A person’s success is determined by many signs, including a well-groomed and beautiful body. Much attention has recently been paid to this indicator. But a lack of time, a fast-paced lifestyle and age-related changes make their own adjustments to their lifestyle and appearance. How can you improve your appearance at minimal cost and, most importantly, effectively? Currently, innovative hardware cosmetology perfectly contributes to improving the health of the body and its rejuvenation.
Myostimulation or LPG massage
Various programs contain in their complex the popular myostimulation procedure. This procedure is a kind of “exercise for the lazy.” The bottom line is that pulsed current affects the muscles where correction is required and in this area a contraction of certain muscle groups occurs.
The advantage of myostimulation is that you can develop those muscles that are difficult to influence with conventional physical exercises. As a result of the myostimulation procedure, swelling is eliminated, muscle mass is increased, deep muscles are developed, body volume is reduced, and pain is eliminated in case of problems with the spine.
But, unfortunately, this procedure has an impressive list of contraindications. And before the procedure, a medical examination is necessary in order to prevent undesirable consequences. And the positive result of this procedure will be noticeable only after applying the full course of procedures.
Unlike myostimulation, LPG massage affects the skin, muscles, subcutaneous fat, nerve receptors and blood vessels. And this procedure has a visible effect after the first session, and the list of contraindications is minimal. The LPG massage procedure has a positive effect on the body as a whole.
If you use LPG massage and myostimulation procedures in combination, the result will be unique. In this regard, cosmetologists advise using these procedures together to improve the condition of the skin and to combat excess weight.
Cavitation
This cosmetic procedure is performed using a machine. After it, the volumes are significantly reduced, and the figure becomes more prominent.
Cavitation helps prevent or reduce problems such as:
- Cellulite.
- Zhiroviki.
- Negative consequences after incorrectly performed liposuction, etc.
At the first appointment, the cosmetologist gets to know the patient, learns about the presence of diseases, identifies contraindications and determines the areas in which fatty tissue has accumulated.
The procedure is contraindicated:
- When breastfeeding.
- During critical days.
- In the presence of any pathology.
- With poor blood clotting.
- When diagnosing diabetes of any type.
- For diseases of osteoporosis.
- In case of damage to the skin.
- For oncology.
- During colds.
- If you have a pacemaker.
Non-surgical liposuction has its advantages. Firstly, with its help you can get rid of a significant part of the fat after the first procedure. Secondly, the procedure is painless. The patient does not feel any discomfort. Thirdly, after cavitation there is no need to recover. The skin becomes healthy and elastic.
Like any procedure, this type of liposuction also has its disadvantages. They are as follows:
- High price.
- Duration of the course.
- Risk of re-accumulation of fat due to an unhealthy lifestyle.
- Individual intolerance.
Many women like to lose weight using salon procedures, so along with cavitation they also do lpg massage.
Pressotherapy or LPG massage
One type of lymphatic drainage massage is pressotherapy. This is a hardware procedure and its essence is that problem areas undergo a volumetric effect due to the injection of air, which enters a special suit. The pressotherapy procedure should be used for obesity, venous insufficiency, to restore skin elasticity, to treat cellulite, to improve lymph flow, etc.
A gentle effect on the body is an undoubted advantage of the pressotherapy procedure. It is suitable even for those patients who are prohibited from procedures involving electrophoresis, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound. Taking into account individual characteristics, a course of pressotherapy is prescribed, and the standard number of procedures is ten to fifteen.
The pressotherapy procedure can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, for example, thermolifting. The thermolifting procedure affects the deep layers of fatty tissue and skin, which are the basis of the skin framework. Thermage uses high frequency energy. It is what promotes the formation of collagen and elastin. Tightened skin is a positive result of thermolifting.
Pressotherapy, unlike LPG massage, has a narrower range of applications. And a guarantee of an excellent result will be the comprehensive use of these two procedures, which complement each other perfectly.
