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.
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.
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.
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.
Pressotherapy is both an aesthetic and therapeutic treatment. In the field of aesthetics, it can help improve the appearance of cellulite and reduce localized fat. Therapeutically, it can help improve circulation, eliminate toxins and fluids, and provide postoperative benefits after liposuction.
Is pressotherapy painful? No, pressotherapy is not a painful treatment. In fact, many patients find it to be a very relaxing treatment.
How long does a pressotherapy session last? A pressotherapy session usually lasts about 30 minutes, although this can vary depending on the individual needs of the patient.
How many pressotherapy sessions will I need? The number of pressotherapy sessions you will need depends on your individual goals. Your health professional can advise you on the number of sessions you might need.
Are there any side effects of pressotherapy? Pressotherapy is a safe treatment with few side effects. However, some people may experience a feeling of heaviness or swelling after the treatment.
Pressotherapy is a revolutionary aesthetic and therapeutic treatment that offers a range of benefits, from improving circulation to reducing cellulite. However, it is important to remember that it is not suitable for everyone and that you should always consult a health professional before starting any new treatment.
