Human civilization has existed for decades, and during this time it has developed, acquired new knowledge and skills. One day, a person discovered that by mechanically affecting the skin, muscle tension can be relieved, which in turn has an analgesic effect. But only after thousands of years did the idea arise to facilitate effective medical procedures by replacing human hands with machines. Vacuum roller massage is one of the most modern and popular developments of mankind, which has found wide application not only for medical but also for cosmetic purposes.

History of vacuum roller massage

Massage procedures have been used by mankind since ancient times. However, for many centuries massage was considered a purely therapeutic procedure that helped to combat pain syndrome without medication. All manipulations were performed manually, because the very name of the procedure, translated from Greek, means squeezing the body with hands.

But mechanical action on the body can be carried out not only with the help of hands. And this was also not a secret for our distant ancestors. This is confirmed by the active use of cupping massage in Ancient Greece, China, Kievan Rus. True, the cups at that time had slightly different shapes and materials, but the principle of action was the same.

At first, the so-called "cups" were used for bloodletting and sucking out "bad blood", but later this type of massage began to be used more widely: for the treatment of osteochondrosis and curvature of the spine, radiculitis, hypertension, VSD, diseases of the pelvic organs and nervous system, myositis, etc.

Many of us remember cupping (which is the prototype of modern vacuum massage) from childhood, because they were once very actively used in the treatment of colds that occurred without an increase in temperature (bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, etc.). A little later, they began to be used to combat obesity. And when the issue of beauty and elasticity of women's skin became relevant and fashionable, cupping massage acquired a new direction of its application - the fight against cellulite.

Massage became more widely used at the end of the last century. At that time, this treatment procedure was used to reduce the severity of cicatricial changes in the skin. Until 1986, it was performed manually, but the French engineer L. P. Gauthier proposed replacing human labor with machine labor. He felt sorry for the massage therapists who had to massage his body every day for 3-4 hours to get rid of the unsightly scars left after the accident.

The Frenchman was so carried away by the idea of creating an effective massage device that he worked on it for 26 years. Thanks to him, several generations of massage devices were released, each of which was improved, acquired new features and capabilities.

Vacuum roller massage is an idea of combining the beneficial properties of regular massage (mechanical) and cupping (vacuum). Vacuum provides skin warming, improves blood circulation, promotes the destruction of fat capsules, and enhances lymphatic drainage. And the function of the fingers in the devices is performed by rollers, which in turn enhance the fluidity of fat, improve vascular permeability, and reduce swelling.

This double effect has proven to be more effective in many cases than separate regular or cupping massage. It is not surprising that this type of massage has become one of the most popular and sought-after in beauty salons and some medical centers today, where the seventh generation of massage devices is already in use.

Indications for the procedure

We can talk at length about how brilliant the idea was to combine two effective actions in one massage procedure, but it is unlikely to bring the reader closer to the main question: in what cases does the use of such procedures have a healing effect. After all, like any other type of massage procedure, vacuum-roller massage has its own indications for implementation.

It should be said right away that the procedure described is related to the category of hardware technologies that modern cosmetology clinics and centers are proud of. But before going there, you need to think carefully about what problem a person wants to solve by undergoing a course of massage procedures (and sometimes more than one).

Most often, hardware technologies, including vacuum-roller massage, are used for weight loss. Massage can be used both as a monotherapy for excess weight and unsightly curves of the body formed by the growth of fatty tissue, and in combination with other methods: diet, physical activity, special exercises.

Massage procedures can be prescribed by a doctor or cosmetologist both for increased body weight with uniform distribution of fat mass (including obesity), and for localized obesity, when fat cells accumulate in certain areas of the body.

Another problem considered to be the scourge of our time is cellulite. If previously a woman could hide all the flaws of her body under clothes, then the reduction of wardrobe items on the body and the amount of fabric in them, which is dictated to us by fashion, forces us to pay special attention to our skin and its condition. "Orange peel" is not considered a woman's adornment, so ladies diligently strive to get rid of it. And the most effective method of getting rid of cellulite is considered to be anti-cellulite vacuum-roller massage, which breaks down fat cells that form the bumpy structure of the skin and facilitates their removal.

