It is one of the more approachable machines — you follow set movement patterns over the area. Most people are confident after the included training and a little practice.

Can it cause bruising?

Used correctly, vacuum therapy is comfortable and shouldn’t bruise, though some redness is normal. Avoid clients who bruise very easily or have fragile veins in the area, and your training will cover the right suction levels.

Standalone service or add-on?

Both — and that is its strength. Market the glute lift as a service in its own right, and use vacuum therapy as a results-boosting add-on after cavitation or fat freezing. One affordable machine, two ways to earn.

How many sessions do clients need?

Best results come from a course, with top-ups to maintain the shape. Selling it as a course gives clients lasting results and gives you regular rebookings.

Vacuum Therapy

Vacuum therapy uses gentle suction to lift and shape the body, boost circulation, and give the glutes a natural, non-surgical lift. It is a popular, easy-to-learn treatment that adds variety — and a sought-after "bum lift" service — to a small salon or studio.

Best known for

Vacuum therapy uses cups that gently suction the skin and tissue, lifting and mobilising the area. On the glutes, a course of treatments gives a rounder, lifted look that clients love — the “non-surgical bum lift” that has become hugely popular. On the body and face, the same suction boosts circulation and helps move lymphatic fluid, which supports other contouring work.

It is a comfortable, even enjoyable treatment, a bit like a deep massage, with no downtime. It is also one of the easier machines to learn, making it a confident addition for someone building up their treatment menu.

For your business, vacuum therapy is versatile and affordable: a sought-after glute-lift service in its own right, and a useful add-on that improves results when paired with cavitation, fat freezing or lymphatic drainage.

How a session works

What happens in a session

Consultation

Discuss the goal — a glute lift, shaping, or circulation — and take a "before" photo for lift treatments.

Apply oil or cream

A glide medium lets the cups move smoothly over the skin without pinching.

Work the area

Move the suction cups over the area in set patterns, lifting and mobilising the tissue. The client feels a firm, pleasant pull.

Finish & rebook

No downtime. Explain that a course builds the best, longest-lasting shape, and book the next session.

FAQ

Questions people ask about vacuum therapy

Yes, within reason. A course of vacuum therapy gives a visibly rounder, lifted, shapelier look that clients love — but it is a natural enhancement, not surgery, and best maintained with regular sessions. Be honest about that and clients are delighted.
