Unterdruckbehandlung sowie eine Nadelbehandlung eine hochgradige Sensibilisierung der behandelten Körperpartie bewirkt.The invention differs from the prior art in that a combined vacuum treatment or negative pressure treatment as well as a needle treatment a high degree of sensitization the treated part of the body.

Der Unterdruck kommt dadurch voll zur Wirkung, daß zwischen den Spitzen der Nadeln und der Haut der zu behandelnden Körperpartie ein Spalt freibleibtThe negative pressure comes into full effect that between the tips of the needles and Skin of the part of the body to be treated remains a gap

Bei einem Amputationsstumpf ergibt sich dadurch eine gleichmäßige Sensibilisierung, daß die Unterdruckschale eine Manschette zum Aufsetzen auf einen Amputationsstumpf aufweist.In the case of an amputation stump, there is a uniform sensitization that the Vacuum cup has a cuff to be placed on an amputation stump.

Die Abdichtung der Unterdruckschale wird dadurch verbessert, daß ein die Manschette abschließender Dichtkragen vorgesehen ist.The sealing of the vacuum cup is improved in that a sealing the cuff Sealing collar is provided.

Zur Vergrößerung der Brüste schlägt die Erfindung vor, daß zwei Unterdruckschalen in ein um den Oberkörper zu legendes Band eingesetzt sind. Das Band mit den Unterdruckschalen wird ähnlich wie ein Büstenhalter angelegt. Durch die Unterdruckwirkung wird die Haut an die Nadeln angesaugt, so daß eine Sensibilisierung der Brüste erfolgt. Damit läßt sich eine Vergrößerung derselben erzielen.To enlarge the breasts, the invention proposes that two vacuum cups in one the upper body tape to be placed is inserted. The tape with the vacuum cups will be similar to put on a bra. Due to the negative pressure effect, the skin is sucked into the needles, so that breasts become sensitive. This can be used to enlarge them.