VelaShape device – effectiveness and achievements
VelaShape is an innovative device developed on the basic basis of an LPG device and modernized by Israeli scientists using the currently popular ELOS technology (so-called electro-optical energy). His fundamentally new system of influencing problem areas uses four combined techniques: biopolar radio frequency + infrared light + vacuum + roller massage. Each of these methods has numerous advantages, and together they enhance and improve the results obtained.
Multiple practical studies of VelaShape have confirmed and proven that this revolutionary device very quickly and effectively replaced the surgical removal of excess fat deposits (reducing volume, changing body contours, etc.) and skin defects (flabbiness, sagging, stretch marks, etc.) . The versatile effects of VelaShape on the body are associated with the use of effective combined techniques that act on all skin and tissue structural layers simultaneously: physical, thermal and vibration methods.
Another advantage of VelaShape over other devices is the speed of obtaining the desired result. While other devices require three or four sessions to achieve a positive result, with the VelaShape device visual results are achieved almost from the first use. This effect is achieved through a combination of various techniques: vacuum roller massage improves lymphatic drainage and also increases blood circulation; infrared radiation warms the skin to a certain temperature, at which all processes begin to intensively restore the skin structure; High-frequency currents conduct heat generated by infrared radiation into all structural layers of the skin, thereby improving its nutrition with oxygen and other beneficial substances. The result of a massage with VelaShape is improved skin condition, the disappearance of excess volumes in the form of fat deposits, as well as a reduction in the appearance of cellulite or its complete disappearance.
For convenience and practicality, VelaShape is equipped with two types of attachments - VSmooth and VContour. The first attachment is used on large areas of the body (buttocks, waist, back, hips, abdomen), and the second – on local, curved curves (lower abdomen, arms, chin, shoulders, etc.).
It is also noteworthy that to use VelaShape you do not need to purchase an individual suit, because infrared radiation must interact directly with the skin, and in this case the suit only interferes with this. To ensure improved contact with the skin and smooth sliding of the nozzle, special cosmetics are always applied to the skin before starting the procedure.
The choice of schedule for an LPG massage course on VelaShape is selected individually and is based on the condition of the skin, its defects, as well as the volume of fat in problem areas. Five to seven sessions is a standard course, which may vary depending on structural changes in the skin and the effectiveness of each procedure in eliminating fat deposits. Usually, to consolidate the effect of LPG massage, a second course is required, but not earlier than after three months.
LPG massage using the VelaShape device gives excellent results: reduction of volumes of various parts of the body; reducing the appearance of cellulite; skin rejuvenation; improving blood circulation and skin structure; relief of muscle pain; removal of edema; treatment of skin defects (scars, stretch marks, etc.); lymphatic drainage; elimination of fat deposits; strengthening tone - both skin and muscles; anti-stress effect; reducing the area of stretched skin, etc.
The advantages of hardware massage on VelaShape: the absence of bruises and pain, the ability to work on problem areas with varying intensities, the impact on a variety of parts of the body, thanks to the attachments, and the safety of using the device, because it contains a program of special protection against harm.
All of the above advantages of VelaShape give reason to claim that today, it is the most effective and modern device for eliminating not only a wide variety of cosmetic problems, but also health-related problems. It has been repeatedly clinically proven that the use of the VelaShape device gives impressive cosmetic results and improves the patient’s health!
Liposuction or LPG massage
Problems of excess weight can be solved by the surgical procedure of liposuction. But this procedure does not solve the problem of obesity, it just corrects the silhouette. Liposuction can also harm the body. This may include scarring, swelling, pain, numbness, or effects of anesthesia.
The cavitation procedure and LPG massage are considered less traumatic and more effective for getting rid of extra pounds. LPG massage completely restores lymph and blood circulation, effectively affects problem areas, and also increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
An alternative to liposuction is the cavitation procedure. In another way it is also called “ultrasonic liposuction”. The essence of cavitation is to remove fat from cells.
