Cupping massage technique for weight loss

To carry out a cupping massage for weight loss, you will definitely need special cups. Typically, they are made of plastic or silicone. However, you can, so to speak, the old fashioned way, use glass ones; they are even considered to be of higher quality and more reliable.

It is better to perform the procedure immediately after a warm shower or warm-up, while the body and muscles are sufficiently warmed up.

To begin, apply the oil to your skin, but be careful not to make your hands too oily. The jars should glide over the skin, not in your hands.

When installing the can, hold it with your fingers from the sides. The skin is pulled into the jar by a maximum of 1.5 cm. In this case, you should not feel obvious discomfort. Otherwise, loosen your grip slightly. Move the jars slowly and continuously. When making circular movements, always move clockwise. At the same time, try not to break the seal, otherwise you will have to put the jar in again, and only then continue the massage.

Each procedure takes 3 minutes. In general, the massage lasts from 5 to 15 minutes for each zone. To begin with, keep the time to a minimum. The skin should get used to this massage.

Start repeating the procedure no earlier than after 2 days; during this time it is better to perform a simple massage with your hands; it also turns out to be very effective. A weight loss course usually consists of 10-12 procedures.

How to choose massage cups?

Plastic massage cups
Banks for cellulite massage come in 3 types:

• silicone;
• plastic;
• glass.

For home use, it is recommended to purchase jars made of high-quality silicone: thanks to their flexibility, a woman can independently control the intensity of vacuum pressure. Silicone is known for its durability, and massage devices cast from this material have a high wear resistance coefficient.

For which areas of the body is cupping recommended?

Using cups, you can massage areas of the body where the appearance of “orange peel” is especially pronounced:

• buttocks;
• hips;
• stomach and sides;
• hands.

Important! It is prohibited to apply vacuum treatment to areas of the body where lymph nodes and vessels are located close to the skin!

These areas include:

• armpits;
• inner thigh; Cupping massage areas
• popliteal cavities;
• small of the back;
• spine;
• breast.

How cupping massage works

In classical massage there is such a technique as kneading. Kneading is the most effective of all existing ones, as it deeply affects both muscle tissue and the subcutaneous layer in which these hated structural fat bundles are hidden, creating an uneven surface of the skin. The jar performs a kneading manual massage technique called “roller rolling,” breaking the stable structure of the fat bundles. The blood rushing to the surface of the skin carries away these broken fats and is gradually eliminated from the body.

It is best to use vacuum or silicone jars for massage. They are easy to use - they are easily sucked on and torn off, and also overcome the transition to a relief surface of the body, such as the gluteal muscle. If theory alone is not enough - everything seems clear, but it would be nice to see it - we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the video “Anti-cellulite massage with cupping, how to do it correctly”

Contraindications to vacuum massage

Being an excellent assistant in the fight against “orange peel”, cupping on problem areas of the body has many contraindications, among which the most common are:

• neoplasms of a malignant or benign nature;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• phlebeurysm;
• purulent inflammation of the skin;
• blood clots;
• blood diseases;
• hematomas;
• weakened vessel walls;
• the presence of moles and large pigment spots on the affected areas.

Important! It is not recommended to start a massage immediately after taking a hot bath!

How to do a vacuum massage

In order to properly perform a massage and not harm the body, you should follow body movements according to the following massage lines:

❂ For the abdomen : in the direction from the center of the chest down towards the sides, in a clockwise circular motion, up from the navel to the chest.

❂ For arms and legs : from bottom to top in straight lines.

❂ Hips : along an oblique line up from the knee along the outer and back side of the thigh, in the form of a zigzag, spiral.

❂ Shin : up the lateral and posterior surface.

❂ Touching the area under the knee, as well as the inner thigh area, is prohibited!

❂ Back : from bottom to top with movements of any shape.

❂ Buttocks : in a circle, as well as in the direction from bottom to top with straight movements

Vacuum facial massage

Before the procedure, the facial skin is lubricated with moisturizers.

