Cellulite is a structural disorder in the subcutaneous fat layer that disrupts microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. In simple words, it can be called stagnation in the fat layer, leading to deformation and dystrophy.
Lyapko's massage therapy helps improve blood circulation in tissues, activates metabolic processes in cells, removes swelling of the extremities, increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin, reduces body weight and corrects the silhouette of the figure.
Essence and objectives
The healing mat has helped many people get rid of back and joint pain. It was intended for athletes who are prone to injury. Gradually, the fame of the healing device spread beyond the sports world, and it could be purchased at any pharmacy. Admirers of the applicator were attracted by the ease of use and the resulting effect. The inventor repeated that the thorns have an effect on certain points in the body.
The mat has a beneficial effect when:
- insomnia;
- pain in joints and muscles;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- colds (ARVI, flu);
- circulatory problems;
- weight loss issues.
What is an applicator?
This remedy was created in the Soviet Union by the folk healer and mathematician Kuznetsov. Initially, the device was intended to eliminate pain in the back, discomfort after injuries to the arms and legs, osteochondrosis and other pathologies. But now this mat is also used as an aid to combat extra pounds.
The applicator is a belt for the abdomen, neck or mat, which contains metal or plastic modules. It can have different sizes. The modules are spikes and can have different dimensions, lengths and placement intervals. Moreover, the spikes always have a similar shape. These modules are designed to accelerate blood flow and affect nerve endings.
Proper Use
How to use the Kuznetsov and Lyapko applicator to combat excess weight and cellulite?
The device comes in the form of a mat, a massage roller, insoles or a belt with plastic or metal needles. The type of applicator depends on which area needs to be affected. For example, for the stomach you need to give preference to a rug.
- The procedure should be carried out in a horizontal position, lying on the “thorns” with your back or stomach. Some say that to lose belly fat you need to hold the mat close to you for the duration of the session. However, it is inconvenient and painful. Just imagine standing for 15 minutes with a heavy applicator in your hands. Therefore, for comfort, you can use a belt or a “lying” position on your stomach.
- Do you relate to the problem area of the thigh? Not scary! The device must be placed on a flat surface, such as the floor. Next, lie down or sit on it in the place that needs to be corrected. Fat deposits on the thighs are classified as difficult to remove. But Kuznetsov’s anti-cellulite applicator, in combination with diet and exercise, will cope with the difficult task.
- Need to eliminate excess volume on your arms? This will be more difficult to do than for other parts of the body. The difficulty is that you can’t lie on your hands for a long time, and the procedure takes 15 minutes. For these purposes, you need to choose a belt that is securely fixed in the problem area and does not slip when moving.
The procedure will feel unpleasant at first, but it lasts for several minutes. After getting used to it, you can start rolling, thereby starting the fat burning process. The effect of the applicator on fat deposits is manifested through an intense massage, during which blood circulation is stimulated, thereby accelerating metabolism. To combat cellulite, you can use anti-cellulite cream before the procedure.
Those who have experienced this method of losing weight speak of undoubted benefits for the body. After a course of massage, a decrease in cellulite is noted, the tone of the skin and blood vessels increases, and problem areas are smoothed out. The first achievements are noticeable after 2 weeks of use.

Positive and negative side
pros
Kuznetsov’s applicator for losing weight and fighting cellulite, like all devices in this industry, has its advantages and disadvantages. Undoubted advantages:
- low price, resulting in the availability of the method;
- easy and understandable instructions;
- has no age limits;
- has a beneficial effect on the entire body.
Flaws
Unfortunately, the Lyapko rug also has its disadvantages:
- unpleasant stabbing sensations at the beginning of procedures;
- is not a panacea, that is, it is used as an additional measure to fitness and nutrition.
Contraindications
It is strictly forbidden for people to use the applicator when:
- dermatitis and other skin diseases;
- pregnancy;
- easy skin trauma;
- an abundance of moles;
- the presence of new growths in the area of application.
Others can use the mat without fear, but without overdoing it.
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.
The secret to losing weight
It is interesting that Kuznetsov highlighted weight loss as a side effect of his invention. He believed that a person losing weight before his eyes was sick with something other than osteochondrosis and therefore was losing weight.
However, the scientist soon found an explanation for this. Under the influence of an intense massage, blood begins to actively circulate in the body, as a result of which metabolism accelerates. As a result, excess fat is burned. A nice bonus was a toned figure and toned body. This is how the device gained unprecedented popularity and respect.
Fighting orange peel
Kuznetsov’s applicator has been actively used for cellulite among women. The most convenient type of device is a belt with spikes, since the areas most often “suffering” from fat deposits are the buttocks, thighs and legs.
The applicator is used by fixing it with an elastic bandage to problem areas. In the case of adjusting the buttocks, you can not attach the spikes to the skin, but simply sit on them. For example, when working at a computer, you do your tasks, and the belt eliminates unnecessary bulk.
In addition, manufacturers produce Lyapko massage rollers, which are very convenient for performing cellulite massage.
Kuznetsov's applicator against cellulite has gained wide popularity, since its effectiveness has been proven by entire generations of women. In addition, the device is an inexpensive weight loss method, which has made it even more famous.
Criticism of doctors
Medical experts do not have a unanimous opinion about the weight loss applicator. One group of doctors considers the device dangerous to health, since the destruction of fat cells in large quantities can lead to disruption in the endocrine system.
Their strong reasons against use:
- The human body has certain acupuncture points. Finding these same areas on the body is very difficult even for a specialist, let alone amateurs. The main danger lies in the fact that next to the “useful” points there are “harmful” ones, if you hit them you can significantly harm your health.
- Not everyone can tolerate discomfort during the procedure. Sellers claim that the pain will go away after the first session, but this is not the case. Yes, the skin will get used to the pain, but is it beneficial?
- In conclusion, experts ask a completely logical question: has research been conducted in this area of application? Even if there were tests, unfortunately, there is no detailed report on them. Inventor Kuznetsov always used the applicator to treat muscles and joints, but not for weight loss.
Modern medicine calls the device the “placebo effect” because people believe they are losing weight and it actually happens. That is, most often the “culprit” for this is ordinary self-hypnosis.
How to do anti-cellulite massage
In order for procedures using Lyapko applicators to bring maximum benefit without causing harm to the body, they must be carried out following certain rules:
- The last meal must be taken at least two hours before the start of the session. You should take an hour break between finishing it and eating. This is due to the fact that massage on a full stomach can disrupt the functioning of housing and communal services. After the end of the manipulation, the tissues continue to be intensively released from waste and toxins for some time;
- Procedures must be carried out in a well-ventilated area. The temperature should be comfortable. If the room is too hot or cold, the body turns on “defense” mechanisms. Efforts to warm (or cool) will significantly reduce the effectiveness of therapy;
- Before the massage, empty your intestines and bladder well;
- The duration of sessions should be increased gradually. The first lasts no longer than 10 minutes, then the time increases daily by 5 minutes until it reaches 40 minutes. This way the body will get used to the effects of the needles and the person will not experience severe discomfort.
