Kuznetsov's applicator - now also for weight loss The widespread use of the Internet has breathed a second life into old, undeservedly forgotten things. These include the use of various types of devices, such as the Kuznetsov applicator, for weight loss.
About 20 years ago, a prickly rug that appeared in many homes worked wonders for people suffering from back pain, and now they began to use it for “spring cleaning” the body of fat deposits. What is he?
Kuznetsov applicator: the essence of the method
The path of Kuznetsov’s applicator into official Soviet (at that time) medicine began with the discovery of reflexology methods. The search for alternative traditional methods of treating various diseases forced doctors of that time to turn to the idea that influencing acupuncture points could lead to stunning results in the treatment of a variety of pathologies.
Somewhat later, Ivan Ivanovich Kuznetsov, concerned about his own illness - a chemical burn of the lungs - studied the literature on Chinese medicine available at that time and realized that it is possible to influence acupuncture points not only by injecting a needle, but also by constantly pricking “in areas”. So he invented his applicator.
It is believed that the applicator can remove excess fat by targeting special points It is believed that the use of the applicator stimulates blood circulation at the site of application, and thereby helps to cleanse problem areas of everything unnecessary, from toxins to fat deposits.
How to use the Kuznetsov applicator,
Depending on the area that should be affected, there are different types of devices - a mat, insoles or a belt. People usually lie on the mat with their back or stomach.
Some recommend pressing the mat to lose weight on your belly, but reviews indicate that it is quite difficult to press the applicator against your stomach with sufficient force for 15 minutes (that’s how long one session lasts) - your hands get very tired. Therefore, the best way is to lie on it or use a belt.
At first the sensations will not be pleasant, but within a few minutes the skin gets used to it and then you should start rolling on the mat. This way you get the effect of an intense massage, and you probably know quite well what a massage for weight loss is.
According to information obtained from open sources, it is clear that the applicator helps to lose weight in problem areas, relieves cellulite, tones the skin, and the entire body. However, it should be borne in mind that this type of massage is not suitable for everyone.
Lyapko applicator - with metal needles Its use is contraindicated for pregnant women, people with skin diseases at the site of application, patients with varicose veins and those who have a tendency to form bruises.
A variant of the Kuznetsov applicator is the Lyapko applicator. If the classic device is equipped with plastic teeth, then Lyapko relied on metal needles protruding from a rubber mat. The essence of the method, however, remains the same, only the form has changed.
Expert review. Kuznetsov's applicator: the brainchild of a charlatan who became a celebrity
Now let’s talk about what fans of alternative weight loss methods won’t tell you.
Kuznetsov's applicator has never been used to remove fat from problem areas. The very description of the process “massage points squeeze fat out of cells” does not stand up to criticism. They are not squeezing anything out of anywhere and will not be able to squeeze anything out.
If you manage to squeeze anything out of the adipocyte, it will immediately die, because this will mean a rupture of its wall. Massive death of fat cells (which is exactly what would happen if you were losing weight as a result of squeezing) would lead to to serious health consequences.
Kuznetsov's applicator has always been used only for the treatment of injuries, osteochondrosis and various types of neuralgia. No one has ever studied it as a treatment for obesity. Unfortunately, it is now impossible to find out where this idea came from in the fevered imagination of Internet writers.
Traditional medicine is currently very skeptical about this invention. Reflexotherapists argue that influencing acupuncture points “by area” may not be a salvation, but a disaster.
If you take a map of acupuncture points, you will notice that there are often points nearby that have the opposite effect on the body. Simultaneous exposure to them can lead to serious disruptions in the functioning of the body. And this fact has been confirmed by experts.
Now let’s ask ourselves a question: how could a music teacher who never understood medicine invent a super-drug that could help thousands of people? Where did he get the knowledge that allowed him to correctly interpret the results of treatment? Did aliens whisper? By the way, Kuznetsov believed in them and looked for opportunities to contact them.
Neuralgia, osteochondrosis, radiculitis - but not weight loss! Kuznetsov's applicator played a tragic role in his life. The idea of creating a vacuum suit, from which air would be pumped out so that the needles would stick into the body, took his life.
