Some forty-fifty years ago, women did not know such a problem as cellulite. More precisely, this phenomenon was not considered a cosmetic flaw, although, of course, it was present on the hips and buttocks of the ladies. Today, women spend a lot of time and money on combating skin irregularities. After all, cellulite is not always a companion of obesity, an orange peel on the hips can appear in quite slender beauties.
At the moment, a huge number of procedures have been invented to help restore skin smoothness. One of the most effective is a vacuum massage or massage with banks.
Probably, many have heard about this method of struggle for beautiful skin, but before applying this method in practice, you need to understand that this method is not suitable for everyone.
First of all, you need to make sure that there are no neoplasms and tumors in the body, either benign or malignant. In no case should you use massage with banks in the presence of varicose veins, thrombophlebitis and other diseases associated with the circulatory system. It is strictly forbidden to vacuum massage during exacerbations of any diseases of the cardiovascular system, with a tendency to convulsive conditions, the presence of problems with the central nervous system, as well as dermatological diseases and increased sensitivity of the skin. Massage procedures should be excluded during pregnancy and during the acute period of any infectious diseases.
If you have no contraindications to the procedure, then massage with banks can be very effective. You can conduct sessions in medical and cosmetic institutions, but when you acquire the necessary skills, vacuum massage can be successfully done at home. You can purchase special silicone jars in pharmacies.
Before proceeding with the procedure, you should take a shower, since massage with banks is carried out only on clean skin. But a hot bath is not recommended, the body should not be steamed.
Then you need to apply cream or oil to the skin area so that the jars glide better. To make the procedure more effective, it is worth using anti-cellulite compounds for these purposes, but in their absence you can use ordinary vegetable oil.
Now you need to squeeze the silicone jar a little to create an air pressure inside and put it on the skin. After you release the jar, it will be firmly attached to the skin due to the created vacuum. Now we begin to carefully move the bank to problem areas, moving in a straight line, in zigzags or making circular movements. The duration of the procedure is fifteen to twenty minutes, the massaged skin should warm up and turn red.
Attention! Massage with vacuum jars is not done in the inguinal region, in the popliteal cavity and along the inner surface of the thigh. When conducting massage in the abdomen, you need to be very careful and move the jar only in circular movements clockwise.
The effect of vacuum massage is to improve blood and lymph circulation, saturate the tissues with oxygen and destroy the subcutaneous fat. It is necessary to conduct sessions every other day, the average number of procedures is 20. Then you should take a break for a month, then you can repeat the course.
But is this procedure really so effective? It is worth listening to the opinions of women who have performed massage banks. Reviews about this procedure, it must be said, are mixed. The arguments for vacuum massage are its effectiveness, accessibility, the ability to carry out procedures on their own. But there are also negative points. Among them, the pain of the procedure and the formation of unattractive bruises in the massed areas. However, these unpleasant manifestations, as a rule, are present only at the initial stage; during further procedures, bruising, as a rule, does not form. As for pain, they are, of course, present, but the pain is not as severe as with other procedures, for example, it is much more difficult to make a honey anti-cellulite massage than a vacuum.
Well, of course, you should not consider cupping, like any other procedure, a panacea. Effectively fight cellulite is possible only if you apply an integrated approach. That is, combine massage with diet, exercise and the use of cosmetics.
