Today, despite the popularity of vacuum massage in modern spa salons, not everyone (due to busyness or the high cost of the service offered) has a chance to take advantage of this offer. But everyone wants to look good and be healthy. Fortunately, cupping massage can be easily done yourself at home.

Where to begin?

In order for a vacuum body massage, carried out independently, to turn out “without a hitch”, you need to prepare for it. The basis for success is correctly selected jars and massage oils.

Vacuum cans

At home, jars with a simple design are used. Control valves that can change the strength of vacuum pressure during a session require special skills. It's better to do without them. Much more convenient are ordinary jars made of glass, rubber, silicone, latex, plastic with a bulb for pumping out air.

For vacuum massage at home, it is most practical to purchase a set consisting of containers of different diameters from 1 cm to 8 cm. With a round and oval hole. With and without magnetic pad. To all areas of the body. The best solution for this is a polymer jar. It is hygienic and easy to use. It's not expensive.

Massage oil

The main feature of oils for vacuum therapy at home is their light consistency. It ensures the can glides smoothly over the skin and does not clog its pores. You can buy massage oil in the store, or you can prepare it yourself. But always The best base is considered to be cold-pressed olive oil.

A few drops of your favorite aroma, a squeeze of medicinal herbs and flowers are dissolved in the oil. They have additional medicinal properties. They help to relax, relieve spasms and pain, disinfect and aromatize the skin, affect blood vessels, fat deposits, and the respiratory tract. Removes toxins and excess fluid.

At home, regardless of the chosen massage area, it is more beneficial to use oil rather than cream. The vacuum conducts the nutrient solution deep into the tissue, so its beneficial properties are of particular importance. Grape, peach, apricot kernel, avocado, jojoba, and sesame oils are popular. Coconut, almond, flaxseed oil.

Indications for use

The impact on the human body with the help of cups is carried out only after consultation with a doctor. Vacuum massage at home is used for preventive and therapeutic purposes and is indicated for:

  1. As a prevention of premature skin aging, maintaining the slimness of body contours.
  2. For the prevention and treatment of varicose veins, radiculitis, neuralgia, muscle spasms in athletes and everyone involved in heavy physical work.
  3. For the purpose of treating pain syndromes in osteochondrosis.
  4. For obesity, cellulite, scars on the skin.
  5. For the treatment of respiratory diseases.
  6. In a complex of rehabilitation measures after a long illness or surgery.
  7. In order to increase immunity.

Basic rules for home vacuum massage

When you give a massage at home, everything needs to be carefully thought out. The necessary attributes must be at hand and arranged in a certain sequence. The room is ventilated, the air is heated to 25*, humidity – 65%. The jars are washed and sterilized. Their integrity has been checked. Hands are treated with antiseptic. A skin test was performed.

The skin is cleansed, warmed up (hot bath, shower, steam bath for facial skin), and a massage area is selected. It is oiled. Everything is in place? This means they take a jar of the required diameter (depending on the affected area) and begin the vacuum massage.

The vessel is either squeezed along the edges with your hands, or the air is sucked out using a bulb and applied to the skin. A glass jar is “set on fire” from the inside with a cotton swab on a stick dipped in alcohol and also applied to the skin. If, after all, the massage is carried out with a jar with a valve, then the air is pumped out through it.

The suction of the skin into the jar does not exceed 1 cm. The movements of the jar are slow, smooth, strictly in accordance with the massage lines of the treated area. Glides on the skin freely. When you repeatedly pass through areas that have already been massaged, the pressure increases. The session does not exceed 5 minutes. It is imperative to control pain.

If the jar has lost its tight contact with the skin, it is better to stop the massage. Sometimes, when working on large surfaces, they create a vacuum again and continue the session. In this case, the quality of the procedure does not suffer.




Step-by-step diagram of zonal cupping massage

Vacuum body massage is carried out in segments. There are several zones that have their own characteristics in the methodology. In this case, manual and hardware vacuum massage is used. A portable device that discharges air is chosen solely on the recommendation (after consultation) of the attending physician.

Most often, it is used by athletes to treat post-traumatic swelling, scars, and seals. But devices of this type also give excellent results in the treatment of local colds, help to lose extra pounds, rejuvenate the skin, and cope with the “orange peel”. Yes, and just relax, relieve fatigue.

Back area

Self-massage of the back with cups is not possible. It can be performed even at home by a specialist. It is indicated for everyone who leads a sedentary lifestyle, suffers from stoop, osteochondrosis, and diseases of the peripheral nervous system. It is carried out in containers from 40 to 200 ml. When moving, they should not be torn off from the back (tightness!).

