Vacuum therapy, also known as suction therapy or vacuum massage, is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled suction to stimulate blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and tissue manipulation. This treatment is commonly used for body contouring, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction. It is also popular for non-surgical lifting procedures, such as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which enhances the shape and appearance of the buttocks without surgery.

- Suction technology: a specialised device creates a vacuum effect on the skin and underlying tissues, lifting and massaging the targeted area.

- Increased circulation: the suction stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin and muscles, which promotes healing and rejuvenation.

- Lymphatic drainage: vacuum therapy activates the lymphatic system to help remove toxins, excess fluids, and fat from the treated area.

- Cell Stimulation: the mechanical action of the suction helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and elasticity.

- Non-invasive: no needles, surgery, or downtime required.

- Cellulite reduction: breaks down fat deposits and smooths out dimpled skin.

- Skin tightening: stimulates collagen production for firmer, more elastic skin.

- Improved circulation: enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to the skin.

- Body contouring: shapes and sculpts areas like the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen.

- Relaxation: the massaging action can relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation.

- Brazilian butt lift (BBL) enhances the shape and firmness of the buttocks without implants or injections.

- Cellulite reduction targets the thighs, buttocks, and hips to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

- Breast lifting provides a subtle lift and improves the appearance of sagging breasts.

- Facial rejuvenation stimulates circulation and promotes a youthful glow while reducing puffiness and fine lines.

- Body contouring focuses on areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and back for shaping and toning.

- Areas with broken or irritated skin.

- Varicose veins, open wounds, or bruised areas.

- Extremely bony regions where suction might cause discomfort.

Vacuum therapy is suitable for individuals who:

- Are looking for non-surgical options to enhance their body shape.

- Want to reduce cellulite or improve skin elasticity.

- Prefer treatments with minimal downtime.

- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

- People with active infections, varicose veins, or blood clotting disorders.

- Individuals with open wounds, burns, or severe skin conditions in the treatment area.

- Patients with certain medical implants (consult your doctor).

- Treatment process: a suction cup is applied to the target area, moving in controlled motions to stimulate tissues.

- The session typically lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

- Sensation most people describe: the sensation as a gentle suction or massage.

- It it can be a little uncomfortable in places and mild to substantial bruising is possible.

Temporary redness or swelling: suction may cause slight redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. Mild-substantial bruising: In some cases, sensitive skin may develop temporary bruising.

Skin sensitivity: the treated area may feel tender for a short period.

- Immediate Effects: Improved circulation and a lifted appearance may be noticeable right away.

- Cumulative Results: For optimal outcomes, a series of 6-12 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 1-2 weeks apart.

Vacuum therapy is a safe, effective, and relaxing treatment for improving body contours, reducing cellulite, and lifting targeted areas. When performed by a qualified professional, it offers noticeable, non-invasive results with minimal discomfort and downtime.

1. Hydrate: drink at least 2 litres of water daily starting 1-2 days before your appointment. Proper hydration supports lymphatic drainage, which is crucial for the elimination of toxins and fat.

2. Avoid stimulants: refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine for at least 24 hours before the session to prevent dehydration and maximise results.

3. Do not apply lotions or oils: avoid using any products (e.g., lotions, oils, or perfumes) on the treatment area on the day of your appointment to ensure proper suction and avoid skin irritation.

4. Avoid eating large meals: do not eat heavy or fatty meals for at least 2 hours before the session. Light snacks are fine if needed.

5. Exercise regularly: engage in light physical activity leading up to your appointment to enhance circulation and prepare your lymphatic system for detoxification.

6. Discuss your medical history: inform your practitioner about any medical conditions, such as skin sensitivities, varicose veins, or underlying health issues. If you have a history of herpes or similar viral conditions, ask about antiviral medications to reduce the risk of flare-ups in sensitive areas.

1. Continue hydrating: drink plenty of water (at least 2 liters daily) for 2-3 days after the treatment to assist the lymphatic system in eliminating toxins and fat cells.

2. Avoid alcohol and caffeine: refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours post-treatment to prevent dehydration and support detoxification.

3. Gentle physical activity: engage in light exercises, such as walking or yoga, to stimulate lymphatic drainage and enhance the treatment's effects.

4. Avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 hours if the treated area feels tender.

5. Moisturise the skin: apply a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to soothe the skin and maintain its elasticity. Look for products containing aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin E. Avoid

6. Heat:  avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours after treatment, as heat can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.

7. Avoid tight clothing: wear loose, comfortable clothing to prevent pressure on the treated area, allowing proper circulation and healing.

8. Healthy diet: follow a balanced, low-sodium diet to minimise water retention and maintain your results. Avoid processed foods and focus on whole, nutrient-dense meals.

9. Massage or Dry Brushing Perform light massages or dry brushing on the treated area to enhance circulation and promote lymphatic drainage.
