Description and principle of operation
Every girl and woman dreams of a flat tummy and a slender, toned body. Unfortunately, these dreams are not always possible to achieve. Some people are lucky by nature, some work diligently on their body in the gym, and others just can’t get rid of extra pounds. Losing weight is a complex and time-consuming process. You don't just need to exercise and eat right. You need to be disciplined and treat yourself, your life and your body differently .
Of course, many girls who have lost excess weight and lost weight suffer from the remaining “fat”. And if in the area of the hips or legs it is very easy to remove and correct with the help of physical exercises, then in the area of the abdomen, the inner part of the arms and on the face it is almost impossible to get rid of it, and no matter how much exercise you do on one of these parts of the body .
Fortunately, there are massages of different types and directions that allow you to disperse subcutaneous and visceral fat, correcting the shape of your face and body. Most often, girls and women resort to LPG massage, in other words, lymphatic drainage massage. It allows you to accelerate the blood and make all processes in the body work even better.
There is also a vacuum massage technique, which will be discussed in the article. With the help of such a massage, you can not only get rid of the annoying “fat” on your stomach, but also reduce the cheeks on your face. How it works?
- Massage is performed in two ways - with a special apparatus or cupping. Most often they resort to the second method.
- Cupping massage is done in salons, but you can always repeat this technique at home, without the help of a specialist. The main thing is to correctly understand the execution technique and strictly follow the instructions .
- The operating principle of vacuum massage is quite simple. Due to the active flow of blood to the surface of the skin, when cups are placed, blood circulation is activated. During the procedure, toxic substances are released from the body. At the same time, the tissues are set in motion, which improves their quality - they become more elastic, smooth, and soft. This allows you to disperse fat and remove it from the body.
- During the massage, blood begins to actively circulate throughout the body , which allows you to saturate the cells with oxygen and remove toxins from the body.
- Considering the fact that the tissues “do not stand still” and the lymph is actively working, at this time the muscles are toned and the skin is tightened, which means the figure becomes more attractive and sculpted.
- It is the absence of lymph stagnation that is a barrier to the formation of new fat deposits; accordingly, the “orange peel”, or, as it is commonly called, cellulite, simply does not have time to appear.
Detailed procedure
The vacuum massage technique is a simple process. During the procedure, a specialist uses silicone cups or a device with suction cups to make movements in the abdominal area. The cans are moved using a special method and not chaotically.
By sucking this device to the skin in the stomach area, you need to carefully move it to the lower abdomen and back. The session does not last long, 5-6 laps are enough.
Afterwards, the massage area is rubbed with a special roller. At the end of the procedure, the massage therapist strokes the skin of the patient’s abdomen with his hands for some time. Next, this area is treated with ice or other means to relieve irritation.
Benefit
As you can see, the process is quite easy, and the benefits of such a massage will be sufficient. You not only get your body in order, but also improve your health. Below you will find a list of the beneficial properties of vacuum massage.
- The general condition of the skin improves. It becomes smooth and soft. Almost after the first session you will be able to feel how much your skin has changed. This effect can be compared to the effect you get after scrubbing your body. The skin becomes velvety, smooth and soft - like a baby's. However, scrubs and peelings provide only a temporary effect (but this does not mean that they are not worth using). And vacuum massage, in addition to the cosmetic effect on your body, also has a healing effect.
- The stomach is a very delicate part of the body, but also a very important one. It is under it that all the vital organs of the human body are located - the kidneys and adrenal glands, the spleen and liver, the intestines and stomach, the pancreas and gall bladder. Vacuum massage starts all important processes in the body and activates the work of all these organs. Thus, intestinal function is normalized, metabolic processes are activated, and discomfort inside the abdomen goes away.
- During a vacuum massage, your body becomes more toned, which means the formation of muscle tone.
- At the same time, fatty tissues not only soften, but also dissolve. This allows you to get rid of a larger percentage of body fat.
- After the massage, cellulite deposits are completely eliminated. It all depends on the severity of the specific situation, but after a few sessions you will definitely notice clear improvements in the quality of your body.
- Lymphatic congestion is completely eliminated. Blood begins to circulate much more actively.
