Definition

A pressotherapy machine is a non-invasive device that delivers controlled air pressure through multi-chamber garments (legs, abdomen, arms). By inflating and deflating in a sequence, the system gently moves interstitial fluid toward lymph nodes, helping the body decongest, detox and recover.

For clinics and spas, pressotherapy is a versatile add-on: it complements cryolipolysis, cavitation, RF, EMS and other body programs while providing a relaxing experience.

How It Works (In Brief)

• Multi-chamber garments wrap the limbs/abdomen.
• Sequential inflation applies graded pressure from distal to proximal areas.
• Lymphatic drainage promotes fluid transport and reduces swelling/heaviness.
• Microcirculation boost supports oxygenation and tissue metabolism.
• Session length: typically 30–45 minutes, comfortable and hands-off.

Key Benefits

• Relieves leg heaviness, mild edema and water retention
• Supports post-treatment recovery (e.g., after body contouring)
• Enhances results of slimming programs and cellulite smoothing
• Time-efficient add-on; low consumables; comfortable for clients

Who Is It For?

• Clients seeking detox, light-legs feeling and wellness
• Body shaping programs needing better fluid management
• Post-procedure comfort (according to provider guidance)
• Not suitable for certain vascular, cardiac or acute conditions—screen first

Suggested Protocols

• Detox / Light-Legs: 2×/week, 30–40 min, 6–8 sessions
• Body Contour Booster: 1–2×/week, 40 min, pair with EMS/Cryo
• Post-Treatment Comfort: 2×/week, ~30 min as advised by provider

Safety & Contraindications (Overview)

• Conduct health screening (DVT, severe cardiac/renal disease, infection, etc.)
• Adjust pressure/time to comfort; stop if pain or numbness occurs
• Use appropriate hygiene barriers and garment cleaning protocols
