Vacuum massage is an effective aesthetic body care procedure that combines traditional cupping therapy with modern technology. During the procedure, vacuum pressure is carefully controlled and individually adjusted according to the client’s comfort and desired aesthetic results.
Vacuum massage is widely used to improve body aesthetics, as it helps reduce cellulite, decrease body volume, improve skin tone, and stimulate lymphatic flow. It can be performed on specific areas or the entire body.
At “Veselības centrs 4” clinic in Riga, vacuum massage is also used in rehabilitation and as a complementary therapy after aesthetic procedures.