In what other cases can you seek the help of a massage therapist:

  • If a person notices undesirable age-related changes in the condition of the skin and muscles:
    • the skin has lost its former elasticity, has become flabby and wrinkled,
    • a decrease in muscle tone is noted, which manifests itself in sagging buttocks and abdomen, flabby body structure, sagging skin and muscles in the shoulder area, a floating oval of the face, a decrease in muscle definition, etc.
  • If the decrease in skin elasticity and muscle turgor occurred as a result of sudden weight loss, regardless of the cause (if the cause was a disease, then tissue elasticity restoration is carried out not in the acute period, but after recovery or during a period of stable remission).
  • If a person is struggling with excess weight and illnesses through strict diets and/or intense physical exercise, and there is a risk of unsightly stretch marks appearing on the skin.
  • If stretch marks appeared on a woman’s skin during pregnancy (vacuum roller massage is performed after childbirth and the period of recovery of the body, when a young mother can take care of the beauty of her body, while breastfeeding is not a contraindication to the procedure).
  • If a person has a tendency to muscle spasms.
  • If swelling appears on the body that is not associated with kidney or heart disease.
  • If after heavy physical exertion a person feels severe fatigue and muscle pain.

In addition, complex massage procedures are used to reduce the severity of postoperative scars and marks (due to improved metabolic processes in tissues), with lymph stagnation and blood microcirculation disorders.

Benefits of vacuum roller massage

Vacuum and vacuum-roller massage are procedures that are effective for correcting age-related changes in the face and body, changes caused by illness, physical inactivity or the desire for slimness. The vacuum created in the device nozzle helps to draw the skin inward. At the same time, blood circulation in the area of impact improves and lymphatic drainage increases.

How is this useful? We know that all harmful substances are removed from our body mainly by the lymphatic system. Bacteria and viruses destroyed by the immune system or by drug therapy, toxic substances and poisons that enter the body with food and water or are the product of the vital activity of microorganisms - the lymphatic system, like a sewer, removes all unnecessary things. The more actively the lymph washes various cells and tissues of the body, the faster and more effectively the body gets rid of what prevents it from functioning normally.

Rollers in massage devices help knead the prepared area of the body, they weaken the connections between fat cells, destroy the strands formed from connective tissue, due to which the skin acquires a bumpy structure. The combined mechanical and vacuum action helps effectively destroy the membranes of fat cells and facilitates their removal from the body through sweat and sebaceous glands.

Mechanical impact on body tissues has a relaxing and toning effect, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, improves the body's health, improves metabolism and tissue nutrition, and increases immunity.

How does this happen? The proliferation of fat cells and the formation of fibrous tissue strands around them not only forms a bumpy skin structure, this process disrupts microcirculation in the tissues, squeezing them with its mass. Impaired blood circulation leads to deterioration of tissue nutrition and deterioration of their condition (the production of collagen and elastin decreases, the skin and muscles become flabby).

Vacuum helps to attract blood to the problem area. Nutrients and oxygen are delivered there along with the blood. Thanks to enhanced lymphatic drainage, the blood and all cells of the body are cleansed of harmful substances. Among them we find poisons and toxins, fat cells destroyed by massage – what is the basis of cellulite. Mechanical action helps to more effectively destroy fat deposits, stimulates blood circulation and metabolism, helps to remove water accumulating in the intercellular space of fatty tissues, which causes edema.

Massage stimulates the production and renewal of collagen fibers in the body, which helps restore skin elasticity, reduces the severity of wrinkles, and provides a lifting effect (tightens the skin). Direct action of the rollers of the massage device on the skin helps exfoliate the keratinized layers of the epidermis, renew the upper layer of the skin, which makes it even more attractive.