While testing such a suit, the healer's heart stopped. Like Frankenstein's monster who killed his creator, the applicator killed Kuznetsov. The lack of basic medical knowledge played a very cruel joke on the healer.
And no one knows how many people now use Kuznetsov’s applicator to lose weight, gain weight, treat diseases of the stomach, heart, kidneys and any other organs. And no one knows how this could end for the thousands who believed the charlatan. You won't know until it's too late.

As summer approaches, the fair sex is thinking about how to get in shape after hibernation and invigorate their body. Pills, workouts and endless diets require effort and time. In addition, you need to lose weight for the benefit of the body, and not vice versa. Today we’ll look at a method called the Kuznetsov applicator for weight loss. Do he and Lyapko’s similar metal rug really have such an impact?
At the end of the last century, prickly fabric began to appear in many homes of Soviet citizens. Initially, the Kuznetsov mat and the Lyapko applicator were used to treat diseases of the cervical and lumbar spine and prevent diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Subsequently, they forgot about him a little. However, quite recently there was a rumor that the device has an effect on the process of losing weight and getting rid of cellulite. So what is this: fact or fiction?
Essence and objectives
The healing mat has helped many people get rid of back and joint pain. It was intended for athletes who are prone to injury. Gradually, the fame of the healing device spread beyond the sports world, and it could be purchased at any pharmacy. Admirers of the applicator were attracted by the ease of use and the resulting effect. The inventor repeated that the thorns have an effect on certain points in the body.
The mat has a beneficial effect when:
- insomnia;
- pain in joints and muscles;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- colds (ARVI, flu);
- circulatory problems;
- weight loss issues.
Proper Use
How to use the Kuznetsov and Lyapko applicator to combat excess weight and cellulite?
The device comes in the form of a mat, a massage roller, insoles or a belt with plastic or metal needles. The type of applicator depends on which area needs to be affected. For example, for the stomach you need to give preference to a rug.
- The procedure should be carried out in a horizontal position, lying on the “thorns” with your back or stomach. Some say that to lose belly fat you need to hold the mat close to you for the duration of the session. However, it is inconvenient and painful. Just imagine standing for 15 minutes with a heavy applicator in your hands. Therefore, for comfort, you can use a belt or a “lying” position on your stomach.
- Do you relate to the problem area of the thigh? Not scary! The device must be placed on a flat surface, such as the floor. Next, lie down or sit on it in the place that needs to be corrected. Fat deposits on the thighs are classified as difficult to remove. But Kuznetsov’s anti-cellulite applicator, in combination with diet and exercise, will cope with the difficult task.
- Need to eliminate excess volume on your arms? This will be more difficult to do than for other parts of the body. The difficulty is that you can’t lie on your hands for a long time, and the procedure takes 15 minutes. For these purposes, you need to choose a belt that is securely fixed in the problem area and does not slip when moving.
The procedure will feel unpleasant at first, but it lasts for several minutes. After getting used to it, you can start rolling, thereby starting the fat burning process. The effect of the applicator on fat deposits is manifested through an intense massage, during which blood circulation is stimulated, thereby accelerating metabolism. To combat cellulite, you can use anti-cellulite cream before the procedure.

Positive and negative side
pros
Kuznetsov’s applicator for losing weight and fighting cellulite, like all devices in this industry, has its advantages and disadvantages. Undoubted advantages:
- low price, resulting in the availability of the method;
- easy and understandable instructions;
- has no age limits;
- has a beneficial effect on the entire body.
Flaws
Unfortunately, the Lyapko rug also has its disadvantages:
- unpleasant stabbing sensations at the beginning of procedures;
- is not a panacea, that is, it is used as an additional measure to fitness and nutrition.
Contraindications
It is strictly forbidden for people to use the applicator when:
- dermatitis and other skin diseases;
- pregnancy;
- easy skin trauma;
- an abundance of moles;
- the presence of new growths in the area of application.
