Kuznetsov applicator for cellulite: how to use correctly, does it help, how does it work against crusting

The therapeutic and prophylactic massager of Kuznetsova A.S. is simple, like everything ingenious. It is a rectangular piece of fabric to which round or square or rectangular plastic parts with spikes are sewn (glued). Sometimes there are ties sewn on the sides to help secure the device to the back or legs.

This applicator is sold in any pharmacy, and the price is pleasing - from 150 rubles. Since the late 80s of the last century, the invention of a Soviet scientist has been helping to fight diseases of the musculoskeletal system, pain in different parts of the body and, of course, lipodystrophy - negative changes in subcutaneous fat tissue associated with a slowdown in metabolism.

For cellulite, the Kuznetsov applicator is used in combination with a special cream, oil, lotion or other cosmetic product. Below we will explain the principle of its operation and how to use the prickly mat correctly.

History of the creation and use of the Kuznetsov applicator

Initially, Kuznetsov’s applicator was invented to relieve joint and muscle pain, treat osteochondrosis, radiculitis and flat feet. The operation of this device is based on the same principle as in the ancient Chinese acupuncture technique. The ancient art of acupuncture refers to reflexology and is based on the fact that active stimulation of certain points on the human body can effectively get rid of a number of serious diseases.

The creator of this amazing applicator is Ivan Kuznetsov, who developed the device and the method of using it to get rid of severe illness.

Chinese acupuncture originated approximately five thousand years ago. Ancient healers believed that a person gets sick only when some kind of obstacle arises in the way of his energy flows. Sharp needles restore the flow of energy, affecting points located on the energy meridians, and the patient regains health.

A few years later it turned out that Kuznetsov’s applicator is extremely effective for weight correction, treating some stages of obesity and getting rid of cellulite. The effect on nerve endings that regular use of the Kuznetsov applicator has is comparable in strength only to expensive acupressure procedures. In addition, the use of the applicator leads to amazing results in those suffering from diabetes and obesity caused by disorders of the endocrine system.

The universal massager has a low cost and is available to every woman who takes care of her health and wants to remain young and attractive for a long time. Externally, it is a small flat rug, on the surface of which round plates with sharp needles are placed in a checkerboard pattern. Later, Kuznetsov's applicators appeared in the form of rollers with a comfortable handle, belts with an elastic band and prefabricated plates with magnetic inserts.

Using the Kuznetsov applicator to get rid of cellulite

All types of applicators are necessarily equipped with needle-shaped modules made of plastic, which provide a therapeutic effect on the human body.

It should be remembered that in order to exclude the possibility of infection entering the body through the skin, each person must have an individual device for acupressure.

Operating principle and effect

The main purpose of the applicator is acupuncture acupressure and reflexology. The point of using the mat is that its spikes irritate the skin, excite the nerve endings, causing a reflex expansion of the capillaries and blood flow to the area affected. This effect stimulates tissue renewal, regeneration, and promotes the removal of toxins through the blood and lymph.

At the same time, muscles contract and become toned, skin elasticity increases, cellulite and excess fat deposits decrease. This mat is a great help in the comprehensive fight against lipodystrophy.

Other positive results:

Relief of aching pain in the lower back, neck due to osteochondrosis;
Elimination of pain and cramps during premenstrual syndrome;
Relief of migraines;
Increased libido and sexual desire when used in the sacral area and on the feet;
Normalization of digestion and stool;
Relaxation and improved sleep.

Physiotherapeutic device Lyapko

If Kuznetsov’s applicator was invented by a self-taught person, Lyapko’s physiotherapeutic device was created by a reflexologist of the highest category. Unlike Kuznetsov’s applicator, which was made using textile fabric and plastic plates, Lyapko’s massage device is made of rubber and metal. The Lyapko applicator needles are made of nickel, copper and silver, which provides not only a mechanical effect on nerve endings, but also acupuncture stimulation of energy points to stimulate the body.

