Vacumed — Better Body Balance at VOS Dermatology Clinic, Gangnam Seoul

Overview

Vacumed in Seoul is a full-body circulation system developed jointly by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Alternating negative pressure applied to the lower body improves blood flow in the muscle tissue, helps balance the autonomic nervous system and speeds the removal of lactic acid, waste products and inflammatory cells from the muscles.

At VOS Dermatology in Gangnam it is part of the anti-aging and body-balance programme, used for swelling, cellulite and recovery — and its effect is enhanced when combined with DermIOcare (negative ions against free radicals) and SPM lymphatic massage. It is a comfortable 30-minute session lying down; results vary from person to person.

How it works

What Vacumed does in the skin

01Maximizing Blood and Lymphatic Circulation through Alternating Pressure

Vacumed, jointly developed by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), is a full-body circulation system that uses pressure technology to improve blood circulation, peripheral vascular conditions, and whole-body edema as part of anti-aging treatment. By applying negative pressure to the lower body, it improves blood flow in muscle tissue and surrounding areas, helping balance the autonomic nervous system and overall body function. It aids in recovery by quickly removing lactic acid, waste products, and inflammatory cells from muscles. This anti-aging treatment, Vacumed, helps achieve beautiful body lines and healthy skin through advanced circulation enhancement and cellulite improvement! The effects of Vacumed become even more pronounced when combined with DermIOcare, which supplies negative ions to reduce aging-causing free radicals, and SPM, which activates lymphatic vessels through combined suction and low-pressure massage.
