The topic of vibration massagers has long enveloped the information space because of its specificity, which is expressed by loud statements regarding the effectiveness of these devices. Numerous advertisements and extremely positive reviews have formed a positive image of vibrating massagers. It is worth understanding this topic in more detail.

Peculiarities

At one time on television, one could often find advertisements for these devices. They declared an extremely effective effect on the skin of different areas of the human body. Some commercials even stated that, due to vibration and impulses, such devices simulate active muscle contractions, after which a person can actively lose weight, thereby replacing intense physical activity.

But as time has shown, all users of these massagers were faced with an advertising move, which was to present their goods as profitable as possible. As a result, people realized that they did not lose weight at all and in return only received a pleasant vibration massage, the work of which was in no way comparable to what was promised in the videos. But with the awareness of the importance of diet and exercise as the main tools for losing weight, vibrating massagers have not disappeared from store shelves.

Yes, over time they have become less popular, and now people know that these products are not a panacea. At the same time, many scientific studies have revealed other features of vibrating massage machines.

  • The first is how it works. Due to the movement of the main part and its contact with the skin, muscle fibers begin to contract through electrical impulses. And this method of influence has its advantages.Firstly, more blood begins to flow to the massaged area, which entails saturation of the muscles with oxygen and nutrients. Secondly, the actions of these devices to some extent imitate the work of a real massage therapist. The only difference is that a person can purposefully focus on a certain part of the body if it is problematic or simply requires more attention. The devices, however, have a constant intensity and are designed for monotonous massage, so much depends on their technical characteristics.
  • The second feature is the effect on the ligaments and muscles. Multiple contractions of the heads or any other elements of the massagers can not only saturate the areas selected by the user with blood, but also stretch them, bring them to a certain basic tone. Based on this, vibrating units can be useful for novice athletes in order to prepare muscles for subsequent loads.

Still, warm-up and workout for joints, ligaments, tendons is a prerequisite for reducing trauma during sports.

Also, vibrating massagers are popular among those people whose lifestyle is actively associated with constant stress on certain parts of the body - the back, legs, neck and other places where painful sensations that cause discomfort can most often occur. And one of the options for eliminating it is vibrating massagers. Thanks to the blood flow to the muscles, tired and stressed zones receive more nutrients and relax, thereby recovering faster.

But it must be noted that if the problems are chronic, then massagers will not be the solution to the problem, but can only alleviate it or postpone it for a small amount of time. As for the cosmetic effect, which is no less important for many consumers, it is present, but not to the same extent as previously stated.

Naturally, thanks to the active influence on the face, thighs, buttocks, these zones change slightly in a positive way, since the massagers help to improve the state of the cardiovascular system, stabilize blood pressure. Subsequently, the skin becomes fresher, but this effect is not permanent and lasts for a short time.

As can be understood from the features of these devices, their use is purely preventive in nature and does not represent anything extremely serious. But it is worth noting that the use of these products is completely safe if you operate the massage units in accordance with the instructions and do not expose the device to persons who are not allowed to do so. Still, the incoming current has its own characteristics of influence, therefore, it is extremely important to study all the nuances before using it.

Views

At the moment, there are many types of vibrating massagers. Each of them has serious design differences, which is primarily a consequence of the place of application. It is possible to distinguish both small and low-power models, and full-fledged stations with various types of installation.

Manual

This type of device has a fairly simple streamlined shape for which pronounced grip points can be provided. Manual copies are powered by low-power electric motors, often powered by batteries. The advantage of these products is their small size and weight, due to which they can be carried with you. Most models have an elongated flat shape with a working head at the end. More expensive models with an extended configuration can be supplied with a considerable number of nozzles provided for the study of various zones.

It should be noted that hand-held vibrating massagers are mainly intended for use in the face and neck area, since their low power is quite enough for blood flow in these places. There are also more versatile units with improved performance and expanded scope. The popularity of this type of massager is also due to its low cost. Every consumer can afford such a product.

Among other features of manual counterparts, one can also point out a wide range of models, due to which the consumer has variability during the selection before buying.

Vacuum

This type of massager can be classified as more advanced than manual massagers. Among the main features are technical characteristics that allow you to adjust the workflow depending on your preferences. It is also worth mentioning that the power of vacuum massagers is enough for a deeper and more thorough study, which makes the process more efficient and faster. The dimensions of these devices are slightly larger than those of hand-held devices. The same goes for weight.

