Should you purchase a pressotherapy machine or a vibration machine to assist your clients with lymphatic drainage?

The most successful body contouring professionals routinely incorporate technology to assist in lymphatic drainage.  Why?  Non-invasive fat reduction body contouring treatments kill or damage fat cells, but don’t remove the released fat from the body.  That’s up to your client’s lymphatic system.  Leading the field of lymphatic drainage machines used by body contouring professionals are (1) the pressotherapy machine and (2) the whole body vibration machine.  Both machines are affordable, safe and extremely effective.  But there are significant differences between the two.  So in this article, we’ll give you the information you need to know to decide which machine is right for your body contouring practice.

Pressotherapy Technology

 

What is Pressotherapy (Lymphatic Drainage) Technology?

Pressotherapy (aka intermittent compression therapy and lymphatic drainage therapy) utilizes pneumatic compression technology to increase both the flow of the blood circulatory system and the lymphatic circulatory system.  

 

How does Pressotherapy promote lymphatic drainage?

The computer-controlled compression therapy system powering Pressotherapy utilizes inflating pumps within a bodysuit (worn by your client) putting intermittent pressure on your client’s body, thereby stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation.

 

The rhythmic compression action of the pressotherapy machine accelerates the elimination of fats, excess fluids, toxins and other waste from your client’s body.

 

Benefits of adding Pressotherapy to your business

• Pressotherapy treatments accelerate and optimize results for fat reduction treatments like Cavitation, Lipo Laser, Cryolipolysis, SculpSure, Coolsculpting, Emsculpt NEO, Venus Bliss, Zerona, etc.
• Pressotherapy is a flexible treatment; you can use it to target the entire body or to focus on a smaller area like the legs, torso, arms or a combination of areas.
• The Pressotherapy Machine can be used as a stand-alone treatment with many benefits in addition to lymphatic drainage.
  • A Detox Slimming Treatment for either generalized slimming or a focus on a problem area
  • A Smoothing and Firming Treatment to smooth cellulite and/or tone skin
• Clients enjoy Pressotherapy treatments describing them as a ‘relaxing massage.’
• Pressotherapy treatments increase your income.  Depending on your market, you can charge somewhere between $75 and $175 per treatment session.

 

Pressotherapy Considerations

• A Pressotherapy treatment requires an hour block of your treatment room and an hour commitment from your client.
• You can use this time to reinforce education, build the relationship with your client and uncover client needs.

But you don’t necessarily have to stay in the treatment room with your client.  Pressotherapy can be a ‘set it and leave it treatment,’ meaning that you can  get your client started, and then leave the room to see another client or to get some other tasks accomplished.