The direction of movement is along the lymphatic vessels, to the lymph nodes, without affecting them. When performed correctly, a pleasant warmth spreads over the entire surface of the back. The first procedure takes only 5 minutes. By the end of the course, the session lasts about 30 minutes. The vacuum pressure increases gradually.

The choice of technique depends on the disease. For osteochondrosis, they slide the jar in a straight line, from the cervical vertebra, and also in clockwise circles, at the level of the seventh vertebra. In this case, the spine itself is not affected. Respiratory tract diseases require massage from the shoulder to the lower corner of the scapula and working out the lateral surfaces of the chest.

To help remove mucus better, drink a cup of tea with honey before the session. Back massage is also effective as part of anti-cellulite therapy. In this case, the cups are placed on the back, in the area of ​​the buttocks and thighs (excluding the inner surface). Perform straight, circular and zigzag movements.

Hips and buttocks area

The diameter of the jar does not exceed 5 cm. Material – silicone or plastic. Rubber is not recommended due to the possibility of microbial growth in cracks and the development of pustular skin diseases. The direction of movement is only upward. Slowly, from the popliteal fossa to the buttocks. Zigzags, circles in a straight line.

In the area of ​​the buttocks, the jar is torn off and again suctioned above the popliteal fossa. Do this several times. The buttocks themselves are massaged in circles. Vacuum massage against cellulite instantly breaks fat cells and capillaries, causing a compensatory reaction of tissue restoration with the help of proteins such as collagen.

These proteins replace fat and make the skin smooth and toned. Bruises occur during the massage, but this is inevitable, and they pass quickly. The effectiveness of the session is confirmed by the even redness of the skin and the feeling of its steaminess. At the end of the procedure, the cups are removed and an anti-cellulite wrap is applied.

Abdomen area

Vacuum abdominal massage helps to lose excess weight. To carry it out, jars of the largest diameter are used. Skin suction does not exceed 1.5 cm. The more you squeeze the jar before suction, the tighter and stronger it will be, the larger the surface you will treat. The skin of the abdomen is held with one hand. Movements are smooth.

First they are carried out in circles, clockwise. After a short pause - in the opposite direction. The mechanism of action is the same as with any anti-cellulite massage. Doing a massage on your own is not very convenient, but it is possible. For effective weight loss, vacuum therapy is combined with diet and exercise.

Face area

Every woman is familiar with facial massage at home. This is the daily application of cream in a certain sequence. Vacuum therapy is a variation of this procedure, performed using cups with a diameter of 1 cm. It is effective in combating age-related skin changes.

It is performed by static pressure on a certain point on the surface of the facial skin associated with a specific organ. Or dynamic movements along special massage lines. The result is significant rejuvenation of the skin, restoration of its elasticity, elimination of fine wrinkles and double chin.

Important contraindications

  1. Due to the likelihood of bruising, it is better not to massage anyone who has sensitive skin, capillaries are located shallowly, or blood clotting is impaired.
  2. Vacuum therapy should not be used if there are signs of colds and inflammation, diseases of internal organs, infections, varicose veins, tumors, or skin pathologies.
  3. Vacuum massage is not indicated for pregnant women and women who have just given birth (less than 7 weeks ago).

Conclusion

Vacuum massage at home is an affordable, useful and effective procedure. It does not require expensive equipment or special education. The massage technique is simple and gives impressive results in the treatment of cellulite, obesity, prevention of colds, relieving muscle spasms and pain syndromes in adults and children.

Anti-cellulite massage is the most effective method of combating the “orange peel”. It is performed with the usual medical jars of different sizes. In traditional glassware, a vacuum was created by burning the air inside. Over the counter, in pharmacies, they sell modern massage cups made of different materials with a pear, which help to quickly get rid of cellulite.

When the jar is placed on the skin, a low pressure zone is created. Part of the skin is drawn inward, thus improving blood circulation and normalizing microcirculation of interstitial fluid. During the massage process, the jar moves across the body, changing pressure in different areas. This promotes the resorption of compactions. External symptoms of cellulite disappear.

Advantages and disadvantages

Vacuum massage has the following advantages:

  1. stimulates blood circulation and improves the functioning of the lymphatic system;
  2. beneficial effect on the functioning of the sweat and sebaceous glands;
  3. edematous and congestive processes disappear;
  4. the fat layer becomes smaller, which helps remove cellulite;
  5. Collagen production is stimulated, skin rejuvenation occurs (especially effective for the face), and a lifting effect occurs.

Massage using cupping to get rid of cellulite is effective only when combined with a balanced diet and physical activity. It all depends on the perseverance and desire of the person. Many, hoping for quick results, stop regular procedures.

This method of losing weight is not suitable for everyone; there are contraindications. It is not recommended to perform some procedures on your own; it is better to contact a specialist in a beauty salon.