Applicator Lyapko

The use of Lyapko's physiotherapeutic device is indicated for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, neuroses, insomnia, disorders of the endocrine system, as well as during breastfeeding as a method of normalizing the production of breast milk.

During treatment with the Lyapko applicator, it was noticed that the tissues and skin were saturated with ions of useful microelements due to intense galvanic effects. It has been recorded that even the chemical composition of the body’s physiological fluids can change after procedures with a unique massage device.

Regular use of the Lyapko applicator restores skin tone and healthy appearance, reduces severe tissue swelling, and increases turgor. The most powerful electrophysiological effect also activates the immune defense mechanism, healing the body as a whole and having a beneficial effect on individual areas affected by cellulite.

Interestingly, even in ancient India, healers used rugs with silver needles to treat seizures, hysteria and chronic melancholy. The servants gave the fading beauties a special massage using wooden plates with protruding silver needles. Such manipulations, according to doctors, helped prolong youth and restore skin tone.

How to use the applicator correctly

You need to use it carefully and carefully, and monitor your well-being. To get maximum benefit and results, you should follow the recommendations:

It is better to lie or sit on the mat, but do not press it against the skin, as this is uncomfortable and painful.
Greater efficiency can be obtained if the procedure is carried out after steaming in a bath or shower. You can also lubricate problem areas with anti-cellulite cream or oil.
You should not only lie on the surface, but roll over, creating massage movements.
The duration of the procedure is 10 - 15 minutes.
After a massage, you should not use active products such as citrus oils or warming creams, as the skin is already irritated. Simple moisturizing products are great.
You need to carry out procedures on the Kuznetsov applicator every day. If the first time is too painful, then they can be alternated with a regular manual massage.
It is better to lie on the applicator a couple of hours after eating, and also after that you do not need to eat for 2 - 3 hours, since the main blood supply is directed to problem areas. Nutrients from food will remain unused, which will contribute to weight gain.
Each course should consist of 12 - 15 procedures, depending on the degree of neglect of cellulite.

Advantages

The undeniable advantages of the applicator include:

ease and accessibility of use;
low cost;
efficiency;
small size, fits in any convenient place;
affects the entire desired area;
safe, as the spikes do not scratch or injure.

Flaws

However, there are certain disadvantages. These include the fact that it should not be applied to damaged areas of the skin, and in order to avoid injury, it should not be used on the road. For some people, the procedure may be too sensitive, depending on the extent of cellulite.

Piercing elements of the Kuznetsov applicator

In addition, doctors warn that not enough research has been conducted on the effectiveness of Kuznetsov's applicator. Moreover, it can cause harm, because there are different points on the body. Exposure to some can have extremely negative effects on human health. And the area of the mat does not allow you to regulate the pressure on useful and harmful points.

Types of applicators

Massage devices by Kuznetsov and Lyapko are made in several modifications, which is due to their purpose for a more pronounced therapeutic effect on various areas of the human body.

Types of Kuznetsov applicator:

needle. Made in the form of a belt with needle modules. Designed for the prevention and treatment of disorders in the endocrine system and relieving muscle and joint tension. It can be effectively used as a massage device to combat cellulite on the buttocks, thighs and abdomen;
Tibetan applicator. It is a flat mat with more modules than a needle massager. Treatments using the Tibetan applicator are extremely effective for improving blood flow and relieving muscle pain after injuries and extreme stress. The impact of the Tibetan Kuznetsov applicator on areas affected by cellulite allows you to naturally increase skin turgor and make your figure more toned;
roller with a comfortable ergonomic handle. It is one of the varieties of the Tibetan applicator and is used to eliminate pain in the neck and treat cervical osteochondrosis. Thanks to the convenient shape of the roller, it can be used to perform anti-cellulite massage of all areas prone to the appearance of “orange peel”;
Kuznetsov applicator with magnets. An improved version of the massage device is also made in the form of a mat, but the effectiveness of the device is greatly increased by a magnetic field, which has a beneficial effect on diseases of the nervous system. In addition, Kuznetsov’s magnetic applicator has a beneficial effect on the subcutaneous fat layer, removing excess moisture from fat cells and stimulating lymphatic flow.

