Thanks to the many different attachments for the device, it is possible to act on any type of skin and eliminate many body imperfections. To date, the modernized and improved apparatus is actively used for massage with the aim of effectively influencing the skin and subcutaneous layer.

What do doctors think about this method of influencing the body

Specialists and doctors have a positive attitude towards LPG massage, as they note its effectiveness, safety and painlessness. During the preliminary consultation, the doctor recommends which areas should be emphasized and which areas should be given more attention.

The results of LPG sessions usually exceed all expectations, because patients not only get rid of cellulite and excess weight, but also get 20–30% more toned skin

The next factor that is highlighted by experts is the ability not to carry out in a complex with similar procedures to achieve a better result. One LPG massage is enough (of similar procedures) to affect changes in the relief and general condition of the skin and subcutaneous layers.

But still, experts pay attention to the contraindications of the procedure, since if you abuse and violate the rules of the session, you can not only not correct body flaws, but also harm your health.

Technique

Before attending an LPG massage session, you should consult a doctor and undergo a diagnosis. The specialist determines the condition of the skin and an individual course of procedures. The survey includes:

• Weighing the patient;
• Measurement of body volumes;
• Finding problem areas and focusing on them;
• Definition of areas that are not subject to treatment by the device due to contraindications;
• Photographing the patient for clarity in a standing position.

In conclusion, the doctor allows or does not allow the session. With a positive response from a specialist, you can start the procedure as soon as possible.

1. Training. At least 3 hours before the massage, you need to prepare: refuse to eat and drink about half a liter of water. Before starting the procedure, the patient puts on a special suit for greater effectiveness of the session.
2. Identification of problem areas. Based on the opinion of the doctor, as well as his own observations, the specialist notes the areas of the body necessary for treatment and selects the appropriate nozzle and device mode.
3. Massage. The marked problem areas can be treated with a special apparatus. The patient feels only small waves through the body, painless at normal intensity. If discomfort occurs, the doctor adjusts the regimen. The specialist uses four basic movements: "twisting" (against cellulite), "rocking" (against body fat), "sliding" (to model the contour of the body), "polishing" (for elasticity and firmness of the skin). During the procedure, the patient is allowed and even encouraged to tighten the muscles of the body and move to achieve a better result. One session lasts about 35-40 minutes.
4. After the session. At the end of the procedure, the patient can start his daily activities, since there is no rehabilitation period and strict restrictions, but it is better to refuse food and drink plenty of water in the next 3 hours. To achieve a greater effect in the future, you should treat the skin with anti-cellulite creams, balance your diet and play sports.

It should be said right away that the LPG massage procedure takes place in several main stages. Before the session starts, diagnostics is performed, consisting of several stages:

• The characteristics of the human body are studied (search for problem areas and assessment of the figure);
• The doctor points out the problem areas, which are subsequently subjected to LPG massage.

After a comprehensive examination, the doctor offers the patient to put on a suit for procedures (material - capron). Then, after the suit is put on, the patient needs to lie down on the couch.

Then, the wizard gets to work and performs the following actions:

• The doctor notes highlights the areas that will undergo procedures;
• On the suit, areas that need to be processed are marked;
• The patient's body is studied and the massage mode is selected.

Initially, the patient's body is subjected to LPG massage at the lowest power. The device has 10 speeds, and most specialists start their work with 1 or 2. At the beginning of the procedure, the patient will have unpleasant pain - the skin has not yet adapted and within 10-15 minutes you will have to endure and get used to it.

After this time, the body should get used to it, but otherwise, many patients have different sensations: where there are problem areas with obesity, pain is felt, and in places where there is practically no fat, there will be pleasant sensations. After a short time, a person will feel pleasant sensations in the massaged places.

As it has already become clear, with the advent of getting used to the sensations, the doctor gradually begins to increase the vibration speed of the rollers. Sometimes, the mode of exposure to the skin changes - there are soft and gentle, there are hard and uncomfortable. If you feel sharp pain, you should immediately inform the doctor, who will reduce the speed and make the procedure more relaxed.

The maximum duration of one LPG massage session is no more than 40 minutes.

The result is the main thing in therapy

After the effect obtained, it is recommended to continue visiting LPG massage, but much less often - 1-2 times a month.

Experts recommend drinking plenty of water (at least 2 liters a day). Before starting LPG massage, you need to drink 0.5 liters of water and after, also 0.5 liters. The use of liquid will help to activate the body systems, help to remove toxins and fat in a natural way.

A woman will see the first results after an LPG massage session after 4-5 visits to the master. To enhance the effect of the procedures passed, experts recommend constantly jogging, walking more, going to fitness clubs. Do not forget about proper nutrition and constant weight control. If you stick to a diet, play sports and lead an active lifestyle, the effect of lpg massage obtained from the procedures will last for about a year. Some have effects up to three years.