Vacuum massage is best done after the face has been previously steamed. You can visit the bathhouse and have a massage directly there, and at home you can steam in the bathroom. This will reduce the risk of bruising after a vacuum massage.

Having gone through the preliminary preparation stage, we proceed to the massage itself.

We place the jar for vacuum massage on the skin and carefully begin to create a vacuum in it. Cups for vacuum facial massage should not be sucked very strongly, and the duration of the procedure is only a few minutes.

After sucking on the can for vacuum facial massage, it begins to make careful smooth movements. You should move along the massage lines. Bruises may appear after a vacuum massage if the movements are hasty and abrupt.

Vacuum massage at home should be done carefully. The areas around the eyes and the eyelid area are simply covered with a jar for 2-5 seconds; under no circumstances should you rotate or move the jars for vacuum massage.

For vacuum facial massage to be most effective, it should be done no more than once a week. After the massage, it is better to sit in a warm room for half an hour.

You can do a vacuum massage to smooth out fine wrinkles and improve the appearance of the skin. You can also deal with various scars, but it is better to consult your doctor first.

The effect of vacuum massage is noticeable instantly: a radiant complexion and more aesthetic contours.

Vacuum abdominal massage

Vacuum abdominal massage includes the following steps:

1. Preliminary preparation. At this stage, the patient is laid on the couch, and a massage cream is applied to the surface of the abdominal skin, which ensures smooth sliding of the cup (can) during the procedure.

2. A thicket of the desired size is selected and applied to the patient’s abdomen.

3. Air alternately enters and is sucked out into the massage bowl, thereby creating a vacuum effect. At the same time, at the moment air enters the thicket, the skin is saturated with oxygen, which leads to the activation of cellular metabolism, and skin respiration improves.

At the moment of “suction” of air, accumulated waste and toxins come out of the body along with it, subcutaneous fat cells are broken down and their excess also comes out.

4. The massage bowl moves along the abdomen in a circular motion towards the large intestine, thereby stimulating the functioning of the internal organs.

5. At the final stage, stroking manual movements are carried out in the abdominal area.

During a vacuum massage of the abdomen, no pain should occur. If this happens, then the air pressure in the device is reduced and the massage session is completed.

Vacuum abdominal massage lasts on average 5-15 minutes.

After the procedure

The results of vacuum abdominal massage are:

• Improving blood circulation in skin cells
• Relieving skin fatigue
• The figure is being corrected
• Primary signs of cellulite disappear
• Normalizes the functioning of the intestines and gastrointestinal tract
• The process of cell renewal begins
• Strengthens muscle tissue
• Eliminates waste and toxins from the body

To achieve maximum results, a course of 10-15 sessions of vacuum abdominal massage is recommended with a break of one day between procedures.

For preventive purposes, it is sufficient to carry out this type of massage once a month.

Features of vacuum foot massage

When performing a vacuum foot massage, it is important to maintain the correct direction during the massage process. It is necessary to ensure that the movements coincide with the venous outflow.

You should start from the far periphery to the center, which means the trajectory will pass along the entire back of the thighs and head up to the shoulder. If cellulite covers the lower legs, then the massage should cover the lower leg too and rise from the lower leg upward, along its back part naturally.

When starting a massage, you can quickly note that moving the can in a single direction is very difficult, and therefore you can move it radially, drawing circles, in this way returning the can to its original position. The massage must be completed at the point of venous outflow.

Naturally, a massage cannot take place without sensations, so a person will experience warmth, some burning, and sometimes moderate pain, but you should not be afraid. These sensations will be harbingers of normalization, so you should perceive them accordingly. Upon completion of the procedure, slight swelling of the skin and its hyperemia may be noted. But massage should be carried out carefully, avoiding injury.

The massage procedure takes 5-10 minutes, and after, when the person gets used to it, the session time can be increased to 20 minutes. But the duration should be adjusted based on sensations. If the pain and burning sensation are excessive, then the procedure should be limited to a minimum time. At the end of the massage, you need to lie quietly for about half an hour.

