It’s an alternative to the manual lymphatic drainage massage. Its operation is simple: through a pressotherapy device, pressure on one or more areas of the body is exerted to stimulate the functioning of the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system of the human body and is vital to the immune system. The lymphatic system consists of an extensive network of lymphatic vessels, which are very similar to the blood vessels, and carries a fluid called lymph.

Lymph is composed of white blood cells (essential for the immune system), high amounts of fats and debris of bacteria and cells. The lymphatic system collects the liquid and debris that accumulate between the cells and tissues. It also collects many lipids generated by digestion.

Pressotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that is used to unblock and enhance the flow of the lymphatic system; the network of organs and vessels that circulate body fluids throughout our body to play a significant part in our immune system. The flow of lymph fluid can get congested as proteins and toxins become trapped around the cells and resulting in the lymphatic flow becoming sluggish and slow.

Pressotherapy is performed using a specialist body suit comprised of individual compartments and the use of pressured air. As the air is pumped through the compartments, pressure is firmly applied to certain areas of the body to encourage the lymphatic flow. Pressotherapy is 800 times stronger than a manual massage, which can make it the perfect treatment to follow cellulite, inch loss and fat reduction treatments and enhance the results.

All treatments are tailored to the individual and personal experiences and results may vary. We recommend a one to one consultation with our treatment co-ordinators to discuss your treatment options.
