If you’re considering trying the GlowFIT Cellulite Massager, you might be wondering about possible side effects like bruising. While it may sound alarming at first, this is a common and temporary reaction that many users experience, especially during the first few uses. In this article, we’ll explain why bruising can happen, how to reduce it, and why vacuum therapy remains one of the best non-invasive methods to fight cellulite—right from the comfort of your home.
What Is Vacuum Therapy and How Does It Work?
The GlowFIT Cellulite Massager uses vacuum therapy, a clinically backed treatment originally used in professional beauty clinics. It works by applying suction to the skin and underlying tissues, stimulating blood flow and mobilizing fat deposits, which helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and improves skin firmness. Vacuum therapy is non-invasive, painless, and requires zero recovery time, making it an ideal alternative to costly salon treatments.
Why You May Experience Mild Bruising
Some users report mild bruising during their initial treatments, especially if they have sensitive skin or use the device on a high intensity setting. This is completely normal and generally fades within a few days.
According to experts, bruising from vacuum therapy is typically caused by:
-
Increased blood circulation to the area
-
Micro-capillary breakage due to suction pressure
-
Skin adjusting to the new stimulation
Good to know: These marks are not harmful and indicate that the device is working to stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage.
How to Reduce Bruising:
-
Start on the lowest intensity setting
-
Limit treatment time (max 15 minutes) during your first few sessions
-
Avoid using the massager on the same area multiple times a day
-
Keep skin hydrated by drinking a lot of water between treatments
-
Use Vitamine K Creams to reducre bruises after treatment
- If bruising appears too intense, allow a few days between treatments to give your skin time to recover
