Medical pressotherapy is a non-invasive body treatment that uses controlled air pressure to stimulate venous and lymphatic circulation. Through a sequential compression system using pneumatic boots, it promotes the drainage of fluids and toxins, relieving fluid retention, the sensation of heavy legs, and improving the texture of the skin.
It is a widely used technique in aesthetic medicine, physiotherapy and vascular medicine due to its numerous aesthetic and therapeutic benefits.
At Clínica Áureo, we use pressotherapy as a standalone treatment or as a complement to other body procedures. It is indicated for:
The patient wears special pneumatic boots (and in some cases an abdominal belt and arm sleeves), connected to a device that inflates and deflates the different pressure chambers in a controlled sequence.
This gentle, progressive compression stimulates blood and lymphatic flow, producing an effect similar to manual lymphatic drainage, but deeper and more uniform.
Sessions typically last between 30 and 45 minutes, are completely painless and provide a pleasant sensation of lightness and relaxation.
The number of sessions will depend on the treatment objective and the patient’s specific situation. Generally, between 6 and 12 sessions are recommended, at a frequency of 1 or 2 per week.
The effects are noticeable from the very first sessions, especially in cases of fluid retention or tired legs.