Selection of cups for massage

There are several types of cups for massage:

  1. Glass products have a rubber bulb designed to create a vacuum. The massage performed is the most painful and difficult to perform. Also, glass is a fragile material. The advantages include the lack of absorption of odors and ease of washing.
  2. Massage jars made of rubber, easy to use, cheap. Negative characteristics include: absorption of odors and coloring particles, so they are very difficult to clean.

Cans for cellulite massage can be purchased in rubber, silicone, glass or other material, depending on personal preference.

Silicone jars easy to use, hygienic, and have the most attractive appearance. The price is also affordable. Latex jars, have the same properties as silicone. The set contains 2 pieces: one with a round hole shape, the other with an oval hole for hard-to-reach places. With massage pump, allowing you to control the pressure inside the jar, the process is close to an electric massager. Can be used on the face. The advantages include: the tissue is not damaged, detachment from the skin is excluded. The downside is the high price.

Preparing for a massage

In addition to the anti-cellulite massage jar, special oils are used during the procedure, which are sold freely in pharmacies. It is possible to prepare the mixture from natural ingredients. You need to take 100 ml of base oil (olive, grape, etc.) and 20 drops of essential oil, but no more than 6 types.

The following are recommended:

  1. Geranium oil dehydrates, activates lymphatic drainage, and makes the skin elastic.
  2. Juniper – eliminates harmful substances, relieves swelling.
  3. Cypress - accelerates the process of skin regeneration.
  4. Cedar oil increases blood circulation, filling the layers of the dermis with oxygen.
  5. Grapefruit is effective for getting rid of cellulite and obesity.
  6. Orange can enrich the skin with oxygen, vitamins, promotes the removal of harmful substances and regeneration.

It must be remembered that the dishes must be clean to prepare the mixture. Introduce essential oils into base oils, and not vice versa.

Step by step technique

Before performing the procedure, it is necessary to warm up the problem areas: massage until the skin turns red. Thus, the accessible area of ​​the body warms up on its own.

Next, use the following recommendations:

  1. Lubricate the skin with massage oil. Hands must be dry, as the can should slide over the body and not in the hands.
  2. When placing the jar on the problem area, you must observe the following: the skin should not be retracted by more than 1.5 cm, otherwise injury may occur.
  3. We perform continuous circular movements with the jar from bottom to top in a clockwise direction. If the seal is broken, the can must be reinstalled.
  4. During the procedure, the popliteal area, groin area and inner thigh should be avoided;
  5. The massage time is up to 20 minutes, until redness appears.
  6. After the session, it is advisable to moisturize the treated area with cream or oil.

It is recommended to rinse jars for anti-cellulite massage well and dry after completing the procedure. Every other day, it is necessary to perform a second massage to achieve an improved effect from one course of procedures.

Cupping massage scheme

This is how cupping massage is performed.

Features of abdominal massage

Anti-cellulite belly cupping massage is very effective for getting rid of excess fat deposits. You need to start the procedure by cleansing the treated area with an alcohol solution. Apply oil. When the jar comes into contact with the skin, a vacuum occurs. It is necessary to ensure that there is 1.5 cm inside the skin.

The can needs to be moved clockwise in zigzags, moving away from the large intestine. During the session, no pain symptoms should appear. The duration of the procedure is approximately 7 minutes. After the session, bruises may appear and disappear quickly. For the most noticeable effect, it is necessary to conduct a massage course of 10-15 sessions once a month.

Features of massage on the hips and buttocks

Cellulite usually appears in the thighs and buttocks area. The vacuum created by the jar activates the circulation of lymph and blood.

This is an area accessible for self-massage; warming up for seven minutes can be done as follows:

  1. put your foot on a chair;
  2. move upward from the knee in a circular motion;
  3. lie on your side with your legs bent. Place the jar on your thigh and continuously move from bottom to top, then in zigzags and wave-like movements.

If massage is necessary for the legs, then with the help of a can, circular continuous movements are made in the upward direction. The procedure must be completed at the point of venous outflow.

Features of facial massage

Facial massage using a cup has a rejuvenating effect.

How does a vacuum work:

  1. Muscle tissue relaxes.
  2. Lymph exchange is stimulated.
  3. Microtraumas are created in the lower layers of the dermis, provoking regeneration. An additional capillary network is formed, which promotes oxygen saturation and improves blood circulation. Pores are reduced.

For the procedure, use the same silicone jars used for cellulite massage.

2 options required:

  1. 1 cm in diameter - for smoothing out small wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds.
  2. A 2-3 cm jar is used for an intense effect on the lower layers of the dermis and muscles. It is used for the forehead and cheeks.

