10 best body massagers

Equipment for beauty and health

Once again, hearing the recommendations of specialists about the need for massage and an increase in motor load, people either dismiss them or promise to take care of themselves "from Monday." But taking the first step towards a healthier lifestyle is not so difficult, especially since today there is a huge range of electric massagers for kneading the muscles of the whole body. Their regular use helps to activate blood and lymph flow, eliminate muscle spasms and cellulite, increase musculocutaneous tone, etc. That is why people in reviews of this or that type of hardware massage say that after each session they feel better and look younger ...

However, there are no less negative reviews. They talk about the lack of results, or even about the deterioration of the condition, about the appearance of bruises on the body and pain in the spine, about overstated promises and dishonesty of manufacturers. Having thoroughly studied the information about the massagers, we came to the conclusion that the positive effect of their use is quite real, but the buyer is required to have a balanced approach to the choice of the device and its competent operation. So, you should refuse to buy a massage device if you have the following health problems:

hypertension, heart attack or stroke;
diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease;
acute pain in muscles and joints, skin inflammation;
any history of tumors.

The list is far from complete, therefore, people with any chronic ailments definitely need a consultation with a physician, at which it is necessary to discuss the possibility of using an electric massager on their own. And if the doctor does not mind massage, you need to find out what type of device he recommends and how often you can use it.

Next, you need to understand the classification of massagers. In order for the device to fully meet the assigned tasks, we recommend choosing it according to the key criteria:

type of exposure: roller, vibration, vacuum, ultrasonic, combined;
execution option: manual, in the form of a cape, belt, pillow or mattress;
the presence of additional functions: with a remote control, automatic programs, display, IR heating;
constructions: portable, stationary, outdoor, automobile;
power source: from a household or car electrical network, batteries, a rechargeable battery with the ability to recharge via a USB cable.

For our part, we tried to facilitate the choice for our readers by compiling a rating of the best massage machines for the body. We ran the ranking based on the percentage of positive to negative reviews, and also took into account the functionality of the model and the manufacturer's reputation.

Best Electric Handheld Massagers

The so-called passive massagers, which a person must manually activate, are losing their relevance, and at home they increasingly prefer to use active devices that operate from the mains. They are convenient, safe, fairly inexpensive, easy to operate and maintain. Massage movements are created by vibration and / or rolling of roller elements over the body. As a result, the blood rushes to the tissues, lymph flows better and toxins are removed, stagnation is eliminated, the consequences of an improper lifestyle are minimized - both external and internal.

4 CS Medica VibraPulsar CS-v1

Even a 10-minute self-massage is tiring if you have to hold a heavy vibrating machine in your hands. If it is assumed that an elderly person or a fragile girl will use the electric massager, you should pay attention to the model from the well-known company CS Medica VibraPulsar CS-v1 weighing only 870 g.Thanks to the lightness and the presence of automatic programs, the control of the massager does not cause any inconvenience, and the long handle allows you to independently stimulate all parts of the body, including the most difficult to access - the shoulder blades, lower back, back of the thighs, etc.

In addition to well-thought-out ergonomics, this device can be praised for a successful set of replaceable elastic rubber attachments: for relaxation, acupressure, working out sensitive areas and fighting cellulite. The reviews point to several more important advantages: ease of putting on and replacing nozzles, quality factor of the plastic from which the body is made, high-quality fitting of parts and "space" design. Another plus - the massager works quite quietly, so it is quite possible to do a massage and watch your favorite show or movie.

3 Bradex KZ 0060 (Relax & Tone)

This massager is marketed as a device for reducing body volume. And judging by the reviews, the effect of weight loss is really present, but only if you massage problem areas along with anti-cellulite agents, simultaneously adjusting nutrition and increasing motor activity. If you just need to smooth out stretch marks and cellulite, the massager turns out to be quite effective without an integrated approach, however, for this you need to turn to the services of a home "masseur" every day.

Its action is based on intense (up to 2500 rpm) vibration of the massage attachment, of which there are 4 pcs. One of them has a grainy surface and is designed for sanding heels. The second is equipped with 8 rollers and is needed to tone the muscles of the body. The third, flat, allows you to relieve fatigue and relax, and wavy - to cope with body fat. There is a stepless speed control and an additional attachment to protect the hair from winding when massaging the neck and shoulders. Comfortable weight (1 kg) and a comfortable rubberized handle ensure the comfort of the procedure.

