This technique can relieve the symptoms of heavy and swollen legs, while fighting cellulite. Pressotherapy is also an effective treatment to promote the evacuation of the toxins accumulated in the body.

Pressotherapy also has a significant benefit: it has absolutely no side effect. Since this technique acts on the external body, it works as the usual massages and lymphatic drainages applied manually by the professional therapists. There is then very few contraindications to pressotherapy treatments. Even pregnant women can enjoy their benefits, provided that the technician uses low-intensity pressures and that the abdomen is not under treatment. However, people suffering from severe cardiac or kidney insufficiency, from uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure), from abscess or tumor should avoid pressotherapy treatments. The same goes for people who have a history of thrombosis or thrombophlebitis, as well as those suffering from an infection or an active inflammation of the areas to be treated.
According to the body part to be treated, you slip on the pressotherapy boots for the legs, the sleeves for the arms, or an abdominal belt. You take a reclining position on your back, and relax with your legs slightly raised.
The air cells of the device fill up, at varying pace, while multiple soft pressures are exerted on the targeted area. The blood circulation is activated and the toxins are more effectively eliminated. The treatment lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.
For an optimal and lasting efficiency, we recommend one to two weekly treatments.