Lyapko’s physiotherapeutic devices have the same principle of operation and differ only in shape, size and distance between the needles. The use of several massagers allows you to most effectively work on the areas of the body that need therapeutic effects.

Anti-cellulite manipulations using Lyapko rollers and mats can with great success replace expensive hardware cosmetology procedures offered by beauty salons.

Types of Lyapko applicators:

rug with needle spikes. It is successfully used to treat osteochondrosis, eliminate pain in the muscles of the back, lower back and shoulder girdle, as well as to get rid of edema and effectively combat cellulite;
rollers. This applicator is great for working out your legs, thighs, buttocks and stomach. With regular use, it is possible to get rid of not only the “orange peel”, but also unsightly sagging skin, uneven color and decreased tone. In addition, the roller is very convenient for working on the lower thoracic spine, shoulders, forearms, legs and feet.
belt. Due to this form of use of the physiotherapy device, this type of applicator is usually recommended for use in the lumbar area or in the abdominal wall area. But the belt can also be used for anti-cellulite massage of the buttocks and thighs, which helps combat structural changes in the subcutaneous fat layer;
Lyapko applicator in the form of a tape. Made of special elastic material, which ensures a gentle effect on the skin. The advantage of using such an applicator is that it can be used to treat a larger area of coverage, while during the massage the patient can move freely and not remain in a static state. Lyapko tape is absolutely indispensable for combating cellulite on the upper and lower extremities of the body;
insoles with acupuncture effects on special points located on the foot. This type of the famous applicator allows not only to launch the processes of normalization of metabolism and immune improvement in the body, but also to have a beneficial effect on the course of a number of chronic diseases, including as a replacement for specific medical equipment or certain medications.

Types of rugs

Classic applicator. This is a rectangular mat or device with ties (belt). Sometimes plastic roundels are sold separately - you need to sew them onto the fabric yourself. The mats are sold in different sizes; the largest one is suitable for combating cellulite - 35 by 46 cm.

The distance between the spiked elements is also different: 3.5; 4.9; 5.6; 6; 7 mm. The shorter the distance, the softer the impact. For people with a low pain threshold and sensitive skin, the first two options are suitable.

"Tibetan" applicator. A modification with double spikes and a larger area than the classic one - 41 by 60 cm. This is already a whole carpet, which is also called a yoga mat. The Tibetan applicator is considered an improved model. Discs with needles come in different colors:

Green – for those with thin skin and a low pain threshold;
Blue – for a deeper impact;
Red – for skin with low sensitivity.

Contraindications

Despite the long list of advantages of using massage devices by Kuznetsov and Lyapko, you should also pay attention to the harm that doctors have proven from the effects of applicators in some cases.

Diseases for which needle applicator therapy cannot be used:

psychosomatic disorders;
infectious infection;
the presence of inflamed moles and papillomas;
oncology;
thrombophlebitis;
dermatitis;
abrasions and hematomas on the skin;
violation of the integrity of the skin;

In rare cases, when using massage applicators, severe pain and the appearance of small bruises, swelling and redness on the skin are observed.

Restrictions on use

Doctors are categorically against carrying out anti-cellulite procedures with the device in question at elevated body temperatures, the first or already pronounced signs of acute respiratory viral infections, exacerbation of chronic pathologies of any localization. If you have a history of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, kidneys and reproductive system, then you should consult your doctor about the advisability of using the Kuznetsov applicator.

The use of applicators in the fight against cellulite

Kuznetsov and Lyapko developed several types of massage devices with which you can successfully get rid of cellulite and heal the body. The use of each of them has some nuances.

Anti-cellulite treatments using a mat applicator

A mat with needle modules should be laid out on a flat, hard surface, preferably on the floor or on a special massage table. After this, you should lie on the applicator with your stomach or buttocks, and then relax your muscles.

