LPG massage was invented by the French cosmetologist Louis Paul Gutet in 1973. The creator of the technique had an accident and was looking for a way that would allow him to accelerate the regeneration of skin cells. So the device for LPG massage was developed, which allows you to deal with many physiological defects and injuries:
- disruption of the muscles, ligaments, joints as a result of sprains, bruises;
- postoperative, post-burn scars;
- swelling;
- vascular disease;
- relieving pain;
- recovery after physical activity.
However, in the process of using LPG massage for the body, the patients noted an improvement in the appearance of the skin, an increase in elasticity, and a decrease in body volume. Gradually, the procedure began to be used to break down subcutaneous fat deposits and remove toxins and excess fluid from the body.
Anti-cellulite massage is carried out using a vacuum roller apparatus manufactured by the French company LPG. Compared to the devices of the 1980s, modern devices have an extended range of actions and a set of functions. The original devices pass the strict control of the American system of certification of novelties in the field of medicine and cosmetology FDA.
The handle of the device is equipped with two rollers. One under the influence of negative pressure captures a fold of skin and subcutaneous fat and kneads it. Another roller smooths out the crease. The gripping force is automatically set and can be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the body and the wishes of the patient.
A special thin suit is required for the procedure. It is offered to the client in any beauty salon where LPG machines are available. The suit is needed to prevent bruising and bruising after the massage. Thanks to him, the rollers glide well over the body, hygiene requirements are observed.
If the patient does not have excess fat, and massage is used to improve well-being, 10 procedures 1-2 times a week are enough. For cellulite, up to 17 procedures are prescribed with a frequency of up to 3 times a week.
The price of LPG massage for 1 half-hour session is 350 hryvnia, or about 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles, but salons often hold promotions and discounts. Thanks to them, you can take the course cheaper by paying immediately for a set of procedures at a reduced price. Massage suit sold separately. The cost is 800-1000 rubles.
