Vacuum massage is not only a popular method for reducing cellulite but also a way to improve circulation and firm the skin. There are several types – some require a special suit, while others are performed directly on the skin. Check the differences and when you need to prepare the right attire.

 

What types of vacuum massage are there?

Vacuum massage can be divided into several main types:

 

    • Chinese cupping – involves moving a rubber suction cup over the skin. Performed with oil.
    • Endermologie – a professional treatment using a special device with a massaging head.
    • Vacuum lymphatic drainage – used for circulation problems and water retention.
    • Anti-cellulite vacuum massage – combines mechanical massage techniques with negative pressure.

 

For which type of vacuum massage is a suit required?

You don’t always need to worry about clothing, but for some treatments, a bodysuit is essential.

 

    • Endermologie – requires a special bodysuit that protects the skin and improves the treatment’s effectiveness.
    • Some forms of lymphatic drainage – depending on the technique, a thin, elastic suit may be necessary.
    • Chinese cupping and manual massages – performed directly on the skin, so no suit is needed.

 

Can vacuum massage be performed at home?

Yes, it can be done at home, but its effectiveness depends on the method and tools used. Home methods like Chinese cupping can bring visible results in circulation and skin smoothing, but professional machines in clinics are more powerful and precise.