Together, cavitation and LPG massage are an excellent substitute for the liposuction procedure, which can result in pain, complications or an unaesthetic final appearance.
Reviews
Currently, you can find a wide variety of reviews about both procedures. Some people prefer pressotherapy, while others noticed results only after a course of LPG massage.
In general, combining all the reviews, we can conclude that:
- Both methods provide good lymphatic drainage, improve blood circulation and metabolism. At the same time, pressotherapy is aimed at removing excess fluid from the body, and LPG massage has a targeted effect. Therefore, in terms of solving cosmetic problems, the second method is still noticeably more effective;
- the course of pressotherapy lasts a little longer than the course and LPG massage, while its session takes less time;
- the effect of pressotherapy can last for several weeks, provided that certain rules are followed (for example, consuming a certain amount of fluid). After an LPG massage, the effect can last from 6 to 12 months, but subject to all medical recommendations. At the same time, pressotherapy is considered simpler and more accessible.
Wraps or LPG massage
In cosmetology, the wrapping procedure is used. It consists in the fact that after special cosmetic products are applied to the skin, problem areas are wrapped with film. Thus, a “greenhouse effect” is created. Depending on the method of exposure, wraps can be hot or cold. Depending on the use of certain components, there may be chocolate, oil, mud, algae, honey and others.
The effect of the wrap also depends on its type. The wrapping procedure can stimulate metabolism, improve blood circulation, reduce the secretion of the sebaceous glands, improve recovery processes, cleanse pores, etc. During the wrap, beneficial (nutrients) substances penetrate into the skin.
With the help of a wrap you can restore (improve) the appearance of the skin and nothing more. To reduce the volume of fat deposits, wrapping is ineffective as an independent procedure. The result of the wrap can be significantly enhanced if used in combination with thermolifting, LPG massage, mesotherapy, cavitation and other procedures.
LPG massage, if chosen for clarity and effectiveness, has a significant advantage over wraps. Because LPG massage perfectly restores the condition of the skin and also removes fat deposits, but this cannot be achieved only with wrapping. With LPG massage there is a physical factor of influence, but with a wrap this is not the case. The positive result will be doubled, and the skin will take on a stunning, new look, become elastic, healthy and youthful if you combine the wrap with the LPG massage procedure.
My opinion about LPG massage, RF lifting and cavitation - what helps you lose weight?
LPG massage to be the safest , since it only tightens the skin, makes the fat “better”, compressing it a little. This massage is best suited for people who want to achieve firmness and beautiful body contours. If you decide to undergo the procedure, my advice to you is: try LPG first .
If for some reason you cannot lose weight naturally, then cavitation . Of course, after completing the entire course, I did not lose three sizes, like those who are especially stubborn, but the problem area (stomach) went away and tightened up.
A friend told me about three sizes, although I hardly believe her. During the procedures, she played sports (swimming and the gym), switched to proper nutrition and performed as many procedures as possible. If you are ready for the same achievements when fighting excess fat, then rest assured that everything will work out.
And finally, my last procedure is RF lifting . It was she who became the last among all the others. With her help, I tightened a small amount of skin on my face and was satisfied . I also met people who came for procedures after liposuction - after the procedures, the silhouette became clearly defined, and the skin became more elastic.
Verdict: lifting works best in tightening the skin; to achieve other results, you need other procedures . Let me give you a real example: one girl, dissatisfied with excess fat, came to the procedure at a discount, and then was indignant that her stomach was not deflated by several sizes.
Based on all this, understand that these three procedures promise the same effect, but at the same time they work better separately in different directions.
Also remember that a healthy lifestyle cannot be replaced by any procedures or liposuction.