Others can use the mat without fear, but without overdoing it.
The secret to losing weight
It is interesting that Kuznetsov highlighted weight loss as a side effect of his invention. He believed that a person losing weight before his eyes was sick with something other than osteochondrosis and therefore was losing weight.
However, the scientist soon found an explanation for this. Under the influence of an intense massage, blood begins to actively circulate in the body, as a result of which metabolism accelerates. As a result, excess fat is burned. A nice bonus was a toned figure and toned body. This is how the device gained unprecedented popularity and respect.
Fighting orange peel
Kuznetsov’s applicator has been actively used for cellulite among women. The most convenient type of device is a belt with spikes, since the areas most often “suffering” from fat deposits are the buttocks, thighs and legs.
The applicator is used by fixing it with an elastic bandage to problem areas. In the case of adjusting the buttocks, you can not attach the spikes to the skin, but simply sit on them. For example, when working at a computer, you do your tasks, and the belt eliminates unnecessary bulk.
In addition, manufacturers produce Lyapko massage rollers, which are very convenient for performing cellulite massage.
Criticism of doctors
Medical experts do not have a unanimous opinion about the weight loss applicator. One group of doctors considers the device dangerous to health, since the destruction of fat cells in large quantities can lead to disruption in the endocrine system.
Their strong reasons against use:
- The human body has certain acupuncture points. Finding these same areas on the body is very difficult even for a specialist, let alone amateurs. The main danger lies in the fact that next to the “useful” points there are “harmful” ones, if you hit them you can significantly harm your health.
- Not everyone can tolerate discomfort during the procedure. Sellers claim that the pain will go away after the first session, but this is not the case. Yes, the skin will get used to the pain, but is it beneficial?
- In conclusion, experts ask a completely logical question: has research been conducted in this area of application? Even if there were tests, unfortunately, there is no detailed report on them. Inventor Kuznetsov always used the applicator to treat muscles and joints, but not for weight loss.
People's opinions
How do people feel about Kuznetsov’s applicator for cellulite, which has different reviews?
I inherited the Kuznetsov applicator from my grandmother, who used it to treat osteochondrosis. After reading on the Internet about losing weight with it, I decided to try it. The sensations from the first procedure are still the same. Unfortunately, after the stated month the effect did not appear. A friend advised me to use the mat in combination with a diet. After a couple of months, my figure was closer to ideal, and cellulite became much less noticeable.
Kuznetsov's rug has been in my home since the immemorial 90s. I recently discovered that it is used as a means of losing weight. I decided to try it on myself. A couple of months of massage did not bring the desired result, and I am completely disappointed.
I really love the Lyapko applicator for cellulite and osteochondrosis. Helps with back pain and self-massage of the buttocks. I'm very pleased with the effect.
The Kuznetsov and Lyapko applicator is a weight loss product similar to other massage products for cellulite. Some attribute his effectiveness and success, others - negative criticism. Nevertheless, there is an effect from its use, and it is positive. In addition to accelerating metabolism, the device has a beneficial effect on the body, giving it vitality and tone.
To lose extra pounds, you need to make a lot of effort: play sports, try to lead an active lifestyle, change your diet. When dreams of the long-awaited ideal figure are already noticeably visible on the horizon, a woman faces new problems - the appearance of saggy skin, folds and other “charms”. Using the Kuznetsov applicator for weight loss will help get rid of these phenomena even in the most problematic areas.
What is a Kuznetsov rug?
The therapeutic and prophylactic remedy was developed in the USSR by a successful former mathematician and folk healer Kuznetsov. Its original goal was to relieve people of back pain, discomfort after limb injuries, osteochondrosis and other diseases. However, today the use of the mat has gone far beyond this scope and the device is being actively used as an additional stimulant for the body when losing weight.
In appearance, Kuznetsov’s applicator is a simple mat consisting of a set of plastic or metal modules. The mat can be of different sizes: from a small device for acupressure of problem areas to a huge cover for a chair. Modules are spikes of different lengths, sizes and spacing, but always the same shape. The main task of the thorns is to disperse the blood and influence the nerve endings.
