Lipofresh®: four levers in the same hour
Pressotherapy on its own drains; the Lipofresh® protocol goes further by combining four steps in a single one-hour session:
1. Sequential pressure. Boots and a belt inflate in successive waves, from the feet up towards the upper body. This mechanical movement supports venous and lymphatic circulation, much like a regular, deep manual drainage.
2. Infrared heat. It gently warms the tissues and gets sweating going again — sweating that is often “sluggish” in people who retain water.
3. The body wrap. A concentrated balm — caffeine, guarana and around twenty active ingredients — is applied to stubborn areas, cold or warm depending on your goal, under a special suit.
4. Draining from the inside. A preparation of organic draining ingredients is offered to you at the start and at the end of the session.
What you can expect — and what we do not promise
Lighter legs are often felt as soon as you leave the treatment room. The centimetres lost in a single session are mainly water eliminated: it is real and visible, but it is not fat loss. For a lasting effect, think in terms of a course (one to two sessions a week) and lifestyle: hydration, moderate salt, a daily walk.
Pressotherapy works very well alongside treatments that act on fat — cryolipolysis, shockwave therapy or lipolaser — by helping the body to eliminate.
We discuss it at the free body contouring assessment: measurements, health questions, and a pace that suits you.
The aesthetic assessment comes first
Every protocol is decided after a free aesthetic assessment: we examine the area, take into account your skin, your aesthetic history and your goal, then give you a quote before any session.
You leave with a clear answer: what is suitable for you, in how many sessions, and at what price. Nothing starts without your agreement.
What happens during the session?
You arrive in light clothing; we measure the areas to be monitored (thigh, calf or waist, depending on what bothers you). Once the targeted areas have been wrapped, you lie down with your legs slightly raised, the boots and belt in place and the infrared heat switched on.
The pressure rises and falls in cycles: it feels like a firm, rhythmic hug, never painful — the intensity can be adjusted at any time. Many clients take the opportunity to close their eyes: it is one of the most restful treatments on the menu.
Plan to drink plenty of water in the hours that follow: this is what allows your body to eliminate what has been mobilised.
Who is it for? Precautions checked at the assessment
Lipofresh® is first and foremost for people who swell: puffy ankles in the evening, heavy legs after a day on your feet, water-retention cellulite (soft, and changing in appearance over the course of the day), a “bloated” feeling before your period.
Pressure on the limbs is not a trivial matter for circulation: the assessment checks in particular that there is no history of phlebitis or thrombosis, no heart failure, no pregnancy, no wound or skin infection, and no heavy treatment currently under way. If in doubt, we will ask for your doctor's opinion before starting.
This is an aesthetic comfort treatment: it does not constitute a medical procedure, a diagnosis or a therapeutic treatment.
Expected results
Lighter legs as soon as you leave; a less puffy silhouette over a course of sessions.
This is a guide based on averages observed at the institute: results vary depending on skin, age, hormonal profile and how closely the protocol is followed.
Frequently asked questions
Does pressotherapy help you lose weight?
Above all, it de-puffs: the centimetres lost correspond to water and better circulation, not to destroyed fat. For localised fat, we combine it with a treatment that acts on fat cells.
How many sessions are needed?
A single session brings one-off relief (heavy legs, the day before an event). For a lasting result on water retention, allow for a course of one to two sessions a week over a few weeks, adjusted at the assessment.
Warm or cold wrap: what is the difference?
Warm encourages sweating and suits areas where cellulite is well established; cold brings a feeling of freshness and tone, much appreciated for heavy legs or in hot weather. We choose together with you at the start of the session.
Can I have pressotherapy if I have varicose veins?
It depends on how pronounced they are and on your venous history: this is precisely what the assessment checks. If you have a history of phlebitis or if there is any doubt, we ask for your doctor's approval before any session.
What should I wear during the session?
Light clothing or underwear is enough: we provide the suit for the wrap. Please remove any jewellery and watches from your ankles and wrists.
Is it compatible with pregnancy?
No: pressotherapy and active wraps are ruled out during pregnancy. We will be delighted to welcome you afterwards, with the approval of your midwife or doctor.
