Pressotherapy is a treatment that uses air pressure as a massage, activating the lymphatic system to improve circulation throughout the body. The lymphatic system is essential for cleansing and defending the body, eliminating toxins, intestinal contents, and fats, and fighting germs, infections, and toxic substances.
This treatment is very comfortable and natural, and is becoming increasingly popular due to its simplicity , effectiveness, and affordable cost.
How does pressotherapy work?
As explained by Patricia Espitia , a beautician from Fraga , the pressotherapy equipment consists of a wrap or garment where the patient (or the specific area to be treated, such as legs, buttocks, or abdomen) is placed, and an air compressor that controls the pressure. This garment, through the controlled and personalized air circulation and pressure applied to each patient, exerts an alternating compression and relaxation effect that activates the lymphatic system, similar to a massage.
Each pressotherapy session lasts approximately half an hour. Depending on the needs and goals of each patient, more or fewer sessions may be required. Pressotherapy machines have several customizable programs to adapt to each individual's needs and body type.
Benefits of pressotherapy
Pressotherapy stimulates the lymphatic system, generating lymphatic drainage to eliminate fluids, fats, and toxins accumulated in the body. Air pressure breaks down fat deposits, such as those located in the legs and buttocks, and mobilizes them along with retained fluids and toxins for elimination through the lymphatic system.
This treatment has numerous applications in the field of aesthetics, including:
- Elimination of fats and toxins
- Cellulite reduction
- Treatment of varicose veins
- Relief from fluid retention
- Treatment of edema and lymphedema
- Post-operative support after liposuction
Who should not undergo pressotherapy?
Despite its benefits, pressotherapy is not indicated for:
- Patients with circulatory problems
- Patients with heart problems, hypertension or hypotension
- People with deep vein thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, or arterial insufficiency
- Individuals with skin infections or inflammations
- People with hyperthyroidism
- Cancer patients
This treatment may be suitable for pregnant women, provided that a prior review is carried out with a medical team that adapts the program to their needs.
In any case, it is essential to seek the advice of a specialist before starting a pressotherapy treatment.
