Q & A
1. How does the BTL Lymphastim Pneumatic Pressotherapy machine work ?
Our BTL Lymphastim Pneumatic Pressotherapy machine is a non-invasive therapeutic and intelligent device that is controlled by sophisticated algorithms driven by a powerful proprietary computer.
Different from all the other pressotherapy products, all BTL Lymphastim Pneumatic Pressotherapy machines feature a series of 12 overlapping air chambers designed for a precise and more efficient therapy.
This device works using the pneumatic pressotherapy principle.
The limb to be treated is inserted into a sleeve fitted with multiple overlapping and inflatable chambers that provide a gentle and continuous intelligent massage.
Each sleeve consists of a series of 12 or less separated and independent air chambers that are inflated in a predefined and programmable cycle tuned to the specific needs of the client.
This therapeutic and computer controlled machine is used to improve the lymph and the blood flow in the lower and upper extremities. It thus stimulates the natural circulation of the lymph and the blood through the whole body.

4. How should I prepare for a pressotherapy treatment ?

Compression stockings or jeans should not be worn during your pressotherapy treatment.
If you want to have a pressotherapy treatment for your arms, we recommend that you wear a long sleeve soft / comfortable shirt.
Because a pressotherapy treatment will accelerate the circulation of fluids in your system, we suggest that you don’t drink a too much water before your treatment.
5. How long does a pressotherapy treatment last ?
The treatment is offered in predefined cycles according to the precise needs of the client.
It can last between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the treatment plan chosen and fine tuned by your therapist.
6. How much pressure is used during a pressotherapy treatment ?
The safety of our clients is our first concern.
We will always begin with a lower pressure of about 20mmhg, then we will step up to 30 or 35mmhg if needed and according to your feelings during the treatment.
During the duration of your treatment your therapist will follow you closely to make sure that you are comfortable and fully secure.
7. How often should I take pressotherapy treatments ?
Since it is a totally natural and non-invasive way to provide you with a thorough lymphatic and blood drainage, normally it might take one or two treatments a week ; about 10 to 15 treatments in all to obtain a convincing and lasting result.
8. Does pressotherapy have any side effects ?
The pressotherapy treatment provided by the BTL Lymphastim Pressotherapy machine is ergonomically safe and non-invasive.
But there might be possible side effects such as a temporary increase of sensitivity ; petechiae, or hematoma.
If the pressure exceeds the recommended level, it could result in capillary rupture, but your therapist will make sure that this will not happen.
