Massage has been used to model body contours for thousands of years. After treating problem areas, the fat layer disappears, the skin tightens, blood supply increases, and lymphatic drainage improves. A similar effect can be obtained from hardware anti-cellulite massage, which has gained popularity relatively recently. Is it worth experimenting with your health and reinventing the wheel if breeches and orange peel can be removed without devices?
First of all, the technique is able to penetrate deeper muscle tissues in order to work them for a long time and with a given intensity. Secondly, finding an experienced massage therapist is a great success; a specialist simply gets tired and cannot influence the problem with the same force. Review statistics say that hardware anti-cellulite massage gives better results in a relatively short time.
Its capabilities will also be appreciated by people who do not have the time and resources to visit salons, but are ready to purchase an electric massager to set up a mini-office at home. To understand which type of hardware massage you need, it is worth getting acquainted with its varieties and operating principle.
Pressotherapy. Lymphatic drainage massage.
Pressotherapy (or lymphatic drainage massage) is a hardware massage performed using compressed air, which is supplied from a special device into special cuffs. The massage can be performed both on the whole body and on its parts (legs, arms, back, abdominal part). The device has software that allows you to adjust the intensity and time of the procedure. During the massage, the patient receives pleasant sensations and relaxation.
Thanks to lymphatic drainage massage, lymph flow is activated, which improves metabolism and helps the body cope with accumulated harmful substances. All this helps strengthen the human immune system, eliminate stretch marks, varicose veins, and, accordingly, swelling of the body.
In general, pressotherapy was invented as a means to relieve swelling and treat its consequences. This procedure allows you to effectively remove excess fluid from tissues, normalize lymph flow and blood flow, and also normalize metabolism in tissues. In addition to medical indications, pressotherapy is quite effective in the fight against cellulite and sagging skin, and in actively reducing body fat mass.
Typically, pressotherapy (or lymphatic drainage) is performed to relieve swelling, prevent and treat varicose veins, relax and recover after physical activity, and prevent cellulite. Also, very often this massage is indicated for bedridden patients and people with limited movement. The pressotherapy procedure on the legs affects the muscles and blood vessels, which allows you to simulate walking and, as a result, normalize metabolic processes and lymph flow.
Suitable for both athletes leading an active life and pregnant women - people with low mobility. It is used by both completely healthy people (to lift their spirits or relax) and people with any diseases. Pressotherapy has a huge list of indications; you can read it at the end of the article.

Vibration massage.
Another type of mechanical influence on the human body is vibration massage. This massage is carried out in a massage chair or on a massage table, using a special device that acts on skin receptors, as well as on receptors of internal organs and the musculoskeletal system, as the name implies, using vibration.
This procedure can be carried out in two ways - stationary and mobile. When a stationary type is used, a vibrotode (an attachment at the end of the apparatus) is placed in one place on the human body for some time, thereby achieving a point action. With a moving type of massage, the vibrotodes are moved along a certain trajectory, which depends on the final desired result. Thus, you can move the nozzle along a straight, spiral, zigzag, transverse, circular or dashed path. Vibromassage spreads our wings (beautiful posture), creates appetizing shapes, creates an attractive appearance, also tightens muscles and eliminates cellulite.
Vacuum massage.
The next type of massage that we will discuss with you will be a vacuum massage. In the process of this type of hardware massage, the “medical cupping” technique is used. Vacuum, or pneumatic, massage involves the inflow and outflow of air using certain suction cups.
Here too, there are two ways to use suction cups. When stationary, the suction cup is applied to the selected area of the body for several minutes, then moved to another area. If the patient has a reduced pain threshold (with a minimum power of exposure, strong unpleasant sensations are observed), then the procedure time is reduced. When moving, as in the case of vibration massage, the suction cup is moved along different trajectories.
Vacuum roller massage.
If you upgrade the vacuum massage (add rollers), you will get a vacuum-roller massage (unexpected, right?). These rollers allow you to grab our skin, which destroys the integrity of fat cells and leads to a decrease in body fat percentage. At the same time, blood flow is also stimulated, which increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen supplied to problem areas. As a result, collagen production begins, soft tissues smooth out over time and become more toned.
Manual or hardware massage – which is better?
To make the right choice for yourself, it is worth getting acquainted with the peculiarities of the impact of each type of massage on the body, its advantages and disadvantages, contraindications and undesirable consequences.
Features of hardware anti-cellulite massage
Features of hardware massage
The force of the device is adjusted automatically, this eliminates the so-called “human factor” when the massage therapist is tired or leaves bruises due to inexperience. Silicone tips of various designs treat the skin gently, without pain. This force of influence is sufficient to correct the subcutaneous layer of fat and cellulite. The massage therapist's hands can penetrate deeper, so the effect in this case is observed faster.
Vibromassage has a complex effect on the body, stimulates the synthesis of “youth proteins”, enhances microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, but it is unlikely to help with serious fat deposits. But it is quite possible to remove cellulite with regular exercise, increase skin tone, tighten muscles, eliminate circulatory disorders, and smooth out skin unevenness.
Depending on the type of device, the session takes 15-40 minutes. For a guaranteed result, 10-15 procedures are recommended at intervals of 1-2 days. More often and longer in this case does not mean better. To keep in shape, you can visit the massage room 2 times a month.
Subtleties of manual massage
Manual massage
The hands of an experienced massage therapist are able to evaluate all the features of the subcutaneous layer in order to influence problem areas with the optimal pace, intensity, and techniques. Manual massage makes it possible to treat skin fragments by pinching, patting, rubbing, rolling, tapping, kneading and other methods to achieve maximum effectiveness.

The hardware type of the procedure is limited in the choice of techniques by the features of attachments and programs. Manual massage can be quite painful and traumatic. With sensitive skin and a low pain threshold, bruises often remain after the procedure. But in medicine, recovery often comes through pain, so you have to put up with this drawback. The procedure lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. On average, you need to undergo 10 sessions with mandatory intervals of 2-3 days for rest.
It’s impossible to say for sure which type of massage is better. You can try a combined option: first warm up the body with a manual massage, and after preparation, treat it with a massager. This will enhance the anti-cellulite effect.

Myostimulation (electric currents)
Pulsed electrical currents rhythmically contract muscle tissue. A special device releases low-voltage electrical charges into facial tissue. Thus, the regeneration and metabolic processes of skin cells are accelerated, endogenous collagen is synthesized, and protection from the harmful effects of the environment occurs.
- Myostimulation is used when:
- It is necessary to model the facial contour.
- Skin laxity, atony of the upper eyelid.