Reviews about LPG massage
In reviews of the LPG massage procedure, some note that it effectively treats cellulite, however, there is an opinion that this is unlikely. LPG massage strengthens the skin and perfectly rejuvenates it, removes waste, excess fluid and toxins, and trains muscle tissue. This procedure has a positive effect on the nervous system of the body, restoring and relaxing it.
The positive result of the LPG massage procedure is ensured by the use of the modern VelaShape device. Unlike a standard LPG device, this device is equipped with several additional functions (infrared heating and thermal lifting), which ensure even better results. Already after the first procedure with the VelaShape device, an improvement in the condition of the skin will be noticeable.
In addition to this, the LPG massage procedure is painless and safe, and patients note quick and lasting results.
LPG Keymodule cellu m6 device – advantages and scope of application
The idea of combining mechanical stimulation of tissue (due to the movement of rollers) and vacuum therapy belonged to the company LPG Systems, which developed it and implemented it in the device - LPG Keymodule cellu m6. The peculiarity of this device is that the vacuum that is created in it is used not as a method of influencing the skin, but only as a fixation of soft tissues for further treatment of problem areas with special rollers, which perform the necessary massaging actions.
As a result of treating problem areas of the body with the device - LPG Keymodule cellu m6, the skin and tissues experience a simultaneous and systemic effect, consisting of the effect of aspiration (or removal of excess fluid), the effect of vibration (or infrasonic vibrations upon contact with tissues) and deformation (or displacement of skin and tissues when processed with rollers). All of the above operations with skin and muscle tissue performed by this device almost always lead to a positive result.
Scientific research in Italy has reliably established that it is the design of the LPG Keymodule cellu m6 device and its technical features that provide the desired effect, expressed in thickening and renewal of the epidermis, increasing the number of fibroblasts and collagen, etc.
Similar studies were carried out by scientists in the USA, who also found that when using the LPG Keymodule cellu m6 device, the subcutaneous tissue is smoothly restored without causing any harm to the skin. It has also been experimentally revealed that the achieved result lasts for a long period of time (up to 6-7 months).
Additional research by scientists in Russia led to the discovery that the use of the LPG Keymodule cellu m6 device has a positive effect on neurosensors (receptors) in the human body, which significantly improve coordination of movements.
Long-term clinical trials of LPG Keymodule cellu m6 around the world have radically changed the approach and attitude to cosmetic hardware procedures. As a result of the use of this device, the world's leading clinics have confirmed that, among other things, there is an increase in muscle strength, swelling and muscle pain are relieved, damaged muscle tissue is restored faster, and even the jump distance increases. The obtained evidence began to be productively used in sports and rehabilitation medicine.
All of the above indicates the effectiveness of the method of influencing LPG massage on the skin and tissues of the body, its ability to remove excess fat from the body, as well as increase blood flow and lymph flow.
Among other things, LPG massage can be combined with other procedures. For example, professionals recommend a combination of LPG massage with thermolifting and cavitation, since such a combination speeds up the results in the formation of a beautiful body. The explanation for this is simple - cavitation (laser or ultrasound) allows you to quickly and naturally remove fat from the body, and thermolifting rejuvenates the skin by exposing it to radio frequency energy.
Prices for LPG massage
The LPG massage procedure is quite popular and there is a great demand for it in beauty salons, and what is especially pleasant is that it is quite affordable.
Factors that influence the final price of an LPG massage procedure are the required number of procedures, the availability of promotions, offers and discounts at the salon. Improving the condition of the skin and carrying out body correction is especially beneficial when you can purchase a set of procedures in the salon consisting of several techniques for each of which a discount is given.
A sedentary lifestyle, stress, poor nutrition, and age-related changes affect your appearance. However, modern cosmetology has in its arsenal a lot of developments that give excellent results.
The LPG massage hardware technique eliminates the signs of aging, rejuvenates and restores the skin, also breaks down fat deposits and gives a sustainable long-term result.
How to choose a roller-vacuum massage device (LPG) from China
How to choose a roller-vacuum massage device (LPG) from China
What you need to know when choosing a roller-vacuum massage device from China.
