(8 cards)
Intro machines and applications
The machine I have chosen today is a Vacuum suction. The reason I have chosen this machine is to help with your lymphatic drainage.
how does it work
This treatment uses a glass ventouse connected to a pump that creates suction. This is moved over the area treated in the direction of the nearest lymph nodes to create lymphatic drainage.
Contra indications
Delicate or sensitive skin, sunburn or windburn, loose, creepy skin, Hirsutism, open wounds, thrombosis, varicose veins.
Effects on the skin
Stimulates the lymphatic system, removes waste, boosts circulation, improves the appearance of cellulite
Safety precautions
I check the ventose for cracks, test the machine on myself before applying to the client, apply a lot of oil/massage medium to the area to allow movement, Do not work over lymph nodes, No more than 20% up the ventose.
Contra actions
bruising, redness, irritation, swelling, pain, discomfort and allergic reactions.
How to clean
I ensure my equipment is sanitary by storing it in an airtight container and washing the ventose with hot and soapy water.
Home care advice
Hydrate well by drinking plenty of water to flush out toxins released during the treatment. Avoid excessive exercise , alcohol and hot environments for 24 hours.
