Anti-cellulite massage before and after photo reviews

LiLiana 025

I have been struggling with cellulite for a long time, but I noticed improvements only recently. For a long time I tried to do anti-cellulite massage for myself, bought all sorts of special creams and oils, but I was not happy with the result. Maybe she felt sorry for herself and didn’t massage so actively, because they might say the procedure is painful – I can’t hurt myself. I thought, since I can’t lose weight and get rid of bumps on my skin at home, then I’ll go to a specialist. I read reviews about anti-cellulite massage and salons that offer such services. I decided that I would do a vacuum massage and signed up.

When I arrived, the master first took measurements of my “fifth point,” hips, and waist. Then they recommended scrubbing, and after that they applied some fragrant oil and began the procedure. As soon as they turned on the device and touched the skin, everything seemed fine, but when they started moving it back and forth over my cellulite areas, I thought I was going to die, it hurt a lot. They worked on each leg for about 15 minutes, less on the stomach.

In general, what's the bottom line? After 2 days I go to the 7th session (they said I need 10 in total), there really is an effect, and a significant one. I managed to lose weight (volume decreased by 2.5 cm), my skin tightened and the tubercles are practically no longer visible. I specially took a photo before the first procedure, I also take it after each session (I want to clearly see the effect before and after). Who doesn’t believe in the power of anti-cellulite massage, look at my photos, I’m attaching them. My advice is don’t be afraid, be patient, do it and be beautiful.

I also decided to leave a review and want to share my results. I did a home anti-cellulite massage. Unlike Liliana, she was not lazy, she made every effort - she massaged her problem areas every day, and did not use any special products. I recently became a mother, so I always have baby oil at home, and that’s what I used. I won’t be unfounded, here are my photos before and after the two-week course. How do you like the result?!

I did a manual massage and also used a massager (a plastic thing with rounded spikes, you can buy it at Oriflame). First, I warmed up my body in the bathroom, then I went over my cellulite with coffee grounds, washed it off, thoroughly dried my skin, and went on to the massage. She applied the oil, then pinched with both hands to create a large fold of skin and move it without letting go from bottom to top. This pinching technique is very effective; you can get rid of cellulite in just 3 weeks. But there is one condition - massage every day.

When my hands got tired, I rubbed myself with a massager, sometimes I asked my husband to help (of course, he didn’t really want this, so what to do). This summer, the three of us already went to the sea - I was in a bikini, and I wasn’t the least bit shy. My husband said that I have the body of a sixteen-year-old (by the way, I’m almost thirty). Go ahead girls, don’t be lazy, love yourself!

To be honest, I thought I would never get rid of my cellulite - I tried to massage myself, when it didn’t help, I went to a massage parlor. There was a young girl massage therapist there, oh how she kneaded me, my eyes were almost rolling out of my head from the pain. After these procedures I was all blue, I even became scared, but they assured me that this was how it should be.

I only lasted 5 sessions (12 were needed). When the blue discoloration faded, I didn’t notice any special changes, well, I think that’s it, I’ll remain a chubby cellulite. But no, I once saw an advertisement that a fitness center was running a promotion - they offered to combine training with an anti-cellulite massage, so I decided to try it.

I’ve been going for almost two months now, the result amazed me - fitness training, massage and proper nutrition (by the way, the menu was compiled by a professional nutritionist) worked a miracle. For many years I thought that anti-cellulite massage meant pain and bruising, but nothing like that. Yes, there is discomfort, even slight soreness, but no bruises.

Every week I took pictures of myself in the locker room of the fitness center. You can also look at my amazing result. I am sure that one massage is not enough, you need to radically change your lifestyle. Physical education, proper nutrition, and in addition a professional anti-cellulite massage, is the only way to get rid of orange peel forever.

I won’t talk much about the effectiveness of the massage (the photos will say it all for me). I want to tell you about the massage itself. This is not just a procedure that is carried out in every salon - it is a Thai massage with an anti-cellulite effect (to be honest, I had cellulite somewhere between stages 1 and 2, well, these bumps are not very noticeable).

I don’t know if we have such a service, because I had this massage when I was working in Thailand - it was complete relaxation. The salon offered me a range of services - first scrubbing, then wraps and oil massage (with oils) for cellulite. All this fun lasted 2 hours. They rubbed me, rubbed in aromatic oils, stroked me, and in between they took me to the shower. Then they gave us a soft robe and left us to rest for a short time. Then everything was repeated. In total, I showered three times during one session.

The feeling is unearthly. After the session, the girls served me aromatic tea - it was bliss. When I left the salon, I wanted to flutter. I went for a massage like this twice a week and when I had to fly home (I had been in Thailand for more than 2 months) I paid attention to my body - it became toned, smooth and there was not even a hint of cellulite left. If I find something similar here, I’ll definitely go there.

