Pressotherapy.
Time to recharge.
Pressotherapy is a body treatment built around gentle, rhythmic air compression. Explore a different kind of self-care at PDX Aesthetic Medical Center.
Pressotherapy
01 / THE TREATMENT
Rhythmic care
for the body.
Pressotherapy uses air-filled garments that inflate and release in a sequence. You can feel the compression move through the treated area as the machine cycles.
It's an equipment-based service with a very different experience from vacuum roller or radiofrequency body contouring. We’ll talk through the session and help you decide if it fits what you’re looking for.
02 / WHY PEOPLE BOOK
A moment of
lightness.
The center shared these reasons clients ask about Pressotherapy. How you feel and respond can vary from person to person.
Rhythmic compression
The garments inflate and release in sequence to encourage movement of fluid and blood flow through the treated area.
Fluid-related concerns
Ask us about temporary swelling or the appearance of cellulite associated with fluid retention.
A refreshed feeling
Some clients seek a smoother-looking skin appearance as part of their body-care routine.
Time to unwind
The repeated pressure and release can feel like a gentle massage.
A personal conversation
Tell us about your goals, including questions about body tone, inflammation, or recovery after a procedure.
Pressotherapy is an aesthetic compression service. It does not replace care for varicose veins, inflammation, or a medical condition. If you recently had liposuction or another procedure, check with your surgeon before booking.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Good to know.
Here are the details people ask about most often.
What does Pressotherapy feel like?
You’ll feel the garment gently press and release in a repeating sequence. Tell us if the pressure feels uncomfortable so the session can be adjusted.
Is it the same as Body Contouring?
No. Pressotherapy uses sequential air compression. Our Body Contouring page covers separate vacuum and radiofrequency options.
Should I mention a health condition before booking?
Yes. Let us know about relevant health concerns before your appointment. If you've had blood clots or a serious circulation problem, seek medical advice before a compression treatment.
Does Pressotherapy detox the body or prevent varicose veins?
We do not promise detoxification or prevention of varicose veins. If you have concerns about your veins, swelling, or circulation, speak with a medical professional before booking.
Can I book after liposuction?
Ask your surgeon when compression treatments are appropriate for you after a procedure. We can discuss an appointment once you have their clearance.
How often can I schedule a visit?
There isn’t one schedule for everyone. We can discuss your goals and the frequency that makes sense for your circumstances.
