Pressotherapy in the fight against cellulite

Among a large number of skin problems, the most known is a problem like cellulite. This is not a disease, but rather a cosmetic defect. We will not talk about how cellulite shows up. And let's talk about methods designed to combat this scourge of female legs and buttocks. One such method is pressotherapy. Although experts say that pressotherapy is not a panacea for cellulite, the method itself is very pleasant and useful, although, like most methods, there are contraindications. So, pressotherapy, what is this new know-how that can save us from cellulite? For many, this procedure can be known as pressomassage or pneumomassage. During the procedure with the help of compressed air the device acts on the human lymphatic system. Compressed air is fed through a special multicameral corset with doses. In other words, pressotherapy is the massage of the person's lymphatic drainage system with the help of a special device. As a result, the client restores and improves the microcirculation of the lymphatic fluid through the vessels, the circulation becomes active in the extremities, if the apparatus acts on the abdominal region, then the intestinal peristalsis improves.

Who is exposed to pressotherapy ?
In addition to affecting cellulite, pressotherapy has a wide range of applications. It can be recommended to people who are overweight, who have heavy legs, who are muscular, and procedures are recommended for the prevention of thrombosis, for various edemas (postoperative, post traumatic), etc.

Although pressotherapy gives good results for controlling excess weight, procedures alone will not be enough with the help of the apparatus, it is necessary to maintain proper nutrition and exercise. Pressotherapy can be considered as an additional and auxiliary procedure, but not as the main method in dealing with the listed problems. For example, in combination with a course of anti-cellulite massage or with a course of procedures of local ozone therapy, pressotherapy gives good results.

Pressotherapy procedures
The procedure of pressure therapy can be carried out in two ways. In one case, a suit is used that looks like a spacesuit. In another variant, pneumomassage is carried out with the help of cuffs, which are worn on problem areas of the body. The second option is more practical, because people come with different complexions. Some experts recommend performing pneumomassage only on certain parts of the body. For example, pressotherapy for pregnant women is indicated for swelling and is performed only on the legs. The whole procedure is carried out lying down. In each individual case, the customer is given a specific program, the compressed air will be delivered in a certain sequence after a certain period of time under a certain pressure. The time of the procedure can be different - about 20-30 minutes and up to 1.5 hours. In the case of cellulite, the procedure lasts 30 minutes.