It is extremely effective to use the Kuznetsov or Lyapko applicator in conjunction with the use of anti-cellulite creams and gels, since the impact of the needle modules of the massage device normalizes blood flow and facilitates the penetration of medicinal compounds into the deeper layers of the skin.

Manipulations using an elastic belt

This type of applicator allows you to successfully fight not only the manifestations of cellulite, but also excess weight. The reason for this process is that the needle applicator acts on active points, stimulates them and greatly increases blood circulation. Together with the blood flow, the tissues begin to receive more nutrients and oxygen, causing excess fluid to leave the body along with toxins and ballast substances from the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, excess weight begins to decrease, and the appearance of cellulite is significantly reduced.

The spiked belt must be secured with an elastic bandage on problem areas, which most often are the stomach, thighs and buttocks. Before fixing the belt, you can apply a pharmacy or home remedy to the area of skin prone to cellulite to increase skin elasticity.

Massage using a Lyapko roller

To achieve a greater effect from the massage, experts advise carrying out the procedure after a warm shower and applying anti-cellulite products with a high degree of penetration to the affected areas. After this, using a roller with needle-shaped protrusions, it is necessary to work on all areas of the body that are subject to structural changes.

Before carrying out the procedure, it is recommended to treat the roller with a disinfectant that does not contain chlorine. Lysoformin, which is sold in pharmacies without a prescription, is excellent for this purpose.

The impact of the applicator at the beginning of the procedure should be extremely light so that the skin gets used to the tingling sensation. Then you should increase the pressure, tracking your own sensations and carefully observing the reaction of the skin. Slight redness is a normal skin response to physiological influences and galvanic processes.

Application of Lyapko elastic tape

Truly magical Lyapko tape is able to get rid of cellulite and excess volume in those places where it is most difficult to get rid of sagging skin and structural changes in the subcutaneous fat layer. The upper and lower extremities of the body, unfortunately, are also susceptible to the appearance of “orange peel”, in the fight against which the massage applicator in the form of a tape has proven itself to be excellent.

Elastic tape should be used only on clean skin, onto which you can apply a nourishing cream or anti-cellulite product that warms the tissue and stimulates metabolic processes in the tissue. The applicator must be firmly fixed on the selected limb, monitoring your own sensations and adjusting the level of tension of the elastic band. Tingling is a normal reaction to the therapeutic effects of the applicator.

Useful properties of the Kuznetsov applicator for cellulite

The basis of the action of the applicator is reflexology.
The device is applied for different periods of time to the affected areas of the body with a certain pressure. The main cause of cellulite is fluid stagnation in fat cells. They increase, microcirculation in tissues is disrupted. Waste products are not excreted, and fatty “tubercles” appear.

The spikes of the Kuznetsov applicator dig into the skin and stimulate blood flow. By carrying oxygen throughout the tissues, the blood “sweeps away” fat deposits, cholesterol plaques, salts, toxins, and waste along the way. This cleanses the blood vessels, starts the process of skin renewal and regeneration, and restores the elasticity of the capillaries.

For weight loss, an applicator is used as one of the methods of influencing fat deposits. The Kuznetsov applicator should not be considered a panacea for all diseases. In the case of cellulite, this device alone is clearly not enough to achieve a lasting effect. It is necessary to combine its use with proper nutrition and moderate physical activity.

The iplicator helps to further massage problem areas. This local effect helps tighten and smooth the skin during and after weight loss. In addition, flabby muscles “come to life” from the touch of needles, cellular metabolism accelerates, which also helps eliminate the “orange peel”.

After using the Kuznetsov anti-cellulite applicator, the skin becomes smoother, toned and elastic. It is very useful to use the device in combination with physical activity. After training, it is extremely pleasant to relax your muscles, relieve tension, tightness, and soreness. This is where the applicator helps.

It is believed that this device can help eliminate stretch marks. However, the applicator does not affect the rate of fat burning. Also, massage spikes do not “squeeze” fat out of tissues, as some people mistakenly believe.