Massages are carried out at intervals of a day or even two. If cellulite is barely visible, then after 4 or 5 procedures, it will disappear completely, and if it is pronounced, then 12 procedures will be required.

How to enhance the effect of vacuum massage

Home vacuum massage alone will not help destroy all existing deposits and make your figure slim, but it can be a good way to enhance the effectiveness of a carefully designed weight loss program.

If before each procedure you perform special weight loss exercises, the results of cupping massage for weight loss will improve several times.

In addition, reasonable dietary restrictions or a properly selected gentle diet will also speed up the process of reducing total body weight, making it easy and fast.

Methodology of the procedure

As a rule, cupping massage for cellulite is carried out in several stages.

Placing glass jars on hips

Stage 1 - preparation

Before performing a massage, qualified specialists recommend treating the skin with a hard scrub, a rough washcloth or a natural bristle brush. This will help improve blood circulation.

Stage 2 - preparing the mixture for massage

In the difficult fight against orange peel, essential oils have proven themselves to be excellent:

• First place is rightfully awarded to citrus oils. They not only effectively break down and remove fat deposits, but also promote regeneration and increase skin elasticity.
• Juniper tree oil perfectly removes toxins, and in addition, it is famous for its lymphatic drainage properties.
• Geranium essential oil makes the skin smooth, velvety and pleasant to the touch.
• Cypress oil helps saturate the epidermal cells with oxygen.

Recipe for massage composition: 100 ml of base oil (almond, coconut, peach, grape, olive) + 30 drops of ether (you can use a mixture of several oils). To enhance the visual effect, it is recommended to add a few drops of vitamin E to the mixture.

Essential oils are considered strong allergens, and therefore their use is not recommended for people whose immunity overreacts to external irritants. To carry out a course of procedures, you can purchase cosmetics that have an anti-cellulite effect. The beauty industry market offers consumers a huge number of creams and ointments that help women fight local fat deposits. According to reviews on well-known social networks, the championship cup can safely be awarded to Floresan products. Oil for anti-cellulite massage with cups from the Fitness Body series is created specifically for controlling excess weight and improving body contours.

Stage 3 - massage rules

The cupping massage procedure includes a number of sequential actions:

1. After the problem area of ​​the body has been treated with a scrub, it is necessary to apply the massage mixture and massage the area for a few more minutes using your hands.
2. The skin is warm. Now you can proceed directly to the massage.
3. The silicone jar needs to be squeezed at the base and pressed against the skin to achieve a vacuum effect.
4. After it has suctioned, you need to move it smoothly over the problem area.
5. The duration of the massage should exceed 30 minutes. Once uniform redness has appeared on the skin, you can remove the cup by pressing on the skin near its base.

The number of sessions is individual for each person. To achieve a visible effect, 1 course is sufficient, the duration of which is 3-4 weeks with a frequency of 1 time in 2-3 days.

When carrying out the procedure, you must remember several rules:

• When massaging the hips, the movements of the cups should be from bottom to top (from the knee to the groin). They can be zigzag, circular or in a straight line.
• When massaging your back, you should not touch the area of ​​the lumbosacral region and spine.
• You can only massage your stomach in a clockwise direction.

Stage 4 - completion

After finishing the procedure, you need to soothe the skin with light pinching and patting. This will help eliminate unpleasant residual effects (for example, itching and tingling).

To avoid clogged pores, you need to wash off the oil mixture from your skin. This can be done with a cotton pad soaked in an alcohol-containing solution of facial toner or micellar water.

To achieve a positive result as quickly as possible, it is recommended to do a fat-burning wrap. Typically, blue clay diluted with water with the addition of a few drops of orange essential oil is used for this. This mixture is applied to the problem area and wrapped in cling film.

Cupping massage for cellulite

After vacuum therapy, the structure of subcutaneous fat changes, swelling decreases significantly, and the figure acquires clear contours.
