Contraindications, disadvantages
Making a decision to carry out a hardware vacuum facial massage, which is done in a salon, requires financial investment. This is an expensive cosmetic procedure. To carry it out at home, you will need to buy a device, the cost of which is unlikely to please you.
Why you shouldn’t do it, main contraindications:
- There are lesions on the skin: acne, wounds, purulent formations.
- The face is highly sensitive; after the vacuum, bruises are visible on the skin.
- There are medical contraindications associated with disruption of the body.
The procedure is not performed when there are metabolic disorders, the vessels are weak, and often burst. If you have diseases of the heart or blood vessels, you should consult a doctor before starting manipulations.
Possible consequences:
- after placing the can, a bruise or hematoma appears on the skin;
- complexion changes with frequent use;
- the skin in the affected area becomes rough and rough.
If you break the rules and don’t moisturize your skin, the result will be the opposite. When a woman does not use cosmetics, it is better to refuse a massage.
“Excessive exposure, incorrect placement will certainly ruin the appearance.”
How to do vacuum facial massage effectively: 6 useful tips
- Buy natural oils (for example, cocoa, shea, jojoba) at the pharmacy. In one session you will “kill 2 birds with one stone”: you will perform both lifting and saturate the skin with the vitamins and microelements it needs.
- Massage your face gradually: from a single treatment to multiple repetitions. Pay special attention to areas with noticeable problems.
- Maintaining hygiene is important during any procedure! The massager attachments should be washed with soapy water. And remember, all devices are for purely personal use!
- After the procedure, ensure yourself peace! Avoid cold weather if you don't want to experience dry skin. In the summer, the procedure is not conducive to intense heat.
- Do not disturb the movement along the massage lines, do not experiment with the massager. Everything is good in moderation! And no one will be happy about a skin problem if you overdo it.
- Is it difficult for you to choose attachments and force of influence? Remember one thing: it is better to choose the smaller option. Overdoing it is dangerous.

Preliminary preparation
When a woman visits a salon, the cosmetologist carries out the manipulations independently. Facial massage with cups at home requires knowledge of anatomy and adherence to rules that will help achieve results faster.
Getting ready for the impact:
- Cleanse your skin with a suitable product. Micellar water, toner, lotion, without alcohol, will do. It is better to wash your face, wipe your face with a towel, and use a cosmetic product.
- Apply moisturizing cream with light massage movements, rub in, wait until completely absorbed.
When a woman plans to apply vacuum cups for her face on her own, without resorting to the help of a cosmetologist, it is worth studying the affected areas.
Massage areas are facial lines, the stimulation of which helps improve blood flow in the dermis and inner layers of the skin.
If you place the jars on other zones, the woman will not be happy with the result. Hematomas will appear, will take a long time to resolve, the appearance will be ruined, the woman’s self-esteem will drop, and a feeling of insecurity will arise.
Dense formations from vacuum cans will be visible to the naked eye and will have to be removed with the help of medications. Procedures will have to be postponed during treatment.
Which banks to choose
The pharmacy sells several types of jars; you just have to decide which ones are best to choose.
Rubber ones are the cheapest. The depth of impact on the treated area depends on the pressure applied with your fingers. They are inconvenient because they get dirty quickly and the odors of oils linger for a long time, which are difficult to “kill” with anything. There is a danger of dangerous bacteria appearing.
Silicone ones are good because they seem to “float” on the skin, maintaining a vacuum inside. But they have a drawback - they do not hold their shape for long. Plastic with a silicone nozzle are comfortable and practical, can be used for static massage.
You can buy glass ones with a rubber or silicone nozzle. They are extremely convenient to “work”.
For manipulation you will need devices of different sizes:
- 1 cm in diameter are used for the skin around the eyes and nasolabial folds.
- Medium jars, 2-3 cm in diameter, are necessary for treating muscles, deep layers of skin, as well as for working on the forehead and cheeks.
- Large jars will be needed for the décolleté area.
On your own
You can put cosmetic jars for your face at home without visiting beauty salons. The procedure is not very complicated; any woman can master the rules.
You will have to do the following:
- cleanse your face with a suitable product;
- apply oil - a prerequisite, protection;
- start performing manipulations.
The duration of the procedure is 15 minutes. Preference is given to containers whose diameter does not exceed one centimeter.
Do not heat the jars, treat them with fire, or stabilize them - this can cause burns.
The following can be used as a moisturizer or emollient:
- Olive oil, avocado, jojoba – a natural remedy will not cause allergies and will help increase the effectiveness of the procedure.
- If you don't have oil on hand, use a cream that has a moisturizing effect. Apply the product onto the skin, do not wait for complete absorption.
