The shape of your face can be adjusted using the services of beauty salons. To do this, they have a certain supply of methods that allow you to get rid of cosmetic defects in the form of, for example, swelling. The skin can be rejuvenated thanks to a procedure such as lpg facial massage. It is based on the use of vacuum to knead the skin and fat folds. This type of mechanical action can be used for both the body and the face, and the same apparatus is used for these procedures, but the attachments change.
What does "LPG" stand for?
The development of such a massage was carried out by the Frenchman Louis-Paul Guitey - it was his initials that were used in the name of the procedure. This man was in a car accident, which turned his whole life upside down, depriving him of the ability to move normally. His injury forced him to do various exercises and massage sessions every day, so one day the idea came to his mind to develop a device that could help the body get back in order after injuries of various types. Now this development is used to correct stretch marks, “orange peels” and improve the health of facial skin.
Previously, this type of massage was used to restore the body.
Features of this procedure
This method is called differently - liftmassage, cosmechanics, endermolift. During the procedure, a vacuum-pinch action occurs on the skin, reaching its deep layers. Even deeper tissues can be treated.
As already mentioned, the procedure was developed in France by a man who, due to an accident, could not move normally for a long time. The patient did not like the way the specialists handled their duties during the massage process, so he had to independently invent a device for these manipulations. Over time, it was called LPG.
At first, the device for LPG massage was intended to be used in the rehabilitation of people after certain traumatic injuries - for example, to smooth out scars after operations. The resulting effect is many times greater than that obtained with manual massage techniques. In addition, the results last longer. Over time, LPG began to be used to improve skin health, increase its elasticity, smooth cellulite and correct stretch marks. It is advisable to use LPG massage to remove excess fat. Thus, the scope of use of the device is quite wide.
LPG massage is often used to eliminate cellulite
This cosmetic procedure will allow you to correct the shape of your face thanks to the effects of a vacuum and a roller. The impact occurs with several manipulas intended for the face or body. For example, a facial device is designed to draw in an area of skin and subcutaneous fat using a vacuum. Retraction frequency is from 4 to 16 per second.
This service is provided by many cosmetology clinics. The manipulation device is configured to operate automatically, which is suitable for a specific client (this is chosen by the cosmetologist). The procedure allows you to correct facial skin imperfections. Any impact does not cause pain.

Wirtex-slim
Wirtex-slim is a “budget” version of the Belarusian B-Flexy device.
ATTENTION!
Tatiana Kuznetsova
The device is cheaper than its “big brother” due to savings on components - of the European parts, only an Italian-made turbine is used in it.
Wirtex-slim is designed for vacuum roller body massage. The set includes 2 handpieces: a main one and a smaller one, for hard-to-reach areas. The device operates according to a manual and automated protocol. It is noteworthy that the manufacturer indicates “vacuum roller massage” in the purpose of the equipment and does not write about LPG technology. However, a special suit is required for a Wirtex-slim session. Wirtex-slim is an inexpensive analogue of LPG devices.
Production: Belarus.

Benefits and results of LPG massage
This procedure has been subjected to a large number of clinical trials to win the love of specialists around the globe. Research has revealed the advantages of such manipulations in comparison with similar procedures that are carried out manually.
- The volume of subcutaneous fat is reduced by almost half, and this process continues even after the end of the course of procedures.
- The skin becomes denser by about 50%.
- Quite a noticeable lifting effect.
- The amount of collagen increases, and the fiber structure is regenerated.
After several sessions of this massage, a lifting effect becomes noticeable.
It has been experimentally established that one procedure is enough to notice such important results:
- the flow of arterial blood increases, enriching tissues with oxygen;
- the outflow of venous blood is normalized, cleansing the body of unnecessary substances;
- lymph flows out more.
In modern cosmetology, this procedure is the only way to influence facial skin using specialized devices, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed in an authoritative certification system for medical technologies and inventions. The popularity of this massage in the beauty industry is quite high.
This procedure is safe and extremely popular.