Recommendations and contraindications for the procedure
A course of vacuum massage is recommended for:
- cellulite at various stages (“orange peel” or spongy skin, small subcutaneous seals, etc.);
- swelling of soft tissues in problem areas (to remove excess accumulated fluid out);
- with lethargy and muscle fatigue.
Contraindications to the procedures are:
- diseases of various internal organs (heart, gastrointestinal tract);
- kidney dysfunction (presence of stones in the excretory tract, etc.);
- varicose veins;
- periods of childbearing and breastfeeding;
- diabetes mellitus of various types;
- persistently elevated blood pressure (hypertension, hypertension);
- tumors (benign and malignant);
- moles and age spots on the treated area of the body;
- damage to the skin in the area where vacuum exposure is planned;
- skin hypersensitivity.
Women during menstrual bleeding are advised to reschedule sessions to a later date. It makes sense to consult your doctor before visiting the salon.

Kinds
Technologies are developing so quickly that many people do not have time to observe everything that is happening in the world. This also applies to vacuum massage. In addition to the standard use of home cups for this massage, there are other methods of vacuum massage. You will learn about them below.
Roller-vacuum massage
This massage is also called LPG massage. This procedure is carried out using special attachments and application. Inside the device there are rollers that slide over the body, while a vacuum sucks the skin between the nozzles of the device, thereby accelerating the blood and “pulling out” fat deposits.
The attachments can be of different sizes, given that massage is used for different purposes - for example, attachments for facial and body massage will be different. Most often, this type is used to remove swelling and cellulite , as well as to model the figure.
Cupping dynamic massage
This type is very similar to home massage with cupping. However, in specialized places they use special jars in the form of bowls, which constantly operate in a pulsating mode. This method works very well on those areas of the skin that are difficult to treat with roller attachments (for example, on the stomach).
Cupping acupressure
This view is not much different from the previous one. This technique involves two pairs of dual suction cups. These jars are connected, and then they are heated in turn and knead different parts of the body. This technique activates the work of cells, due to which the fat layer begins to gradually fragment.
Most often, with the help of this type of massage, they get rid of the “orange peel” of the third and fourth stages. After such a massage, you always need smoothing masks that allow you to nourish the skin, moisturize it and smooth it out.
Vacuum facelift
This technique is carried out using three special attachments that treat local areas on the face. The skin is treated using two techniques - surging of individual areas of the skin and lymph drainage. After a vacuum tightening, the skin begins to more actively produce elastin and collagen , which helps smooth the tissues and increase tone.
After this procedure, the skin becomes very soft, smooth and moisturized. Visually, you will immediately notice the effect - your face will look fresher, without bags and bruises under the eyes. Also, wrinkles are almost completely smoothed out and folds disappear, and pores are tightened. In addition, the procedure helps remove toxic substances from the body.
Laser vacuum massage
This species appeared at the end of the twentieth century. The combination of vacuum and laser gives a win-win effect that allows you to influence not only the skin, but also the subcutaneous tissue. This type of massage allows you to activate the flow of lymph and blood, and this in turn activates the acceleration of the development of young cells - in other words, skin regeneration occurs.
Laser vacuum massage is one of the best and most advanced methods in the fight against cellulite and obesity. Even the most advanced situations can be solved using this method. Loose skin will become smooth, soft and elastic.
The technique allows you not only to eliminate skin unevenness and remove excess fat, but also to model your figure and tone it. After this procedure, the body seems to be renewed, a feeling of lightness appears, and the discomfort associated with certain diseases due to obesity goes away.
Varieties
There are several types of vacuum massage.
Hardware massage
Vacuum abdominal massage for weight loss
To carry out such a procedure, special equipment is used, which is a device equipped with attachments in the form of suction cups. They attach to the skin under low pressure. Next, the program is installed. The device operates by changing pressure. To further enhance the effect of the vacuum device, smoothing the surface of the skin with special rollers is used.
On a note. The cost of hardware vacuum massage procedures is quite high, but despite this, many modern women choose this method to get rid of cellulite.
Cupping massage
This option is an excellent alternative to abdominal massage using special vacuum jars. To carry out procedures at home, 1-2 pieces with a diameter of 4-6 cm are enough. Today they can be bought in medical equipment stores, beauty salons or pharmacies. According to reviews, vacuum massage shows good results in the fight against cellulite and excess fat.
