The lymphatic drainage
Together with the blood, the lymph represents the means by which the interstitial liquid give and
receive nutrients, refusal and regulation substances (hormones) that are needed to maintain the
integrity and the cell functionality. Compared with blood, lymph is not pushed by the cardiac
activity, but it flows in the vessels because of the muscle action. These tissues, by contracting and
relaxing, act like a real pump. When this action does not occur, for example due to immobilization,
the lymph tends to stagnate, amassing in the tissues. This is the reason why feet and ankles swallow
when standing for a long time in a static position.
The “drainage” concept refers to the starting of the liquid from the area where it has been amassed
towards an outfall point.
The lymph drainage supports not only this flow, by moving the liquids in the body, but it also acts
to unblock the obstructed channels.
It is an effective technique also to prevent and reduce the unaesthetic orange-peel aspect of cellulite.
It is indicated in the treatment of pathologies (post-surgical edema, scars), but in this case we
suggest that the medical prescription must be specific and personalized.
The programs of drainage and lymphatic massage, carried out with the electrostimulator, can be
used daily and are indicated especially for those who suffer from limb swelling or show, at the end
of the day, a sense of muscle fatigue.
Thanks to the rhythmic contractions induced by the electrostimulator (programs that link the
stimulation in frequency modulation to the amplitude modulation), the so-called “pump effect” is
obtained and it permits a reabsorption both of the water component and of the protein component
inside the lymphatic ducts.
Firming/Toning
Some factors, such as sudden loss of weight, pre- and post-cellulite status or pregnancy, often affect
in a negative way elasticity and the tone of skin and muscle tissue, making some body parts flabby
and less tonic.
The “Firming” programs of our electrostimulators are specific and indicated for this kind of
problem, as they permit to act locally on the muscle tone involved.
Muscle tone activities are instead intended to increase the percentage of lean mass and therefore to
give more consistence and shape to the muscle tone.
Specific breast cleavage and arm firming treatment
Breast, cleavage and arms are the first areas in the feminine body that show symptoms of muscle
relaxation. As for the breast, among the factors that determine its relaxation, reduction and the
appearance of stretch marks, it is to mention especially pregnancy and lactation and too drastic and
rapid loss of weight and hormone disorders. The only support musculature of the breast consists in
the pectoral muscles situated in the area above.
The mammary area, therefore, is one of the parts of the feminine body more exposed to the problem
of muscle-skin relaxation. The cleavage is instead one of the areas more exposed to the damages of
sun exposure; the consequent skin degeneration prematurely arises with the appearance of spots,
keratosis and dehydration. As for the internal part of the arms, we can notice how the skin flaws
most spread are cellulite, loss of volume, skin relaxation and stretch marks.
The electrostimulation can be useful in tackling these problems by using specific firming programs
for women daily.
