The benefits of massage with banks for cellulite

Cupping massage helps to get rid of cellulite. But it also has a positive effect on the body as a whole, which is expressed in the following.

For instance:

• metabolism is accelerated at the cellular level, which contributes to the rapid burning of subcutaneous fat;

• the work of the lymphatic drainage system is stimulated;
• the function of the cardiovascular system improves;
• toxins and toxins are removed;
• sweating is normalized;
• muscles are toned, the skin is tightened, stretch marks are reduced.

Another massage with cups destroys subcutaneous fat and increases muscle tone. Thanks to this procedure, you can remove a few extra centimeters from the abdomen and hips, tighten the abdomen and correct the shape of the legs.

How to prepare for the procedure

The procedure will require the following:

1. Vacuum cans.If old-style products are used, then you also need to stock up on alcohol and a cotton swab.
2. Skin lubricant. You can apply anti-cellulite cream, shower gel, essential oils, or your own product to the body.
3. Towel.
4. Moisturizing cream.

Massage with cans for cellulite can be done on your own on the outer side of the thigh, arms and stomach. In the first case, the procedure can be carried out while standing or lying down. When exposed to the stomach, you need to lie down on a trestle bed or bed. But the back of your legs is difficult to massage yourself. And for the procedure to be of maximum benefit, it is advisable that it be performed by an assistant.

Selection of cans

There are several types of cups that can be used for anti-cellulite massage.

And the end result largely depends on their choice:

1. Rubber. Made of high quality medical rubber. The advantages include low cost and practicality. The disadvantage is that creams and oils are absorbed into the rubber, which makes the cans difficult to clean. Before use, you need to hold the cans in hot water to soften the material.
2. Silicone... Does not absorb creams and oils, does not stain and is easy to clean. Silicone jars are always soft, so they do not need to be kept in hot water before the procedure.
3. Glass... Outdated products without additional attachments can be used for massage. But to create a vacuum in them, you will need to set fire to a cotton swab. Modern models are equipped with a rubber nozzle, so that when using them, no fire is needed. And thanks to the ability to regulate pressure, such cans can be used even on sensitive areas (abdomen, arms, inner thigh). Does not absorb oils and creams. Disadvantages - fragility and high price.
4. Cans with a pump... Made of medical grade plastic. The advantages include the fact that when using cans, you can control and adjust the intensity of exposure. They are durable, do not peel, do not absorb oil. Disadvantages - cannot be used on its own, since tissue can be injured due to strong suction.
5. With magnetic attachments... Multifunctional cups, the use of which combines vacuum massage, acupuncture and magnetotherapy. The disadvantages include high cost.

Banks are of different diameters: from 1 to 8 cm. And you need to choose a product, starting from which problem area you need to influence. To massage the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, chest, it is worth using jars with a diameter of 5 cm or more. Hands should be processed with products up to 5 cm in diameter.

How to lubricate the skin

Any anti-cellulite cream can be used for massage. But such a tool makes it difficult for the cans to slide on the skin, therefore, professionals recommend using essential oils during the procedure, and it is advisable to give preference to such of them.

for instance:

1. Juniper oil... Accelerates metabolic processes, contributing to weight loss. It has a general stimulating effect and tones the nervous system, relieving stress and irritation.
2. Geranium oil... Activates lymph flow, fighting stagnant processes. Recommended for sensitive and irritated skin.
3. Cedar oil... It accelerates blood circulation, relieves swelling, calms the nervous system.
4. Orange oil... Saturates the skin with vitamins and oxygen. Promotes cell regeneration and accelerates the removal of toxins and toxins.

If desired, you can make a special mixture that effectively fights against the manifestations of cellulite. To do this, you need to connect 3 tbsp. l. olive oil with a pinch of cinnamon and ground red pepper. The resulting mass should be heated in a water bath. After that, you need to add 4 drops of any anti-cellulite essential oil to it.

Preparation for the procedure

Massage with banks for cellulite will bring the maximum effect if you prepare for it correctly.Before the procedure, it is recommended to visit the sauna or steam bath, or take a hot bath with the addition of sea salt. Then the skin will be well steamed and the result will be more noticeable.

If this is not possible, then you need to visit the shower and be sure to cleanse the skin of dead cells using a scrub or washcloth. Further, a session of conventional manual massage is carried out for 5-10 minutes. You can replace this session with rubbing with a towel.

A signal that it's time to move on to the main procedure is a slight reddening of the skin. After that, you need to apply a generous amount of oil or cream to the body, and rub it thoroughly over the skin. When the product is absorbed, you can start the procedure.

Varieties of massage with banks for cellulite and execution techniques

The technique of performing the procedure largely depends on the choice of the zone that is affected:

1. Legs and forearms... The massage is carried out in vertical movements from top to bottom and back.
   
2. Buttocks... At the beginning of the session, the muscles are massaged in a circular motion, and then the banks should be pulled up and down.
3. Stomach... The area is massaged in a circle, then you should perform ray movements in different directions from the navel.
4. Hips... This area is worked out in zigzag, circular and vertical movements.

It is strictly forbidden to work out the inner side of the thigh, nipples, popliteal cavities and groin area.

You need to massage your arms, legs and buttocks for 10-15 minutes. The thighs, where the fat deposits are usually more concentrated, should be treated for 25 minutes. But it is allowed to affect the stomach no more than 5 minutes. There are several types of massage, depending on which jar is chosen. In any case, the session begins with a preparatory stage.

