What is Pressotherapy?
Pressotherapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, improve blood circulation, and detoxify the body. This advanced therapy uses controlled air pressure to gently compress specific areas of the body, such as the legs, arms, and abdomen. It encourages the movement of lymph fluid, promoting the removal of toxins, excess water, and metabolic waste. Renowned for its versatility, Pressotherapy is commonly used for reducing fluid retention, enhancing body contours, post-surgical recovery, and combating cellulite. It’s a relaxing, effective treatment suitable for both therapeutic and aesthetic purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pressotherapy actually work?
You wear inflatable compression garments (legs, arms, and sometimes abdomen) connected to a machine that sequentially inflates and deflates chambers in programmed rhythms. This mimics manual lymphatic drainage massage, pushing lymphatic fluid through the body's drainage pathways, reducing swelling and improving circulation.
Is pressotherapy a weight-loss treatment?
Honestly, no, not in terms of fat loss. It reduces water weight, bloating, and circumference temporarily by clearing fluid, and improves the appearance of cellulite and skin texture. For actual fat loss, combine with RF body contouring, EMSCULPT NEO, or PB Serum.
When is the best time to have pressotherapy?
Excellent immediately after long-haul flights, post-surgery (with medical clearance), after body filler or fat-dissolving injections to accelerate clearance, or as a standalone treatment for heavy legs, bloating, or PMS-related fluid retention.
How many sessions will I need?
A single session delivers noticeable relief from heaviness and swelling. For cellulite or post-surgical protocols, 6-10 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart are recommended. Maintenance weekly or fortnightly is popular for wellness.
Who should avoid pressotherapy?
Pregnancy, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) or significant venous disease, severe heart or kidney disease, active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area, recent fractures or injuries, and severe uncontrolled hypertension. Your therapist will screen at booking.
Does it hurt?
Not at all, it's deeply relaxing. Most clients describe it as a rhythmic, full-body massage. Many fall asleep during the session.
