Mettler, 6D Action device (includes plastic cups and roller applicator)

What's old is new again. Like really new and really innovative. Cupping, an alternative medicine practice associated with acupuncture since around the 1500's, has been brought into the 21st century via the revolutionary 6D Action Device from Mettler. During a cupping treatment, specially designed cups are applied to the skin and a vacuum is created that causes the skin to rise and redden. This provides increased circulation to the area, much like a deep-tissue massage and potentially offers a whole host of healing benefits. Those benefits can include flushing out built-up toxins through the lymphatic system, relieving chronic muscle soreness, increasing circulation, reducing scarring, promoting cell repair, reducing cellulite and helping with migraines, rheumatism and fatigue. Making the 6D unique is that it offers both pulsating and continuous vacuum options. What makes it revolutionary is that just one device provides three application modalities that take on all those issues noted previously. Using the 6D you can choose between a pulsating technique (pulsation vacuum mode on the treated area), the lifting and twisting technique (continuous or pulsation vacuum mode on the treated area combined with lift and twist), or the gliding technique (continuous or pulsation vacuum mode on the treated area combined with gliding). Weighing less than 11 lbs., the 6D is easy to maneuver on a patient or from room-to-room, offering patients improved performance, better function and less pain. This 6D set features the main unit, the vacuum cable with filter, 6 sizes of plastic treatment heads, the roller treatment head with filter, power cable and fully illustrated instruction guide. The pulsation frequency can be set from 0.1 to 3 seconds. The 6d comes with a convenient carrying bag, enabling users to take pain relief on the go. Having a variation of cup sizes allows the 6D to target any size treatment area. Larger cups are suited for the back and shoulders, while smaller cups are better for the neck or face area. After treatment with the 6D, it is important to drink water to avoid dehydration. Cupping has also been shown to improve varicose veins, clear colon blockages, relieve indigestion and help resolve chronic muscle tightness and pain faster than massage therapy alone.