Features of rejuvenation using LPG therapy
Of course, the event should be held in specialized clinics. Specialists will carefully examine you, answer all your questions, and help you understand the nuances of the procedure. Although some people still buy a special LPG device with a roller and vacuum, which allows them to do massage at home, so as not to spend money on the services of a cosmetologist.
The frequency and duration of procedures are prescribed by a cosmetologist. If a woman is over fifty and has wrinkled and sagging skin, she needs from 15 to 25 events. If you just need to prevent skin aging or the problems are not so significant, ten repetitions of the massage will be enough. Usually one or maximum two procedures per week are enough.
The number of sessions depends on the condition of the facial skin
Note! One session takes approximately half an hour.
When five or six repetitions of the massage have been completed, the so-called “critical period” may occur, which not everyone can cope with. The skin is deprived of almost all water, sags, and forms folds. Naturally, the appearance is quite unpleasant. But if you continue the procedures, you will be able to notice pleasant improvements.
The sensations during the procedure are related to the pain threshold and the operating mode of the device.
When performing a massage, you should slightly raise your head.
The person may experience mild discomfort during the procedure
Make-up is prohibited for several hours after the procedure.
Important! To prevent the effect from disappearing, experts advise doing two or three massages every six months to maintain skin condition.
Remember: if you want to carry out procedures with an LPG machine yourself at home, you need to have some skills. If you choose the wrong operating mode or use the wrong attachment, you may suffer from bruising. So you need to learn how to work with the device, consult with cosmetologists. If you are afraid that you might make a mistake, it is better to visit a cosmetology clinic.
You need to learn how to use such a device before starting procedures at home.
Important! Before the massage, be sure to drink two glasses of clean water, since the procedure affects the removal of moisture from the skin.
Indications for the procedure
Fibroblasts are cells that affect the youth of our skin, making it firm and elastic. From the age of 25, the production of collagen and elastin decreases because the cells do not work as actively as before.
The skin of the face is quite delicate, and in response to a lack of these substances, it becomes wrinkled, sags, and its color becomes unhealthy. The procedure we are considering is precisely designed to activate these cells, giving the skin a youthful appearance.
This procedure can be done at any age
Note! This massage can be done at any age.
To whom is the technique recommended?
Cosmetologists prescribe a course of endermolift to patients who have:
- unhealthy, dull complexion;
- swelling that cannot be eliminated;

Contraindications
Before carrying out this procedure, you should definitely ask your doctor if you can do it. The specialist will carefully examine those areas of the skin that need massage. The conducted surveys make it possible to identify general and special prohibitions on the use of this hardware procedure. As a matter of fact, the prohibitions are similar to those imposed during manual types of massage.
You should consult your doctor before undergoing the procedure.

Massage with LPG machine
The hardware used is considered advanced in the field of cosmetology. A modern LPG massage device was invented based on the features of the basic one.
Modernization and improvement of the classic LPG device took place in Israel. The effect allows you to correct sagging, sagging skin, smooth out stretch marks and wrinkles. The undoubted advantage of the devices is the fairly quick implementation of the procedure and excellent effectiveness.
The LPG massage device is constantly being modernized
Note! Many other methods of hardware cosmetology will allow you to notice any result after several repetitions of the procedure, and an advanced LPG device will provide visible results after a single session.
The advantage of a massage device is that a person does not suffer from pain or bruises. To do this, they use special attachments that act more gently than others. In addition, the device itself allows you to set a gentle program that will not harm the skin.
You can set the settings for each specific client
LPG facial massage in
For everyone who wants to receive compliments and admiration, we present the LPG Mobilift M6, a device created for the endermolift procedure (translated from Latin “Derma” - skin, “Lift” - to lift). This is a hardware mechanical massage procedure that is intended for both men and women.
The device was developed in France and is the latest development of the LPG company, which once again proves their innovation, which never ceases to pleasantly amaze with its efficiency and ability to give the necessary results.
What types of LPG massage are there?
There are several types of this massage. Each of them is designed to correct the client’s skin imperfections, and they all have their own nuances.
