Lymphatic Drainage Pressotherapy

Advanced Lymphatic Drainage & Recovery Therapy

If you’re looking to reduce fluid retention, improve circulation and support your body’s natural detoxification process, Lymphatic Drainage Pressotherapy offers a gentle, relaxing and non-invasive treatment designed to promote overall body wellness and recovery.

Treatment time

30-45 minutes

Downtime

Course

6-10 treatments

Comfort

Soothing, massage-like

Using controlled air pressure, the treatment stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, helping to reduce swelling, improve circulation and support tissue regeneration while promoting a feeling of lighter, more comfortable legs.

Why choose this treatment?

Lighter legs, better circulation

Pressotherapy is an excellent treatment for clients experiencing fluid retention, tired or heavy legs, reduced circulation or those wishing to complement body contouring programmes. It is also a popular supportive treatment following selected aesthetic body procedures to encourage lymphatic drainage and enhance overall treatment results.

How does it work?

Rhythmic, controlled compression

Specialised inflatable garments gently inflate and deflate in a controlled sequence, applying rhythmic pressure to the treatment area.

This massage-like compression stimulates lymphatic flow, supports healthy circulation and encourages the natural removal of excess fluid from the body.
