Cellulite massager: which one to choose? Video
A special massage can help get rid of many visible problems caused by cellulite; it is performed in beauty salons and medical centers. Anti-cellulite massage works well in the treatment of fibrous accumulations, but during the rest periods between massage courses, women are advised to use supportive therapy with an anti-cellulite massager.
Cellulite massager: choice
A household anti-cellulite massager cannot cope with the task of a full-fledged cellulite treatment, it is designed to maintain and strengthen the results achieved through active therapy (cavitation, myostimulation, manual anti-cellulite massage).
The choice of massagers is great, but in appearance they are divided into:
- tame
- power
Manual massagers should be chosen for those who have minor manifestations of fibrosis and cellulite, whose skin is sensitive, and the capillaries are weak. The fact is that with the help of a manual massager it is easier to control the level of pressure on the problem area, which means that when hematomas appear, you can correct the massage and the technique of its implementation.
Massage is contraindicated for those who have problems with the skin, blood clotting, or have recently had an acute respiratory viral infection
When purchasing a manual massager, give preference to a product with a long handle, as it will allow you to easily reach hard-to-reach places. The principle of operation of the manual massager is simple: when using it, the vessels significantly expand, and, consequently, the resorption of fat is improved. For mechanical (they also say – aggressive) impact, manual massagers with thick wooden spikes are purchased, which break up fat accumulations. However, judging by women’s reviews, few people can withstand a full-fledged procedure for such a massage: it hurts!
For deep fat deposits, it is recommended to use electric massagers, as they are considered to be more effective and more comfortable than manual massagers. In addition, a manual massager will not allow you to treat a large affected area (your hands will simply get tired), while an electric one does not require significant efforts.
When choosing an electric massager, pay attention to its power and frequency of revolutions: the higher the frequency, the better the massage. The simplest model has two attachments in the kit: “boulder” – large spherical protrusions, and “acceleration” – small and frequent protrusions, sometimes in the form of fibers.
The first one serves to work on fat accumulations: dense “boulders” literally break up the fat. Manipulations with this attachment are usually very painful. “Overclocking” is used first – this nozzle just serves to relieve pain, soft balls or silicone fibers irritate the skin, causing it to lose sensitivity.
It is good if the massager you have chosen will also have a third nozzle with moving balls, which, when pressed, seem to hide deep into the silicone base. This is a nozzle for completing a massage, it was invented by a beautician from France in order to prepare the body of the patient who was massage for pressotherapy. These balls disperse the fat released by the massage and consolidate the massage result.
Some cosmetologists even recommend using a ball nozzle for the prevention of cellulite and congestion with a sedentary lifestyle.
Semi-professional massagers
For a deeper effect on cellulite, you can consider an anti-cellulite vacuum massager, which is an apparatus with silicone cups that stick to problem areas. On the device, a program for injecting and releasing air into the jars is set. The vacuum works not with superficial deposits, but with deep layers, activating cell metabolism and locally increasing blood flow. The effect on cellulite with a vacuum massager is deep and effective. But nevertheless, it is desirable to use it in combination with other methods of fighting for a beautiful body.