How does massage affect scar tissue? By improving blood microcirculation and cell respiration, vacuum-roller massage promotes faster maturation of scar tissue, which consists mainly of collagen and is characterized by greater density and low elasticity. Improved respiration and metabolism in the scar area promote the resorption of such a neoplasm, which becomes softer and lighter. At the same time, the itching that torments patients, which is observed during the maturation of the scar until the end of this process, also disappears.

During the massage, nervous and muscular tension, fatigue, and pain in the body and limbs are additionally relieved. Such massage is an excellent preventative measure against painful muscle spasms.

Vacuum roller massage is also very useful for local obesity, which is not easy to get rid of with the help of popular nanch diets and dietary supplements for weight loss. The fact is that fat usually goes away from problem areas last, so body shaping is very difficult and often does not bring the results you would like. For example, along with full hips, gorgeous breasts also go away, and the oval of the face changes.

Massage allows you to act not in a generalized manner, but only in those areas where correction is required: on the hips, in the abdominal area, on the sides, reducing the accumulation of fatty tissue where it is most noticeable, and not evenly throughout the body. It turns out that for weight loss, massage and diet can be considered equivalent, but for selective correction of the figure, massage is more suitable.

The reflex action of the massage rollers on individual points of the human body helps relieve tension, stimulates the immune system, and provides a general health effect. Improved blood circulation and lymph flow in individual areas improves this process in the body as a whole, it is clear that this will have a positive effect on the functioning of internal organs and various systems in the body. In fact, this is an opportunity to improve your health without using medications.

Preparation

Vacuum roller massage is a medical and cosmetic procedure that requires certain simple preparation, which is necessary regardless of whether the massage course is in a specialized salon or the person has previously purchased a vacuum roller massage device for home use and is now doing the massage on their own.

And yet, before you start using the device, it is advisable to consult a doctor or cosmetologist (depending on the existing problems), because it is the specialist who can accurately identify problem areas and the number of sessions needed for correction. The question of whether it is necessary to undergo massage sessions in a clinic (and this can cost a lot of money) or save on purchasing a portable device, a person decides for himself.

What do you need to prepare for a massage? In addition to consulting a specialist, it is advisable to review your diet in favor of low-fat and low-calorie foods within 3 days before the first procedure. It is better to refuse smoked, fried and spicy foods that stimulate the appetite, as well as alcoholic beverages.

This requirement is more relevant for those whose goal is to lose weight or get rid of the "orange peel" on the stomach, thighs and some other places. For these and other problems, an increased drinking regime is recommended the day before the massage. 2-3 hours before the session, you should drink about 1 liter of liquid, and another glass of water is recommended 20 minutes before the start of the session.

But the last meal should be taken no later than 2 hours before the start of massage procedures.

Workwear

Vacuum roller massage is considered one of the most effective methods of combating excess weight and cellulite. But at the same time, it belongs to the category of hardware technologies, and it is necessary to understand that the rollers of the manipulator directly contact the client's naked body during the procedure. But the cosmetologist has more than one client, and it is not always possible to carry out sufficient disinfection of the attachments in a short time, which can pose a danger to human health and does not comply with sanitary and hygienic standards.

To protect the body from contact with the rollers of the massager, special suits for vacuum roller massage are provided. The massage is carried out through the fabric of the suit, but does not reduce the effectiveness of the impact, but contributes to hygienic requirements and prevents stretching of the skin.

The suits are made of thin fabric containing 93 percent polyamide and elastane. It is easy to wash in warm water and can be used repeatedly. You do not need to wear underwear under the suit, because despite the tightness, it hides intimate areas (they are marked with opaque areas, while the areas that may require correction appear translucent, which makes it possible to control the intensity of the impact by the color of the body.

You can buy "special clothing" directly from the massage therapist, since it is often offered in a package with the purchased device. The price of the suit is not included in the cost of the procedure. If desired, such clothing for personal use can be purchased in specialized stores or ordered online.