For the facial area procedure, you should carefully consider the choice of oil. It must be cold pressed and contain no preservatives. Storage conditions must also be observed. Spoiled oil is not suitable for massage.

It must be remembered that the oil is absorbed very well into the skin of the face, so it must be of good quality.

It is assumed that any vegetable oil can be used. Among them we can highlight black cumin oil, which has a beneficial effect on the skin. You need to take a little of it and mix it in equal proportions with other oil.

Preparation:

  1. Warm up your face in the shower, do not steam or have a session after the sauna;
  2. Be sure to thoroughly cleanse the skin; everything on the outer layer is easily absorbed;
  3. Apply oil generously.

There are 2 main techniques for vacuum facial massage:

  1. Static. Squeeze the jar a little and place it on your face. It is necessary to ensure that the vacuum is small and the skin is retracted a few mm. Wait 5 seconds. Carefully remove, releasing the vacuum. Under no circumstances should the jar be removed from the skin.
  2. Dynamic The technique involves continuous movement of the can across the face. You need to be very careful to ensure that the skin is relaxed.

You need to start the procedure with a medium jar. Massaging the cheeks is carried out from the nose to the auricle, without affecting the area under the eyes. We put the jar near the nose, bring it to the ear and remove it. We lower it lower and do the same movement. On the cheeks, visually highlight 4 parallel lines along which you need to move the can.

We visually divide the jaw in half. We put a finger in the middle and from it we draw the can to the chin and remove it. Then we make the same movement, but towards the ear. The chin is massaged in a circle using a medium-sized jar. The muscles need to be relaxed.

The same jar is used to massage the area at the bottom of the chin to get rid of fat. The movement runs from the middle of the bottom to the side (left and right). Perform a forehead massage with a medium-sized jar. Moving from the bridge of the nose upward. Then, along the massage lines, from the middle to the sides. It is necessary to ensure that the jar does not touch the eyebrows.

Perform all movements with a medium-sized jar 4 times.

When we are little, we begin to massage the nasolabial folds. The skin needs to be held lightly. Place the jar and move upward in smooth circular movements. Go back down and repeat. The area around the lips is massaged in the same way. Move the jar in both directions. We remove crow's feet by massaging along the bone. It is necessary to prevent the skin from becoming deformed.

Eyelid massage requires a very delicate approach. The upper eyelid is treated by moving the can to the outer edge, holding the skin near the can with your finger. Along the lower eyelid, the jar moves along a line from the outside to the inside. Do all massages with a small jar 2 times. For eyelids, repeat 5 times.

How long does it take for different zones?

A different session time is allocated for each treated area. For the procedure to be effective, these periods must be adhered to. Anti-cellulite massage should last 5-15 minutes. You need to start with a minimum time, increasing each session by 2 minutes.

The foot procedure can last up to 20 minutes. You need to massage your face especially carefully. The jar should only be on the skin for a few seconds.

Frequency

There are 2 schemes for the frequency of cupping massage:

  1. Regularly, every other day for 10-15 sessions. Complete up to one month. Take a break of 2-4 weeks between courses.
  2. The intensive course is carried out every day for a week. Then, once every 7-14 days, do a maintenance massage.

If necessary, the intensive massage method should be repeated and return to the maintenance session. It must be remembered that the result of the procedure (getting rid of cellulite using cupping) does not occur immediately. For this, there is a rest period when the skin is reanimated from microtraumas received during the session.

Contraindications

In these situations, massage is not recommended:

  1. The presence of thrombosis or a tendency to form it.
  2. Poor blood clotting.
  3. The presence of birthmarks on the massaged area.
  4. Any damage to the skin.
  5. Inflammation of the facial nerve.
  6. Stage 3 hypertension or tendency to hypotension.
  7. Inflammatory, fungal diseases.
  8. Presence of a pacemaker.
  9. Varicose veins or close location of the venous network.
  10. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
  11. State of fatigue, overwork.

If there is at least one of the listed contraindications, then it is better to consult a specialist so as not to harm yourself. If the vessels are close to the surface, cupping massage is not contraindicated. But in this case, it is better to contact an experienced cosmetologist. The procedure helps tighten the skin and slightly reduces the problem.

Recommendations from experts

According to experts, cupping massage helps get rid of cellulite only with an integrated approach. To achieve the best results, you need to reconsider your diet. Refuse flour and sweets, limit the consumption of smoked meats and pickles.

It is necessary to maintain a water-salt regime: the body needs at least 1.5 liters of water per day. To get rid of the “orange peel”, playing sports helps. If the gym is not for you, then walking 5-6 km daily will help. The main thing in the fight against cellulite is systematicity and the correct combination of different methods.
