Features of the use of vacuum cans and a massager at home. Types of cans for the face. The technique of conducting bank therapy at various sites. Vacuum massage is not the newest remedy in medicine, it has been used for a long time to treat various diseases. However, it gained its popularity in cosmetology relatively recently and has already shown its effectiveness in terms of rejuvenating and increasing the elasticity of the skin of the face.
Types of vacuum facial massage
At home, you can use rubber, silicone or glass jars for massage, or choose a special vacuum massager.
Vacuum face massage with silicone cans
Silicone massage cups are very convenient to use and are widely used both at home and in beauty salons. This is the most popular bank therapy method at the moment.
They have the following properties:
- Tightness … The shape of the can is arched, with a dense, smooth ring at the base. It glides smoothly over the surface of the skin, does not slip and reliably maintains a vacuum inside.
- Ease of use … The size of the jars is universal, it is suitable for use on different areas of the face and neck. All the necessary accessories for vacuum massage are easy to take with you on trips, since they take up very little space, do not require electricity or fire.
- Durability … Silicone cans do not break or break, they are made of environmentally friendly material.
To make a home massage using such jars, you just need to prepare your face skin, having previously smeared with massage cream or oil, lightly squeeze the silicone and fix the jar on the skin. After that, you can proceed directly to the massage movements.
Note! The harder you squeeze the balloon before placing it on your skin, the higher the vacuum will be. Adjust the vacuum on your own to avoid over-pulling the skin and taking into account its sensitivity.
Hardware vacuum facial massage
The vacuum massager is an electric device with several attachments for massaging different parts of the body and face. As a rule, it works both from the mains and from AA batteries.
Both the massager and cups are equally effective. The main advantage of purchasing a special massage apparatus is the ability to regulate the vacuum pressure.
When you use silicone cups, especially during the first procedures, excessive exposure to the skin can damage small vessels. When massaging with a vacuum apparatus, this risk is minimal, since you can adjust the intensity of the vacuum by choosing the desired mode.
Another advantage of the device over banks is its ease of use. You don’t have to put in effort to squeeze the tight edges of the can to create a vacuum. Despite the seeming simplicity, these actions require a lot of energy. You hold the massager by the comfortable handle and easily move it in the desired direction.
Advice! Good special vacuum devices are quite expensive, so if you are not sure whether this type of massage is suitable for you, it is better to get a vacuum jar first and try the procedure with its help.
Using glass vacuum jars for facial massage
Modern glass vacuum massage devices are familiar to everyone with a ring-shaped base, on top of which is attached a rubber pump. With the help of this device, air is drawn out of the can.
They are very easy to use: you simply squeeze the pump with your fingers and place it on your skin. When you unclench the pump, the skin will be drawn into the jar a few millimeters. The main advantages of glass massagers are ease of cleaning after the procedure, the absence of staining as a result of the ingress of oils on the material.
Among the disadvantages can be noted fragility, since the glass can be damaged if handled carelessly.
Note! The very procedure of massage with glass jars at home is quite painful, although effective. With increased sensitivity of the skin of the face, it is better to give preference to softer materials.
Application of rubber massagers for facial massage
Vacuum rubber massagers are the cheapest method of bank therapy. They are coarser than silicone ones, which makes it possible to increase the intensity of the procedures.
The degree of exposure to the skin is regulated by squeezing the jar with your fingers. Modern devices have a comfortable rounded pump that is easy to hold with your hand while performing massage movements.
One of the main disadvantages is the "absorption" of the smells of massage oils and creams by rubber. They cannot be completely washed, which can lead to the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
Features of vacuum massage on the face
With the wrong technique of vacuum massage at home, instead of skin rejuvenation and elasticity, you can get serious negative consequences in the form of inflammation, bruising and vascular damage. The procedure must be performed along certain lines, which should be studied before the first massage session.
How to massage with vacuum cups in the forehead area
The forehead area is quite mobile, and over time, expression lines and even deep folds appear on the skin. To prolong youth and return to its former elasticity, vacuum massage is used.
The procedure algorithm is as follows:
- Before the session, you need to cleanse your face of makeup and cosmetics. It is also recommended to wash with cold water - this will prepare the skin and blood vessels for vacuum and prevent bruising.
- Warm up the facial muscles slightly while applying the cream or oil.
- Start the procedure from the center of the forehead, place the jar in the middle and draw lines to the temples.
- Then perform vertical movements - from the eyebrows up to the hairline.
- Pay particular attention to the transverse frontal seam. Massage it in circular motions a little longer than other areas.
For the procedure, you will need two jars of different diameters - 33 mm and 22 mm. First start the course with a large jar, then repeat the same with a small one.
When you move the jar, the skin should not wrinkle or stretch. Avoid this by supporting it with your other hand. If the surface is still collecting, the vacuum pressure must be reduced.
Important! During the procedure, you should not use oils or creams with a warming effect that contain pepper or grapefruit extract. This can lead to irritation or slight burns to the skin of the face.
Correct vacuum massage in the lower and upper eyelids
Sensitive eye skin directly in the lower and upper eyelids is not massaged at all. You will only damage blood vessels and add wrinkles. Even the smallest nozzle or small jars do not have the necessary delicate effect.
To achieve rejuvenation of this area, proceed as follows:
- Liberally lubricate the eye area with a rich cream. You can also use massage gels or unrefined vegetable oils. For example, jojoba oil is excellent for these purposes.
- Place the vacuum device on the tip of the nose and draw a line up to the brow crease.
- Under the eyes, massage along the upper border of the cheeks, drawing lines from the nose to the beginning of hair growth in the temples. Use a massager with a diameter of 11 mm.
You can put one jar of the smallest diameter in the corners of the eyes for 5 seconds. It is necessary to act very carefully, with slight retraction of the skin inside the massager.
You can also pointwise affect the lower and upper eyelids. If the skin in the eye area does not differ in elasticity, before setting the massager, you should slightly stretch it with two fingers, making a kind of "spacer".
Important! You can not tear the jar from the skin, first you need to weaken the vacuum inside. To do this, squeeze it with your fingers, as when installing, and carefully detach it from your face.
Neck and chin vacuum massage technique
The lower part of the face is affected starting from the neck. After applying the cream, do the following:
- From the base of the neck on the right and left sides, draw lines to the chin. The center of the neck should not be massaged. Use jars of large or medium diameter (33-22 mm).
- Place the jar in the middle of your chin and slide along your lower jaw to your earlobe. Work under the chin and under the jaw arch. Repeat the same in the other direction.
- Massage your chin in a circle, from right to left.
- Use the 11 mm nozzle to target the nasolabial folds. Place it at the base of the nose, closer to the inner corner of the eye, and move along the crease in small circular motions.
- The space from the upper lip to the nose is massaged with a fine nozzle, while the mouth is open, the skin above the lip is stretched. Walk along the orbicularis muscle of the mouth, lingering in the area of wrinkles.
The passage of the massager through the muscles of the jaw must be free. If you feel like the muscles are not skipping the can, take your time. Try to relax your jaw, open your mouth, or smile. Strive for freedom of movement.
The first procedures should be short-lived and low-intensity. As the number of sessions increases, the load level can be increased. In general, one session takes no more than 10-15 minutes. Run the jar along each line at least 4 times.
Important! Cosmetologists advise to carry out vacuum massage on steamed skin. At the same time, the effect of the procedure increases, but the technique of execution in this case requires professional skills. It is much easier to injure steamed skin, so beginners should not follow these recommendations.

Advice! If you are tired, very tired and not in the mood for a massage, it is better to skip the session and reschedule it for another day. The procedures should be performed in a good mood and healthy state of health.
