Pressotherapy
A Revolutionary Aesthetic and Therapeutic Treatment
Pressotherapy is an aesthetic medicine treatment that uses air pressure to activate the lymphatic system and improve circulation throughout the body. This system is responsible for cleansing and defending the body, eliminating toxins and fats, and fighting germs, infections, and toxic substances.
The treatment is carried out with a pressotherapy machine, which consists of a wrap or cover where the patient is placed, and an air compressor system that controls the air pressure. This cover exerts controlled and personalized pressure on different parts of the body, stimulating the lymphatic system and improving circulation.
Benefits of Pressotherapy
Pressotherapy offers a series of both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits, including:
-
Improved blood and lymphatic circulation: Pressotherapy stimulates the circulation of blood and the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins and fluids from the body.
-
Elimination of toxins and fluids: By stimulating the lymphatic system, pressotherapy helps to eliminate accumulated toxins and fluids in the body.
-
Treatment of cellulite and localized fat: The air pressure applied during pressotherapy can help break down fat accumulations and improve the appearance of cellulite.
-
Postoperative benefits after liposuction: Pressotherapy can be useful after liposuction to improve blood circulation and help settle the treated area.
-
Improved skin health and muscle tone: By improving circulation, pressotherapy can help improve skin health and muscle tone.
How Does Pressotherapy Work?
Pressotherapy works by applying controlled air pressure to different parts of the body. This pressure is applied alternately, creating a compression and relaxation effect that activates the lymphatic system and improves circulation.
The pressotherapy cycle starts at the lower part of the body and moves towards the center. The swelling and emptying cycle is short, allowing pressure to be applied to the limbs without causing discomfort to the patient.
Who Is Pressotherapy Suitable For?
Pressotherapy is suitable for people looking to improve their circulation, reduce cellulite or localized fat, or benefit from postoperative effects after liposuction. However, it is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include circulatory problems, heart problems, deep vein thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, skin infections or inflammations, hyperthyroidism, and cancer.