Execution Rules
Any massage requires not only practice, but also special theoretical knowledge. Performing cupping massage at home is no exception. Below you will find the main rules for performing such a massage and you will be able to avoid mistakes that could harm your health.
- Before a massage, you need to familiarize yourself with a number of indications and contraindications . You should know 100% that this massage is not contraindicated for you.
- You must be properly prepared for such a massage. To begin with, it is important to purchase the necessary equipment - jars. You will also need an anti-cellulite scrub (or any other scrub) and special massage oil. An anti-cellulite oil with warming properties is best suited.
- To prepare your skin for a massage, you will need to take a warm shower to warm up your skin . After the skin has warmed up, you need to apply the scrub to problem areas and use good, soft massage movements to scrub the necessary areas of the skin. Then you need to wipe the body dry and apply oil.
- After the oil, you can begin the procedure, the technique of which you will learn below.
Preparing the skin and body
Before conducting vacuum massage sessions, it is advisable to prepare your body and skin, namely, take a course of anti-cellulite wraps. They can be made from different ingredients: honey, coffee, mustard, etc. Be careful with “aggressive” ingredients such as mustard, because it can burn your skin. To test your skin for sensitivity to a particular component, place half a teaspoon of the ingredient on the bend of your elbow and wait 10-20 minutes.
You can use a simple rubbing massage that will warm up and prepare the skin for a vacuum massage. You can steam your skin in a hot bath, but the water should not be too hot.
Massage technique
- After the body has warmed up, you can begin the massage.
- Apply the cups to the body so that the skin pulled into the cup is not higher than 1.5 centimeters upward. The jars should glide over your body with ease.
- If you did not purchase special jars made of plastic material, but decided to use glass ones, you will need a few more equipment - namely alcohol and a cotton swab. To create a vacuum in a glass jar, dip a swab in alcohol and light it on fire, then literally lower it into the jar for a second.
- The jars should move smoothly across the body, in a circular motion clockwise from bottom to top. There shouldn't be any pain! If the procedure is painful, the cups need to be reinstalled.
- The procedure should be carried out for 10-15 minutes on each problem area of the skin.
- When performing the procedure, be careful with certain parts of the body and do not touch them. We are talking about the inner upper thigh, groin area and popliteal cavity. These areas should be avoided! Otherwise, if the jar gets on them, the movement of lymph may be disrupted.
- Vacuum abdominal massage should be carried out for a month, performing the procedure every other day. If the situation is not very critical, ten times a month will be enough.
- The procedure should be carried out several hours before meals. After the procedure, it is better not to move. Ideally, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and lie down for half an hour.
From this video you will learn how to do anti-cellulite massage and how to use vacuum cups.

Where to use cupping massage
Cupping massage can be performed on various parts of the body
Honey belly massage
Cupping massage can be performed on various parts of the body where you need to tidy up the skin and get rid of cellulite. Massage for weight loss on the abdomen and sides with cupping after a week shows good results. A similar procedure can be performed not only on the stomach, sides and legs, but also on the face. For more delicate facial skin, smaller jars are used.
On a note. It is not allowed to use vacuum massage on the inside of the thigh, knee, elbow joints, or spinal processes. If you do not follow this simple rule, you can harm your own health.
Contraindications
The stomach is a very delicate part of the body. There are no bones, but underneath there are many internal organs that can be damaged or caught if the procedure is performed incorrectly. Many believe that it is better not to carry out this procedure on your own , since it can injure not only the outer layer of the skin, but also the internal organs.
However, doctors and specialists are confident that there is nothing dangerous in the procedure if it is carried out according to all the rules. But, unfortunately, the procedure has a number of contraindications, which you will learn about below. Vacuum massage cannot be performed:
- at high temperature;
- during menstruation;
- for skin diseases;
- for oncology;
- during pregnancy;
- if there are a large number of moles;
- in the presence of skin rashes;
- with varicose veins;
- for diseases of internal organs;
- after recent abdominal surgery;
- for diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- for blood diseases.
Laser-vacuum massage technique
In cosmetology practice LILI is recommended
combine in particular with local hypobaria (low air pressure), mechanical applicator massage.