I am bursting with emotions, I want to show off everything - I can finally wear skirts above my knees, I no longer have cellulite. And since everyone here attaches photos, here are my pictures with ugly forms “before” and chic “after” of the anti-cellulite massage and wraps program.

Losing weight and getting rid of cellulite have always been a fixation for me, but somehow it didn’t work out (either there was no money, or time, and, frankly speaking, I was too lazy to do it myself). In general, I still found the required amount - I needed more than 40 thousand for the full course.

At the salon, the master suggested that I alternate between manual and roller-vacuum massage, and then consolidate the result with an anti-cellulite wrap. This is how they worked out all the problem areas for me. In 15 sessions, I lost almost 4 kg (not enough, of course, but that’s okay), and most importantly, I got rid of cellulite. Hurray, hurray, hurray.

True, the massage therapist said that it would be necessary to repeat the course at least 2-3 times a year, but for the sake of beauty, I am ready to part with any money.

Oh, girls, why spend that kind of money, buy yourself massage jars and do it yourself - no worse. I specially took a photo before the start of the procedures and, of course, photographed what happened at the end (I show it without being embarrassed, although I would never have posted this on the Internet before).

So, I bought jars, took olive oil, added a couple of drops of aromatic ether and that’s it, you can begin the “execution”. At first I did it myself. I put the can down, let out the air, started to drive it - it hurt, I shouted to my husband to come. I say, come on, I can’t do it myself, if you want a beautiful wife, give her a massage. What do you think did. Moreover, he massaged me every other day, the poor thing had nowhere to go.

Of course it hurt, I scolded him, but everyone survived (by the way, there were no bruises, only redness). Now we can admire the result together. This is how you can defeat cellulite for little money. These jars are reusable, so massage whenever you want. Oh, I forgot to say, if you have varicose veins or vascular problems, this massage cannot be done, it will be even worse.

I also agree that to fight cellulite you don’t have to spend a lot of money, it’s better to spend it on a new wardrobe, so I do massage myself, and have been doing it for a long time. When I first started, I photographed myself all the time, after each procedure, this encouraged me not to quit what I started.

To be honest, I didn’t have any special skills, I warmed myself up as best I could, but even this gave results. To make my hands glide better, I used regular baby cream. Then I read that you can add essential oils and vitamins to it, and that’s what I did. Over the years I have gained experience, watched a lot of videos, even completed express courses, now I do it not only for myself, but also for my friends.

At the age of 35 (now I’m almost 40), I joined the gym, learned to eat right, and periodically give myself anti-cellulite massage. Without exaggeration, I sculpted my body myself and I’m proud of it!

It is clear that self-massage saves money, but as for me, I would never get rid of cellulite if I kneaded myself. I always have more important things to do and don’t have enough time for a massage, but I wanted to get rid of the orange peel. I couldn’t leave the house because I was a small child, so I found a masseuse who came to the house.

Whether you like it or not, whether you have time or not, the massage was done regularly. She brought with her a warming cream, which continued to work even after the massage (it seemed to break down fats). The masseuse kneaded me with her hands and rolled me over my body with a stick that looked like a rolling pin. The sensations were not pleasant, it hurt, there were even small bruises.

But by the middle of the course (I paid for 10 sessions), the bruises had disappeared and the pain had dulled - a completely tolerable procedure. After each massage, I asked the masseuse to take photographs of my problem areas. By the end of the entire course, I sorted the photos from 1st to 10th and couldn’t believe my eyes - the result is amazing, see for yourself.

I had the second stage of cellulite, now it’s difficult to see the tubercles with the naked eye, my legs and butt are almost perfect. I agreed with the masseuse that in a month we would repeat the course. By the way, calling a professional to your home turned out to be cheaper than going to a salon (I paid less than 10 thousand rubles for the course). Like this.

Video on topic

Anti-cellulite massage is a very popular procedure. This popularity is due to a number of reasons, the main one of which is a noticeable effect after just a few procedures.

What does the result depend on?

The effect of anti-cellulite massage is influenced by many factors - the stage of cellulite development, individual characteristics of the body, lifestyle and nutrition. Let's take a closer look at this.

Cellulite has several stages of development:

1. Edema.
2. Micronadular stage.
3. Macronadular stage.

At the first stage, cellulite is practically invisible. The patient feels that her body is slightly swollen.

At the edema stage, the skin remains smooth, although the body has already started the process of fluid retention. The pressure inside the tissue increases. Because of this, fat deposits thicken.

The micronadular stage of cellulite occurs when fluid compresses the arteries. Externally, the connective tissue becomes similar to a honeycomb. The unevenness of the skin will only be visible when squeezed.

The macronadular stage occurs when cellulite is already visible to the naked eye. People call it “orange peel”. When tissue is compressed, a painful sensation appears.

Nutrition

To achieve the best result, you need to balance your diet and drinking regimen. Avoid fatty, fried and salty foods.