The only disadvantage of such suits is that they cannot be used for vacuum-roller massage with additional functions, since they prevent good tissue warming.

Who to contact?

Technique vacuum-roller massage

Vacuum roller massage is a procedure that can be performed both in a beauty salon or clinic, and at home. It is clear that by choosing salon procedures that include complex effects, you can get the best results. But here, too, everything often depends on the professionalism of the massage therapist, no less than with manual massage.

When going to the first procedure, a person usually already knows what device will be used for the massage and what type of massage procedures will be relevant. If it is a simple vacuum-roller massage, the person chooses whether to buy a special suit or agree to unprotected exposure, which involves contact of the device rollers with the naked body. The use of cavitation, radiofrequency and infrared functions involves the procedure without a suit.

If the massage is performed without protective equipment, the client undresses to his underwear, after which he is asked to lie down on the couch, where the procedure is performed. Even the most bulky devices for vacuum-roller massage remain quite mobile. They can be moved and installed so that it is convenient for both the master and the client, and at the same time the aesthetic appearance of the office, which should promote relaxation and a positive mood, is not damaged. Usually, pleasant music is played for clients, which helps them successfully endure a rather long procedure.

The duration of the massage depends on the number of zones being worked on and can vary from 20 minutes to 1 hour, regardless of the type of action: static (vacuum) or dynamic (vacuum-roller). Thus, a vacuum-roller massage of the abdomen, which does not involve active actions in that zone and is limited to the effect of the vacuum on the areas of accumulation of fatty tissue, usually takes about 45 minutes. A cosmetologist spends about 20 minutes on a vacuum-roller massage of the face, which helps to tone the skin and muscles of the head, while a massage of the upper or lower body takes 2 times longer, and a massage of the whole body will last 1 hour.

Some devices have the ability to treat several zones simultaneously, which makes it possible to reduce the overall procedure time.

Vacuum roller massage is considered more effective for weight loss and cellulite control than classic LPG. But both types of hardware massage require warming up the skin at the beginning of the procedure, which can be done manually or with a device with adjustable power, setting it to minimum at first.

It is recommended to lubricate the treatment area (if the client is not wearing a suit) with special products: massage oils, creams and gels. Usually, the devices have replaceable filters that prevent breakage due to particles of these products getting inside the device during vacuum manipulations. Massage products facilitate the sliding of hands and device attachments on the body, which prevents painful sensations even with active movements of the master. In addition, such products often contain components that help warm up tissues and activate metabolic processes in it, enhancing the effect of massage procedures.

At the beginning of the vacuum-roller body massage procedure, a kind of diagnostics is carried out. The masseur uses his fingers to determine the areas with a bumpy surface, which will be worked on first. Some devices help to assess the degree of cellulite not by eye, but with sufficient accuracy using thermography.

If we are talking about flabbiness of the skin and muscles, then the cosmetologist can assess their condition visually and immediately identify areas that require the use of hardware vacuum-roller massage.

Now it is necessary to improve the lymph flow so that with further vacuum-roller action the destroyed fat cells are immediately removed from the body together with toxins and other substances unnecessary for the body. For this purpose, the doctor moves the nozzle of the device for lymphatic drainage along the lymphatic pathways, paying special attention to the lymph nodes to prevent stagnation of lymph in them.

Next, the massage is performed with manipulators along the massage lines on the body. The pulse mode of the device is intended for reflexotherapy. The pulsation frequency should match the human heart rate. In this way, biologically active points are worked out.

Reflexotherapy helps relieve muscle pain and spasms, promotes relaxation of reflex dermalgic zones. Not many people know that regular strain on the cervical vertebrae and pinching of nerve endings in this area leads to disruptions in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system in this area. And the cervical segments have an anatomical connection with the lateral parts of the legs and buttocks. Failures in the functioning of the nervous system lead to disruption of fluid outflow and the formation of fat cells in this area, the proliferation of fibrous tissue and the formation of the so-called "orange peel". Thus, relaxation of the dermalgic zone in the neck area helps fight cellulite and prevents its recurrence.

