Pressotherapy is a procedure that helps to lose weight and get rid of cellulite.

Pressotherapy (or lymphatic drainage, pneumomassage) is an apparatus massage that uses compressed air. It is fed from the cosmetic equipment into a special suit (cuffs). It can affect both the whole body and individual parts: arms, legs, lower back, abdomen. The device has special software for adjusting the intensity and time of pressure. The patient does not feel any discomfort or pain during the procedure, on the contrary, heat spreads through the body, the muscles relax.