Types of applicator
All Kuznetsov rugs can be divided into several groups:
- Tibetan for the neck. Made in the shape of a half roller and equipped with sharp spikes on one side only. This mat is used to massage the cervical spine and feet.
- Magnetic device. In addition to special modules, it is equipped with built-in magnets that create a magnetic field around the treated area, the purpose of which is to activate accelerated metabolism. This needle massager is better to choose for fighting cellulite and losing weight.
- Spine hedgehog. Presented in the form of a plastic mat with metal needles up to 1 centimeter high. This device is used to treat diseases of the nervous or cardiovascular system.
- Nirvana. Made in the form of a large silicone mat. Used for a complex effect on the body.
What is it for?
Today, a prickly rug can be purchased inexpensively at any pharmacy. Its main purpose is to relieve pain, aches in the joints or body, and have a relaxing effect. This is often used by professional athletes to relieve muscle tension after a grueling workout. The entire preventive and therapeutic effect consists of increasing blood circulation in the area affected by the needles. It is precisely on this quality of the mat that the entire theory of its benefits for weight loss is based.
From a medical point of view, the acupuncture massager can be used without harm for the following indications:
- insomnia;
- pain or aches in joints and muscles;
- diseases of the digestive tract or intestines;
- colds and viral infections;
- problems with blood circulation;
- heart disease;
- arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis and other problems with the spine.
How does the Kuznetsov applicator work?
The essence of the Kuznetsov weight loss mat is simple: you need to stand or lie on it to create pressure. These simple actions affect the hematopoietic system, accelerate blood circulation, resulting in increased tissue nutrition, improved skin tone and metabolism. In addition, sharp needles make it possible to additionally massage particularly problematic areas where there is excessive accumulation of fat masses. The massage fingers of the Kuznetsov mat will help get rid of stretch marks, sagging skin and accelerate cell regeneration.
For belly slimming
If it is necessary to remove the belly, reduce the waist or sides, then it is recommended to attach the Kuznetsov belt to the body using an elastic bandage or a regular scarf. The advantage of this method is that while undergoing a therapeutic massage for weight loss, you can continue to do your usual activities. If you have a little more free time, then to enhance the effect of the massage, experts recommend lying on the applicator daily, at least for 10-15 minutes.
For hips
Are your thighs especially affected by cellulite? It doesn’t matter, Kuznetsov’s applicator will help you lose weight in these places too. To do this, it is recommended to place the device with needles on a flat surface, then lie down or sit on a mat with the problem area. The disadvantage of this method is that there is no way to control the force of the spikes on the skin, which can cause bruising or severe pain.
For hands
It is impossible to remove excessive accumulation of adipose tissue on the arms using an acupuncture massager alone. Here you need to approach the problem comprehensively: do strength exercises aimed at working the muscles of the arms and shoulder joint, and also strictly follow a diet. Another difficulty in using the arm slimming applicator is the inability to sit or lie down on the problem area. For these purposes, experts recommend buying small elastic mats and securing them with bandages.
How to use the Kuznetsov applicator
In order to correctly use the Kuznetsov applicator for weight loss and avoid many negative consequences, you need to thoroughly read the instructions for the device and understand its principle of action. Using a mat helps to perform acupressure, program the body for self-healing, stimulate metabolism and increase the movement of lymph. In addition, daily exercise on a weight loss mat promotes the release of endorphin - the hormone of happiness, which improves mood and raises self-esteem.
Instructions for use
Using the mat is not difficult, you just need to remember a few basic points:
- Self-massage on a mat should only be done on a flat, non-sagging surface. This could be the floor, a special couch, a hard bed or a sofa. Otherwise, uniform pressure will not work.
- When lying down on a mat for weight loss, it is important to try to remain motionless for just a few minutes. Then, to enhance the effect, you can try making simple rolling movements.
- Sessions must be performed regularly, at least 2-3 times a week.
- After completing the procedure, you need to apply a special anti-cellulite ointment or nourishing cream to the skin.
