Cost of LPG massage

In 1986, engineer Louis-Paul Guitet invented and patented a device for vacuum massage. The prerequisite for this was a car accident, after which Louis-Paul needed long-term rehabilitation with numerous sessions of manual massage. Observing the work of massage therapists, the engineer thought about creating a special device that would become a more effective replacement manual labor in the field of massage. And such a device was invented! It was called LPG - an abbreviation of the name of the creator. Subsequently, Louis-Paul Guite founded the LPG System company and patented a technology called LPG massage.

What is the procedure aimed at (what does it treat)

LPG is able to cope with such figure problems as:

1. Cellulite of the second and third degree
2. A layer of fat in problem areas that is difficult to respond to diets and sports. Most often these are fat deposits in the hips, buttocks, and waist.
3. Flabbiness of the skin - common consequence fast weight loss.
4. Edema. LPG massage perfectly removes excess fluid from the body
5. Stretch marks and scars.
6. Flaccid muscles, lack of tone. Due to the neurosensory effect, LPG massage not only tightens the figure, but also promotes the formation of correct posture. It also normalizes coordination of movements.

LPG massage is used not only to eliminate figure imperfections, but also to tighten and reduce the fat layer of the face, décolleté, and tone the neck muscles.

The LPG device is in demand not only in cosmetology, but also in medicine for carrying out recovery procedures after various muscle and ligament injuries, as well as skin burns. Varicose veins, radiculitis, myositis are also included in the list of diseases for the treatment of which such massage procedures are recommended.

How is the LPG massage procedure performed?

To prescribe an effective course of LPG massage to a patient, a thorough diagnosis is necessary. This stage includes several steps:

1. Determining your body type based on the predominant locations of fat deposits
2. Selecting zones for more thorough study
3. Identifying Key Impact Points

For this, the patient dresses in a special suit made of white nylon fabric. The suit protects the skin from accidental pinching and excessive pressure.

The patient is asked to lie on a special high table. The doctor examines the intensity of contraction of muscle fibers in different parts of the body; for this, the patient needs to tense the muscles of the arms/legs/buttocks/abdomen. The size and location of fat lumps are determined, and problem areas are highlighted.

Next comes the selection of rollers for the device’s handle. The manipule is a small chamber that creates a vacuum, due to which the skin fold is pulled between the rollers. The rollers knead the skin and fatty tissue underneath in different directions and with different intensities.

Using different rollers, different massage effects are achieved. There are three types in total:

1. "Roll In" A roller effective for maximum reduction of adipose tissue.
2. "Roll Up" This is a body contouring roller that is also used to smooth out cellulite.
3. "Roll Out" Helps improve skin tone and restore elasticity. Good against the fight against stretch marks and scars.

In addition to different rollers, the LPG device allows you to use different movements of the handles. It could be:

• Twisting movement. Used to combat old cellulite;
• Rocking. It has an excellent effect even on dense fat layers;
• Smoothing. Polishes the skin, increases elasticity, reduces scars.

After determining the actual method of influencing problem areas, the actual massage session begins. A program designed specifically for you is entered into the device’s computer.

The massage therapist intensively works on selected areas with the machine's manipulator. At first, the effect may be unpleasant - after all, this is an intense massage aimed at reducing fat deposits. But do not endure if the pain is too strong, especially if this is your first session. You should get used to the load gradually, so be sure to tell the massage therapist about the pain - and he will change the selected mode to a more gentle one

What real effect does LPG massage give?

Using a vacuum, a fold of skin and subcutaneous fat is sucked between the rollers, which knead it. The result of this manipulation is an intense rush of blood to the fold, and also ensures the outflow of lymph. Lymph helps remove products of fat cell destruction, as well as toxins, from the body.

