What exactly is LPG? And why is it so popular? LPG massage has become one of the most popular cellulite treatments worldwide, primarily with the aim of reducing cellulite and relieving muscle pain. In this article, we will answer the most common questions we get about LPG – how it works, what the benefits are and why it is so popular right now.
What is LPG?
LPG is a mechanical and effective connective tissue massage with vacuum suction that stimulates the body's natural processes and improves both blood circulation and lymph circulation, which makes it easier to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body.
LPG is a pleasant muscle-relaxing treatment using a machine instead of your hands, and can be compared to an exclusive massage. LPG also has several positive effects on the body:
- LPG massage boosts collagen production, gives firmer skin and reduces cellulite.
- LPG can also contribute to faster recovery after physical activity.
- You can also choose to do LPG on the face to reduce swelling.
How does an LPG treatment work?
During the treatment, you wear a soft body stocking that protects your skin and makes it easier to move the machine.
You lie on a massage bed just like a regular massage, and I, or someone else in our team of certified skin therapists , perform the massage with the machine for about 30-60 minutes depending on the type of treatment you choose.
What results do you get from LPG?
One of the reasons why LPG has become so popular has to do with the fact that there are so many benefits to the treatment. Not only do you get a nice massage that contributes to recovery after exercise. It is the effect on cellulite that many are looking for. Our customers experience that the skin becomes firmer and that cellulite gradually decreases with regular treatments.
How quickly do you see the results of LPG?
If you do the treatment to get muscle relaxation, you will feel the results immediately after the treatment. If you do LPG to reduce cellulite and get firmer skin, you will start to see noticeable results after 2-3 treatments.
How often should LPG be done?
How often you should have an LPG massage varies depending on what you want to get out of the treatment. We usually recommend a course of 10 treatments with visits twice a week for the best possible results on cellulite and to achieve firmer skin. You can always book a free consultation with us to find out more about whether the treatment is right for you and how many treatments are required to achieve the results you are looking for.
It is also common to do LPG massage after liposuction , in which case four treatments over a period of one month are usually sufficient.
What are the benefits of LPG massage?
As mentioned, there are several benefits of regular LPG massage:
- Reduces cellulite: LPG massage is known to both reduce cellulite and improve skin texture.
- Post-workout recovery: Many athletes use LPG massage to speed up recovery and reduce muscle tension.
- Increased blood circulation: By stimulating blood circulation, LPG massage can help reduce swelling and improve oxygen transport in the body.
Are there any risks with LPG?
LPG massage is a simple, completely non-invasive treatment and therefore does not involve any direct risks. However, you should not do LPG if you are pregnant, have an ongoing infection or inflammation in the body, are taking blood thinning medication, have cancer or a blood disorder. This is simply because it has not been tested and ruled out that LPG is okay to do in these cases.
