Vacuum massage, or endermologie, is a massage that affects the connective tissue of the skin. Thanks to it, we can get rid of cellulite, model the silhouette, and improve the contour of the face. Massage combined with negative pressure activates the metabolism of fat tissue resistant to diet and exercise, and stimulates the production of collagen fibers.
Properties and purpose of vacuum massage.
Endermologie is performed with high pressure, which affects the dermal and subcutaneous connective tissue, which translates into action:
- Rejuvenating,
- Slimming,
- Purifying,
- Therapeutic – reduces various types of pain.
The most spectacular results are achieved by those who opt for endermologie for cellulite elimination, slimming and body shaping. By stimulating the metabolism, the body eliminates toxins and fat from the body faster. ICOONE is a treatment that stimulates the biological renewal of the skin, so it is also recommended for people who want to improve the contour of the face and improve skin elasticity. The Pressure Massage is also used to treat muscle pain, back pain or rheumatic ailments.
The course of the massage treatment with negative pressure
At the beginning, the patient has to put on a special suit that adheres to the body, so that the machine does not come into direct contact with the skin. The massage is performed using a computer-controlled head, which consists of two moving, independently operating rollers and a suction chamber. ICOONE vacuum massage During the treatment, a fold of skin is pulled between the rollers under pressure, which takes the shape of a wave. Then the skin is rolled from the inside and out – in this way the treatment affects the deep layers of the skin, and the tissue is stimulated to regenerate. The intensity of the massage depends on the body part. The entire treatment takes about 30 – 45 minutes. Usually cycles of 10 – 15 treatments are used, up to three once a week. ** You should not perform a vacuum massage every day, at least one day break is necessary so that the body has time to excrete toxins and excess water.** It is recommended to drink about ½ liter of water before the massage, and one glass after the treatment. During the endermologie cycle, you should take special care to ensure adequate water intake (about 2 liters per day). On the massaged skin there should be no varicose veins, allergic reactions, hemangiomas, piercings, scars, implants used in plastic surgery. It is a good idea to consult with your treating physician and the person performing the massage to make sure before the procedure that it will be safe.
Advantages of vacuum massage
The treatment has an intensive effect on the dermal and subcutaneous connective tissue, which consists mainly of cells called fibroblasts. These cells produce collagen and elastin – proteins that are responsible for the skin's elasticity and resilience. During the procedure, the skin is "stretched" between the rollers, which stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen fibers and results in skin rejuvenation. For this reason, endermologie is used to massage the face, neck and décolleté, thus achieving firming and improving skin elasticity, smoothing fine wrinkles and softer contours of the face, eyes and lips. During the procedure, the skin is firmly kneaded, which also stimulates metabolism. As a result, fat burning is accelerated, resulting in the reduction of fatty cellulite, slimming and body contouring, improving skin elasticity and reducing swelling. This treatment is also recommended to improve circulation and regenerate the body after liposuction. The intensive massage also stimulates vascularization, improves blood and lymph circulation, thus draining excess fluids, enhancing intercellular exchange and removing toxins from the body. During a vacuum massage, endorphins, the so-called happiness hormones, are released in the body, which soothe pain and cause a feeling of relaxation, contentment. Therefore, this treatment is also performed to remove muscle pain, eliminate neck pain, back pain, elbow joint pain, knee pain, foot pain, hand pain, or eliminate swelling.
Effects
The vacuum treatment dilates blood vessels, stimulates metabolism and blood and lymph circulation in the massaged tissues. This produces a lymphatic drainage effect and stimulates collagen production in the skin. This means that vacuum massage not only has a toxin-cleansing and smoothing effect, but also a rejuvenating effect. It is particularly effective on unsightly "orange peel," or cellulite. It also improves blood circulation and helps get rid of watery swelling. However, it is important to remember that a vacuum massage alone will not shed off the extra pounds. It can, however, stimulate metabolism and fat burning, smooth and elasticize the skin, making the body look slimmer. To intensify its effect, you need to eat healthy, drink plenty of water and lead an active lifestyle.
Conclusion
Vacuum massage is a powerful tool for skin rejuvenation, cellulite reduction, and body contouring. By combining negative pressure with deep tissue stimulation, it boosts collagen production, improves circulation, and enhances fat metabolism. Beyond aesthetic benefits, it also provides therapeutic relief for muscle and joint pain. However, it's not a stand-alone solution—healthy habits amplify its results. If you’re looking to revitalize your body and skin, vacuum massage offers both visible improvements and lasting wellness when paired with proper care and lifestyle choices.