Most client owners of beauty salons and cosmetology who want to expand their business and introduce new hardware massage services ask us the question: which massage apparatus from China is better to buy?
Currently, with a huge range of devices from China for roller-vacuum massage (LPG type), in fact, there are very few worthy devices.
Massage devices from China are divided into:
- Vacuum massage devices with ball platforms for ease of processing; they use oil.
- Roller-vacuum massage devices with active rollers, with radio lifting, for ease of processing, they use oil or gel.
- Roller-vacuum massage devices with passive rollers for working on a suit.
- Roller-vacuum massage devices with active rollers for suit work
Let's look at each category for its pros and cons using real models as examples:
Vacuum massage devices with ball platforms for ease of processing; they use oil.
The advantages of such devices are their durability and ease of use. In our opinion, the main representative of this type of device is the D-528 model
This is an old, proven model that has a powerful pump, a strong handpiece with removable tips, and cheap filters for filtering out the oil film.
Roller-vacuum massage devices with active rollers, with radio lifting, for ease of processing, they use oil or gel.
This is the most numerous category of devices. Their advantages compared to the previous category:
- The use of active rollers, which increase the effectiveness of roller massage and cellulite removal significantly,
- The use of Radio (RF) lifting enhances tightening and smoothes the skin.
- These devices use a powerful pump up to 95 kPa, which allows for better absorption of the skin and subcutaneous layer for treatment.
Here, customers can choose models based on their cost and manufacturer.
In our opinion, the highest quality models are V8C1 from the Anchorfree factory.
In the middle price category you can find models B-015A, B-020, B-022, OSANO Shape.
In the low price category desktop: D-015A, D-012B
Roller-vacuum massage devices with passive rollers for working on a suit.
The advantages of these devices are the presence of passive rollers in the handle, which significantly reduces the cost of their repair, because it’s no secret that the most expensive and consumable material for devices that work on a suit are the motors for the rollers, which have a certain service life in hours. These devices do not have such motors, and accordingly, they do not need to be changed.
There is one device worth noting in this category: a copy of Starvac 2.
This device is quite portable, desktop, and the disadvantage is that it does not have a strong pump.
Roller-vacuum massage devices with active rollers for suit work
The peculiarity of devices in this category is the presence of a powerful pump (two pumps) and a handpiece design that allows you to work on the suit without jamming the rollers.
There are several models here:
Model HS-6MD01 from the manufacturer Apollo. One of the most expensive in China, it has proven itself in work. Disadvantages: high price for the model, and consumables (block of rollers)
Models IB-1005 (SE-105B), . The advantages of these models are lower prices compared to competitors, both of the devices themselves and of spare parts. The main disadvantage of these models is the decreased quality of the devices themselves, and the manufacturer’s limited warranty (sends free spare parts under warranty in the event of a breakdown in an amount not exceeding 1% of the cost of the device).
Models P-1000A, and Mini LPG. The advantages of these models are the better quality of the devices themselves and the trouble-free delivery of spare parts for their repair. The downside is their higher cost of devices and spare parts than previous models from other manufacturers.
Handpieces for all massage devices without exception are consumables and are not subject to warranty repair.
To select a device from one category or another, the client first needs to understand which device he needs, and the choice will be obvious.
Many people want to buy a device for working on a suit, expecting to receive additional profit from the sale of suits for the procedures performed, but few people understand that the business of carrying out suit procedures is not always profitable, since when working on a suit, the roller blocks in the handles of the devices break ( motors burn out or drive gears break), the repair of which may exceed the profit from the sale of procedures. In this case, devices for working with oil or with passive rollers will be more profitable.