The use of an applicator provides a mainly cosmetic effect. In addition, the device calms the nervous system, protects it from stress, which is often associated with the process of losing weight.

Necessary actions before starting an anti-cellulite therapy session

Remember that massage procedures using reflexology applicators cannot be performed immediately after eating. After eating, at least two hours should pass.
Before massage procedures, it is extremely useful to empty the bladder and intestines.
After performing anti-cellulite massage manipulations, blood flow in the body increases many times over. The circulatory system supplies oxygen in increased quantities to all organs and tissues, due to this the body gets rid of waste and toxins. Therefore, doctors strongly recommend not eating for an hour after the end of the treatment session.
Observe the temperature regime in the room where you intend to conduct a reflexology session. The room should not be too hot, as this may reduce the effect of the procedure. In the same case, if the temperature in the room is too low, the body will have to be distracted by maintaining the optimal functioning of organs and systems, which also neutralizes the expected effect.
Try to provide a constant flow of fresh air in the room.

Terms of use

Procedures using Kuznetsov’s device must be carried out every day until a positive result is achieved. This often takes two to four weeks.

Experts strongly advise adhering to the following recommendations:

You should eat food no later than an hour before the start of reflexology.
Before the session, you should not overcool the skin (take a cold shower, etc.).
If the patient experiences severe discomfort while using the device, the procedure must be stopped immediately.
If the skin is highly sensitive, the device is applied to clothing.

General rules for massage manipulations

On the day of the start of treatment procedures, exposure to the applicator should not last longer than 10 minutes. On the second day, you need to increase the procedure time by 5 minutes. In subsequent days, you should add 5 minutes to each anti-cellulite massage session, gradually achieving a procedure duration of at least 40 minutes.

With each anti-cellulite massage session, the effect on problem areas will increase and will eventually reach maximum levels. The procedures must be carried out every day for a month, then a two-week break should be taken.

The effect of the procedures will increase many times over if they are performed in combination with nutritional correction and increased physical activity. Swimming or water aerobics are great for physical education. A comprehensive effect on excess weight and the appearance of cellulite will significantly reduce treatment time.

Inexpensive and accessible to every woman, Kuznetsova and Lyapko applicators have been helping out generations of women for more than a century, providing an anti-cellulite effect comparable only to expensive salon procedures or hard-to-find acupressure.

Reviews about the use of the Kuznetsov applicator for cellulite

Ekaterina T .: The Kuznetsov applicator was recommended to me by my massage therapist. And I had already forgotten about such a thing, although my mother had it a long time ago. It says right in the instructions that it helps against cellulite. For the stomach and butt this is an excellent method, although it hurts at first, but with the legs from behind it just hurts terribly! I sat for a minute and cried. Overall I'm happy with the rug. Plus, it warms the skin well. The downside is that red dots remain on the skin.
Oksana V .: If someone cannot lie down on the applicator, there is a life hack - put a thin cotton fabric on top. This helped me get used to it, now I lie and sit on it calmly. It's very relaxing, you can even fall asleep. After a couple of minutes it doesn't hurt anymore.

The mechanism of action of the Kuznetsov anti-cellulite applicator

Kuznetsov's applicator acts on the upper layers of the skin, where the main part of the biologically active points is concentrated. The massager specifically affects them, as a result of which the physiological activity of the body improves and the appearance of cellulite decreases.

The effect of treatment is observed due to pressure on the acupuncture zones. The procedure is similar in effect to acupressure and acupuncture.

The sharp spikes of the applicator stimulate nerve fibers. When exposed to them in the body:

Metabolic processes are activated.
Blood circulation in the vessels improves.
Cells receive adequate oxygen nutrition.
Restorative processes are taking place.
The sensitivity of the peripheral system increases.
The psychological state is normalized.
The immune system is strengthened.
Hormonal levels stabilize.
There is an active burning of subcutaneous fat deposits.

After using the applicator invented by Kuznetsov, designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite, severe pain may occur, the affected area turns red, and bruises form. Sometimes after a session you feel weak and dizzy.

