Machine Lymphatic Drainage (Pressotherapy)

Machine lymphatic drainage, also called pressotherapy, performed on the BTL Lymphastim Topline. You wear an inflatable garment whose chambers fill in sequence to gently squeeze the legs, abdomen or arms in waves, mimicking manual lymphatic massage to move fluid toward the lymph nodes. At Cellulite Centrum Brno it is offered on its own in 30- or 45-minute sessions and as discounted courses of eight, and is frequently paired with the studio's shockwave, cryolipolysis and body-wrap programmes to help clear released fluid and fat.

Machine lymphatic drainage uses sequential compression rather than hands to stimulate the lymphatic system. At Cellulite Centrum Brno the treatment is delivered with the BTL Lymphastim Topline, a pressotherapy unit connected to a garment of overlapping air chambers worn over the legs, hips, abdomen or arms. The chambers inflate and deflate in a programmed wave from the extremities toward the centre of the body, which is intended to encourage lymph flow, mobilise interstitial fluid and support the metabolic and immune processes that clear waste, while also providing a comfortable, even massage. Compared with manual lymphatic drainage it is faster and lower cost, which is why the studio uses it both as a stand-alone wellness treatment and as a support step in its contouring courses. A session lasts either thirty or forty-five minutes. You lie down fully clothed in light garments, the boots or sleeves are fitted, and the pressure cycle runs while you rest; most people find it relaxing and there is no downtime. It is commonly chosen for heavy, swollen or tired legs, for general detox and metabolism support, for post-procedure care after cryolipolysis or shockwave, and as part of cellulite and body-contouring programmes where clearing released fat and fluid matters. Because compression affects the circulatory and lymphatic systems, the studio lists contraindications including acute inflammation or infection, fever, pregnancy, cardiovascular disease or arrhythmia, recent heart attack, a pacemaker, thrombophlebitis, epilepsy and untreated kidney, thyroid, liver or malignant disease. Drinking plenty of water afterwards is encouraged, and results for swelling and comfort are usually noticeable immediately while contouring benefits build over a course.