LPG massage with lifting effect
Skin lifting can be done in different ways, and one of the methods is LPG massage. The skin is subjected exclusively to mechanical stress, and it regenerates spontaneously, without the addition of additional substances such as fillers or surgical intervention. In other words, the procedure affects exactly the cause of problems, and not only removes their manifestations. The skin becomes healthier as the work of specialized cells is stimulated.
Thanks to this procedure, you can achieve a lifting effect on the skin of the face and neck.
The desired youthful effect can be achieved quite quickly:
- beautiful facial contours are formed, cheeks and chin are lifted;
- Age-related skin sagging is removed and “gravitational ptosis” is corrected;
- Excess fat in the cheeks and chin area is perfectly removed;
- excess moisture is removed, swelling disappears;
- the skin becomes more elastic.
Important! It is worth noting that the procedure has an effect not only directly on the problem area, but also on the entire body. After such a massage, clients say that they feel relaxed and their emotional background improves.
After the procedure, you can continue to lead your normal lifestyle.
The massage does not provide for a further recovery period, and you also do not need to limit yourself in anything, you can return to your usual way of life.
LPG anti-wrinkle technology
This procedure is recommended for people of all ages to smooth out wrinkles. Massage prevents any changes in the structure of the skin associated with age, and also tightens it well.
With LPG massage you can get rid of wrinkles
The procedure device can cope with the following types of wrinkles.
- Superficial, similar to a small mesh. In large quantities, they give the skin a parchment structure. They are usually formed due to a lack of moisture in the skin.
- Medium-deep, touching the middle layer of facial skin. Their formation comes from ignored superficial wrinkles. Collagen fibers are damaged by free radicals, and the formation of “youth cells” is inhibited.
- Deep, formed with the participation of subcutaneous fat. They are characteristic of natural folds of the skin, for example, in the nasolabial triangle.
Note! If you complete a full course of massage, it is quite possible to completely “erase” surface wrinkles. The number of medium-deep and deep wrinkles is reduced by approximately thirty percent. They become less deep (20%) and not so long (15%).
Of course, you won’t be able to get rid of deep wrinkles in one course of procedures, but you can “erase” superficial ones
In addition, the LPG massage device has a positive effect on the facial muscles and normalizes the blood supply to the tissues. This is very important to prevent the occurrence of gravity wrinkles. Fibroblasts begin to work intensively, producing collagen and elastin. It is worth remembering that a person also develops dynamic wrinkles - a consequence of natural facial expressions. So you need to choose the right method and intensity of the massager - any mistake can worsen the current situation.
LPG equipment in the fight against sagging skin
This skin is not elastic enough and lacks tone. In cosmetology, this problem is called “atonic skin.” The skin is wrinkled, saggy, dry and unhealthy in color. Typically, sagging is affected by decreased tone of the facial muscles, aging processes, genetic predisposition, various diseases, and constant stress.
Using this technique you can make your skin less sagging.
Typically, such a skin deficiency appears around the age of forty, when a lack of elastin and collagen in the body is noted, so it is best to start courses of preventive massage after 25 years. Remember: it is better to prevent any skin imperfections than to try to correct them later.
Note! If you have problems with skin tone, the procedure can reduce the area of the problem area by about 20%.
The skin requires some time to restore its previous properties. Do not be discouraged if, after visiting a cosmetologist once, you do not notice any positive changes - any problems can be solved if you influence them systematically.
You'll have to wait to see significant results.
LPG technology to get rid of acne marks
Post-acne is the result of acne. The skin becomes pathologically thickened and scars appear on it. The color of problem areas may even change. The pores also expand, and a network of blood vessels under the skin is formed. Of course, this spoils a person's appearance.
Such skin cannot be restored - it needs to be renewed. No amount of superficial, smoothing or exfoliating peels will save you. That is, you will have to help the skin renew itself to its previous state.
Using LPG massage you can get rid of acne marks
LPG massage is a great way to solve this problem. Thanks to it, skin renewal processes are activated, the work of “youth cells” is stimulated, which synthesize collagen and elastin - important participants in the process we need.