Options for using the Kuznetsov device

Kuznetsov's device can help in the treatment of cellulite. However, it must be used correctly. Otherwise, side effects may occur that can harm the body.

Applications with the Kuznetsov device should be done in combination with other methods of combating cellulite. Only in this case will they be quite effective.

Rules of application

It is very important to follow all the rules when using the Kuznetsov applicator for cellulite. There are quite a lot of them, and they are very important.

Rules for use against cellulite

Rules for using the Kuznetsov anti-cellulite applicator:

First of all, you need to choose a suitable applicator. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the skin. For sensitive skin, a green mat is preferable, while for normal skin, a blue mat is suitable.
You also need to make sure that there are no contraindications for this remedy. To do this, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
Before using such a mat, it is advisable to prepare the skin. To do this, you need to use a contrast shower, as well as an anti-cellulite scrub.
You should not apply applications immediately after eating. At least an hour should pass between such a procedure and eating.
The abdominal area needs to be treated especially carefully. This is where the skin is most sensitive.
Such procedures can be done no more often than every other day. In this case, the minimum course should be two weeks.
The duration of sessions should be increased gradually. You need to start with fifteen minutes, and gradually increase this time to an hour.
After such a procedure, the skin is especially sensitive. Therefore, after it, you cannot use anti-cellulite warming creams and wraps on the same day. It is also not worth scrubbing the skin after applications.
If dizziness, severe pain, nausea or other serious signs of discomfort occur, you should stop using the mat.
After the procedure, it is important to soothe the skin. To do this, you can use aloe, which will not only moisturize the skin and accelerate tissue regeneration, but will also have a number of effects useful for combating cellulite.

You also need to understand that you cannot put too much pressure on such a rug. Failure to do so may pierce the skin or leave bruises.

Preparation for use

In order for the effect of such a rug to be as pronounced as possible, you need to prepare properly. Preparation includes several stages.

Before such a procedure, you should not eat for one hour.
It is advisable to perform a set of exercises before making applications. In this case, the procedures will be more effective. In addition, they will eliminate pain after training.
Then you need to take a shower and scrub your skin. You can use homemade coffee, honey or salt scrubs.
Then you need to dry the skin dry.

After this, you can proceed to the procedures. You can also use special massage oil.

Methods for pressing the applicator

The applicator should fit snugly to the body. Only in this case will its effect be strong enough. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right method to use it.

There are many options for pressing the applicator to the body. And they are all equally effective.

Ways to press the applicator to the body:

Pressing using your body weight is the easiest way to use the applicator. After all, in this case you will not have to perform any special manipulations. You just need to place a mat under the problem area and lie on it. In this case, the size of the mat usually allows you to simultaneously work on the hips and buttocks.
You can also simply press the plates with needles against the body with your hands. In this case, the mat is simply applied to the selected area and pressed with the required force. In this way, you can regulate the pressure of the needles on the body. This will also allow you to train your arms.
Another option is to press the applicator with an elastic belt. This treatment option is suitable for the waist and abdomen. To do this, you need to apply the device to the desired area and secure it with a neoprene sports belt. During this procedure, you need to make a minimum of movement so that the needles do not scratch the skin.
You can also separate the plates with needles from the base, apply them to the desired areas and secure with a bandage. Thus, it is best to fight cellulite on the inner thighs.

Usage time

The belt is convenient because it can be used almost any time. This will allow you to treat cellulite without interrupting your work.

Options for using the belt:

You can specifically choose the time to use this belt. It could be morning, afternoon or evening. In this case, you can properly prepare for the procedure, increasing its effectiveness.
It is also possible not to allocate separate time for such procedures. For example, you can fight orange peel on your buttocks by placing the Kuznetsov applicator on your work chair.
You can use the applicator while sleeping. In this case, the mat is spread under the hips and buttocks. After this, you can go to bed on it.

Be sure to read: How to really lose weight in 2 days without harm to your health?

