Who needs LPG massage
It is not always possible to lead the lifestyle we would like. Incorrect daily routine, improper nutrition, lack of exercise, these and other factors lead to the fact that extra pounds are formed on the legs and hips, the stomach and sides are also not what they used to be.
In such cases, you can resort to various weight loss procedures, this could be body wraps and other types of anti-cellulite massage.
But LPG massage itself is a fairly effective technique. She has proven herself and is popular. This is evidenced by reviews and results about the procedure.
Simply put, LPG massage can be done:
- For cellulite;
- Overweight;
- Contour correction of body contour;
- For loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin;
- Removing the fat layer;
- Treatment of certain skin defects such as burn marks or scars;
- To speed up the rehabilitation of athletes;
- To relieve swelling;
- To improve general condition, relieve muscle tension.
The use of LPG massage is indicated in many cases, not necessarily due to excess weight or cellulite. In fact, massage is quite often used to work with professional athletes.
The essence of LPG massage
The technique was invented about fifty years ago; its creator is considered to be an engineer from France, Louis Paul Guitet. The mechanism of action is based on the use of a “handle” equipped with rotating rollers. The device affects the upper layers of the skin and subcutaneous fat layers. The mechanism is based on pinching certain areas of the skin, which are simultaneously exposed to vacuum.
The procedure resembles an anti-cellulite massage, the duration of exposure is much shorter. The method is in high demand all over the world, numerous improvements have been made over the past decades, and work on improvements is constantly ongoing.
How does the vacuum massage procedure work?
LPG massage should be carried out by an experienced master, since this process has its own subtleties, and it cannot be carried out at home if there is no equipment and the skillful hands of a master.
The first thing to do is conduct a consultation and assessment. If there are no contraindications, the specialist will conduct an analysis and identify problem areas that will receive the main impact. It must be said that the process of this vacuum massage takes place in a special suit. On which preliminary notes are made about the location of problem areas. In addition, full-length photographs are taken for further comparison.
Since the LPG massage machine is equipped with various modes, the process itself involves stages. First, the massage takes place in a mode that has a general effect and improves blood flow.
Then there is a mode that allows you to reduce body fat, thereby correcting your figure; this is the main mode. And a smoothing mode that has a soothing effect on the skin.

This type of vacuum massage has complex technology. Since the device itself has several modes of influence, and plus the work of the master includes various methods of influence, these are twisting, sliding, grinding and rocking. Each movement is necessary to perform a specific task.

The main goal of the procedure is to get rid of cellulite, correct the contours of the figure, get rid of subcutaneous fat, and have a beneficial effect on the skin.
Efficiency of the procedure:
- Impact on blood microcirculation, resulting in the destruction of fat cells, cellulite disappears, the skin becomes smoother and more elastic (cellulite is formed due to impaired blood circulation in the vessels);
- Getting rid of puffiness, stimulating the circulation of lymphatic fluid;
- Reducing facial wrinkles, increasing skin tone;
- Exfoliation of the outer layer of the epidermis, renewal;
- Acceleration of scar regeneration;
- Oxygen saturation of the affected areas of the skin, reducing the severity of scars.
How long does it take to do an LPG massage?
You need to understand that this type of vacuum massage is performed in a course, and the quantity is prescribed by the master during diagnosis. If the situation is, roughly speaking, neglected, then a course of LPG massage can be prescribed in the amount of 20 sessions. The break between them is usually 3-4 days. In terms of time, the duration of the massage is about 40 minutes.

If you just want to try this procedure on yourself and relax and stretch your muscles, you can go to a trial lesson and then sign up for a few more. You can decide this together with your master. Of course, after the 1st procedure you will not be able to completely remove your stomach and sides (if any), but you will feel some changes almost immediately.
Indications for the procedure
The endermotherapy method has no gender distinctions. Its use is justified if there are indications:
- excess lipid layer, fat pads around the abdomen and thighs;
- cellulite of any stage and any location;
- decreased turgor, sagging skin;
- stretch marks, unaesthetic scars;
- spastic muscle condition;
- increased swelling of the legs.
Facial massage is performed when the following are diagnosed:
- acne scars;
- weakened skin turgor and plasticity;
- loss of cheekbone contour, sagging facial contours.
Attention ! Negative reviews are often generated due to the low qualifications of the specialist, incorrectly selected technique, and non-compliance with the rules of course therapy.
Contraindications
So, you should refrain from this vacuum massage:
- during breastfeeding;
- in case of infections and serious illnesses;
- with varicose veins;
- for oncological diseases;
- for nervous disorders.
You should avoid the procedure during menstruation and pregnancy.
These are the main contraindications for performing vacuum LPG massage, but before the procedure you will be consulted by an experienced specialist who will conduct an examination on the possibility of performing a massage.
Service cost
The price of LPG massage is not low, since expensive equipment is used and the work of the master is also not easy. The massage itself lasts about 40 minutes. It is more profitable to do this vacuum massage as a course, since salons usually give a good discount.
If in our city, on average, there are millions of people, one procedure of vacuum LPG massage costs about 1,600 rubles, then a course of 10 sessions, the same salon will sell for 13,000 rubles.
In Moscow the price will be slightly higher, as in St. Petersburg, although it depends on the salon and its location. You can also find them at the same prices, or even cheaper. Don’t forget that you need to buy a suit for LPG massage separately, the price of which is about 1000 rubles. But this is directly in the salon. If you look somewhere else, I think there are cheaper ones.
Mechanism of action
Initially, the method was developed for recovery from sports injuries, treatment of ligamentous sprains, and burn scars. But the procedure, otherwise called endermotherapy , received its main development in cosmetology. The endermotherapy apparatus is a combination of a rotating roller system. The vacuum effect is provided by a handpiece - a special sealed bowl. The technology allows you to combine and alternate vacuum and mechanical massage. The pressure force and intensity of rotation are controlled by a built-in camera.
The mechanism of action is based on increased blood circulation and oxygen supply in the treated area. Metabolism and breakdown of fat cells in a particular area occurs faster. Improved lymph flow removes breakdown products and toxic metabolites. The production of your own collagen is doubled, due to which the skin does not sag after losing weight.

Combination with other techniques
The possibility of combining endermotherapy with additional methods of body correction should be discussed with the massage therapist. Some procedures are mutually exclusive or useless. Techniques with which LPG massage can be combined:
- microcurrent stimulation;
- ultrasonic liposuction;
- injection cosmetology;
- compression therapy.
LPG massage is an effective way in the fight for an ideal figure. But it is not a “magic wand”. In order to get results, you need to make personal efforts and change habits in favor of a healthy lifestyle.

What does the effect depend on?
A satisfactory result from course therapy is based on 3 rules. In order for the massage to live up to expectations and not turn out to be a waste of money and disappointment, it is important:
- carefully consider the choice of specialist;
- change lifestyle, nutrition, drinking regime;
- summarize at the end of the course, do not wait for “magical changes” after 1 – 2 sessions.
LPG massage goes well with other body shaping methods.
How to choose a specialist
Despite the abundance of offers for conducting endermotherapy at home, it is better to give preference to large beauty salons. They are the ones who purchase and use high-quality equipment.
When considering options, it is important to pay attention to the salon's review column, the list of technicians and the record of their qualifications. It is important which manufacturer’s equipment is used and whether the salon has certificates. As a rule, such procedures provide a free or discounted trial session, which allows a person to understand whether the technique is suitable for him or not.