Benefits and reviews of cavitation for weight loss
Cavitation is a real find for lazy women who do not want to improve their figure in the gym. After ultrasound therapy in several sessions, you can significantly reduce the volume of your own body, tighten sagging skin, and remove the appearance of even the most advanced cellulite. At the same time, you should not strain and sweat on the exercise equipment in the fitness club. As for customer reviews, they were divided into both positive and negative. The positive ones include:
- Duration of the procedure. In one session you can remove up to 3 cm in volume. The anti-cellulite effect is achieved by visiting 10 sessions, which are held once a week. Further, to keep the body in order, go to cavitation once every 4-5 months.
- No pain, bruising or swelling. Just pleasant warmth.
- The procedure is considered physiotherapeutic, so it can be used at any age.
- Saves time. The longest procedure lasts no more than an hour on neglected areas; generally the treatment time lasts 15–25 minutes.
There are much more negative reviews, which mainly include the high cost of the procedure. One cavitation session in different cities of Russia can range from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles. Some women say that for this price it is easier to buy an annual membership to the gym or pool. There are those for whom cavitation did not bring visible results, and many were forced to go on strict diets during the ultrasound procedure.
When is it preferable to use pressotherapy or LPG?
Vacuum massage helps well with impaired blood flow, poor lymph movement, congestion in tissues, and local fat accumulations. Therefore, it is good to use for women suffering from edema, large body weight, and poor metabolism.
LPG massage is recommended for cellulite and unwanted accumulations of fat (for example, it reduces fat “ears” on the thighs). It helps well with poor tone and sagging skin of the face and neck, increasing its elasticity, and gives an excellent lifting effect.
What helps better against cellulite: RF lifting, LPG or cavitation. Real review
I was able to compare the results for each of the above courses of procedures with an interval of 1 year.
I present my real experience to you in this plate for clarity:
Comparison criteria | LPG massage | |
Result | My skin tightened and seemed to be rejuvenated. My legs became smooth, and the “chicken wings” on my arms, which I had been unsuccessfully fighting, disappeared. Now the skin looks healthier and more well-groomed. | Of course, with the same lifestyle, a fat woman will not become a doe, so doctors recommended everyone to increase the amount of water per day and eat less sweets. I had recently lost weight, so when I came in for the procedure, I only needed to tighten the skin on my face and stomach. The course consists of 3-5 procedures, especially curvy ladies managed to fit into clothes two sizes smaller. |
Pros and differences from other procedures | Unlike cavitation and lifting, massage is used not only to remove excess fat, but also to reduce scars and other damage. | Cavitation is similar to liposuction, but does not leave scars on the skin. That is why obesity is treated with cavitation, and very successfully. |
Feelings, preparation for the procedure | Before the procedure, you need to identify areas of fat accumulation. Then you put on a special suit, similar to tights, and lie down while the device is moved over you. | During the procedure I did not feel any pain, everything went quickly. |
Possible danger | If you carry out the procedure without any diseases or disorders, then it will not cause any harm. I didn’t have any of the contraindications, so I only got benefits. | An organism that is not accustomed to this kind of stress may react with a large number of bruises. Also, a weak heart or other organ may not be able to withstand it, so a few days before the procedure it was necessary to give up alcohol and fatty foods. |
Indications | Scars, sagging skin on the face, stomach or thighs. | As far as I know, most often older women who want to remove skin that has sagged over the years or a double chin decide to undergo the procedure. Ladies also come there to get rid of severe cellulite or large fat deposits. |
How does it work | Using a special device with various attachments, the doctor massages problem areas using a vacuum-pinch method. | During the procedure, low-frequency impulses affect fat cells, as a result, the fat inside them melts and flows out naturally. Cavitation, unlike liposuction and other procedures, is painless and not so expensive. |
Contraindications | There are several contraindications to this massage, although less significant than contraindications to cavitation:
| Cavitation has many contraindications, including:
|
This table is useful for those who have not decided what to choose for losing weight and getting rid of cellulite. I note that all procedures are completely different, and only agree on the effect of application.