When the device switches to the constant suction mode, blood circulation improves, fat cells are destroyed, and fibrous tissue strands that tighten cellulite foci are destroyed. This massage can be performed using vacuum cups or using maniples that combine roller massage and the suction action of a vacuum. The cups are fixed to the body statically, and the maniples are moved around the body by the cosmetologist's hands.

If the device has a special program installed, it regulates the suction power, switching between pulse and constant modes depending on the goals and the area of impact. But the massage therapist can also focus on the client's sensations and adjust some parameters using the buttons on the device's control panel or display.

At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to enhance lymphatic drainage. For this, the pulse mode is again used. Point pulsation helps to open the lymph nodes and enhances lymph flow, which activates the removal of fat cells from the body destroyed during the anti-cellulite massage.

After completing the anti-cellulite massage, it is recommended to apply an anti-cellulite cream to the body. This will prolong the effect of the massage, because the sessions should be held not daily, but 2-3 times a week.

The duration of the massage course is usually determined by the cosmetologist who prescribed the procedure. Depending on the complexity of the situation, the treatment course can contain from 8 to 20 procedures (for a facelift, 4-8 procedures are usually enough). It should be taken into account that each person's body is individual and the results may differ in both speed and quality.

If a repeat course of vacuum roller massage is required, it can only be used after 3 months.

Vacuum roller massage can be performed without leaving your apartment or home, but it is worth remembering a few useful tips so that the manipulations are effective:

  • Before starting the hardware massage, it is recommended to take a shower, but not only to wash off dust and dirt. This will help to pre-warm the body, preparing it for active manipulations.
  • Later, for better tissue warming, you can perform a manual massage of problem areas.
  • Any massage, including hardware massage, is recommended to be performed using special massage products: oils, gels, creams.
  • To achieve the desired effect, you need to know how the movements of the attachments should be directed. The movements should be in the direction of the lymph flow towards the large lymphatic vessels (the body and legs are massaged with movements from the foot upwards, and the stomach - with circular movements clockwise). Random movement of the attachments over the body will not bring any benefit.

Regardless of where a person plans to undergo massage procedures, before the first session, it is necessary to clarify whether there are any contraindications to this procedure, which will help to avoid various complications after it.

Contraindications to the procedure

Vacuum roller massage is a hardware procedure that has standard contraindications that are common to almost all hardware methods and manual massage. There are no age restrictions for this procedure, so older people can use it to keep their bodies in shape and slow down the aging process. Another thing is that some health problems can become an obstacle to the procedures:

  • venous diseases, such as varicose veins or thrombophlebitis,
  • any oncological pathologies, malignant, and often benign neoplasms on the skin,
  • severe arterial hypertension (stages 2 and 3),
  • some blood diseases, especially those characterized by decreased blood clotting,
  • severe forms of cardiovascular diseases,
  • skin diseases in the affected area, especially of an infectious nature,
  • severe forms of diabetes mellitus,
  • osteoporosis.

Relative contraindications are:

  • exacerbation of any chronic diseases,
  • acute viral and bacterial infections,
  • feverish state,
  • pregnancy (anti-edema massage of the legs and face is not prohibited)
  • menstrual bleeding,
  • recent spinal and bone injuries
  • epilepsy.

In these cases, vacuum-roller massage is not prohibited, but the course of treatment will be scheduled for a later time. If a person is sick, then after his recovery or achieving remission in the course of chronic pathologies.

Expectant mothers can resort to massage after childbirth, when the body has recovered a little and returned to normal. In general, vacuum-roller and other types of massage are considered undesirable in the first months after childbirth, and a woman can begin correcting her mammary glands and skin on them after she has finished breastfeeding.

As for bone injuries, contraindications are the impact on the damaged area. So, leg herbs are not an obstacle to facial massage or breast correction.