In the midst of the advertising campaign of vibrating massagers, this particular type of product was positioned as an effective option against cellulite and body fat, supposedly allowing to reduce body weight, as well as significantly correct facial features. The main areas of application are the thighs, buttocks, and the chin and cheeks. The whole principle of operation consists in the functioning of a nozzle with heads and rollers, which, due to the increased power, massage and have a vibration effect. Higher-end models may have a suction cup attachment. The price is in the middle range, sometimes exceeding it.

At the moment, among the manufacturers of this type of units, you can find many companies that sell various massage equipment.

Ionic

They are expressed by the same type of Japanese and Chinese models, which are extremely similar in functionality to manual ones. Common features include small size, affordable price and light weight. The most popular representative of ionic models is the Energy Beauty Bar vibrating massager. The main advantage is the operative effect on the skin in order to improve its condition and appearance. In addition, thanks to the T-shaped tip, skin and wrinkles can be smoothed out. But it is important to understand that the effect is only temporary.

Among the advantages, one can single out the work of a massager in conjunction with the use of cosmetics. Since the product is intended for the face, the vibration effect goes well with various creams and gels due to their more active and even application to the skin surface. That is, this product can be combined with cosmetics to achieve a more effective result. Energy Beauty Bar is powered by a regular battery and comes in a gift box. The frequency of operation is about 6000 microvibrations per minute, the size is 14.5x1.6 cm.

Tape

The so-called professional sports vibration massagers, which are known for their versatility and efficiency. It is these models that represent the advanced units designed to provide the best result. There are so many differences between this type of massager that they are similar to other types only in that they use vibration during operation. Almost everything else has been changed and improved through the use of new technologies and advanced designs. Belt devices are most often multifunctional floor trainers.

The main structural element is the multiple rollers fixed in a wide line. The large area of ​​the tape allows the unit to be used for a wide variety of zones - legs, back, lower legs, thighs, lower back. In this case, the efficiency of work will be ensured by the action of a very powerful electric motor. The user only needs to stand on the platform, put on the tape and select the appropriate operating mode.

It should be noted that most modern massagers of this type are equipped with digital and graphic displays, on which you can make detailed settings.

The functionality of such products includes the adjustment of speeds and other intensity parameters, as well as the setting of programs, each of which has an individual massage algorithm. The display has an information panel with the amount of session time, the calculation of calorie consumption and the current speed. The design is adjustable in height and can generally support 100-130 kg depending on the model. The number of modes and replaceable attachments is also individual, but, as a rule, their number allows you to use the massager variably.

The weight of such products is about 20 kg, the dimensions are 40x85x70 cm. Additional functions include a timer, auto-off, and work intensity adjustment. Remote controlled operation technology can be built in. Naturally, the only downsides are low mobility and high cost.

Other

Among other vibrating massagers, it is worth highlighting the wave "butterflies" for the neck and back. Through the action and active movement of the heads, they also help to improve blood flow and relieve puffiness. Low price and rather compact size - a good option for use both at home and at work during a break.

There are also wave and magnetic analogs. There are also products on the market that have an effect with infrared radiation, which heats up a certain part of the body surface, thereby increasing blood flow in a non-mechanical way.

Criterias of choice

Among the many criteria before buying a vibrating massager, you need to consider only the most necessary ones.

  • First, decide on the type of product you want. After that, study the characteristics that suit you. The most important of them are the power and the presence of any useful technologies, functions.
  • It is also desirable to have several modes of operation with intensity settings. Pay attention to the package bundle, because the wider it is, the more varied you can use the product.
  • Do not forget to rely on the reviews so that the device you are purchasing is really of high quality and can last an extremely long time.
  • Compare analogs and select by additional features - dimensions, weight, configuration, shape.

How to use?

In fact, there are no difficulties in using vibrating massagers. Handheld and ionic models only need to be turned on, before that they have been previously provided with power through a battery. Before using "butterflies" and other more powerful products, you need to study the documentation in order to identify contraindications. As a rule, they are expressed by pregnancy, cardiovascular diseases, as well as the use of electrical stimulants.

Also, pay attention to the fact that the more complex the device, the more careful you need to treat its use. For example, tape models have a rather complex design that requires assembly and preparation of equipment for starting work. You need to select a program, set the necessary settings for it. Since vibrating massagers are electrical devices, care must be taken to keep them dry and not to be near heat sources.

In any case, before using the product, study the documentation, where you can also find complete information on how to properly configure the equipment and use all its capabilities.