Possible side effects
Despite all the benefits of the procedure, it has some negative aspects. These include bruises after a vacuum roller massage. This phenomenon has a scientific name - extravasation.
Red, purple or bluish spots are the result of small capillary hemorrhages. During the procedure, there is no damage to the integrity of the vessel walls. Bruises indicate the presence of stagnant processes in this area.
Extravasation normally occurs after the first sessions of hardware therapy. Then the body's sensitivity to mechanical stress gradually decreases. By the 4th-5th procedure, the spots become less noticeable, gradually resolve and no longer appear, which indicates normalization of blood circulation.
To maintain the effect and increase its duration, it is recommended to use special body cosmetics that have a corrective effect in the intervals between sessions.
How does LPG massage work?
After the plane crash in which Monsieur Guitey was involved, he underwent a grueling course of rehabilitation. During the manual massage, he noticed its ineffectiveness. This prompted the engineer to create a massager that greatly simplifies the work of a massage therapist, and the massage process itself is made tens of times better.
The lpg device has a three-dimensional effect on the skin. The procedure is carried out using a special suit that is worn on the body. It serves for hygiene and makes the procedure better in terms of comfort, softening the impact of hardware manipulations. The manipulations themselves are carried out with special rollers, one of which grabs a fold of skin, a vacuum sucks it in, and the other roller smoothes it out.
Thanks to this procedure, collagen synthesis occurs in the skin, its elasticity level increases and color improves. This helps the weight loss process, as intensive fat burning (lipolysis) occurs. After several procedures, the appearance of cellulite is noticeably reduced. The massage itself is pleasant because it is non-traumatic, after the procedure there are practically no bruises left, it is not only completely painless, but rather pleasant. After the procedure, clients not only receive a renewed body, but also get rid of stress and poor health.
Gaultier is a rich man
The difficult fate of women (men are lucky - they don’t have cellulite) was made easier by the French engineer Louis-Paul Gaultier. He invented a device that smoothes the skin gently but extremely effectively.
There would be no happiness, but misfortune would help. Louis-Paul was in a serious accident, and in order to recover from his injuries, doctors prescribed him a long course of massage. Either the qualifications of the local craftsmen did not suit Gautier, or there was no longer enough money, or simply due to idleness, the engineer decided to mechanize the massage process. And he succeeded.
Imagine the inventor’s surprise when testing the device revealed that it not only relieves swelling and helps scars to resolve, but also improves the structure of the skin. Tightens it, makes it more elastic and smooth, reduces fat deposits. It also calms the nerves and improves immunity.
Louis-Paul Gaultier immediately patented his brainchild and gave the technique the commercial name “ endermology ”. And it is connected with the skin (dermis), and it sounds beautiful.
Contraindications to the procedure
Despite the effectiveness of this method, it is not recommended for use in cases of varicose veins and increased fragility of blood vessels. Other contraindications to vacuum roller massage include:
- hypertonic disease;
- skin pathologies;
- diseases ;
- disorders the cardiovascular system;
- cancer;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- infectious diseases;
- acute inflammatory processes in the body.
It is not recommended to do vacuum roller massage during menstruation, pregnancy, or with gynecological pathologies. Manipulation should be carried out with caution during the onset of menopause.
The sides were bruised
“The procedure will take a little more than half an hour, if it hurts, tell me,” the owner of LPG warned me. She reacted very skeptically to my willingness to endure for the sake of beauty.
It turns out that pain is stress and a signal warning our body of danger. This also applies to skin. Sensing something is wrong, she immediately turns on the defense system and ceases to adequately perceive beneficial effects. So it is not recommended to pretend to be a martyr in a massage parlor; this is not a sadomasochistic salon.
I climbed onto the table, made myself comfortable and relaxed, the doctor took the trunk hose in her hands. The procedure has begun.