The timing of such procedures will depend on the person’s pain threshold. Some people can endure applications for more than an hour, while for others fifteen minutes is enough.

The most effective way

If you just put the applicator under the buttocks, of course there will be an effect. However, in this case its severity may be insufficient. Therefore, it is advisable to devote at least half an hour to this procedure. This is enough to complete the required complex.

Method of using the Kuznetsov rug:

Prepare the room. Open the windows to allow oxygen into the room. Place the rug on the floor. Make room so you can study comfortably.
Then you need to take a relaxing shower. You can enhance the effect of the procedure by using special anti-cellulite products. These can be scrubs, gels, etc. After a shower, you need to dry your skin.
Now you can lie on the mat with the front of your thighs and stomach. This must be done very slowly and carefully, gradually getting used to the effects of the needle elements.
First, you need to lie quietly on the mat for 5-10 minutes. When the unpleasant sensations are replaced by a feeling of warmth spreading throughout the body, you can proceed to the next stage.
Start slowly rolling from one side to the other. Continue for ten minutes.
After this, you can roll onto your back. In this case, it is necessary to lie down so that the impact of the needle parts is directed towards the buttocks and thighs.
You need to lie in this position for 5-10 minutes.
After this, you can begin to roll from side to side. Continue the exercise for fifteen minutes.

With the help of such a complex you can work out all areas of the body. By performing such exercises every other day, you can cope with cellulite within a month.

Side effects

This applicator has quite an active effect on the body. Therefore, a number of side effects may occur during its use. They usually occur when the Kuznetsov applicator is used incorrectly or too actively.

Side effects from using the applicator:

Damage to the skin. These may be bruises, abrasions or scratches.
Unpleasant painful sensations. They are especially pronounced in the early stages of using the device.
Increased blood pressure and headaches.
Dizziness and nausea.
Skin irritation.
Exacerbation of certain diseases.

These side effects may be dangerous. Therefore, if they occur, you should stop using the device and consult a doctor.

Possible adverse reactions

Some people complain of swelling and redness in the areas where the massager is applied, as well as pinpoint subcutaneous hemorrhages and hematomas. Usually this disappears on its own, and after just a few procedures the skin stops reacting so sharply to the effects of plastic spikes.

If hemorrhages are observed constantly, then it is worth visiting a doctor and checking the level of blood clotting - this indicator may be reduced and not manifest itself in any way during the normal rhythm of life.

Dizziness, headaches, nausea, and heart palpitations may occur. In this case, you need to reduce the time of the procedure or completely abandon it and seek help from a cardiologist - such symptoms indicate problems in the functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Acute pain when the applicator touches the body is not a side effect. If it is impossible to tolerate it, then you should begin a course of manipulations in clothing, and after getting used to the effects of thorns, gradually undress.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Kuznetsov rug

Like all products, the Kuznetsov rug has its pros and cons.

pros	Minuses

Does not damage the skin.	Do not use if the skin is damaged.
Convenient to use.	The presence of side effects, including pain.
The device is multifunctional, which allows it to be used not only to eliminate cellulite, but also to relieve tension and eliminate muscle spasms.	The device does not act on a specific point, but on the entire affected area.
Can be used regardless of the time of day.	Doctors are skeptical about his positive actions.
Affordability.	Ineffective without additional procedures.

Duration of use for visible results

The applicator invented by Kuznetsov is used in courses of 12-15 regular sessions. The exact number of procedures to completely get rid of cellulite will be determined by a cosmetologist in the salon after assessing the degree of damage to the figure.

Massage with a mat is carried out every day for an average of 5-15 minutes. If there is no pain, an increase of 10 minutes is allowed.

If severe pain occurs from the applicator, you should immediately interrupt the procedure - the effectiveness will be zero.

There is a one-week break between repeated courses. In the absence of a pause, the skin gets used to the action of the prickly needles of Ivan Kuznetsov’s applicator, and the effectiveness of the effect on cellulite and the reflexology procedure is reduced to zero.
