Pressotherapy

What is pressotherapy?

Pressotherapy is a modern, effective and painless method of lymphatic drainage with a strong therapeutic effect in the treatment of cellulite and fat deposits in the body.

How does it work?

In Pressotherapy, special applicator sleeves with multiple overlapping chambers provide a gentle massage that promotes the natural circulation of lymph through the body. Pressotherapy activates the passive part of the circulatory system – veins and lymphatic vessels and stimulates the discharge of accumulated toxins to the scavengers. Absorbs swelling and has releasing and analgesic effects. Pressotherapy stimulates muscles, eliminates fatigue and helps with recovery after exercise and after prolonged bilization. Activation of muscle tone reduces fat deposits in the thighs, hips and waist. It is recommended for cellulite, obesity, weight and fatigue in the legs due to impaired blood flow and swelling of the limbs. It provides total relaxation and complete recovery of the body.
