LPG massage is a relatively new procedure and has been around for several decades. It was invented by a French engineer. But not everyone knows what LPG massage is these days.
LPG massage is a hardware procedure during which the body is affected using various modes.
This massage is otherwise called vacuum roller therapy. It is easy to guess that a special device will be moved over your body, which is equipped with movable rods and in addition to this, the skin is suctioned. Thanks to this complex effect, human skin and fatty tissues go through several stages of stress, and as a result, the process of fat burning, strengthening tone, tightening and improving the overall condition of the skin occurs.
Who needs LPG massage
It is not always possible to lead the lifestyle we would like. Incorrect daily routine, improper nutrition, lack of exercise, these and other factors lead to the fact that extra pounds are formed on the legs and hips, the stomach and sides are also not what they used to be.
In such cases, you can resort to various weight loss procedures, this could be body wraps and other types of anti-cellulite massage.
But LPG massage itself is a fairly effective technique. She has proven herself and is popular. This is evidenced by reviews and results about the procedure.
Simply put, LPG massage can be done:
- For cellulite;
- Overweight;
- Contour correction of body contour;
- For loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin;
- Removing the fat layer;
- Treatment of certain skin defects such as burn marks or scars;
- To speed up the rehabilitation of athletes;
- To relieve swelling;
- To improve general condition, relieve muscle tension.
The use of LPG massage is indicated in many cases, not necessarily due to excess weight or cellulite. In fact, massage is quite often used to work with professional athletes.

How does the vacuum massage procedure work?
LPG massage should be carried out by an experienced master, since this process has its own subtleties, and it cannot be carried out at home if there is no equipment and the skillful hands of a master.
The first thing to do is conduct a consultation and assessment. If there are no contraindications, the specialist will conduct an analysis and identify problem areas that will receive the main impact. It must be said that the process of this vacuum massage takes place in a special suit. On which preliminary notes are made about the location of problem areas. In addition, full-length photographs are taken for further comparison.
Since the LPG massage machine is equipped with various modes, the process itself involves stages. First, the massage takes place in a mode that has a general effect and improves blood flow.
Then there is a mode that allows you to reduce body fat, thereby correcting your figure; this is the main mode. And a smoothing mode that has a soothing effect on the skin.

Diet program for LPG massage

When conducting a course of lpg massage of the abdomen or any other part of the body, it is necessary to follow a certain diet.
One important point is to drink plenty of water. Experts advise drinking at least 3 liters per day.
Doctors also advise avoiding or consuming the following categories of foods in minimal quantities:
- flour;
- sweet;
- fried;
- fat;
Of course, each patient has individual characteristics, so before the lpg course it is necessary to create a personal diet with your doctor.

Where to do the procedure:
Contraindications
So, you should refrain from this vacuum massage:
- during breastfeeding;
- in case of infections and serious illnesses;
- with varicose veins;
- for oncological diseases;
- for nervous disorders.
You should avoid the procedure during menstruation and pregnancy.
These are the main contraindications for performing vacuum LPG massage, but before the procedure you will be consulted by an experienced specialist who will conduct an examination on the possibility of performing a massage.
Service cost
The price of LPG massage is not low, since expensive equipment is used and the work of the master is also not easy. The massage itself lasts about 40 minutes. It is more profitable to do this vacuum massage as a course, since salons usually give a good discount.
If in our city, on average, there are millions of people, one procedure of vacuum LPG massage costs about 1,600 rubles, then a course of 10 sessions, the same salon will sell for 13,000 rubles.
In Moscow the price will be slightly higher, as in St. Petersburg, although it depends on the salon and its location. You can also find them at the same prices, or even cheaper. Don’t forget that you need to buy a suit for LPG massage separately, the price of which is about 1000 rubles. But this is directly in the salon. If you look somewhere else, I think there are cheaper ones.
Why do you need a suit for LPG massage?
To carry out the procedure, the client buys special clothing. The suit for LPG massage performs several functions. Human skin is covered with hair, and many massage techniques have an unpleasant sensation when applied to exposed areas. Such clothing allows you to treat any part of the body without discomfort.
The suit is worn over underwear or a naked body. In this case, it plays a hygienic role. The psychological point is important: a person feels dressed, while the fabric does not interfere with the operation of the devices.
What to look for when choosing a suit:
- fabric elasticity;
- strong fit to the body;
- suitable size (it is better to take a size larger);
- soft seams.
France, Russia, and Poland are considered the best costume manufacturers. The price of one set ranges from 1000 rubles. You can buy it either in specialized stores or in a salon that provides the service.

How is the LPG body massage procedure performed?
At the preliminary consultation, parameters and areas of influence, and the presence of contraindications are discussed. Half an hour before the procedure, it is recommended to drink 2 glasses of still drinking water. This helps to quickly remove waste products from the body. Problem areas are marked on the suit and then processed.
The maximum duration of one session is 40–45 minutes. The course requires 15–20 sessions, depending on the complexity of the areas. Course endermotherapy is carried out twice a week, and maintenance procedures – once a month.
After the massage you should refuse food for 3 hours. During this period, it is better to drink clean water at room temperature, 2 – 2.5 liters per day. During treatment, you should exclude highly digestible carbohydrates and fatty foods. Alcohol is contraindicated.
Attention! To achieve lasting results, the drinking regime should be observed during the course of therapy and after it.

LPG massage and its varieties
LPG massage is divided into types of effects depending on the desired result. For each type there are special attachments and techniques.
- Vacuum roller is the most popular painless method. It is used for stage 1 cellulite, the presence of folds in the abdominal area, to give relief to the figure. Thanks to the alternation of two methods of action, it not only “breaks” fat, but tightens the dermis. Basic massage movements: circular vibration, stroking.
- The vacuum method has much in common with classic cupping massage. It differs in the intensity of the impact on local areas. Used for cellulite with obvious signs of “orange peel”; if necessary, treat hard-to-reach areas: folds in the lower abdomen and under the buttocks. Influencing the dermis, it produces a lifting effect and is indicated for flabby skin that has lost turgor. Basic massage techniques: pinching, vibration, stroking.
- The anti-cellulite method is aimed at performing a specific task. Used for advanced stages of cellulite in any area: shoulders, arms, stomach, hips, legs. At the same time, it helps eliminate swelling and lift the skin. Main methods of influence: vibration, twisting, circular movements.
When carrying out LPG massage on the face, a vacuum-roller method and special gentle attachments are used. For sculptural body massage, the method is selected depending on the expected result.