2 Nozomi MH 103

We drew attention to this device for a reason - each site has several dozen reviews, and 90% of them are very positive. The names given to it by the owners themselves speak eloquently about the capabilities of the massager: "cellulite killer", "family masseur", "miracle club", etc. 9-12 thousand beats per minute.

The most important difference between the device and similar hand-held massagers is the built-in negative ion emitter lamp. Additional ionization has a good effect on the well-being and performance of a person, helps to slow down the aging process and speeds up metabolic processes. The device is quite heavy, it will be difficult for someone to operate it alone, but due to the weight it is not necessary to press on it. The device can massage various areas of the body: shoulder trapezoid, arms, legs (except for the popliteal cap), back (no more than 1 minute in the heart area).

1 Beurer MG100

The area of application of this massager is the shoulders, neck and back, and judging by the reviews, he works them out conscientiously. The device, better than many masters, warms up muscles with IR emitters and performs patting movements with two nozzles (2 types are provided in the kit). The intensity and nature of the impact are regulated by 5 speed and 4 massage modes, due to which the device can be used by owners of pampered skin. However, a powerful warm-up is guaranteed at high speeds, and the body should be prepared for them in stages.

The device looks impressive externally, its elements are built into the aluminum alloy case. Miniature women should take into account its impressive dimensions and weight (160x150x450 mm and 1740 g, respectively).However, it is not difficult to drive the massager over the body, since it is well balanced and has a sufficiently long non-slip handle, on which an adjustable loop is provided for a secure grip with a brush.

The best massagers with anti-cellulite effect

Neither young nor adult women are immune from the appearance of cellulite. However, if you catch yourself in time and resort to an effective massage, you can see in your own mirror reflection smooth and even skin without a hint of bumps and irregularities. To obtain the fastest result, we advise you to take a closer look at vacuum massagers - in comparison with manual vibration devices, they act more deeply and are able to correct the figure in a matter of weeks or even days. However, in order to avoid discomfort, be sure to take into account the presence of contraindications - vascular fragility, thrombosis, blood clotting disorders, etc.

3 Celluless MD

It is unrealistic to win in the struggle for harmony and beauty without an appropriate arsenal - each device and each means has its own separate function. However, the Celluless MD electric massager with a 2-in-1 attachment can easily replace several devices and reduce the time required for daily body care. The massage head consists of a vacuum dome with two built-in rollers. Thanks to this design, when the skin is pulled into the bowl, a roller massage is simultaneously performed, and its combination with the vacuum effect leads to the launch of a chain reaction: accelerating the exchange of fluids in the intercellular space, normalizing metabolic processes, tightening the skin and smoothing cellulite.

Users of the device are commendable: they like the ability to use both through the network and through the battery, which is recharged for 8 hours in a convenient adapter base. The vacuum pressure is adjustable in 3 levels with a button, as well as the vibration speed of the roller elements. From some reviews it follows that the massager is quite powerful, and the massage should be carried out with an anti-cellulite cream or oil, otherwise characteristic traces may remain.

2 Casada Cellumax CMK-126

This is the only vibration massager in this category, and it got into the rating of the best anti-cellulite devices thanks to its unique design in the form of a comma. Thanks to its unusual shape, the device is easy to hold in the hands and massage the body in the right place, be it back, thighs or abdomen. There are two removable attachments and an IR heating function, with the help of which you can shape your figure, gradually remove the "orange peel" and relieve muscle fatigue, or, conversely, tone them. At the same time, the massager delivers extremely pleasant sensations, and if the vibration frequency does not suit you, you can decrease or increase it using the control wheel.

Quite a lot of buyers remained with the high power of the massager, who, before buying it, came to the salon for a similar procedure. Of course, the effect of even the best device cannot be compared with a manual massage from a qualified specialist, but for home care this is a great option, and for the whole family and for a long time. The manufacturer demonstrates confidence that it will last a long time by providing a 3-year warranty - 1 year for repairs, and another 2 for free service.

