Lipovacuum ™ - s impl e y et ef f ect iv e Congratulations on your purchase of Lipovacuum. Lipovacuum allows you to enjoy the benefits of Lipo-Dermology™ without the inconvenience of regular and expensive visits to a salon. Lipo-Dermology™ is a relatively simple treatment using vacuum created pulses which pass through the skin in waves, to repeatedly compress and stimulate the underlying tissue structures.

T R E A T M ENT modes Fatty Tissue Breakdown The pulsing action targets the subcutaneous layer, promoting the breakdown of the fatty tissue, commonly called cellulite. With regular sessions this can dramatically reduce the appearance of ‘orange peel’ skin. During Use When using the Lipovacuum it is important to relax and take your time to work methodically over the area you are treating.
H I P S A n d But TOCKs The hips and buttocks tend to be one of the major areas of the body where fat is stored. Over time the build up of the fatty tissue deposits can develop to such a degree that the orange peel effect is visible on the surface of the skin. The breakdown of these hardened fat deposits are difficult to target with diet and exercise alone. Lipovacuum can be used to directly target this layer of subcutaneous fat.
T H I GHS The thighs, along with the buttocks, are the one of the most common areas where the body naturally stores fat. Fatty Tissue Breakdown - Large/Medium Head Maximum 8 minutes on each side Power level - up to maximum Move in vertical strokes, keeping the pressure firm, repeat over the area in lateral strokes. Finish with vertical strokes towards the heart. Use the highest power level which is comfortable to you.
A B D OM EN Fatty Tissue Breakdown - Large Head Maximum 5 minutes Power level - low Move horizontally across the area with very light pressure. Repeat with vertical strokes. Keep the power level low and do not exceed the 5 minute time limit. Skin Toning and Firming - Large/Medium Head Maximum 5 minutes Power level - low The abdomen has no bone structure protecting the major organs. It is, therefore, very important to only use gentle pressure and a low power on this area.
B ACK The back contains three major muscle groups: the latissimus dorsi, located on each side of your back, the erector spinae (lower back) which is made up of three muscles that run the full length of your back, and the rhomboids between the shoulder blades. These muscles are vital to our posture, mobility and our very quality of life. The back can easily become tense and knotted contributing to, and even causing, headaches, neck aches, bad posture, back pain and shallow breathing.
S H O U L D ERS The shoulder muscles can easily become tense and knotted, this tension can contribute to headaches, neck aches, bad posture and inhibit relaxing breathing which in turn can increase stress. Using the Lipovacuum over the shoulder area relaxes the muscles. Fatty Tissue Breakdown - Medium Head 4 minutes on each side Power level - up to maximum Move across the shoulder in one direction keeping the pressure firm but not painful, repeat over the area in the opposite direction.
D E C OllaGE Just like our faces, the decollage (the area above the breasts to the neck) is an area of thin skin which shows the stress and strain of daily life very easily. The skin texture becomes less toned over time eventually giving a ‘crepe’ appearance. Using the Skin Toning and Firming programme on a low power and with light pressure provides a gentle relaxing treatment stimulating blood circulation through the skin improving the complexion, toning, firming and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
C A L F MU SCL ES The calf muscles are often a neglected area of the body, yet they take a huge amount of stress and strain everyday. This is especially true for people whose day involves a lot of standing. Fatty Tissue Breakdown - Medium Head 4 minutes on each calf Power level - comfortable Use vertical strokes over the muscle area keep the pressure firm but not painful, repeat with lateral strokes. Finish with more vertical strokes towards the heart.
ARMS Our arms and hands are used constantly throughout the day resulting in tension and sometimes pain. The Lipovacuum can massage this tension away improving our sense of well-being. Fatty Tissue Breakdown - Medium Head 4 minutes on each arm Power level - up to maximum Use vertical strokes over the lower then upper arm area, keeping the pressure firm but not painful, repeat with lateral strokes. Finish with long strokes towards the heart.
F A C E a nd neck Fatty Tissue Breakdown We do not recommend using this programme on the face and neck. Skin Toning and Firming - Small Head 10 minutes Power level - low to comfortable Our faces are one of the areas which quickly shows the stress and strain of daily life. Lines and wrinkles become more pronounced as we adopt the same expressions day after day.
HANDS The hands and fingers are used constantly throughout the day. Massage in this area can help to release some of the built-up tension and help to relax the muscles. Fatty Tissue Breakdown We do not recommend using this programme on the hands. The massaging and lifting actions of the Lipovacuum help to improve blood circulation to the hands and fingers.