The destruction of fat cells - adipocides - has a beneficial effect on neighboring tissues - connective fibers and the skin itself. The production of collagen and elastane increases in the dermis, and it is thanks to them that the skin can be regularly renewed and has a toned and youthful appearance. The following effects are achieved through LPG massage:

• Reducing body volume
• The elasticity of the skin increases, it becomes taut and elastic
• Excess fluid is removed due to the lymphatic drainage effect of massage
• Cellulite disappears or becomes less pronounced

The effect of LPG massage lasts for a long time, because the massage mechanism itself affects the underlying physiological causes of skin and subcutaneous fat problems.

Proven positive effect this method was noted by the US FDA ( Food and Drug Administration), thanks to which the LPG procedure has all medical certificates.

LPG facial massage

At the first stage of the course, about 8-10 procedures are performed per month, twice a week. Then another 6-7 procedures with the same frequency, after which the number of procedures is reduced. At the third stage, massage is performed only once every two weeks. The final stage is maintenance procedures (1-2 times a month).

LPG body massage

At the first stage of the course, 6 to 8 procedures are carried out per month with a frequency of 1-2 times a week. Then another 4-6 procedures within a week, after which the number of procedures is reduced to 2 within 2-3 weeks. At the final stage, the massage is carried out only once a month.

The result, which lasts for about a year, can be observed after 6-7 procedures.

Advantages and disadvantages

LPG massage has many advantages, otherwise it would not rank first in popularity among hardware procedures:

• absence of pain (after getting used to the procedure). In the first minutes of the session it may be a little painful, as during cupping massage. But over time, the massage becomes pleasant;
• lack of rehabilitation period. After the massage session, you can calmly go about your business;
• an instant surge of strength is another effect of such a massage;
• versatility. The procedure can solve many problems: from extra pounds to toning the skin;
• Suitable for overweight people, those recovering from pregnancy, as well as for people after surgery, such as liposuction.

But LPG also has disadvantages. These include:

• Long wait for effect. You won't be able to lose weight quickly in one session of LPG massage. The course includes from 10 to 25 sessions, which should be carried out 2-3 times a week.
• It is necessary to maintain the result. If you don’t control your diet and neglect physical activity, in just six months you will need a repeat course.
• You can get to an unqualified specialist. If he sets the wrong vacuum-aspiration mode, then there will either be no effect at all, or large and painful hematomas will remain.

What is the difference between LPG and vacuum roller massage

The LPG procedure is a vacuum roller massage, but not every vacuum roller massage is LPG. Only the developers themselves can improve the device and improve the massage technology, since they are the ones who know all the subtleties of the effect. of this device. But as you know, the market is always flooded with analogues of popular things, including devices for cosmetic procedures.

Many clinics and salons use the term “LPG massage” in advertising, but perform the vacuum roller massage procedure on replica devices. This LPG procedure is carried out only on LPG Systems equipment. Externally, the analogues, of course, are similar to the original LPG device; they also have a monitor, handpieces and rollers, but the effect of such a massage will be much lower. Therefore, it is important to check the equipment on which you are going to undergo a massage course, and also find out whether the selected clinic has all the necessary certificates.

How much does LPG massage cost in medical centers?

LPG massage is not the best cheap procedure, its cost varies from 1000 to 1600 rubles per session. However, when purchasing a subscription for a whole course of procedures, many clinics offer discounts, then one session can cost you 700 - 900 rubles.
Do not forget that this type of massage requires a special suit. Its cost is approximately equal to the cost of one procedure - from 800 to 1500 rubles.

Contraindications and consequences

Contraindications to LPG are the same as for regular manual massage:

• neoplasms on the massaged area: moles, warts, hemangiomas,

• malignant tumors,
• pregnancy,
• first days of menstruation,

• Mild swelling after the first procedures. Associated with intense outflow of lymph into the intercellular space.
• Chills. A common side effect in people with vegetative-vascular dystonia. A cup of hot tea will help get rid of this symptom.

Hardware LPG massage is a long-proven method of giving healthy skin appearance, getting rid of visual defects through the action of a special mechanism. Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure, its effectiveness and safety for health.

What is LPG massage

The principle of the device for LPG massage was invented more than forty years ago - engineer Louis Paul Guitet (the first letters make up the abbreviation LPG) came up with a mechanism whose principle is based on rotating rollers, as well as a massaging vacuum at the same time. During such a massage, the skin is absorbed and, accordingly, the cells of the skin and subcutaneous layers are massaged and stimulated.