These combined methods are called laser-vacuum massage and laser-applicator massage, respectively. The combination of these physical factors leads to the development of functional synergism, mutual enhancement of therapeutic effects due to the unidirectionality of their biological action and complementary influence on different parts of the same pathogenetic mechanisms of diseases and dysfunctions of the body, leading to the development of cosmetic defects. Laser-vacuum massage and laser-applicator massage are successful examples of the potentiating (synergistic) effect of therapeutic methods [Bogdanov S.A. et al., 1995; Moskvin S.V., Ghorbani N.A., 2010]. The result is a combined effect on the skin of three factors: vacuum, laser (LED) radiation and cosmeceuticals. In order for cosmeceuticals that nourish the skin to be as effective as possible, they must be applied to well-prepared skin. It is almost impossible to carry out such preparation at home. In cosmetic clinics and salons, special procedures are carried out for this purpose, including the cleansing stage and hardware techniques. The skin is fed with the necessary substances using laser phoresis methods.
Laser-vacuum facial massage
Facial massage requires special knowledge and experience, since improperly performed techniques can lead to the formation or increase of wrinkles and sagging skin, especially in old age. Lubricants should be used with great caution and when choosing them, be guided by the functional state of the sebaceous glands (dry or oily skin). It is advisable to carry out facial massage and especially self-massage, even in the absence of a skin disease, on the advice of a specialist cosmetologist, and in case of skin diseases - after consulting a dermatologist [Belaya N.A., 1974].
Laser radiation, due to the activation of microcirculation, improvement of metabolic processes in the skin, and antioxidant effect, makes the skin more elastic, strengthening and protecting it from external influences. Stimulating the free movement of collagen molecules, which is the main protein of our skin, has a beneficial effect on its structure, preventing the process of fragmentation. As a result, small facial wrinkles are smoothed out and more pronounced wrinkles are reduced.
The effect of laser-vacuum massage is enhanced after preliminary laser “drawing” techniques followed by vacuum laser phoresis of active substances [Abramovich E., 2002].
Drawing is carried out along wrinkles using an A3 acupuncture nozzle connected to a PC laser head LOZ (pulse power 5-7 W; frequency 80 Hz; exposure per 1 cm of wrinkle length 5-6 s; nozzle movement speed about 1 cm/s; total time procedures up to 5 minutes). Using a contact labile technique, each wrinkle is drawn along its bottom from the edges to the middle with slight pressure.
Vacuum laser phoresis is carried out using a KLOZ emitting head (wavelength 0.63 μm, maximum power) with an attached attachment for laser-vacuum massage FVM-Shch, which, in turn, is connected to the Matrix-VM apparatus via a connecting tube. The result is a combined effect on the skin of three factors: laser radiation, vacuum and the therapeutic base of the cream. In this case, the effectiveness of the effect is increased due to laser phoresis of bioactive substances contained in the compositions applied to the skin, increased microcirculation, increased tone of the skin, subcutaneous fat and muscles, normalization of the activity of the sebaceous glands, as well as mechanical exfoliation of old epidermal cells. The vacuum force under the vacuum nozzle is selected individually; a convex fold should form under the nozzle (tightening of the skin fold), which does not cause discomfort.
Vacuum massage is carried out in the directions of traditional massage movements, observing the principle of movement along the lymph circulation - from the periphery to the regional lymph nodes.
Forehead - from the center to the left and right temple, from the eyebrow line to the scalp.
Cheek - from the back of the nose to the temple and ear.
The upper lip is towards the cheeks and downwards.
Chin - from the middle of the chin to the ear.
Neck - upper third - from bottom to top to the chin, lower two thirds - from top to bottom to the clavicles and jugular cavity.
The décolleté area is from the midline of the chest – up to the jugular cavity.
Neckline area - from the middle of the chest line along the collarbones - to the shoulders (bypassing the mammary glands).
ATTENTION! Due to the rapid fatigue of the skin in this area, the total exposure time should not exceed 25 minutes. At the end of the procedure, wipe the skin with a lotion suitable for the patient’s skin type, cover the treated areas of the skin with a cloth moistened with warm water, and allow to rest after the procedure for 10-15 minutes.
Laser-vacuum massage for acute bronchitis, acute and congestive pneumonia
The patient is placed on his stomach, a cushion is placed under the pelvis so that the chest is located below the pelvis, and the head is placed to one side. The muscles should be as relaxed as possible.
