Nowadays, women are willing to use the services of spa salons to speed up the process of losing weight. It is worth noting that the whole-body pressotherapy really allows you to weigh less by 1-1.5 kg after the first procedure, but the weight goes away from the liquid, and not by reducing the fat mass. For weight loss, this procedure can be used in an integrated approach, but getting rid of cellulite in this way is incredibly simple.
Is pressotherapy possible at home?
At present, various devices are sold that allow for a similar procedure at home, but this is not very convenient, and besides, the cost of the equipment is such that it is sometimes easier to go to the salon for several procedures. In addition, it is unlikely that you will use your acquisition all the time.
Typically, appliances designed for home use, have much lower power than professional, and why the results may not be as effective.
Pressotherapy or myostimulation?
And that, and other procedure has its pros and cons, and is not shown to everyone. If you want to reduce weight, and consider them from this point of view, it is worth consulting with a specialist and determining what is more suitable specifically for your case.
Pressotherapy is a kind of hardware cosmetology, similar in its effect to professional lymphatic drainage massage. The effect of it is the elimination of excess fluid, but not the splitting of adipose tissue.
Myostimulation involves an electric current that causes your muscles to contract, which causes muscle tissue to be stimulated, but, nevertheless, it does not affect the fat tissue. In terms of weight loss, this procedure shows itself more effective, however, it has many contraindications.
The effect of pressure therapy
Pressotherapy - this is one of the types of hardware massage , during which the patient is placed on the couch, and he is wearing a special suit. It consists of separate sections that can be filled with air, and thus create pressure. The entire process is controlled by a computer.
Due to compression, the intercellular fluid is purified, and the functioning of the lymphatic system is improved. In terms of its effect on the body, it is similar to lymphatic drainage massage - toxins, decay products are eliminated, metabolism improves. This is a good technique, which allows you to further improve the effectiveness of other measures that you will take to lose weight. Pressotherapy has a general positive effect on the body:
- improvement of blood circulation;
- strengthening of muscles and ligaments;
- the removal of muscle tension and spasms;
- cell saturation with oxygen;
- removal of toxins and toxins;
- normalization of pressure;
- normalization of the functions of the gastrointestinal tract;
- stress relief;
- increased lymph flow;
- strengthening immunity;
- improvement of metabolism;
- normalization of the digestive system.
Proceeding from this, it is possible to say with certainty that pressotherapy of the abdomen and the body entirely has a positive effect on health, but it is still not a panacea, and one can not consider that this procedure alone is sufficient for effective weight loss.