This technique is widely used all over the world: in sports, aesthetic medicine and other types of therapy.

Over the course of several decades, the invention was actively distributed and popularized, after which it became recognized throughout the world. Thanks to the many different attachments for the device, it is possible to work on any skin type and eliminate many body imperfections. Today, the modernized and improved device is actively used for massage with the aim of effectively affecting the skin and subcutaneous layer. LPG massage is designed to visually change and give an aesthetic shape to the skin:

• Elimination of “fresh” and old cellulite;
• Body contour correction;
• Adding firmness and elasticity to dull skin;
• Burning the subcutaneous fat layer;
• Improved blood flow;
• Helps in removing excess fluid and toxins from the body;
• Getting rid of edema;
• Skin tightening and wrinkle elimination;
• Giving a healthy tone and shine to the skin;
• Active tissue renewal, cell regeneration;
• Ensuring skin “breathing”;
• Getting rid of excess weight;
• Alleviating discomfort from sports injuries, relieving muscle pain;
• Treatment of cosmetic, burn and surgical scars.

What do doctors think about this method of influencing the body?

Specialists and doctors have a positive attitude towards LPG massage, as they note its effectiveness, safety and painlessness. During the preliminary consultation, the doctor recommends which areas need to be emphasized and which areas should be given more attention.

The results of LPG sessions usually exceed all expectations, because patients not only get rid of cellulite and excess weight, but also get 20-30% more toned skin

The next factor that experts highlight is the possibility of not performing a massage in combination with similar procedures in order to achieve greater results. One LPG massage is enough (of similar procedures) to affect changes in the relief and general condition of the skin and subcutaneous layers.

But still, experts pay attention to the contraindications of the procedure, since if you abuse and violate the rules of the session, you can not only not correct body defects, but also harm your health.

Technique

Before attending an LPG massage session, you should consult a doctor and undergo diagnostics. The specialist determines the skin condition and an individual course of procedures. The examination includes:

• Weighing the patient;
• Measuring body volumes;
• Finding problem areas and focusing attention on them;
• Determination of areas that cannot be treated with the device due to contraindications;
• Photographing the patient for clarity in a standing position.

In conclusion, the doctor allows or does not allow the session. If the specialist’s answer is positive, you can begin the procedure as soon as possible.

1. Preparation. At least 3 hours before the massage you need to prepare: refuse to eat and drink about half a liter of water. Before starting the procedure, the patient puts on a special suit to make the session more effective.
2. Identification of problem areas. Based on the doctor’s opinion, as well as his own observations, the specialist marks the areas of the body necessary for treatment and selects the appropriate attachment and mode of the device.
3. Massage. Marked problem areas can be treated with a special device. The patient feels only small waves throughout the body, painless at normal intensity. If discomfort occurs, the doctor adjusts the regimen. The specialist uses four main movements: “twisting” (against cellulite), “swinging” (against fat deposits), “sliding” (to model the body contour), “grinding” (for elasticity and firmness of the skin). During the procedure, the patient is allowed and even recommended to tense the muscles of the body and move to achieve greater results. One session lasts about 35–40 minutes.
4. After the session. At the end of the procedure, the patient can begin his daily activities, since there is no rehabilitation period and there are no strict restrictions, but it is better to refuse food and drink plenty of water for the next 3 hours. To achieve a greater effect in the future, you should treat your skin with anti-cellulite creams, balance your diet and exercise.

Frequency, duration and cost of the course

You can repeat the LPG massage procedure no more than twice a week. To obtain a noticeable result, as a rule, 15 to 25 repetitions of the procedure are necessary, and during the course the number of sessions is reduced, limiting it to once a month.

The cost of one session varies between 1500–2000 rubles. You should not seek services from clinics that offer lower costs, as there is a risk of poor quality and lack of safety of the procedure.

