Massage with silicone cups at home

Cellulite is a plague for the fair half of humanity. Women, regardless of age and physique, suffer from the hated “orange peel,” which appears in most cases on the thighs, buttocks, and less often on the stomach and arms. You can fight this in various ways: with the help of creams, masks, massagers, massage, wraps. Cupping massage helps against cellulite at home.

How to do it right

After a cupping massage, blood circulation improves, metabolic processes are normalized, skin elasticity increases, and the overall external condition of the skin significantly improves. The undoubted advantage of this procedure is the ability to carry it out at home.

But it is worth remembering that there are certain rules and procedures for performing a cupping massage for cellulite. It is recommended to adhere to them with maximum precision in order to get the maximum effect from the massage.

1. The principle of operation using vacuum cans is that they stimulate lymphatic drainage, due to which excess fluid is removed from the cells. Due to this, stagnant formations in the tissues, due to which cellulite occurs, are removed. With the help of this massage, salts and toxins are removed, and swelling goes away.
2. It should be done on a preheated body with the obligatory use of cream or oil for better glide and achievement of maximum effect. It should be carried out carefully, without making sudden movements.
3. Before performing a cupping massage, make sure that you have no contraindications so as not to harm your skin.

Which banks to choose

Today in pharmacies you can find a huge variety of jars for cellulite massage - silicone, glass, rubber. Also, jars can be different in diameter and size. They are equally affordable, easy to use, and effective.

The only point that can influence your decision when choosing a vacuum can is the technique of use. Banks operate on the “suction cup” principle. Cups made of silicone and rubber “stick” to the skin after being slightly squeezed. Glass jars are equipped with a rubber bulb, which must be squeezed or heated from the inside.

The advantage of glass jars is the ability to regulate the pressure force, so they can be used in “tender” problem areas (for example, on the stomach, arms). To get rid of cellulite on the buttocks, it is preferable to choose silicone (or rubber) vacuum jars.

Technique for doing it at home

Cupping massage consists of several successive stages; skipping or changing their order is undesirable.

Stage 1 - body preparation

Before the procedure, prepare all materials and body. Perform scrubbing, then warm it up using regular classic rubbing using oil or cream.

1. There is no need to warm up your body or steam in the shower (bath, sauna) before the procedure. In this case, it can cause harm by damaging blood vessels and skin.
2. Start your cellulite cupping treatment by applying cream, gel, lotion, ointment or oil to your skin so that the cups glide well. It is not recommended to take anti-cellulite cream, since it is quickly absorbed by the skin; in order for the cups to slide, you need to apply it again and again. It is better to use special massage oils.
3. To achieve greater effect, use essential oils that have anti-cellulite properties and have a beneficial effect on the skin (for example, mustard oil, or with the addition of pepper).

Stage 2 - Massage

When the body is prepared, we move on to the most important thing. If you have a silicone cup, squeeze it a little, place it on the area of ​​skin that requires correction, and release. If the jar is glass, place a burning cotton wool in it for a couple of seconds (you can use a lighter or match) or squeeze a rubber bulb and quickly apply the jar to your body.

You can adjust the suction strength yourself. If you feel pain or unbearable discomfort, remove the jar and put it back. Next, slowly move the jar over the skin on problem areas, pressing lightly on it. With such movements, a rush of blood occurs, metabolic processes improve, and fat cells are broken down. Skin renewal occurs and the “orange peel” gradually disappears.

You can learn some rules and secrets of the procedure from the video presented:

It is not recommended to make sudden movements with the jar or press hard on it. By doing this you can disrupt lymphatic drainage and get unpleasant bruises instead of beautiful skin. Anti-cellulite cupping massage is prohibited on the inner thigh, popliteal area and groin.

It should be done in a certain sequence. First, the front side is massaged (lower leg, then thighs, stomach and, if necessary, arms); on the back side everything goes in the reverse order, you should move from top to bottom: first treat the arms, back, buttocks, legs.

It is important to remember a few basic rules:

1. You need to massage your feet strictly from bottom to top. Never in the opposite direction.
2. On the buttocks, movements can be varied and performed in different directions.
3. Abdominal massage should occur strictly clockwise in a circular motion.
4. When massaging your back, it is strictly forbidden to touch the spine.

Stage 3 - final

The procedure should be completed with a hand massage to smooth out possible unpleasant phenomena or sensations. Remove any remaining oil with a napkin and wrap yourself in a warm blanket. Give your body a rest for 15-20 minutes. It would be nice to drink hot tea with herbs or cinnamon.

After the massage, the skin may turn red and a slight burning sensation will be felt. When this is done, these unpleasant phenomena will soon disappear, leaving no traces.

The average session duration is 5 - 25 minutes. The course of such procedures is 1 session every one or two days for a month, maybe longer, depending on the severity of cellulite. On break days, it would be good to visit a bathhouse or sauna to achieve maximum effect.