Collagen is the main factor in skin youth, as it affects its elasticity, firmness, density and turgor. If you regularly use a special device on problem areas, you can do a good job of removing the marks left from acne.
It is worth carrying out the procedure regularly to obtain a lasting effect.
What results can you get?
Photo: Cellu-M6-Integral device
It is especially worth noting that the listed results that the method gives are not advertising promises. The LPG massage procedure is one of the few that have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration in the United States). For the States and Europe, FDA approval means that a drug or procedure has the effect stated by the developer and manufacturer and is safe for humans.
So, what effects should you expect from the procedure:
- wrinkles: decrease in depth by 23%, length by 15%, number by 34%;
- skin density increases by 53%;
- the amount of subcutaneous fat in unwanted places is reduced by 48%;
- reduction of skin area after a course of procedures by 20% (excellent lifting effect);
- renewal of collagen fibers by 27-120% compared to the original level.
Preparation for the procedure
There is no need to prepare specially for a massage. Usually it is advised to drink two glasses of clean water, and also remove makeup and cleanse the skin of excess oil.
The massage should take place on clean and dry skin. Although sometimes the cosmetologist applies special products to enhance the effect of the massage. The client lies down on a bed or chair facing the ceiling; it is necessary to slightly raise his head. Each area of the face is treated by a specialist for up to fifteen minutes. If the skin is too problematic, it may take longer.
You don’t have to do any special preparation for the procedure.
Note! After the procedure, minor swelling and redness may occur. There is no need to worry - this is a completely adequate skin reaction. These phenomena disappear either after a few hours or after a few days - it all depends on individual characteristics.
You may notice changes in your skin immediately or over time. After the first massage, the result lasts for a couple of days. To maintain it for a long time, a course of procedures consisting of at least ten repetitions of LPG massage is required.
Most often, two massages are performed per week. The duration of exposure and its methods are related to the existing skin deficiency and its severity. An important factor is the person’s age and skin type.
Usually two procedures are performed per week
Note! When you complete the full course of massage, the results will last for about a year.
There is no need to take care of your face after a massage. You can use your usual skincare products, go to the gym, sunbathe - in general, live the way you are used to.
Customer reviews about the procedure
Natalya, Moscow
“I really tried a lot of different cosmetic procedures. What I liked most was the LPG technology. The quick effect is pleasing - the face has become toned, the oval has become more beautiful. And it didn’t take many procedures! Of course, I will repeat this massage so that the results last for a long time. By the way, I do LPG massage in other areas to firm up the skin and get rid of cellulite. And in this case the method is no less effective.”
There are more positive reviews about this procedure than negative ones
Maria, St. Petersburg
“I did the LPG massage on the advice of a cosmetologist. I don't have any wrinkles yet, but lack of sleep has significantly worsened the appearance of my face. The massage really saved my skin, as even one procedure was enough for an excellent result. Of course, I will go through the entire course of procedures, I want to see a brighter result. I advise you to try this method, just consult a specialist first.”
Katerina, Sergiev Posad
“I still don’t understand what the point of LPG massage is. It seems that I did everything that the specialist told me, I completed the full course. And what happened? Yes, absolutely nothing. Of course, my face began to look healthy, but I didn’t see any dramatic changes. Probably not my method, because I saw the results of other people and read a lot of reviews. Perhaps I just don’t need this method of rejuvenation yet.”
Note! Often negative reviews about such a cosmetic procedure are probably associated with the use of low-quality equipment in cosmetic clinics.

Cost of the procedure
We will indicate the average cost of the procedure in different cities of Russia. Let us clarify that it depends on the specifics of the clinic, the experience and qualifications of the doctor, the equipment used, and the duration of the session. We advise you not to go to clinics and centers where the cost of the procedure is too low - perhaps they do not use a real LPG massage device, but a fake one that will not be able to affect the skin as necessary. Because of this, at best, you will not see any results at all.

Moscow | 2000 rub. |
Saint Petersburg | 1700 rub. |
Nizhny Novgorod | 1600 rub. |