Vacuum massage is carried out using nozzles FVM-45 or FVM-55. Massage is performed along the lines shown in Fig. 80. The speed of movement of the nozzle is 2-4 cm/s.
The total time of one procedure is 10-15 minutes. A course of 10-12 procedures.
Laser-vacuum massage is carried out using a laser emitting head LOZ, pulse power 7-10 W, frequency 300 Hz (helps increase the drainage function of the bronchi), 3-4 procedures, then the frequency decreases to 80 Hz. It is important to note that in acute pneumonia, laser-vacuum massage is carried out only after the elimination of intoxication and normalization of body temperature against the background of basic therapy.
Laser-vacuum back massage for osteochondrosis and pain syndrome
Clinical effects:
- reduction of pain;
— improvement of microcirculation in the tissues of affected joints;
— improvement of repair processes in the tissues of affected joints;
— normalization of muscle tone;
- anti-edematous effect;
- increasing general immunity.
Both stable and labile methods can be used. It is advisable to carry out the massage with the patient lying on his stomach. Stable technique
The patient must be placed on his stomach, the back muscles should be as relaxed as possible. In case of severe pain syndrome, the bank is installed paravertebrally (it is necessary to use a special two-channel splitter for the Matrix-VM vacuum massage apparatus) where severe pain syndrome is observed. Cans for laser-vacuum massage FVM-35 or FVM-45 are used.
The duration of exposure to one zone is 1-1.5 minutes. Laser emitting heads of LOS are used, which are screwed onto jars for vacuum massage. Power 5-7 W, frequency 1000-1500 Hz. Laser radiation is turned on during the entire procedure. The pressure is set at 10-20 kPa. Most often, after the 3-5th procedure there is a significant decrease in pain. When reducing pain, it is necessary to reduce the frequency to 80 Hz. Labile technique
Cans for laser-vacuum massage FVM-35 or FVM-45 are used.
Duration 10-12 minutes (5-6 minutes on each side). A laser emitting head is used, which is screwed onto a jar for vacuum massage. Power 5-7 W, frequency 1000-1500 Hz. Laser radiation is turned on during the entire procedure. The speed of movement of the nozzle is 1-3 cm/s. The pressure under the can is 10-20 kPa, the direction of movement is indicated in Fig. 85. After pain relief, the frequency decreases to 80 Hz (usually after the 3-5th procedure). One course usually includes 10-12, maximum 15 procedures. A repeat course is carried out after 4-6 months.
Reflex laser-vacuum massage
The physiological basis for this type of massage is the unity of the human body, all of whose components are interconnected; therefore, any disease is not just a local process, but a disease of the whole organism. Therefore, the local pathological focus causes reflex changes in functionally related organs and tissues (skin, connective tissue, muscles, periosteum, etc.), mainly innervated by the same segments of the spinal cord (Zakharyin-Ged zones, dermatomes) (Fig. 75). Depending on the nature and location of the pathological process, as well as reflex changes in various tissues, many subtypes of massage have been created. Currently, segmental and acupressure massage is widely recognized.
In segmental massage, the main goal is to find and then influence reflex changes in the superficial tissues of the human body. Detecting dermatomes is one of the essential tasks of segmental massage. The study is carried out layer by layer, starting with the skin and moving to deeper tissues. In the area of the corresponding segment, the sensitivity of the skin is often so increased that even a gentle touch is felt as sharp and painful. Identification of such zones during palpation, the so-called diagnostic massage, serves as a valuable clinical sign indicating an increase in reflex excitability - when the skin is caught in a fold, thickening is felt, and skin mobility is limited. Palpation can also detect pain and increased tension in the connective tissue and muscles. When trying to stretch the connective tissue in this case, pain occurs. Elimination of such changes in the skin, connective tissue, muscles and periosteum through massage helps eliminate the primary pathological focus.
With a segmental massage lasting an average of 20-25 minutes, the effect is mainly on the Zakharyin-Ged zones. Particular attention is paid to stretching painful areas of skin and tissue. They try to penetrate the tense area of connective tissue with their fingers and perform a long and slow stretching of it in longitudinal, transverse and zigzag directions. It is advisable to start the massage with the segmental roots at the point where they exit the spine, then massage techniques are performed towards the spine (Fig. 86).