1 VACU Expert Gesatone

The vacuum massager from the European company, which is considered one of the best manufacturers of beauty and health products, is an excellent solution for women who want to get rid of cellulite. Having supplemented their beauty diet with a 15-minute massage and minimal physical activity, they can expect an impressive effect after 3-4 procedures. The use of an electric device is safe and painless, as it has a smooth adjustment, is equipped with three functional attachments and allows you to create a strictly metered vacuum for each area of the body.

The manufacturer on the website and in the instructions took the trouble to explain all the subtleties of self-massage, honestly warned about contraindications, indicated all the necessary technical characteristics. The attentive and responsible approach was justified by numerous positive reviews: buyers note that the anti-cellulite effect becomes noticeable after about 5-7 sessions, and compare it with a salon LPG massage. Separately, they mention the convenience of operating the massager from a battery, but they complain that the night charging cycle is enough for only 1 session.

Best ultrasonic massagers

The effectiveness of ultrasonic massagers is explained by the ability of the human body to respond to high-frequency (over 20 kHz) sound waves in a certain way. Namely: destruction of fat cells, improvement of blood circulation, resorption of scars and adhesions, removal of excess fluid, etc. Naturally, as a result of these processes, a person not only feels better, but also looks much younger and more attractive. If earlier ultrasound massage was available only to visitors of beauty clinics, today everyone can resort to a wellness procedure at home.

3 Reton OUT-01

The lower the vibration frequency of the sound wave, the deeper it is able to penetrate into the body. Knowing this pattern, the specialists of the Russian NPO Reton have developed a unique apparatus for ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis, and it can be used both in outpatient and at home conditions. Today it is successfully used in many clinics of the Russian Federation, and an annotation to it was created by the leading physiotherapists of the country.

As befits a household device, the massager has minimal dimensions and weight, is super economical (consumes only 6 W) and is extremely easy to operate. But its capabilities are quite remarkable: with the help of the device, you can inject cosmetic and therapeutic agents deep into the skin in a non-invasive way, treat cellulite, stretch marks, and also relieve pain and inflammation in case of bruises, arthritis, osteochondrosis, gout and other ailments.

2 US MEDICA Velvet Skin

Although this device is intended by the manufacturer purely for cosmetic purposes, it is also actively used in home medicine, for example, for better absorption of medicinal ointments and creams. Ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 5 MHz, which form a massager of this model, cause the subcutaneous tissue to contract and unclench, the blood flows more intensively, and any means penetrate to a depth of 3 cm. The device can be used both on the body and on the face or neck, although the area is located the thyroid gland is best avoided after all. If the cosmetic preparations for the face are selected correctly, with the use of an ultrasound massager, the effect of a circular tightening is provided to you - this, at least, is what they say in the reviews.

For permanent maintenance of the result, massage should be done 1-2 times a week, but this is completely unproblematic, since the procedure is painless and lasts only 12 minutes. The device is wireless and does not require an electrical connection, which significantly expands the area of its application. It is powered by a 700 mAh battery with a charge time of 8-12 hours. The charger is included in the kit and is made in the form of a cup holder.

1 BioSonic 1130 Gezatone

Against the background of its large-sized counterparts, this massager with a length of just over 11 cm and weighing 260 g looks like a baby. But do not underestimate it, because the miniature device combines 3 most effective methods that are used by cosmetologists in salon weight loss programs: ultrasound cavitation (destruction of the fat layer by ultrasound), RF-lifting (strengthening the structural frame of the skin with radio waves) and IR heating. The manufacturer claims that this 3-in-1 combination helps to reduce body fat by 1 cm per session.

After reviewing the reviews, we came to the conclusion that such an impressive effect is possible, but subject to regular procedures lasting 30 minutes. - 10 min.for 1 problem zone (after 10 minutes the device turns off automatically). And to speed up the result, it is better to alternate functions according to an arbitrary scheme, for example, first turn on IR heating, then RF-lifting, and then ultrasound treatment. The massage is very easy to transfer, the most sensitive people feel only a slight vibration, however, its effect extends to several centimeters of the subcutaneous layer.
