Pressotherapy is a non-invasive medical aesthetic and wellness treatment that uses controlled, sequential compression to support lymphatic and venous circulation. It is commonly used to assist with fluid movement, reduce oedema, and support post-procedure recovery and general wellbeing.
How Pressotherapy Works
Pressotherapy involves the application of a specialised garment connected to a medical-grade compression device. The system delivers graduated, intermittent pressure to targeted areas of the body, promoting lymphatic drainage and venous return.
The treatment is designed to support the body’s natural physiological processes and does not involve needles or invasive techniques.
Clinical Indications
Pressotherapy may be used to support:
Mild fluid retention and oedema
Lymphatic drainage
Sensation of heavy or tired legs
Post-procedure recovery following aesthetic or surgical treatments
General circulatory support
Suitability is determined following clinical assessment.
Treatment Areas
Legs
Abdomen
Arms
Full body (depending on device and protocol)
The Treatment Procedure
A consultation and suitability assessment are completed prior to treatment
Compression garments are applied to the treatment area
Sequential pressure cycles are delivered in a controlled manner
The treatment is typically comfortable, with a gentle squeezing sensation
A session usually lasts 20–45 minutes, depending on the indication.
Recovery and Aftercare
Pressotherapy is associated with minimal to no downtime. Patients may return to normal activities immediately following treatment. Adequate hydration is recommended after treatment.