Efficiency

By regularly performing anti-cellulite massage with cupping, you break up the tubercles, first reducing, and over time completely eliminating the “orange peel”. Obvious results are noticeable after the third procedure, provided that you did everything correctly and spent enough time on the procedure.

The effectiveness of using this type to get rid of cellulite lies in the fact that cupping massage imitates kneading, which has a beneficial effect on the breakdown of fat deposits. With a regular anti-cellulite massage, the specialist pulls and kneads the skin with his hands, but with a cupping massage, everything happens with the help of a vacuum.

Based on reviews, vacuum cupping is an effective way to combat cellulite. But you should use it skillfully, without abusing it and adhering to all the rules and recommendations.

Contraindications

Like all cosmetic procedures, massage of this kind also has contraindications. The procedure is prohibited for women if:

1. hypertension (high blood pressure)
2. high body temperature
3. the presence of a capillary network, strongly protruding veins
4. tuberculosis
5. varicose veins
6. presence of internal or external bleeding
7. fungal, purulent diseases
8. exacerbation of chronic diseases

Secrets

The main secret of massage using vacuum cans is that it activates biologically active substances located and circulating in the blood and cells. The procedure will have a positive effect not only on areas with cellulite, but also on the entire body as a whole, the body will receive a tonic effect. For example, muscle pain will go away, blood circulation, skin condition and mood will improve. As you can see, this procedure also has healing properties.

The procedure is justified. After just a few sessions, you will notice a significant alignment of body contours and an improvement in skin condition. Recent studies have proven that vacuum massage affects the production of collagen in the blood, a lifting effect is possible on sagging skin, and lymphatic drainage improves.

Ideally, this type of massage should be included in the overall figure correction program and used in combination with other weight loss methods. Or used to prevent the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite is considered a cosmetic problem caused by age (the older, the more pronounced it is) and excess weight (the more, the more noticeable). Those who have already encountered him know about his cunning. With regular use of wraps and creams, the orange peel seems to go away, but as soon as the course ends, after some time it appears again. That is why drastic measures are needed here that will not allow fat capsules to go deeper, but will break them and remove them from the body. In particular, these include cupping or vacuum massage.

Essence of the procedure

p, blockquote 3,0,0,0,0 —>

Don't let the name fool you. It does not force anyone to use household glass jars for the procedure - special massage jars are used here. They can be rubber and silicone, glass and magnetic, with suction cups and pumps.

p, blockquote 4,0,0,0,0 —>

They attach to the problem area of ​​the body (where cellulite reigns) due to the vacuum created inside them. The air is either pre-removed from them (for example, you just need to squeeze a silicone jar with your hands) or pumped out after installation with special pumps.

p, blockquote 5,0,0,0,0 —>

Then they either remain motionless, or they begin to move around the body. The second method is more aggressive, since hematomas and pain syndromes are guaranteed as side effects. However, it is also more effective, because at the end of the course of such massage there is no trace left of the fat capsules.

To carry out the procedure at home, you can purchase all the necessary equipment, but it is difficult to learn. In the absence of certain knowledge, both the skin and internal organs can be seriously injured. Therefore, experts strongly recommend signing up for a cupping massage for cellulite in a salon with a professional.

Operating principle

How does cupping massage help against cellulite? Through the same vacuum. The operating principle is as follows:

p, blockquote 9,0,0,0,0 —>

1. the skin seems to be drawn inside the jar;
2. it irritates its receptors;
3. the body turns on self-regeneration mechanisms - blood rushes to a given area of ​​the body, lymph flow accelerates, nerve endings become sharper;
4. result - tissues receive the maximum amount of nutrients, lymph takes away harmful toxins and waste;
5. but most importantly, on this “island” in the tissues the amount of oxygen increases, which is known as an excellent fat burner;
6. under the influence of oxygen and vacuum, the fat capsules burst and their contents are excreted - by lymph and through the sweat glands.

Despite the fact that the effectiveness of cupping massage in the fight against cellulite has been scientifically proven and confirmed by many examples in practice, not everyone dares to undergo the procedure. There are a lot of pitfalls: don’t expect pleasant sensations, in most cases there are many bruises left on the body, and without diet and exercise, no one will give you a 100% guarantee that the problem will not return again.

And if something is initially wrong with the body, there is a risk of harming it even more.

How to choose banks

If you plan to do everything yourself, you will have to first choose banks, so it would be a good idea to get acquainted with their main types and features.

p, blockquote 21,0,0,0,0 —>

p, blockquote 22,1,0,0,0 —>

1. conventional cans (silicone and rubber): a vacuum is created by manually squeezing the body;
2. glass with a rubber nozzle: a vacuum is formed after squeezing the nozzle;
3. with a pump that pumps out air.

At home, it is better to use regular and glass jars. Those with a pump require certain skills and are most often used in salons. A short overview of their main advantages and disadvantages will help you make the right choice.

p, blockquote 23,0,0,0,0 —>

1. Glass

p, blockquote 24,0,0,0,0 —>

Even in the fixed state, glass massage jars can be adjusted, which allows them to be used in almost all places - even sensitive and hard-to-reach ones. Glass does not absorb massage cream, so they are easy to care for. But at the same time they can break, and the coldness of the glass causes not entirely pleasant sensations when it comes into contact with the body.

p, blockquote 25,0,0,0,0 —>

1. Rubber

The sets contain jars of different sizes. Low cost, safety and ease of use are their main advantages. But they absorb cream and sweat from the body, are difficult to wash, and contribute to the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms in such an environment. So from a hygiene point of view, this is not the best option.

p, blockquote 26,0,0,0,0 —>

1. Silicone

p, blockquote 27,0,0,0,0 —>

At home, cellulite massage is best done with silicone cups, as they have virtually no disadvantages. They are inexpensive, safe to use, extremely hygienic, easy to clean, and cause minimal discomfort compared to others. They are ideal for treating the thighs and buttocks.

p, blockquote 28,0,0,0,0 —>

1. Latex

The characteristics are very similar to silicone. Their advantage is longer operation. However, you will have to pay more money for them. One massage jar in the set has a round hole. She works with cellulite over large areas of the body. The second one is oval, its task is to facilitate access to hard-to-reach problem areas.

1. With pump

p, blockquote 30,0,0,0,0 —>

The air is removed from them by a special pump. Material: medical plastic. The good thing is that you can control and regulate the intensity of the impact. They do not “come off” until the end of the procedure. But at the same time, they are dangerous, since they stick too tightly to the body and often injure the area.

p, blockquote 31,0,0,0,0 —>

1. With magnetic attachments

Some kits include special magnets (built-in and removable) that need to be placed inside the cans. They create a special magnetic field that penetrates the body to a considerable depth and acts like a needle. This is a unique massage that combines acupuncture, magnetic therapy and vacuum therapy.

1. Suction cups with valve

Cans with a valve to regulate rarefied air are new. They work through the deeper layers, breaking down fat capsules without leaving a trace. They are often supplemented with magnetic attachments.

Features of the procedure

In order to do cupping massage at home, you need to study a lot of information. Moreover, it is best to trust the professionals for the first time, spare no expense and sign up for a salon.

p, blockquote 36,0,0,0,0 —>

1. Take a hot shower or bath to warm up your skin.
2. Treat the area of ​​the body with cellulite with Vaseline, gel, oil or fat burning cream.
3. Squeeze the jar forcefully and place it in the desired location.
4. Then you can go in two ways. Method 1 - static. Place these jars at a distance of 10-15 cm from each other over the entire surface of the problem area and leave in this form for 10-30 minutes. Method 2 - kinetic. Make circular and zigzag movements with the vacuum jar for 5-10 minutes.
5. Remove the can by pressing on it.
6. Treat the skin with any cream. Better - calming.
7. After the massage you need to lie down in a relaxed state. You can go outside only after half an hour or an hour.
8. Course - from 10 to 20 sessions. It will be possible to repeat it no earlier than in 3-4 months.
9. During the entire course, you do not need to abuse saunas and solariums.

But knowing this is not enough. Before carrying out the procedure, you must study the massage scheme. It shows in which directions the cans can be moved on a particular part of the body. Essentially, this is a map of the lymphatic system, and all massage lines coincide with the lymph flow. If the movements are chaotic, you can seriously harm your health.

Complications

When deciding on a cupping massage, you must take into account that throughout the course the body will be covered with bruises. For some they are more pronounced, for others they are almost invisible and cease to form after just a couple of sessions. But if this is a natural side effect that is easy to cope with, then other complications may arise that will require serious medical intervention.

p, blockquote 42,0,0,0,0 —>

1. You can get rid of hematomas with the help of bodyagi, heparin ointment, lyoton gel, troxevasin, the drug “Bruise-off”, indovazin, arnigel, etc.
2. If you start doing massage for cellulite on your legs, while having experience with varicose veins, then venous bleeding may open. They will require long-term hospital treatment.
3. One of the most serious complications is the detachment of a blood clot under the influence of a vacuum, which creates strong pressure on the circulatory system. If this results in a blockage of a vital vessel (such as the pulmonary artery), it can be fatal.
4. If a cancer tumor develops in the body, under the influence of a vacuum the growth of metastases can accelerate several times.

As practice shows, those who have already understood that it is very difficult to fight cellulite with conventional cosmetics turn to cupping massage for help. While you are using the cream, the fat capsules go deep, removing the orange peel from the surface of the skin. As soon as it ends, they return again. And this happens during most anti-cellulite procedures. But the vacuum technique leaves no chance for fatty deposits, acting on them directly. At the same time, you need to understand how aggressive this method is and what side effects you will have to face.
