Goodbye to those heavy legs! Pressotherapy is a treatment particularly favoured by athletes, but not exclusively!!! Circulatory issues or water retention will be a distant memory. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, you will enjoy the pleasant sensation of light legs!
What is pressotherapy?
Pressotherapy is a technique that activates venous and lymphatic circulation. It is an effective treatment for venous disorders of the lower limbs. Thanks to these lymphatic drainage sessions, oedemas (often present during summer), the sensation of heavy legs, and swelling will disappear.
Pressotherapy has the power to act on veins, heavy legs, and cellulite by eliminating water retention. It also serves as a preventive measure against the appearance of varicose veins. Thanks to its optimal action, it allows for the elimination of toxins. This treatment is even sought after for a simple moment of relaxation.
Who is it for?
Pressotherapy is aimed at both women and men experiencing circulatory issues, oedemas, or the unpleasant sensation of heavy legs. Pregnant women can also benefit from it, but only on their legs. Ten to fifteen sessions are recommended to achieve a good balance and improve the shape of your legs. The more sessions you have, the more patients will notice the impact of this treatment on water retention or cellulite.
Two sessions per week are even recommended during hot weather. They are beneficial for those who spend all day standing or sitting.
Does pressotherapy help with weight loss?
It is certain that pressotherapy refines the silhouette if you are overweight or if your cellulite is watery. However, for it to be effective, there are no miracles! You must maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
How does a pressotherapy session unfold?
This technique acts on the lymphatic circulation of the entire body. The device consists of boots for the legs as well as an abdominal belt.
A session lasts on average between 20 and 30 minutes. A medical appointment must occur beforehand to ensure there are no contraindications.
Pressotherapy is not painful. It is performed using an electrical device in continuous mode (to treat venous insufficiency) or sequential mode (ideal for targeting cellulite and acting on water retention). All you need to do is lie down comfortably, and the specialist will dress you in the boots and the abdominal belt.
To prepare for the beautiful summer days and to discover your legs without complexes, pressotherapy will be a daily ally to adopt!