As reflex changes in the skin, muscles and connective tissue are eliminated, the condition in the affected organs quickly improves. Therefore, the main task of segmental massage is to relieve tension in the tissues of the detected affected areas. Accurate knowledge of the relevant segments is mandatory for a massage therapist.
Acupressure is a type of Chinese traditional medicine - zhen-ju therapy, or acupuncture (acupuncture). The basis of acupressure is the doctrine of acupuncture points on the body surface, the total number of which (“classical”) is 772. However, 100 points are practically used. Thus, acupressure is a reflexology method, the area of impact of which is the acupuncture point; the method of influence is massage [Tabeeva D.M., 1982].
Number and frequency of procedures
Many people wonder how many procedures need to be done to see the effect. The fact is that you will see the effect almost immediately, but it will become even more noticeable with each new procedure. The frequency and number of sessions is different for everyone. In general, the course of treatment lasts about a month. You need to undergo about 10-15 sessions during this time. Some people will need less. The main rule is to carry out procedures not every day, but every other day, to give the skin a rest.
After the first session, you will absolutely feel pain and discomfort in the treated areas. This is normal and should not be considered a serious side effect. Vacuum massage is a rather rough procedure, given that it is performed on soft tissues, and the banks treat them quite harshly. However, after the third session, your skin will adapt and you will no longer experience such unpleasant pain.
Important! Remember that there should be no pain or discomfort during the procedure! You will feel this pain only after the session.
Vacuum massage for cellulite: reviews and description
People go to great lengths to lose weight and look just like the stars on the covers of fashion magazines. They fight with the same tenacity against the “orange peel” on the thighs. Everything is used - from special body brushes and kneading and rubbing techniques to cosmetics. Among the most popular remedies there is, of course, vacuum massage for cellulite. Reviews about it indicate that those who agreed to this procedure are satisfied with the result. What is it?
This is a specialized therapeutic and cosmetic massage, during which special equipment is used. Its purpose is to get rid of excess weight, treat cellulite, and heal congestion in the back and neck. The vacuum used in this process helps to significantly accelerate the saturation of tissues with the oxygen they need, as well as normalize metabolism, relieve swelling, remove toxins and improve lymph flow. Vacuum massage against cellulite improves skin tone, removes the annoying “crust”, makes the skin firm and elastic. By the way, this method is used not only to affect problem areas, but also to slow down the aging of the entire body, because the effect is not only on the skin, but also on all tissues, muscles and blood vessels, as well as to work with problem areas of the face. The procedure stimulates collagen production and increases the protective functions of the skin.
Vacuum massage for cellulite, reviews of which prove its effectiveness, acts on the deepest deposits of adipose tissue and heals areas of the body suffering from congestion. You can do the procedure not only in the salon, but also at home, completely independently. It is carried out using a special device or classic cups (it is better to buy a silicone jar, it is more elastic, stronger and softer, the massage will not be too aggressive). To achieve a noticeable result, you should perform a course of several sessions (ten to fifteen, every other day), each lasting ten minutes. The result will be the same as when visiting an expensive salon: blood circulation improves, muscle tissue is restored, swelling is removed, aging is slowed down, the strength of connective tissues increases, and unwanted fat deposits are removed.
Home vacuum massage for cellulite (reviews indicate that many women use it) is done this way: first, rub the problem area with your hands, massage it well, and warm it up. You can also apply anti-allergic oil (it is better not to use products containing aggressive ingredients, such as pepper, grapefruit and essential oils). Then, using a circular motion from bottom to top, you need to move a vacuum jar over the problem area. This must be done quite carefully; there should not be any severe pain. The procedure is done every other day, so in between you can treat yourself to a relaxing bath, adding herbs or salts. Speaking of relaxation: manual or hardware vacuum massage for cellulite is also an excellent means for relaxation and relieving tension after stress, overwork or too intense physical activity. This is exactly the case when side effects are very useful.
Vacuum massage for cellulite (reviews of it are only laudatory), however, is not a panacea for those who want to get rid of excess weight and skin blemishes. It is necessary to constantly monitor your own nutrition, daily routine, exercise in the gym or at home, constantly providing your body with physical activity. Only then will the desired result be achieved. In addition, vacuum exposure is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include cancer, varicose veins, chronic and acute inflammation, open wounds, thrombosis, pregnancy and lactation, as well as severe heart and vascular diseases.
