Body Sculpting
Vacuum Therapy Clarkson
A rhythmic suction massage that gets circulation and lymphatic drainage moving, a genuinely relaxing way to support smoother-looking skin.
How It Works
What Is Vacuum Therapy?
Vacuum therapy uses a handheld device to draw the skin and the tissue just beneath it upward with gentle suction, then release it, in a steady, rhythmic pattern across the treatment area. That rolling motion is designed to stimulate blood flow and encourage the lymphatic system to drain more efficiently. That's the same system responsible for clearing excess fluid and waste from your tissue.
Better circulation and lymphatic movement in an area can help smooth out the dimpled, uneven texture associated with cellulite, since that texture is partly linked to how fluid and connective tissue sit under the skin. It's a mechanical, physical treatment rather than one that heats or breaks down fat, which is what makes it such a gentle, low-impact option.
We'll always be upfront about what vacuum therapy can and can't do. It's a genuinely useful treatment for circulation, drainage and skin texture, but it isn't a fat-loss or body-contouring treatment on its own. If reducing stubborn fat is your main goal, we'll point you toward something better suited to that during your consultation.
Who It Suits
What It Treats
Vacuum therapy is the treatment we most often recommend for clients dealing with cellulite on the thighs, hips or elsewhere on the body. It won't erase texture entirely, but as part of a regular course it can help the skin in that area look and feel smoother over time. It also suits anyone who simply wants to support their circulation and lymphatic drainage as part of an ongoing skin and body care routine.
Because it works differently to heat-based or fat-targeting treatments, vacuum therapy is often paired with RF skin tightening Clarkson rather than used instead of it. The two approach the skin from different angles, and combining them can round out a plan more than either would alone. We'll talk you through whether that combination makes sense for you specifically, rather than bundling treatments together by default.
Your Experience
What a Session Feels Like
A session is calm and low-key. We move the vacuum device steadily over the treatment area, and most clients describe the sensation as a firm, kneading massage rather than anything sharp or painful. There's no anaesthetic, no needles, and nothing applied to the skin that needs to be washed off afterwards beyond a bit of massage oil or gel.
Because it works on circulation and drainage rather than triggering a one-off biological change, vacuum therapy is generally done as a course of sessions rather than a single treatment. We'll map out a realistic schedule for your skin and your goals when you come in, rather than putting you on a generic package.
Fei and the team will walk you through exactly what to expect before you commit to anything, so you always know what a course involves before you book it.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, it shouldn't. It feels like a firm, rhythmic massage as the device draws the skin and underlying tissue up and releases it again. Some people find it more intense than others, and pressure can always be adjusted, but it isn't a painful treatment. If anything feels uncomfortable during your session, just tell us and we'll adjust straight away.
