Vacuum massager for home use: selection and application
Are you interested in what a vacuum massager is, its structure, operating principle, types? Then read on - what a home vacuum massager is and how it works, recommendations for using the device, about fat and its deposition and how to use a vacuum massager correctly.
Vacuum massager – what is it? Essentially, this is a device for improving blood circulation and distribution of fat throughout the body, that is, a massager. A simple, effective and useful device for reducing the appearance of cellulite and improving skin tone. Its design/concept is similar to that of a can, but there are some differences. Mobile/home models of vacuum massagers are powered by rechargeable batteries or simple batteries. They power a small pump that “sucks” air from a container/can attachment with rollers to massage the skin.
About fat. Fat deposition is a natural process that was developed during evolution. Fat is energy in a certain form that is stored for a long time. When you don't get enough external energy (food), your body starts burning fat to keep you alive. Fat deposition can be called a manifestation of the body's care for you. Fat is deposited throughout the body, smoothly distributed over the entire surface. But there are places where it least interferes with your life - the stomach, buttocks, thighs, and so on. If there is too much of a calorie surplus, there is too much fat and it becomes less distributed, that is, it begins to accumulate.Also, poor fat distribution may be related to genes/diseases.
In this case, a vacuum massager will help; it works as a kind of chimney sweep. This comparison can be made by imagining that the fat and blood in your body are moving through pipes. Over time, these pipes become clogged and fat and blood begin to accumulate in some places in these pipes.
To explain it in more complex terms, our body has a system of cells in which fat is stored. When there is too much of it, these cells increase significantly in size. This leads to the formation of uneven bulges on the skin - cellulite. This also leads to deterioration in fat distribution. The vacuum massager relaxes and kneads the skin with fat cells, improving blood circulation.
Types of vacuum massagers. Vacuum massagers are classified according to three factors:
- Area of application: facial, eye, chest, whole body/universal
- Design – stationary, hand-held/mobile devices, face masks
- Functionality – classic, vacuum with rollers or other additional functions
The operating principle of a vacuum massager. The operating principle of the massager is based on pressure fluctuations - there is a small pump inside the device, powered by a battery/battery or from the mains if it is a stationary massager. This pump supplies and pumps out air from the nozzle, which is pressed tightly against the skin area. Sometimes such attachments are equipped with rollers for better effect. As a result of the procedure, muscles and skin are stretched, blood clots in the veins, arteries and capillaries are removed - because of this, blood circulation improves, swelling is removed, the distribution of fat over the surface of the body also improves, the size of fat cells decreases, and so on.
How to use a vacuum massager correctly. Before using a vacuum massager, you need to exfoliate and apply anti-cellulite massage oil to the problem area. Turn on the massager and apply it firmly to the surface of the skin. Carry out the massaging process (move the massager along the lymphatic vessels, a diagram of which on the human body is attached to the device itself) for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the device, wipe it and the surface of the skin being treated.
Recommendations for using a vacuum massager. The device should be used for an average of 10 sessions. The break between sessions should be about 4 days. If you use a massager for prevention, then you need to proceed from the situation. To do this, it is recommended to seek advice from a cosmetologist. To use the device more effectively, you need to drink 2 liters of water before the procedure and immediately after one glass (250 ml). If you drink a lot of water, the percentage of fluid in your body increases. This causes the blood to become less thick and circulate better. It is recommended not to eat 1-2 hours before the session.
The massager should not be used if you have cancer or skin diseases, during pregnancy, menstruation or breastfeeding.
