Pressotherapy is a well-known and effective procedure in the field of medicine and cosmetology. It is based on the use of a special device that creates air pressure around the patient's limb. This allows you to gently but effectively massage and stimulate blood vessels, improving blood circulation. This method is especially relevant for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle or spend a lot of time in a stationary position.
The procedure is intended for those who have:
• Venous insufficiency, i.e. venous blood flow disorders
• Post-thrombotic diseases
• Fatigue
• Constant stresses
• Insomnia
• Stroke
• Constant leg fatigue
• Metabolic disorders
• Cellulite
•Overweight
Contraindications
Most often, this procedure is used on the leg area. During operation, the device creates pressure in the legs, which helps improve metabolic processes and reduces intercellular fluid in the subcutaneous layer.
The main contraindications for manipulation are as follows:
• Tumor diseases
• Acute skin inflammations
• Tuberculosis
• Benign neoplasms
•Diabetes
• Cardiovascular failure
• Kidney failure
• Epilepsy
• Thyroid disease
• High blood pressure
• Atherosclerosis
How is pressotherapy performed?
Pressotherapy is a comfortable and painless procedure that provides pleasant sensations. During the session, the patient wears a special suit or shoes equipped with air cuffs. Then the specialist turns on the device, which begins to successively inject and expel air pressure, creating an effect similar to a light massage. The procedure usually lasts about 30-40 minutes, depending on the therapeutic goals.
• Number of procedures: 10-15 times with an interval of 2-4 days. It is decided by the cosmetologist, depending on the problem.
• Repetition of the course is recommended after 6 months, which will contribute to the increase of resistance.
• The positive result is noticeable immediately after the procedure and lasts for about six months.
• In case of proper diet and sports, the result will last longer.
It is important to note that pressotherapy is performed in special medical or cosmetology offices under the supervision of qualified personnel. Each session is selected individually, taking into account the patient's needs and condition. After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to their normal activities without any discomfort or restrictions. A pleasant healing effect is felt the next day, as blood circulation and lymphatic drainage are improved.
