It's the million-dollar question. How many times do I have to do pressotherapy on my legs per week? Probably the first one you asked yourself when considering buying equipment or signing up for a package at your aesthetic center.

"Okay, this sounds great, but... How long will it take to see my legs deflated? Do I have to do it every day?"

The short answer is: it depends. Depends on what? Whether you go to a clinic or have the equipment at home. And this is where everything changes. Today we will break down the ideal frequency according to your goals (fluid retention, lipedema, sports, or cellulite) and why the key to success is not "intensity," but "frequency."

The weekly session in a clinic

In the field of aesthetic medicine, it is common to schedule between 1 and 2 sessions per week. This recommendation usually responds more to the availability of the patient and the center than to the actual need of the body.

From a vascular perspective, fluid retention is a daily cumulative process. Therefore, spacing the treatment 5 or 6 days significantly reduces its preventive and maintenance effectiveness. For this reason, having pressotherapy boots at home is key. It allows transforming a one-time treatment into a continuous maintenance therapy, but from the comfort of your home.

Treatment according to your goals

To optimize the use of your pressotherapy equipment on the legs, we have defined three protocols based on the benefits of its use:

1 To relieve heaviness in the legs

Recommended for users with mild venous insufficiency, sensation of heaviness, or swelling in the ankles.

  • Recommended frequency: 4 to 6 sessions per week.
  • Guideline: 30-minute sessions at the end of the day.
  • Its benefits: Relief is immediate after the first session. Mechanical pneumatic compression facilitates venous return. Continuity is key to prevent heaviness from returning.

2 To treat cellulite

Recommended to improve skin texture and cellulite.

  • Recommended frequency: 3 or 4 sessions per week.
  • Guideline: Consistency is vital to impact the subcutaneous tissue. By improving circulation recurrently, it promotes the drainage of toxins accumulated in the legs.
  • Technical note: Cellulite usually concentrates on the hips and buttocks. Pressotherapy boots that end at the groin do not treat these areas. That is why it is necessary to use pressotherapy boots up to the abdomen, like the HighFly Pro for a complete treatment.
  • Results: Improvement is usually noticeable after 3-4 weeks of continuous use.

3 After post-workout

Recommended for endurance athletes, strength athletes, or high-impact disciplines.

  • Guideline: Use after high load or volume sessions. A 30-minute session reduces acute muscle inflammation.
  • Answer: Significant reduction of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and recovery of mobility and muscle freshness for the next training session.

"The key to success in pressotherapy is not to do a very intense session once a month, but to maintain a constant frequency. Your body appreciates daily care much more."

Why technology helps you be consistent

It’s useless to have the best equipment in the world if it stays stored in the closet. For pressotherapy to work, the key is consistency. And for you to be consistent (those 3 or 4 times a week), the equipment must be comfortable and easy to use.

That’s why, when designing the Highfly Pro pressotherapy boots, we focused on three things:

  • Total freedom: Thanks to its long-lasting battery, you don’t need to be plugged in. You can do your session relaxed on the sofa, in bed, or on the terrace. If it’s easy to put on and use, you won’t feel lazy.
  • A more pleasant experience: Since it is a full pant and not just boots, the massage does not stay only on the legs. Feeling relief also in the lumbar area and the glutes is so pleasant that it stops being a "treatment" to become your favorite moment of the day.
  • Guaranteed professional effectiveness: They have the same compression strength (260mmHg) as the large machines in specialized centers. You have the peace of mind knowing that every session you do at home is just as effective as if you had gone to the clinic.

Consistency in pressotherapy is more important than intensity

To see real changes in your legs, being consistent with the treatment is much more effective than doing a very intense session occasionally.

Having professional equipment at home is the only way to achieve that daily routine that transforms your legs in the long run. If you are looking for a definitive solution, our advice is clear. Always choose pressotherapy boots that cover from the feet to the abdomen, and that have professional power.
