Goodbye to heavy legs! Pressotherapy is a treatment particularly favoured by athletes, but it’s not just for them!!! Circulatory issues or water retention will soon be a distant memory. Beyond the aesthetic benefits, you’ll enjoy the delightful 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 in the lower limbs. Thanks to this type of lymphatic drainage session, oedemas (often present during the summer), the feeling 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. With 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 even benefit from it solely on their legs. Ten to fifteen sessions are recommended to achieve a good balance and improve the appearance of your legs. The more sessions you have, the more patients will notice the impact of this treatment on water retention and cellulite.
Two sessions per week are even recommended during periods of extreme heat. They will be beneficial for those who are used to standing or sitting all day long.
Does pressotherapy help with weight loss?
It is certain that pressotherapy shapes 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.
What happens during a pressotherapy session?
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 take place beforehand to verify that 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 addressing water retention). You simply lie down comfortably, and the specialist outfits you with the boots and abdominal belt.
To prepare for the arrival of beautiful summer days and discover your legs without complexes, pressotherapy will be a daily ally to embrace!