Replenish the menu with fish, seaweed, boiled chicken and dairy products. Eat more vegetables and fruits in season.
Water will also help in the fight against cellulite if you drink at least 2 liters a day.

Lifestyle

Gym classes, morning exercises or just walks before bed - choose an acceptable type of physical activity for yourself.

Remember, movement in this case is not only life, but also beauty.

When will the effect be visible after an anti-cellulite massage?

The result of anti-cellulite massage depends on many factors. But, on average, 6-8 sessions are enough for the effect to become noticeable.

Although you shouldn’t stop there. In salons, they often prescribe a standard course of 10 sessions. Experts recommend carrying out anti-cellulite massage every other day, that is, one course will take 2-3 weeks.

The effect of different types of procedures

Many people who want to get rid of the “orange peel” face the question: What type of massage to choose - manual, cupping, machine?

Manual massage

Manual or manual massage can be performed either independently or with a massage therapist. The average duration of the procedure is 45-60 minutes. During this time, problem areas of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs are massaged.

At home, if you decide to massage yourself, you can use dry rubbing equipment - a mitten, a brush with natural bristles or a terry towel.

Manual massage is recommended for patients with the initial stages of cellulite.

The effect becomes noticeable after 5-7 procedures. According to many patients, it manifests itself faster than after cupping or hardware.

Advantages of manual massage:

1. The massage therapist controls the depth of impact on the tissue, therefore does not leave bruises or hematomas;
2. Manual massage can be performed for varicose veins;
3. The massage tactics are simple, so you can carry out the procedures yourself.

The main disadvantages of manual anti-cellulite massage are the high cost (if you contact specialists) and dependence on the human factor. It is worth taking the choice of a massage therapist especially seriously.

How to do anti-cellulite massage with vacuum cans at home - all the details.

He must have the appropriate qualifications. Be careful, if a massage therapist has many clients in one day, then most likely he is doing a poor job.

Doing a massage for several hours in a row is very difficult, so even professionals in their field tend to get tired.

The average cost of a manual massage in a salon varies from 1800 to 4000 rubles/hour.

As mentioned above, the effect of a manual procedure is noticeable only after 5-7 sessions, so a course of manual procedures can hardly be called cheap.

Cupping massage

Vacuum or cupping massage – treatment and prevention of cellulite using special cups. You can do it yourself, at home or in a salon. It’s quite easy to learn, just watch a video on the Internet.

The duration of the procedure is 25-30 minutes. The recommended course duration is 15-20 sessions. The price of a can is 10-80 rubles. In Moscow salons, vacuum procedures cost an average of 1,500-3,000 rubles.

The effect of these procedures will become noticeable after completing at least half of the course.

Benefits of cupping massage:

1. It can be done at home;
2. The drainage effect breaks down the “matrix” of tissue to which cellulite is “attached”, this allows it to penetrate deeper into fat deposits;
3. Cupping anti-cellulite massage does not require much effort, unlike manual massage.

However, this procedure also has its drawbacks. Cupping massage can leave bruises on the skin. Sometimes it happens that the pain persists for a long time, and discomfort occurs even when the problem areas come into contact with clothing.

Hardware massage

Hardware massage is done only in salons. In terms of technique, it is very similar to canning. Mechanical massagers are equipped with additional suction cups and rollers.

Hardware massage has a number of advantages over manual massage:

1. It is less painful;
2. A mechanical apparatus does not get tired, unlike a person;
3. Provides deep penetration, this massage eliminates the hardest collagen deposits;
4. The intensity can be adjusted depending on the level of sensitivity of the patient's skin.

The price of hardware massage is lower than that of manual and cup massage. The cost of procedures starts from 1000 rubles per session.

The effect of hardware massage becomes noticeable after 5-7 procedures.

Unlike manual procedures, mechanical procedures are more likely to injure blood vessels. Therefore, before signing up for a massage, you need to study the contraindications.

Myths about anti-cellulite massage

Everyone wants to achieve quick results from a massage. Some believe that after such procedures you can lose excess weight.

This is the first myth. It is impossible to lose weight after a course of anti-cellulite massage.

Experts recommend first getting rid of extra pounds, and only then starting to even out your skin. If everything is done in combination, then the effect is possible. But provided that you eat right, lead a healthy lifestyle and work out in the gym.

The second myth is that anti-cellulite massage must be painful and leave bruises. It is not true. During the manual massage procedure, unpleasant or painful sensations may occur, but bruises should not remain.

It all depends on the professionalism of the massage therapist. Bruises are possible after undergoing cupping or hardware procedures.

Myth three - there is an opinion that anti-cellulite massage cannot be combined with physical activity. This is also incorrect. With an integrated approach to treatment, the effect occurs much faster.

Experienced massage therapists recommend combining anti-cellulite treatments with training in the gym. This will help restore elasticity to the skin and become firm and attractive.
