Pressotherapy is an aesthetic and therapeutic treatment that uses air pressure to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce cellulite and relieve fluid retention. There are several types of pressotherapy, which vary in terms of their technology and specific objectives.
Types of pressotherapy:
- Sequential Pneumatic Compression Pressure Therapy: Uses a device that inflates and deflates air chambers in an adjustable garment, such as a boot or pants. The compression is sequential, that is, it starts from the parts closest to the body and progresses to the parts farther away.
Benefits: Improves circulation, reduces fluid retention, and aids in the elimination of toxins.
- Pressure therapy with static pneumatic compression: Unlike the sequential type, static compression maintains a constant pressure in all chambers of the device.
Benefits: Ideal for the reduction of swelling and for the treatment of cellulite.
- Pressotherapy with shockwave technology: Combines pressotherapy with acoustic waves that stimulate deep tissues, improving circulation and the elimination of localized fat.
Benefits: Helps body remodeling and cellulite reduction.
- Pressure therapy with vibratory massage: Integrates a vibratory massage along with pneumatic compression to further stimulate circulation and fluid elimination.
Benefits: Increases treatment efficacy by combining pressure with massage.
- Pressotherapy with infrared heat: Adds infrared heat to the pressotherapy treatment, which helps relax muscles and improve blood circulation.
Benefits: Improves relaxation, relieves tension and can enhance the effects of the treatment.
- Zone Focused Pressure Therapy: Uses devices designed to treat specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs or arms.
Benefits: Allows for a more personalized approach to the patient’s needs.
Each type of pressotherapy has its own indications and benefits, and choosing the right type may depend on your specific goals and the recommendations of a healthcare professional.
