 3 attachments - manipulators of various sizes, which are equipped with additional functions: irradiation and heating. Both of these functions can be turned on and off at will. The device is also equipped with a pressure gauge and allows smooth adjustment of pressure, gradually increasing the intensity of the massage, which prevents damage to small capillaries during vacuum-roller massage (slimming mode).
The device provides the ability to work in 2 modes: continuous and pulse. The parameters of the pulse effect are set manually independently, so that the procedure is comfortable for the client.
Another positive feature of the device is the presence of a very quiet compressor, which does not irritate the ears.
The Slimming D-528 device is used in the following cases: for cellulite, to combat localized fat deposits, with impaired blood circulation and lymph flow, swelling, with decreased muscle tone and decreased skin elasticity, with tired legs, and also to improve metabolism in body tissues.
The IB-M8 vacuum-roller massage device is also not considered a portable device. Its “height” is 1.44 m, and its weight is 32 kg. Like the previous device, the IB-M8 device has a complex effect on problem areas, because it combines vacuum and roller (LPG) massage, cavitation, radio wave action (RF body lifting) and tissue heating using infrared radiation.
The latest 8th generation device for combating cellulite has 12 programs, in which the above-described effects are combined, but separated by the time of action and intensity. The choice of program depends on the stage of cellulite and the desired result, i.e. it can be skin lifting, combating local cellulite, general body shaping, weight loss, etc.
In terms of power, the IB-M8 is noticeably inferior to the Slimming D-528 (250 W instead of 800), but it is quite sufficient for an effective massage. Let's say that the popular portable NOVA NV-600, which can be purchased for home use, has a power of only 50 W, which does not detract from its properties, but only affects the duration of the procedures.
The device can be used for obesity and various stages of cellulite, skin neoplasms such as scars and stretch marks, decreased skin turgor and edema.

Vacuum-roller massage device SHAPE V8-С1
Another effective device designed for use in a cosmetology office. The large dimensions of the device (a little over 1 meter in height and 58 kg in weight) and the rather high cost (one of the most expensive devices) are unlikely to meet the requirements of an ordinary buyer. But for clinics and salons providing expensive, highly professional services, such a device will be a godsend, because it uses innovative patented technologies from popular American and Israeli companies (ALUMA and VELASHAPE methods).
The high efficiency of the device is due to the methods used in it:
- vacuum roller massage,
- exposure to bipolar radio wave energy,
- heating of tissues by means of a low-intensity diode infrared laser,
- ultrasonic cavitation.
The fold is formed by vacuum action, and ultrasound cavitation provides pulsating capture of the fold without negative impact on internal organs. Surface heating of the skin is carried out by infrared rays, and radio wave radiation heats deeper tissues. Such multifactorial action greatly enhances the effects of simple massage and the results become visible after the first procedures. This technique is considered the most effective of all existing ones.
The device is equipped with 4 maniples, each of which combines certain effects. The first maniple provides a complex effect of vacuum and ultrasonic cavitation, the second - a combination of RF-effect, vacuum-roller massage and infrared radiation, the third - identical to the second, but excludes mechanical action of rollers, the fourth - a complex of RF-lifting and vacuum massage.
The use of handle 1 is indicated for large areas of the body and allows for a lipolytic and drainage effect, enhances blood circulation and lymph drainage. Handle 2 promotes the breakdown of fat cells, dilates blood vessels in the problem area and improves blood circulation in it, helps to tighten the skin on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Handle 3, which has a smaller working surface compared to the second and first, is used mainly for treating small areas, as well as the lower and upper limbs.
Handle 4 has 3 small attachments of different sizes, which in addition to the described effects promote collagen production and its compaction. Improve the appearance and structure of the skin, provide a lifting effect. Attachments are used for the décolleté and face, neck and delicate area around the eyes.
The device can be used for both cosmetic procedures that allow you to create a beautiful figure and improve the condition of your skin, and for therapeutic manipulations aimed at reducing muscle and joint pain in certain diseases.
The device is equipped with a clear touch menu with graphic prompts, a virtually silent compressor, high power and high efficiency, which allows you to quickly recoup the costs of its purchase. The menu parameters have factory settings, but the cosmetologist has the ability to change them in accordance with the client's needs.
Vacuum-roller massage using the starvac system is also available only in beauty salons and clinics. The Starvac SP original device made in France is very popular due to the high efficiency of the massage performed with its help (vacuum-roller, cupping, reflexology), and it is not for nothing that it won the Grand Prix in the nomination "best device for treating cellulite".
