Vibrocompression impacts all skin layers, the hypodermis, and muscles, enhancing microcirculation through momentary compression and lifting.
It strengthens blood vessel walls, reduces permeability, activates the lymphatic system, accelerates toxin removal, and improves cellular metabolism and tissue health.
The bio-mechanics of vibrocompression by spheres (VBS)
Human skin has numerous receptors. They react to various external physical impacts such as a touch, pressure, vibration as well as light.
Vibrocompression with spheres, unlike other techniques, activates the maximum number of mechanoreceptors due to multidirectional effects on tissues.
During gentle techniques, exteroreceptors (pain, temperature - cold and warm receptors) are stimulated: then proprioceptors of muscles, tendons, joint capsules, etc., are affected.
Strong techniques, including vibrational massage, influence the receptors of blood vessels: baroreceptors signal blood pressure changes; chemoreceptors signal blood chemical composition and ion balance.

PIEZO channels play a pivotal role in how skin cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli.
“Hardware mechanotherapy in aesthetic medicine: effects of mechanical stress in the skin and prospects for their use in modern times” By Hernandez Elena Izyaslavovna.Candidate of Biological Sciences, Editor-in-Chief of the Cosmetics and Medicine Publishing House; Parpaite T., Coste B. Piezo channels. Current Biology 2017: 27(7): R243-R258.
External force stretches the cell membrane, causing PIEZO channels—normally closed—to open and allow ions like Ca²⁺ and Na⁺ to enter.
Electrical shift
As positive ions flow in, the inner membrane charge quickly flips from negative to positive, creating a brief depolarization event.
Nerve impulse
This localized depolarization initiates a wave-like signal along the afferent nerve fiber. The impulse travels in one direction toward the central nervous system.
Brain processing & response
The impulse reaches the central nervous system, which interprets the signal and sends commands via motor nerves. These signals direct skin cells—like fibroblasts, adipocytes, and keratinocytes—to adapt, ultimately reshaping the skin’s structure.