The technique of the procedure is unchanged, only the method of installing the product changes:

Thai cupping massage

This type of exposure is considered the most effective, but it also has its drawbacks. First of all, Thai massage cannot be done to oneself. In addition, some experience is required to carry out such a procedure. In addition, for the session, you need to purchase special Thai candles, consisting of wax, cotton and ozokerite.

After the preparatory stage, you need to light a candle, let it burn out for some time to drain the wax, and then put it on the skin and cover it with a jar. After that, you can proceed to the procedure itself.

Shower session

To save time, you can have a massage while taking a shower or bath.

To begin with, you should warm up well with hot water the area on which it is planned to be exposed to banks.

Next, the skin is rubbed with a washcloth or mitten, and lubricated with shower gel. After that, a massage is performed with a silicone can. At the end of the procedure, you must take a contrast shower, ending the session with a cold douche.

Static massage

This massage differs from the classical one in that the cups are simply placed on the body and left on for a while. The procedure has a slightly less effect than a dynamic effect, but it is suitable for those with mild cellulite.

How is the session carried out:

1. The procedure begins with preparation. That is, you need to steam the skin, and then treat it with any massage agent.
2. Air is released from the cans, and then they are installed on the desired part of the body. A distance of 5-10 cm is maintained between the products. The skin should be drawn into the jar no deeper than 1.5 cm.
3. The first session should last no more than 3-5 minutes for each area. In the future, you can gradually increase the impact up to 15-20 minutes. But it is important to remember that the session should be no more than 5 minutes longer than the previous one. It is worth stopping the procedure if there is severe pain or discomfort.
4. At the end of the time, the banks should be carefully removed. To do this, you need to stick your finger under their edge. If modern models are used, then you just need to raise their valve.
5. After the procedure, remove the remaining oil with a tissue or water.

Circular bruising may occur after static massage. This is a normal reaction that will go away on its own. After 4-5 sessions, the skin will adapt and new traces will stop appearing.

Algorithm for massage with banks for cellulite

Bank massage for cellulite is divided into three stages and is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. After a shower or sauna, a light massage is provided. You need to lightly pinch and stroke the skin. Such manipulations relax muscles and ligaments, and also prepare the skin for stress. Thanks to this, during the procedure, practically no discomfort occurs.
2. The body is abundantly lubricated with a massage agent so that during the session the jar glides over the skin. Remains of cream or oil should be wiped off your hands, otherwise the product will slip out during the procedure.
3. The jar is placed on the skin and a vacuum is created. The product must fit snugly and tightly to the body. If the jar "peeled off" during the procedure, it means that little massage agent was applied to the skin or the air was poorly pumped out of it. Next, you should smoothly move the product along the lymph nodes, and it is desirable to go from top to bottom. That is, if the leg is massaged, then you need to start from the knee, rising to the thigh. Do not move the jar too sharply or quickly - this will not enhance, but, on the contrary, weaken the effect. One line should be worked out no more than 5-6 times. The procedure can and should be accompanied by minor pain sensations, which means that everything is being done correctly. If the pain is too sharp and intolerable, then the session should be stopped.
4. At the end of the procedure, a soothing massage should be performed. And then wash off the remaining oil with water, and spread the skin with any moisturizer.

Experts recommend lying down for 15-20 minutes after the massage with cans, wrapped in a towel. Swelling and bruising may occur after the session.

To prevent their appearance, it is advisable to apply on the skin a venotonic or decongestant ointment, for example, "Troxevasin" or "Lyoton". And also experts advise to refrain from eating for an hour after the massage.

Duration of massage with banks for cellulite

It is enough to carry out sessions of cupping massage 2-3 times a week. If you perform the procedure more often, then the load on the blood vessels will noticeably increase, which will negatively affect their condition.

The visible result will appear already by 3-5 sessions.

But in order to completely get rid of the problem, it will take 10-12 procedures, depending on the degree of cellulite and lifestyle. If in one course it was not possible to achieve the desired effect, then you should take a break from 3 weeks to six months, and then repeat the treatment.

The harm of massage with banks from cellulite and contraindications

Massage with banks for cellulite cannot be called an absolutely safe procedure, because the vacuum affects not only the skin, but also the internal organs.

Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to conduct such sessions if there are such pathologies:

• exacerbation of chronic and infectious diseases;
• varicose veins and thrombophlebitis;
• hypertension and diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis;
• chronic osteomyelitis;
• inflammation of the lymph nodes;

• oncology and benign tumors;
• urinary tract problems and gallstone disease;
• postoperative period;
• active stage of tuberculosis.

It is strictly forbidden to carry out sessions during pregnancy, because this will lead to a miscarriage.

And also it is impossible to influence the body with a vacuum during the lactation period. After a cesarean section or natural childbirth, you can massage the chest, abdomen and back with cans only after six months. It is advisable not to conduct sessions when there is a rash, insect bites, scratches and other damage on the skin. This procedure should be done with caution during menstruation.

During this period, you can massage the thighs, legs and arms, but it is forbidden to affect the abdomen so as not to increase bleeding. Cupping massage helps to cope with the external manifestations of cellulite. But the "orange peel" - these are just the consequences of a wrong lifestyle.

Therefore, in order for the procedures to bring maximum effect, it is necessary to approach the problem in a comprehensive manner. That is, along with massage, you should give up bad habits and fast food, and you should also switch to proper nutrition and play sports.
