Pressure therapy is a new therapeutic method that, through massages that apply pressure to different areas of the body, activates circulation and eliminates localized fat. It is a treatment that is increasingly known and used for its multiple benefits for the skin, circulation and volume reduction. In general terms, pressure therapy consists of the application of controlled pressure in certain areas of the body, using specialized equipment that generates a kind of “massage” in the area. In this article we are going to talk specifically about how pressotherapy can help reduce body volume and how it works.

Before we begin, it is important to clarify that pressotherapy is not a miracle treatment or a magic wand that will make us lose weight and measurements in a matter of minutes. It is a complementary treatment that can help us improve and accelerate some results in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How does pressure therapy work to reduce volume?

Pressure therapy is based on the principle of controlled pressure and stimulation of lymphatic circulation. The pressure generated by the pressotherapy equipment helps to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which in turn helps to eliminate toxins and improve fluid retention. Fluid accumulation is one of the factors contributing to increased body volume in certain areas of the body, such as the legs, arms or abdomen.

Pressure therapy can also help improve the appearance of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This can help reduce cellulite and sagging, giving a more toned and firmer appearance to the skin.

What results can we expect from pressotherapy?

Results may vary depending on the type of equipment used, the frequency and duration of pressotherapy sessions, and other factors such as diet and exercise. In general, pressotherapy can help reduce body volume and improve the appearance of the skin. However, it is important to keep in mind that it is not a weight loss treatment and results may be more visible in some areas of the body than others.

How many sessions are necessary?

The number of pressotherapy sessions needed to see results will depend on the individual and his or her specific goals. In general, a minimum of 10 sessions is recommended, with a frequency of 1 or 2 sessions per week. It is important to remember that pressotherapy is a complementary treatment and that it will always be necessary to maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise if we want to see lasting results.

What do we recommend after each pressotherapy session?

It is recommended to carry out a cavitation treatment after pressotherapy, which consists in spreading a gel with a roller on the fattest areas of the body. In this way the fat nodules are destroyed in order to better destroy them during the next pressotherapy session. It is necessary to perform more than one session to see results although from the first one you can notice improvement, so we recommend being consistent with the sessions and so we can see better results and volume loss.
