Vacuum therapy is a non-invasive treatment to combat any stage of cellulite. It uses suction devices that drain the adipose tissue and move the fat toward the lymphatic system. Vacuum therapy also helps to eliminate fat; it has an exfoliating effect, provides elasticity to the skin, and relaxes the muscles.
Why is it performed?
Vacuum therapy is used to extract the adipocytes that form the adipose tissue. It eliminates orange-peel skin, boosts blood circulation, and improves blood flow in the layers of the hypodermis, dermis, and epidermis.
What does it involve?
This technique consists of massaging the area (in an outward direction) using suction, which helps drain the fluid retained in the cells. This is done with a small device formed of a sterile, transparent cup used to suction the adipose tissue. The cup is placed on the cellulite area and programmed to suction gently. The treatment is sometimes combined with radio frequency and LED light energy to achieve better results since these techniques improve the appearance of the skin and give it more excellent elasticity.
Completing the treatment and eliminating the cellulite, it can take between 5 and 10 sessions, depending on the degree and amount of cellulite. Results will be noticeable even after one session if the treatment is followed correctly and accompanied by a healthy, balanced diet and exercise. Once the treatment is completed, it is recommended to have one session a month to maintain the results.
How to prepare for it
No special preparation is necessary for vacuum therapy, but you should drink lots of liquids and follow a healthy lifestyle.
Post-treatment care
Drinking plenty of water during and after vacuum therapy would help eliminate the adiposities released from the urine. You should also avoid fatty and sugary foods and excess flour and salt, which can slow the elimination process.
