Pressotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses air pressure to massage the body, often focusing on the limbs. It involves wearing a special suit or garments with chambers that inflate and deflate, creating a massaging effect.
This helps stimulate circulation, reduce fluid retention, and promote lymphatic drainage. It’s commonly used in wellness and beauty treatments to reduce swelling, improve skin tone, and relieve discomfort related to poor circulation or conditions like cellulite.
Benefits of Pressotherapy Treatment
Pressotherapy offers several potential benefits, particularly related to circulation, lymphatic drainage, and overall wellness. Some of the key benefits include:
1. Improved Circulation: The air pressure helps stimulate blood flow and improve circulation, which can be particularly helpful for people with poor blood circulation or those who spend long hours sitting or standing.
2. Lymphatic Drainage: By stimulating the lymphatic system, pressotherapy encourages the removal of toxins and excess fluids from the body. This can lead to reduced swelling and improved immune function.
3. Reduction in Cellulite: Regular pressotherapy sessions may help reduce the appearance of cellulite by promoting the breakdown of fat deposits and improving skin tone.
4. Detoxification: By stimulating lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy helps flush out toxins, which can lead to a sense of detoxification and overall improved well-being.
5. Reduction in Fluid Retention: This treatment can help reduce water retention by promoting the movement of excess fluids from the body, leading to less puffiness and swelling.
6. Muscle Relaxation: The gentle pressure from the treatment can help to relax muscles, reduce tension, and alleviate soreness, especially after intense physical activity.
7. Improved Skin Tone and Texture: By boosting circulation and promoting the removal of waste products, pressotherapy may contribute to healthier, more toned skin.
8. Pain Relief: It may also provide relief from pain caused by conditions like varicose veins, lymphedema, and general muscle or joint discomfort.
Therefore, pressotherapy is indicated for treating:
Cellulite and sagging
Orange peel
Lymphatic problems
Poor circulation, varicose vein prevention
Muscle and joint problems (physiotherapy)
Constipation
Stretch marks
Postpartum care
Fluid retention and localised swelling
Before and after liposuction
Menopause

However, pressure therapy should not be used when there are varicose veins, ulcers, blood pressure problems, lymphangitis, thrombophlebitis, vein thrombosis, inflammatory arthritis, neoplasmas, cardiocirculatory decompensation, or during pregnancy. Neither when the patient suffers asthma or heart failure, kidney or respiratory failure.
How does Pressotherapy work?
Pressotherapy works by using air pressure to apply a rhythmic massage to the body, typically through a set of inflatable garments or boots that cover the limbs, abdomen, or other targeted areas.
Pressotherapy is the best complement for liposuction as it prepares the body before surgery and helps recovery after too.