Since vacuum-roller massage is combined with lymphatic drainage, contraindications may include renal failure, cholelithiasis, and diseases of the lymphatic system. But the electric field of the device for hardware massage can negatively affect the operation of pacemakers, so you should inform your doctor in advance about the presence of an implanted device.

It is not recommended to carry out active massage procedures on people with severe exhaustion and mental disorders, as well as on those who take anticoagulants or drank alcohol the day before.

Massage in the facial area is not performed in cases of ENT diseases, facial skin lesions and facial nerve neuritis.

Consequences after the procedure

It is not for nothing that vacuum roller massage is very popular among women, because this non-invasive procedure allows you to achieve the same effect as liposuction, which was previously considered the only effective method for combating local obesity and cellulite. At the same time, the likelihood of cellulite recurrence after a course of massage is even less than after an operation to pump out fat from problem areas.

The procedure is generally considered safe. The use of protective suits allows you to avoid strong rubbing of the skin by the attachments and its stretching under the influence of the vacuum. If you do not wear a suit, you can avoid the same consequences by using special massage tools that facilitate sliding over the body.

The procedure itself is quite pleasant. It is accompanied by a feeling of warmth and slight tingling of the skin. Any unpleasant symptoms should be immediately reported to the specialist performing the massage so that he can adjust the parameters of the device.

The only unpleasantness that is usually observed after the first sessions of vacuum-roller massage are bruises, which usually appear in people with sensitive skin or increased fragility of blood vessels on the surface of the body. This symptom does not require special treatment and usually goes away on its own in a short time, especially if the hematoma is exposed to cold.

Some people feel a slight chill after the procedure, which is associated with irritation of skin receptors and heating of tissues. The condition is not dangerous to health, it normalizes within the first hour after the session.

Complications after the procedure

The safety of the method of conducting hardware massage using combined mechanical and vacuum action has been proven by many years of practical experience. Usually, vacuum-roller massage itself is not associated with complications that arise in clients. Another matter, if contraindications to hardware massage are not taken into account.

Massage is always associated with the activation of blood circulation. And vacuum massage also actively promotes the intensive flow of lymph. For a healthy person, such an effect will only be beneficial, but in acute infectious diseases it will only contribute to the spread of infection by hematogenous and lymphogenous routes. This will lead to the generalization of the process and deterioration of the patient's condition. If the infection nests on the skin, the same roller attachments can contribute to the transfer of the pathogen from one part of the body to another.

Increasing blood circulation in people with a weak heart and high blood pressure will create excessive strain on the heart. Which is fraught with myocardial infarction or stroke. Carrying out manipulations during menstruation causes increased bleeding.

Increased venous blood flow is also dangerous for people with venous pathologies. Under pressure, vessels can burst, and if there is a tendency to thrombosis, this condition is fraught with a thrombus breaking off (if the thrombus reaches the heart, the person can simply die).

As we have already said, after the first massage sessions, bruises formed by small subcutaneous hemorrhages may appear on the patient's body. If a person has low blood clotting or takes anticoagulants that reduce its viscosity, hemorrhages can easily turn into bleeding with the formation of large hematomas.

We can go on listing possible complications after vacuum-roller massage if contraindications to the procedure are not followed, but even now it is becoming clear that the restrictions to hardware massage were not made by chance. And no matter how much we would like to get a quick weight loss effect or look younger with the help of massage, such pleasure is not always possible and not for everyone.

Care after the procedure

Another positive feature of vacuum-roller massage, in addition to the lack of serious special training, is its self-sufficiency, i.e. the results of the massage effect will be visible even if the client does not stick to a diet and is highly physically active.

Massage sessions are well tolerated, causing no unpleasant symptoms either during the procedure or afterwards, so there is no rehabilitation period as such. Neither in the period between sessions nor after the end of the course of treatment does a person need to have strict restrictions in nutrition and movement. The only thing that is desirable after a massage session is to replenish the body's fluid reserves by drinking plenty of fluids.

