Hardware Lymphatic Drainage
Professional cosmetology in the modern world offers not only facial care but also effective methods of influencing the human body. Hardware cosmetology is aimed at performing two of the most important functions:
- Elimination of visual imperfections or improvement of a person’s appearance;
- Therapeutic effect with long-lasting results.
There are several methods of hardware lymphatic drainage:
- Galvanization;
- Electroionophoresis;
- Pressotherapy (compression massage);
- Vacuum lymphatic drainage;
- Microcurrent lymphatic drainage.
Pressotherapy, or hardware lymphatic drainage massage, is the most effective non-surgical method of combating excess fat deposits, cellulite, and skin laxity. It is one of the most effective ways to model body contours. The range of indications for pressotherapy is very wide: it is also used to relieve muscle tension, for varicose veins, thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, as well as for the prevention and treatment of swelling in the arms or legs caused by injuries or after surgery. The advantages of the procedure include an affordable price, complete safety, and high effectiveness. Unlike manual techniques, the possibility of mechanical skin damage is excluded. The only disadvantage is the impossibility of performing this procedure at home.
Pressotherapy Procedure Technique
The skin is rhythmically compressed using compressed air, which has a beneficial effect on muscles, veins, fat deposits, lymphatic vessels, and the entire body.
Thus, pressotherapy is one of the types of lymphatic massage that activates fluid circulation in the body. During the process, lymph drainage occurs, metabolism improves, skin elasticity increases, excess water is removed, and the body is cleansed of accumulated toxic substances.
This method can be used as an independent procedure and as the initial stage of an extensive body contouring program — in this case, it is often combined with other procedures and techniques, particularly vacuum lymphatic drainage.
