Wood therapy
Wood therapy, also known as maderotherapy or wooden sculpting, is a type of massage technique used in cosmetic procedures to contour the body, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and improve the texture of the skin.
It involves the use of specially designed wooden tools, typically made from various types of wood such as rosewood, beechwood, or bamboo, to massage and manipulate the skin and underlying tissues.
During a wood therapy session, we use different wooden tools of various shapes and sizes to perform targeted massage movements on. We apply varying degrees of pressure and strokes to the skin, aiming to break down cellulite, stimulate circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage.
The benefits of wood therapy include:
1. Cellulite reduction
The massage movements performed with wooden tools help break down fat deposits and smooth out the appearance of cellulite on the skin´s surface.
2. Body contouring
Wood therapy helps sculpt and shape the body by targeting specific areas of concern, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms.
3. Improved circulation
The massage techniques used in wood therapy help stimulate blood flow to the treated area, which promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells and aid in the removal of toxins and metabolic waste products.
4. Lymphatic drainage
Wood therapy facilitates the movement of lymphatic fluid through the lymphatic system, helping to reduce swelling and promote detoxification.
Wood therapy treatments
Wood therapy is typically performed as a series of sessions to achieve optimal results, and works best combined with other cosmetic treatments such as radiofrequency therapy or vacuum therapy for enhanced benefits.
We offer all these treatments as part of our Body Contouring treatments.