Through the thin layer of the special overalls, the wide tip of the hose stuck to me. From the vacuum, the skin lifted slightly and fell between rotating rollers arranged in two rows - the main working unit of the LPG device. Having properly stretched the resulting fold, the tip (as if “rolling” it) gently and smoothly slid further, processing more and more new areas. I won’t say it’s very pleasant, but it’s quite tolerable. You can imagine yourself as a carpet being vacuumed.
After about ten minutes, on command, I turn over from my back to my stomach, the work on my body continues. Experts claim that at this stage of the massage, blood flow in small blood capillaries and lymphatic vessels improves. As a result, swelling disappears, skin elasticity increases, fatigue goes away, and even somehow (apparently, reflexively) the functioning of the endocrine glands (adrenal glands, ovaries and thyroid gland) is normalized.
The next stage is to work on problem areas: excess fat deposits and cellulite irregularities. The intensity of the device's buzzing, the speed of rotation of the rollers and their pressure on the skin automatically changes. Now I am no longer a carpet, but something like pie dough. I feel in my spinal cord how my fat cells are being destroyed, how cellulite is begging for mercy. And I fall asleep...
What is the essence of the endermology method?
How does lpg hardware massage differ from regular manual massage and what is the essence of the procedure? For impact, special rollers are used (Roll In, Roll Out, Roll Up), each of which has its own function and performs the assigned task. One roller captures a fold of skin with fat deposits, the other “grinds” it and breaks the membranes of fat cells.
Due to the formation of a vacuum in the skin folds, a rush of blood begins, which means that more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to problem areas. At the same time, the outflow of lymph increases, through which broken adipocytes (fat cells), as well as cell breakdown products, poisons and stored toxins (the cause of cellulite) are gradually removed.
The destruction of adipocytes does not go unnoticed by the surrounding tissues where collagen and elastin fibers are located. Renewal occurs at the level of the subcutaneous fat layer, where the production of new collagen and elastin fibers increases, providing a toned and fresh appearance to problem areas of the body.
The entire program is regulated using a computer, and the intensity of the massage and the number of sessions are calculated separately for each patient. The uniqueness and positive impact of the method were noted by the American FDA (medical certification commission), which at one time even managed to ban the use of silicone.
The most important characteristics of LPG devices
Original technology.
The LPG device operates on the principle of vacuum action combined with mechanical manipulation. As a rule, the original is always better than its analogues. Therefore, originality should always be valued higher.
Convenient controls.
Modern LPG devices are full-fledged computerized complexes with an intuitive interface and LCD screen. The first models did not have such parameters, although they were also lower in price. More convenient models in terms of handling can count on higher scores.
Variety of procedures.
There are devices whose purpose is to affect only the torso itself or only the face. Some models combine these functions. With the help of LPG devices, it is possible to carry out figure correction using endermological methods, direct lipomassage, LPG massage of the face itself, sports LPG massage, as well as LPG massage according to medical indications. The more versatile the device, the higher the scores.
Availability of certificate and RU.
Certification of equipment and the presence of a Registration Certificate used in the medical and cosmetology fields is very important. This speaks volumes about the quality and safety of the product. Devices with certificates and identifications receive more points in our rating.
Price.
The price of LPG devices can be quite high; analogues, replicas, and clones can cost significantly less.
More budget-priced models receive high scores. Popularity and prevalence of the brand in Russia. More popular models have the opportunity to score more points. Table
One LPG massage procedure: before and after
Research has proven that the effectiveness of the endermology method can be tracked after the first session. Thus, observing patients before and after LPGI massage, the following were established:
- improvement of blood microcirculation in tissues, which contributes to their nutrition and enrichment with oxygen;
- an increase in the outflow of venous blood, which rids skin cells of harmful products of natural decay;
- increased lymph outflow.
LPG massage is an excellent alternative to plastic surgery. With its help, you can achieve pronounced cosmetic results without surgery. The effectiveness of endermology is confirmed by the American FDA certification system.