In the first minutes after the massage, it is better to avoid sudden movements and excessive stress.

To consolidate the effect of vacuum roller massage, you will still have to make some efforts:

  • revise your diet in favor of vegetables and fruits,
  • drink at least 1.5 liters of liquid per day, avoiding coffee, carbonated and alcoholic drinks,
  • limit the salt content in dishes,
  • move more and make sure that the cervical spine is not overstrained,
  • spend more time outdoors,
  • try to protect yourself from negative thoughts and actions, because a bad neuropsychic state is reflected both in metabolism, contributing to the formation of pathological foci of accumulation of fatty tissue, and in the appearance of human skin.

What to expect from the procedures?

Manufacturers of vacuum and vacuum-roller massage devices promise many beneficial effects after massage procedures. The same is said in the advertisements of beauty salons where such manipulations are performed.

According to the manufacturers and professional cosmetologists, hardware vacuum-roller massage is capable of:

  • rid the client of cellulite regardless of the stage of the disease,
  • make the skin smoother and more elastic, increase its firmness, which will affect the external attractiveness,
  • to rid a person of localized accumulations of fatty tissue in the area of the hips, abdomen, sides, chin,
  • noticeably reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks on the skin,
  • adjust your figure as you wish,
  • reduce body volume and weight by removing excess fluid and fat, eliminate swelling
  • cleanse the body of toxins and harmful substances, increase its defenses,
  • improve blood circulation and metabolism.

How realistic these promises are can be found out only by reading reviews from clients of cosmetology clinics and buyers of devices for home use. No one argues with the fact that massage, if done correctly, increases blood circulation and lymph flow. Removing excess fluid and harmful substances from the body accordingly has a positive effect on the figure and the condition of the skin and muscles.

Intensive blood circulation also improves metabolism in tissues, which are saturated with oxygen and nutrients. It is clear that this will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. But the volumes of this production will still differ at different age periods, and vacuum-roller massage itself is not able to give aged skin a second youth, although it can improve its appearance. In principle, this is also important, because it gives a woman the opportunity to feel younger and more attractive, as the reviews say.

The most difficult thing, according to women, is to fight fat deposits on different parts of the body. It is not so easy to achieve decent results by destroying fat tissue alone. Usually, a woman loses about 4-4.5 kg in 10 sessions. But the results of vacuum-roller massage are strictly individual, as is the rate of weight loss. Therefore, it is not surprising that along with positive reviews, you can find no less negative ones.

Not everyone can improve their body's metabolism and stabilize the fat burning process with just massage, so for some the results of the procedures leave much to be desired or have a short-term effect. In order to consolidate the results of obesity and cellulite treatment, they will also have to follow a diet and maintain physical fitness with daily exercises.

If the goal of massage procedures is not to increase skin tone or combat cellulite, but to reduce body volume, i.e. lose weight, massage sessions can be combined with other effective procedures. In this case, quick results can be achieved by combining vacuum-roller massage and pressotherapy. The latter is a specific effect on the lymphatic system, a kind of air massage with compressed air, which is supplied to a specially tailored suit worn on the patient's body.

For example, some patients claim that 10 pressotherapy procedures combined with 5 sessions of vacuum-roller massage can help you lose not 4 kg, but 7-8 kg, while maintaining the elasticity of your skin and its external attractiveness.

Wraps, which are also recommended to be combined with massage procedures, are also quite helpful in getting rid of fat deposits on certain parts of the body.

Vacuum roller massage, despite all its effectiveness, is not able to solve once and for all the problems of a person who does not strive to consolidate the obtained result. Hypodynamia, nutritional disorders and stress can eventually reduce to "zero" all the efforts of the massage therapist, so you cannot rely only on massage, continuing the static "voyage" on the couch with coffee and a bun. A beautiful figure requires not only material (the cost of the massage or device), but also physical costs, i.e. certain actions to stabilize the result.
