Lymphatic drainage is a particular massage technique, exercised in the areas of the body that favors the drainage of lymphatic fluids from the tissues, improving the swelling of lymphedema, cellulite and to improve swelling in patients undergoing plastic surgery.
In Elite Plastic Surgery we use the Hydrafacial device, which other than being a medical device for hydro-dermabrasion also allows for lymphatic drainage with the use of two handpieces for face and body with a painless and relaxing technique.
What is Pressotherapy?
Pressotherapy is a medical and aesthetic treatment that improves the performance of the circulatory system and the lymphatic system in those who undergo it.
Find different uses:
- In combating the imperfections of cellulite
- In reducing water retention from lymphedema
- In redefining some parts of the body (usually the legs)
- In encouraging the elimination of toxic substances from the body
- In favoring the slimming of some parts of the body (in this case, adequate physical activity is also essential
Procedure
Pressotherapy involves applying pressure to the area to be treated. To exert this pressure are some kind of pillows, which emit jets of air and with which the therapist covers the patient.
Pressotherapy does not require special preparation – except fasting – but is contraindicated in various situations (pregnancy, diabetes with microangiopathy, deep vein thrombosis, liver cirrhosis, etc.).
Very often these two treatments are combined to offer more visible and long lasting results.
