Vacuum And Cupping Massage

Vacuum massage is an effective and safe way of recovery, body treatment, rejuvenation and quality longevity. It helps to improve the condition of many diseases and achieve a cosmetic effect.

Under the action of vacuum to the place of action increases blood flow. Tissues receive more oxygen. They more quickly absorb useful substances and remove toxins. If there are fat deposits, they are broken down, and adhesions and stretch marks are dissolved. Muscle and fascial structures, tendons, ligaments and reflexively connected internal organs are worked on.

Advantages and effectiveness of vacuum massage

• Elimination of stagnant phenomena in the body - spasms, clamps, painful points.
• Improved blood circulation. Increased blood flow better provides cells with oxygen and useful substances.
• Stimulation of metabolic processes for weight loss and general recovery.
• Activation of skin renewal. Vacuum massage stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which strengthen and rejuvenate the skin.
• Effects on blood vessels, muscles and internal organs. Massage helps to relax muscles, increase the tone of blood vessels and organs.
• Activation of general toning action, relieving tension and releasing energy.

Starts a unique natural process of neovasculogenesis, i.e. the formation of new, young microvessels in pathologically altered tissues. This contributes to the restoration and rejuvenation of the microvascular network of tissue structures, effective treatment

Features of apparatus vacuum massage in the clinic

Vacuum therapy in the clinic of Dr Vedova is built on modern technology. The apparatus creates vibrating pressure in the jar with different power and pulsation.

There is a powerful healing and rejuvenating effect, which is impossible to achieve in the traditional way of vacuum massage. The master does not just place the jars with a certain pressure, he adjusts the strength of the vacuum depending on the condition of the skin, muscle tone and the patient's problems. Our specialist feels the patient and controls the machine in such a way that special vibrations are created to suit each individual. He knows which points and with what pressure the jars should be applied.

Double gradient action

For vacuum massage, jars of different diameters and made of different materials are used. The different degrees of air rarefaction create a pressure gradient (differential).

In vacuum massage, a double gradient is created:

• A vertical gradient of force occurs when the neck of the can is pressed on the soft tissues with thin air and at the same time the tissues are pulled inside the can.
• Horizontal gradient occurs between areas of soft tissue that are pressed by different diameter cans.

With vertical-horizontal pressure gradient, tissues (muscles, ligaments) are deeply worked through, which is impossible with other types of massage, blood, lymph and intercellular fluid circulation is accelerated. The intensified gradient activates those vessels that have previously poorly distilled blood. The pressure difference stimulates nerve endings, making the body's defences work.

Methods of application: dynamic and static

Two methods of massage are used during the session:
Dynamic: the jars are constantly moved from one point of action to another. The movements on the body resemble gliding. The movements are smooth, without jerks, which prevents vascular injuries. To improve gliding, oil and special products are applied to the body.
Static: the cans are on each treated area for some time. Only after this time the nozzles are moved to another place.

How the procedure is carried out

At the appointment, the clinic specialist counsels the patient and draws up a massage plan according to the patient's complaints and the desired effect. The number and duration of procedures and the areas of the body to be worked on (back, abdomen, arms, legs, whole body) are determined.

Apparatus massage does not require any special preparation.

Vacuum massage is carried out lying down. Before the procedure, the body is prepared by manual massage. He works out and warms up the place of exposure. Then the jars of the apparatus are installed and vacuum massage is carried out by dynamic and static method. Next, the therapy is carried out in a static way - the jars are placed on different areas of the skin for complete treatment. At the next stage the treatment is carried out by pulsation method. The pulsation mode gives an opportunity to work deeply on problem areas, at the same time it is easier to tolerate pressure. The essence of this method is that the pressure in the jar placed on the body changes in a certain rhythm.

As a rule, the procedure starts with a milder impact, and as the patient gets used to it, the duration of treatment can be increased.

The duration of the procedure depends on the purpose of the massage and the area of the body to be worked on.

At the end of the treatment, a light, relaxing body massage is performed.

How quickly does vacuum gradient therapy have an effect?

Changes in the body can be noticed after the first session, and with each session the effect will increase. After completing the massage course, the full result will last for a long time.

Extravasations: spots and dots after the treatment

After the massage, at the place where the jars are placed, the skin first turns red, and then there are spots - extravasates. They look like bruises, haematomas, but differ from them in their origin. Haematomas are formed as a result of the accumulation of blood from destroyed vessels. Extravasations appear when the integrity of the vessels is preserved. Blood penetrates through the walls of the vessels, which simply become more permeable.

The appearance of extravasates indicates stimulation of blood and immune cells. In this way there is a mobilisation of the body's internal resources.

By the appearance of extravasates can be judged about the state of the body. The darker their colour, the stronger the blood stasis in the problem area. Dark purple spots with a purple tinge and swelling edges indicate a strong stasis. Red extravasations with small dots of haemorrhages speak of superficial changes in the skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue. The muscles are also superficially affected.

By the changes in the extravasations it is possible to observe the improvement of the body during the course of the massage. With each treatment the spots become lighter. Towards the end they disappear completely.

Also, if itching appeared on the place where the jar stood, it is caused by an excessive amount of toxic metabolites (intermediate products of metabolism) accumulating in the body due to disorders of metabolic processes and disorders of excretory pathways, which also begin to be eliminated from the body faster and easier.

Anti-cellulite effect of vacuum massage

Vacuum body massage smooths the surface of the skin and removes subcutaneous deposits, so it gets rid of cellulite. After the removal of flabby and fat cells, the process of natural renewal of soft tissues and skin cells is started. As a result, the appearance of the skin improves, its tone and elasticity increases.

Massage for weight loss and reduction of swelling

Apparatus massage destroys subcutaneous fat deposits. At the same time, the vacuum triggers the natural breakdown of fat cells. This accelerates the breakdown and excretion of fat from the body.

To consolidate the result, it is recommended to carry out vacuum massage on the entire surface of the body, not only in places of deposits or swelling. Such disorders with the general metabolism, so it is necessary to activate processes in all points.

Vacuum improves the outflow of lymph, so the swelling goes away.

Massage is also performed to remove stretch marks after liposuction and weight loss.

• acute infectious diseases with high fever;

In compliance with the indications and contraindications after massage complications do not arise. The recovery period may take some time. Following the recommendations of the specialist will shorten the recovery period and consolidate the result of the massage.
