The palpate-roll
Manual or mechanical, it sucks the skin and palpates it in order to activate blood and lymphatic circulation, which is always slowed down in areas engorged with cellulite. The water trapped in the tissues is recirculated, the waste eliminated. The orange peel is fading. Another advantage is that the tissues are firmer. Manual massage by a physiotherapist is less and less practiced, in favor of very sophisticated devices. The most powerful is the Celllul M6 which is used with a pantyhose and reproduces, by amplifying them, the manual palpating-rolling movements.
Other devices, the Skin Tonic or the Thalgo Shaper for example, massage more gently and are recommended for women with poor venous circulation.
Conditions: Between 40 and 60 euros per session, at a physiotherapist or in a beauty salon.
Lymphatic drainage
Recommended for all those suffering from heavy legs and swelling, this very gentle massage stimulates lymph circulation and promotes the evacuation of toxins. The therapist stimulates, by very gentle pressure movements, the lymphatic cisterns located at the beginning of the neck and below the diaphragm. Then, it gently presses on all the lymph nodes in the body, first going down from the top to the bottom, then going up again. During the whole session, we have the impression of floating. We come out totally relaxed with a great feeling of lightness of the whole body.
Conditions: around 70 euros per session
