ELEVATE YOUR CONFIDENCE WITH ELITIQUE

Pressotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilises advanced technology to stimulate lymphatic drainage and improve circulation. During the session, you will wear specially designed inflatable garments that apply gentle pressure to various areas of your body. This dynamic, rhythmic massage aids in flushing out toxins, reducing water retention, and enhancing your body’s natural detoxification processes. 

1. The Equipment: 

During a Pressotherapy session, you will wear specially designed inflatable garments that fit snugly around your body. These garments are typically available for different areas, including the legs, abdomen, and arms, allowing for targeted treatment.

2. Gentle Compression:

 The system uses a series of air chambers within the garments that inflate and deflate in a sequential manner. This rhythmic compression mimics the natural pumping action of the lymphatic system, applying gentle pressure to your body.

3. Lymphatic Drainage Stimulation: 

The primary goal of Pressotherapy is to stimulate lymphatic drainage. The gentle pressure encourages the movement of lymph fluid, which carries toxins, waste products, and excess fluids away from your tissues. This process helps to flush out toxins and reduce swelling or bloating.

4. Improved Circulation: 

As the pressure is applied and released, blood flow to the treated areas is enhanced. Improved circulation means better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to your tissues, promoting overall health and vitality.

5. Fat Metabolism Support: 

The increased circulation and lymphatic drainage can aid in the breakdown of stubborn fat deposits. By promoting the body’s natural metabolic processes, Pressotherapy can support your weight loss efforts and help you achieve a more contoured appearance.

6. Relaxation and Stress Relief: 

In addition to its physical benefits, the soothing experience of Pressotherapy promotes relaxation and stress relief. As you enjoy the gentle rhythm of the treatment, you’ll find yourself unwinding and feeling rejuvenated.

A typical Pressotherapy session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your chosen treatment area and goals. You’ll be comfortably reclined while the inflatable garments gently compress and release, providing a calming massage-like experience. Many clients find the treatment relaxing and even fall asleep during the session!

After your Pressotherapy treatment, you may notice immediate benefits, such as reduced swelling, improved skin texture, and a sense of lightness. For optimal results, it’s recommended to incorporate Pressotherapy into a regular wellness routine.

When preparing for your Pressotherapy session, comfort is key. Here’s what you should consider wearing:

Comfortable Underwear: 

You can wear your underwear during the treatment. Opt for something that is comfortable and not too tight, as the inflatable garments will cover your body and apply pressure.

Loose-Fitting Clothing: 

If desired, you can wear loose-fitting gym wear or activewear over your underwear. This could include:

   - Shorts or leggings for leg treatments.

   - A loose-fitting top for abdominal or arm treatments.

Sock:

It’s best to wear socks, especially if the treatment includes your feet. Choose comfortable, lightweight socks that won’t interfere with the inflatable garments.

Avoid Tight Garments: 

Refrain from wearing tight or restrictive clothing, as this may interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness and your overall comfort.

Stay Hydrated: 

Drink plenty of water before your session. Staying hydrated is crucial for optimal lymphatic drainage and enhances the detoxification effects of Pressotherapy.

Avoid Heavy Meals: 

It’s best to avoid heavy meals right before your treatment. A light snack is perfectly fine if you’re feeling hungry.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a comfortable and effective Pressotherapy experience!
