The suction cup is an effective tool for connective tissue massage. Self treatment is easy. The principle is that the suction cup creates a vacuum while being moved along the surface of the skin. Thereby, connective tissues and tissues are stretched and blood vessels and lymphatics are peak-loaded by the strongly increased supply of blood and fluid. This will help to drain the tissues, and connective tissues and nerve ends are strengthened.

Effect:
This form of skin and tissue massage has proved to have a very favourable effect on blemished skin, cellulite, aching and stiff muscles etc.

Accessory:
We recommend you to use Alkymea's Massage Oils which at the same time supports the effect. When treating the face we recommend a rich cream or neutral oil.

Choice of suction cup:
Choose the size which is most suitable for the body area you are going to treat. Fields of application:
20 mm for face, neck and arms.
30 mm for neck, arms and shoulders.
50 mm for legs, thighs, back and stomach.

CLINIC INFORMATION:
Suction cup therapy can easily be integrated in any form of massage treatment. It is a very effective tool for treatment of e.g. muscle tension or stiff muscles and tissues. At the same time it reduces the stress on the therapist's hands.