Progress, description of the process:
- after applying the cream, oil, take a container, it is advisable to rinse it with warm water, dry it before using it;
- Apply a few drops of warm oil to the edges of the jar, then squeeze to form a vacuum, bring it to your face;
- after a few minutes you can remove the jars; the impact will be enough to achieve the result.
If the procedure causes pain, discomfort, or is accompanied by discomfort, you should stop. It is better to remove the banks. Pain appears, which means the impact is strong. Then bruises and hematomas will appear, which is considered unacceptable.
Oil and cream will help soften the skin and reduce the likelihood of injury.
Cupping massage at home: benefit or harm
It is clear that Russian women, in the current conditions of falling per capita income, are switching to the principle “Help yourself!”
, trying to replicate professional beauty salon services at home. But there is a measure for everything.
Every day I read stories on social networks, in professional groups, about how more and more Kulibins dyed their hair at home, or also rejuvenated, peeled, and passionately massaged something at home with their own hands. Invariably, these posts are accompanied by a cry from the heart addressed to professionals: “Help! What can you do about it now??”
And the answer also invariably follows:
“Consult a professional
. Because how can you explain to a person in a nutshell what, for example, they teach you for 6 years at the institute?
If everything was as simple as housewives teach on YouTube, then everyone would be walking around beautiful, young and fit. They wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year around the world in beauty and cosmetology clinics. And cosmetology itself, as a science, would cease to develop in principle, to invest in research, development of innovative techniques and means.

Common Mistakes
A woman will harm her health if she neglects the rules:
- Frequency sensitivity, incorrect zone distribution. You should not place jars under your eyes, in places where moles or papillomas grow.
- The lip area, the nasolabial triangle is an area with which you should be careful. The skin in the area is sensitive, bruises and hematomas may appear.
- Where there are tumors or benign formations, manipulations are not performed. Since blood flow is increased, the procedure may lead to an increase in formation. You shouldn't do it for objective reasons.
- Use large containers - the degree of exposure is high, the risk of injury is higher.
- “Containers” cannot be treated with alcohol solutions, boiled, or burned - you will damage the jars, they will become deformed and lose their seal.
Vacuum is good for all skin types, if the skin is dry or oily, it can be done without restrictions.
One of the mistakes is overexposure. For the sake of beauty, a woman is ready to endure pain, but vacuum facial massage does not require this. When a woman is in pain, the procedure should be stopped immediately.
Neck and décolleté massage
The neck is the first to reveal a woman’s age, so she requires mandatory care, in particular, vacuum massage. Massage technique for the neck and décolleté:
- Visually divide these zones into 2 parts.
- Grease with oil.
- To work on the neckline, take a jar 3 cm in diameter. Place it in the middle of the zone, attach it and move it from the middle to the side. Make 3-4 movements.
- Rearrange the jar and repeat the movement.
- When working on the neck, do not touch the thyroid gland. Take a medium-sized jar, press the rubber cap, place it near your ear, and move it down 3-4 times.
- Move the jar to a nearby area and start moving from top to bottom again.
For the first time, one minute is enough, then you will increase the exposure time, bringing it to 5 or even 10 minutes.
Sensory Features
If you use vacuum cups on your face, you run the risk of experiencing the following sensations:
- a slight burning sensation and pressure on the affected area are felt;
- After removal, there is a feeling of blood flow and a pronounced burning sensation on the face.
The sensations soon go away on their own; when the burning sensation bothers you longer, a consultation with a cosmetologist is required.
The phenomenon can be associated with excessive exposure, then bruises, hematomas, and seals appear.
The cold will help avoid the consequences. After completing the massage, wipe your face with a piece of ice. When the skin is red, apply a cold compress.
Seals can be removed with Heparin ointment. Apply the product to the damaged areas, leave until absorbed.
Operating principle
Vacuum massagers work using vacuum. Thanks to the pump and air compressor, the pressure inside the flask nozzle used to treat the skin either increases or decreases. It either sticks to the problem area or detaches from it (dynamic and static effects). This enhances local metabolism and blood flow, facilitates the supply of oxygen to cells, due to which it gives a rejuvenating and healing effect. In addition, vacuum massage leads to the following positive effects:
- Training of facial and masticatory muscles (stretching and relaxation).
- Accelerate cellular recovery.
- Improving lymph outflow, reducing stagnant fluid leading to swelling.
- Breakdown of fat deposits.
- Activation of fibroblasts, accelerated production of collagen and elastane fibers.
- Optimizing the functioning of the sweat and sebaceous glands.
- Increasing the protective properties of the skin.
