What is pressotherapy?

Presotherapy sounds quite enigmatic, yet it is widely used among professional athletes and dancers. What is its mechanism of action?
What is pressotherapy and what does such a treatment look like?

Pressotherapy is nothing but a modern form of massage therapy using pneumatic technology.

The pressotherapy treatment involves placing a sleeve on a specific area, and then, as the sleeve fills with air, it applies pressure on the tissues, draining them and reducing muscle tension.

At Ambasada Urody in Warsaw, leg sleeves are used, allowing for the treatment of the legs. This is also the most popular solution worldwide. After putting on the leg sleeves, the chambers fill with air in a controlled manner, draining and massaging the legs.

It is worth noting that this treatment is enjoyable and safe.

What are the effects of pressotherapy?

This treatment offers numerous benefits, from improving body shape and enhancing life comfort to preventing varicose veins.

Lymphatic drainage effectively reduces swelling, providing relief to individuals who spend a lot of time sitting at a computer or wearing high heels. Reducing swelling improves quality of movement and restores agility.

Another effect of this treatment is cellulite reduction and body contouring. Increased circulation (both lymph and blood) leads to better oxygenation and nourishment of tissues, as well as easier removal of waste products. With pressure, fat tissue breaks down and is reduced.

By stimulating circulation, the treatment strengthens blood vessels, acting as excellent prevention for serious conditions like varicose veins.

It is also worth mentioning that this treatment works well as a drainage procedure after liposuction.

In short, if you have swollen or tired legs, or suffer from edematous cellulite, this therapy is for you.

Pressotherapy

Modern lymphatic drainage for health and a slim figure

Pressotherapy is an advanced method of mechanical lymphatic drainage that helps eliminate toxins, reduce swelling, and improve blood and lymph circulation. The treatment is performed using special compression sleeves into which compressed air is introduced, generating a rhythmic compression massage. Pressotherapy works comprehensively, stimulating the body's natural detoxification processes, supporting cellulite reduction, and improving skin circulation and elasticity. It is a safe, painless, and incredibly relaxing method that can be used independently or as a complement to other slimming and anti-cellulite treatments.

How does pressotherapy work?

  • Stimulation of lymph and blood circulation - rhythmic compression massage accelerates lymph flow and improves microcirculation, reducing water retention and toxins in the body.
  • Elimination of swelling - pressotherapy helps remove excess fluids, reducing swelling in the legs, arms, and abdomen.
  • Cellulite reduction - lymphatic circulation stimulation supports the fight against cellulite, especially when combined with other body shaping methods.
  • Body shaping - pressotherapy helps firm and slim the body, especially in the thigh, hip, and abdomen areas.
  • Prevention of varicose veins - improved blood circulation reduces the risk of varicose veins and the feeling of heavy legs.
  • Relaxation and improvement of well-being - gentle massage relaxes, reduces tension, and alleviates leg fatigue.

Who is pressotherapy suitable for?

Pressotherapy treatment is ideal for individuals who:

  • Struggle with leg swelling, water retention, and lymphatic congestion.
  • Have a tendency towards cellulite and loose skin.
  • Want to accelerate body regeneration and support detoxification.
  • Seek an effective method to alleviate heavy leg sensation and improve circulation.
  • Need support after slimming treatments, cryolipolysis, or liposuction to boost fat metabolism and improve skin tone.
  • Want to prevent varicose veins or have a tendency to vascular problems.

Pressotherapy is also recommended for individuals leading a sedentary lifestyle, those with limited physical activity, or those working in a standing position.

Pressotherapy works gradually - relief and lightness in the legs can be felt after the first sessions, and a full series brings long-lasting effects in the form of firmer skin and improved body metabolism.

Frequency of treatments

  • A recommended series comprises 6-10 sessions, performed 2-3 times per week.
  • After completing the series, it is advisable to have one session per week to maintain the results.
  • Pressotherapy can be used regularly as a preventive measure against swelling and circulatory issues.

Pressotherapy is a modern and effective method of mechanical lymphatic drainage that eliminates swelling, improves circulation, and supports cellulite reduction.
