No cellulite: why else do you need a can massage and how to do it at home

Cellulite bothers millions of women around the world. It does not spare either young girls or mature women, neither “phytonians” nor lovers of sweets. You can disappear all day long in gyms, but the insidious “orange peel” will still remain with you – it needs a special approach. One of the most effective means is vacuum massage. We tell you how it works and how to make a massage with the help of jars at home.

Why vacuum massage is so effective

In some areas of the body fat tissue is distributed unevenly and forms bumps, simply because the blood circulation in these places is less active. Hence the main problem areas are the buttocks, thighs and abdomen. Modern lifestyle with sedentary work and constant stress only encourages the appearance of cellulite. But in addition to this, there are other unfavorable factors, from improper diet to hormonal failures and ecology.

Be that as it may, cellulite is a completely normal and natural phenomenon. But if you want to get rid of it, vacuum massage will help you. This is a special technique in which a differential pressure is created on the skin. This procedure accelerates blood flow, improves the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, stimulates cell renewal and lymphatic drainage. Due to this, fat deposits are broken down and swelling goes away, collagen production is activated, which improves skin elasticity. In addition, this procedure is useful for muscle pain, for example, after exercise.

It should be noted that vacuum massage is not suitable for everyone. It has a rather large list of contraindications, which includes skin diseases, varicose veins, hypertension, thrombophlebitis, diseases of the cardiovascular system, skin damage, chronic infections, pregnancy, cancer, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a doctor before performing the procedure.

How to make a can massage at home

There are several types of vacuum massage. Most of them can be done only in the salon with the help of special apparatuses. For example, vacuum-roller massage (inside the jar are special rollers that enhance the effect), apparatus (conducted by a special device that alternates between increased and decreased pressure) or laser-vacuum (combines vacuum with the impact of laser beams) to perform at home will not work.

Jar massage is familiar to many since childhood – often mothers and grandmothers in colds put banks on the back. Although today there are not only glass, but also rubber, and silicone variations, with which you can do massage not only in the salon, but also at home. The main thing is to observe the simple rules.

Skin preparation

Before the procedure, it is necessary to warm up the skin in those places that you are going to treat. If desired, you can take a hot bath, go to the bath or for a few minutes to rub the skin with the help of oil heated in your hands. And it is worth applying it in any case to protect the skin from damage. The best oils to use are those that stimulate blood and lymph flow, such as patchouli, rosemary or dill. You can also use an anti-cellulite cream in addition to the oil.

“Stop zones”

Do not forget about the “forbidden” places, where in no case you can not do vacuum massage. These are the areas under the knees, the upper part of the inner surface of the thigh and the groin area. Here are located lymph nodes, and if you damage them, you can disrupt the lymph flow. Also to the “stop zones” include the chest and heart area.

Massage lines

Massage should be performed in smooth circular movements, without pressing on the jar or pulling it away from the skin. Legs should be treated from bottom to top, starting just above the knee, buttocks – from the center to the outer edges, abdomen – clockwise.

Take your time

Hurry will not double the effect of the massage, but on the contrary, only harm. The jar will begin to slip, in addition may appear bruises. Also do not stay in one place for a long time: if you leave the “suction cup” without movement for longer than three seconds, a bruise is definitely ensured. There is no need to hurry, but count crows too. Attention and concentration are important in this case.

Duration

Each zone should be treated for 3-4 minutes on average. After a while, you will get used to it and realize what duration suits you. Between treatments you should take a break of 1-2 days to allow the skin and capillaries to recover. One course lasts 10-15 sessions, and the results will be noticeable after the first five. In a year, 2-3 courses are enough, and for prevention, massage can be done once every 2 weeks.

However, it is important to realize that the can massage is not a panacea. It will help to cope with cellulite and tone the skin, but a slim figure can only be achieved with the help of sports and proper nutrition.