This is a rather large and expensive device weighing just under 50 kg, used in salons for vacuum therapy, lymphatic drainage procedures and anti-cellulite vacuum-roller massage. The unique handle of the device contains 2 rollers, which, with the assistance of vacuum vacuum, form and actively knead the formed skin fold, destroying fat cells. Improved sliding is provided by 2 external rollers, and the blades of the handle enhance the effect of lymphatic drainage and help remove destroyed cells of fat tissue from the body.
Even in the absence of active pressure on the skin, the device provides sufficient effectiveness of anti-cellulite massage, the results of which are clearly visible after 2-3 procedures.
In addition to the vacuum roller massage manipulators, the device kit includes:
- 4 double suction cups are designed for effective action in problem areas. The action of the cups is designed in such a way that it prevents overstretching of the skin under the influence of vacuum and does not injure the tissue. The massage procedure does not cause painful sensations and does not leave bruises. The cups can be used simultaneously, thus reducing the time spent on one massage session.
- 4 large transparent bowls for vacuum massage with a diameter from 40 mm to 10 cm, designed to increase muscle tone, lymphatic drainage and reflexology.
- 3 small cups for vacuum facial massage. They are also used to correct scar formations and work in hard-to-reach places.
The device is easy to use, has an optimal arrangement of accessories on transparent shelves of the stand, can work in constant and pulse mode. It is used for massage of any areas, including the scalp.
Vacuum roller massage b flexy
An effective salon procedure on devices manufactured in Belarus B-Flexy CelluStop. Different models of the device may have different configurations. The first models have push-button control and are equipped with only 1 manipulator for vacuum-roller massage. Models of medium configuration already have a touch screen, work in 18-20 programs, and the manipulator in their set is more advanced. Models of maximum configuration with a touch screen and backlight, in addition to the standard manipulator, have a mini-nozzle designed for massage of the neck, feet, hard-to-reach places and acupuncture. The drug is equipped with a thermographic analyzer of the degree of cellulite.
All B-Flexy equipment operates quietly and efficiently. In terms of vacuum power, these devices surpass their counterparts from different manufacturers while maintaining energy consumption, although this indicator is adjustable in all devices.
In principle, this is a standard high-quality device that combines LPG roller massage and vacuum action. Among the programs included by the manufacturer are:
- 35-minute lipomassages for android and gynoid morphotypes (in the first case, the effect is on the stomach, arms and back, in the second - on the hips, breeches and buttocks), lipomassage for uniform fullness, LPG massage for flabby and weakened skin,
- 25-minute drainage procedure "light legs", lipomassage for men, which helps to tighten the abdomen, strengthen the torso, etc.
Unfortunately, such a device is not suitable for facial massage; new models are used only to increase the tone of the tissues of the collar zone of the neck. In addition, B-Flexy devices are quite expensive, which is not affordable for every salon. Although there is information that the popularity of these devices is no less than that of Starvac devices.
Vacuum roller massage on the Vortex device
It is also considered an excellent replacement for expensive and less effective roller massage. The large size and high price of the device allow it to be used only in beauty salons and clinics.
This is a medium-power device with programming capability and one manipulator designed for body massage, which is produced by a Russian company under the supervision of German specialists on their own equipment. In fact, this is a German-quality device that meets the requirements of the domestic consumer: weight loss, reduction of body volume, fight against cellulite.
Vacuum-roller massage, which provides vibration-mechanical-vacuum effect on the body, can also be performed on the French-made devices "Le Skin V6", "Dermopulse", "Skintonik", the Russian model "Charm" and other devices of Italian, Chinese, Japanese manufacture. All of them are equipped with manipulators of different sizes, making it possible to massage the face and body.
In various devices, vacuum-roller massage can be combined with RF-lifting, infrared skin heating, cavitation. Additional functions help to make the procedure more effective, it is clear that the result in this case will appear faster than in the case of a combination of only roller massage and vacuum exposure. The fact is that superficial and deep heating of tissues contribute to the activation of blood circulation, which in turn improves their nutrition and respiration, restoring normal metabolism.
Devices that combine cavitation and vacuum-roller massage are capable of destroying fat cells more intensively, this is facilitated by an ultrasonic shock wave, which is capable of breaking up even hard objects, such as kidney stones. However, the power of this wave in massage devices is such that it contributes to the destruction of only fat particles. It is clear that cavitation is capable of enhancing tissue heating, which means that devices that combine all these effects (cavitation, radio wave and infrared effects, vacuum and roller massage) can provide greater benefits with fewer procedures.
It is clear that the cost of vacuum roller massage procedures on different devices will differ, but it is most advantageous to purchase a portable version of the device, which, although it will not have additional functions that enhance the effect of classical massage, will be safer from a hygienic point of view.