Massage using an LPG device: technology and scope of application

The main problem solved by this type of massage is cellulite. It is manifested by changes in adipose tissue in the form of various compactions and “orange peel”. Obstruction of blood vessels disrupts the normal nutrition of tissues and complicates the release of toxins, fluids, and fats.

The main feature of LPG massage is the drainage effect: by breaking down the fatty membrane of the cell, anti-cellulite massage provides an influx of oxygen and nutrients, as well as the release of waste waste and poisons. As a result, the volume of fat decreases and the elasticity of the skin increases.

After completing a course of procedures, you can solve problems such as:

• Cellulite.
• Fat deposits of any location.
• Flabby, sagging skin.
• Swelling.
• Condition after liposuction.
• Figure correction.

LPG massage: contraindications and side effects

Contraindications

Like any massage, endermology has its contraindications:

• New growths and wounds on the skin that can be damaged mechanically: moles, wen, vascular tumors, injuries, cuts. Massage is not performed in these areas, especially on the face.
• Infectious skin diseases can worsen with increased blood flow during massage, as the possibility of transferring germs and infecting undamaged areas increases. The limitation is also local.
• Hernia of any kind - with an increase in muscle tone, inevitable with LPG massage, the likelihood of strangulation increases. Local contraindication.
• Inflammation of the lymph nodes, bone marrow (osteomyelitis), abscesses and other infections can intensify due to the spread of pathogenic microbes with increased blood and lymph flow. Local contraindication. After recovery, LPG massage is recommended to improve immunity.
• Varicose veins and thrombophlebitis are characterized by inflammation of blood vessels and disruption of the functioning of venous valves. Increasing the load during massage intensifies the symptoms and can provoke a blood clot. These areas are not exposed to massage equipment.
• Six months after liposuction is only available special type delicate LPG massage, since the skin is torn off after the procedure and the subcutaneous tissue is damaged. A week after liposuction surgery, you can undergo a restorative course of LPG massage: swelling, hemorrhages, pain disappear, and the skin tightens.
• Oncological diseases - increased blood circulation during massage promotes the proliferation of cells, including malignant ones.
• Myoma, endometriosis and other benign neoplasms - massage is not recommended for the same reasons.
• Pregnancy. LPG massage helps fight edema, but this is only a separate type of it, “venous insufficiency” - a specially designed course for pregnant women.
• Critical days. Massage triples blood circulation and, accordingly, secretions.
• Infectious diseases accompanied by increased body temperature: with increased blood flow during massage, the load on the cardiovascular system increases.
• Blood diseases associated with bleeding disorders, constant use of appropriate medications. After a massage, the blood supply to the skin increases 5 times, which can provoke hematomas.
• Epilepsy - hardware vibrovacuum massage can cause an attack of the disease, accompanied by a tendency to convulsions.
• Liver, kidney, heart failure, provided that the organs have exhausted their adaptive capabilities. The load during massage is comparable to physical intensity, which is unacceptable in such cases.
• Diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases and other endocrine diseases. During an exacerbation, the body may not be able to cope with the additional load, but in the remission stage it can be recommended, since massage strengthens the immune system and nourishes the tissues.

Side effects

LPG massage has the same side effects the same as regular lymphatic drainage massage.

• Swelling
  Mild swelling after the first procedures. It is observed in case of impaired function of the lymphatic vessels. Over the course of the course, this function is restored, and the swelling disappears.
• Chills
  Slight chills after the session in persons suffering from vegetative-vascular dystonia. To warm up, just drink a cup of hot tea.
• Hematomas and bruises
  The appearance of small hematomas and intradermal bruises can be observed in people with increased capillary fragility. Hematomas do not require treatment; they go away on their own within a few days. However, you need to tell your doctor about them. This way, he will be able to adjust the degree of impact of the massager on a sensitive area and, if necessary, send the patient for examination to rule out the presence of diseases that provoke bleeding disorders.

This list does not pretend to be completely complete; during a consultation before a massage, you should discuss all your diseases (including rare ones) with your doctor, and then the massage will bring you only health and beauty.
