At Clínica Terrace by Dr. Mara Marques, we believe in treatments that promote a balance between health, aesthetics and well-being. Pressotherapy is one such non-invasive treatment that uses controlled air pressure to stimulate lymphatic and blood circulation, with aesthetic and therapeutic benefits.
Pressotherapy is a procedure that uses specialized equipment made up of air chambers that apply pressure sequentially to different parts of the body, such as the legs, arms and abdomen. This technique stimulates lymph flow and blood circulation, promoting the elimination of toxins, reducing fluid retention and relieving muscle fatigue. It also provides a feeling of deep relaxation and is often compared to a gentle massage.
The BTL Lymphastim equipment works on the principle of pneumatic pressure therapy. The special applicator made up of chain chambers provides a gentle massage that stimulates the natural circulation of lymph through the body.
By stimulating circulation in the areas where it is applied, pressure therapy helps to prevent and reduce circulatory problems such as varicose veins, swelling and the feeling of tired legs. This benefit is particularly important for those who spend long hours standing or sitting, significantly improving their quality of life.
Fluid retention is a common problem that can cause discomfort and changes in the appearance of the skin. Pressotherapy activates the lymphatic system, helping the body to eliminate toxins and accumulated fluids, promoting a feeling of lightness and a healthier appearance.
This treatment is ideal for relaxing tense muscles and relieving pain associated with physical tiredness. Whether it’s after an exhausting day or due to repetitive efforts, pressure therapy offers immediate relief, making it an ally for muscular well-being.
Pressotherapy is a widely recommended technique for treating lymphedema, especially in post-mastectomy cases. This procedure helps to reduce swelling in the arm, promoting lymphatic drainage in a safe and effective way, and improving the patient’s comfort and mobility.
The fast pace of life can bring high levels of stress and anxiety. Pressotherapy, with its relaxing effect and the gentle movement of sequential pressure, provides a unique sense of well-being. This treatment is ideal for those looking to disconnect from daily stress and take care of their body and mind at the same time.
Pressotherapy is indicated for a wide variety of people, including:
