Air Press
The AIRPRESS is the most accredited technique for maintenance of healthy limbs. This can be carried out daily and there are no particular counter-indications, with the exception of acute phlebitis, advanced pregnancy and the presence of varicose veins and so drip-thrombosis. Recent experimentation has shown without any doubt that the use of an airpress gives such considerable benefits that it is no longer considered an auxiliary system, but rather an indispensable means of removing alterations derived from venous-lymphatic problems. The instrument’s internal programs (of which there are four in addition to the personalized program, used by clients in particular situations) are an absolutely essential element.

LEG UNIT
LEG UNIT
The AIRPRESS with a physiological leg unit, is quite rightly considered by all specialists to be the most effective treatment to remove morbosis due to venous and lymphatic stasis, which affects the legs of many women.
Given the close relation between stasis and cellulite, the fundamental need to treat stasis clearly is of great benefit to patients.
The leg units used must therefore possess the following requisites:
Given the close relation between stasis and cellulite, the fundamental need to treat stasis clearly is of great benefit to patients.
The leg units used must therefore possess the following requisites:
- Optimal compression of the venous area
- Progressive and slowly increasing compression (peristaltic, constant and draining)
- Perfect contact with the entire limb
- Graded compression to the surface, as for manual massages
- Strong compression only in swollen areas
- Short compression times
- Perfect interstitial drainage
LEG-SECTION UNIT
The Leg-section unit is the most physiological aesthetic air-press leg unit available on the market. As such it guarantees a CONTINUAL DYNAMIC and progressive compression and it always maintains, in virtually all circumstances a perfect fit with the limb. Its effect is similar to that we would have if the limb were drained by two enormous pairs of hands. When the first pair squeezes most, the second then starts to squeeze. When this one reaches its highest compression, the first reduces pressure and moves above the second, beginning again to squeeze and so on up to the groin. Usually, the draining pressure always begins at the inferior extremity. For the leg, first the venous area is compressed and then the pressure moves towards the calves, and so on.
As is well known, venous and lymphatic circulation does not have its own principal pump that can mobilize the flow, but instead uses a series of indirect mechanisms including compression of the venous area of special swallow tail valves, compression from the flexing of muscles and so on...
When these mechanisms are altered, drainage of tissues slows down, forming edemas and lymphedemas, which if chronic cause the devastation, which we can see every day in millions of women’s legs.

WHOLE LEG UNIT
Here there is total compression and stimulation over the whole limb. It cannot be used with venous-lymphatic drainage, which always starts at the extremity.
SECTOR BINDING
This creates considerable drainage towards the external area not covered by the binding. There is a possibility of medium-high return drainage which could break the venous (varicous) veins.
PROGRAMS
PERISTALTIC PROGRAM
The first program is called peristaltic. It is a treatment, which has given research level results concerning the speed of venous blood flow following compression, at parity of massage tolerance. The modality which favours these results can be found in the compression-decompression phases, from the feet to the abdomen. The patient, once the leg unit is placed as comfortably as possible, then undergoes the massage, which can create pressure on the inferior limbs and the abdomen in order to remove slowed or stagnant venous-lymphatic circulation. This in turn aids the return of venous liquid in the large veins of the abdomen and of the chest, which subsequently aids urinal filtering of the kidneys. At the end of this process, all liquids are then eliminated through urination.
ELEPHANTIASIS PROGRAM
The second program is called elephantiasis. This treatment, starting from the more distal sectors, compresses all the inferior limbs up to the abdomen. This is very much indicated for venous insufficiency and is the fastest program (as a sequence), but also the most difficult to bear. Therefore, for this reason it needs a recovery phase, so as not to interfere continuously with arterial pressure, which acts in the opposite direction.
ARTERIAL PROGRAM
The third program is called arterial. It is descendant and is very useful for atrial problems, therefore indicated for arteriopathologies. Generally, it aids the pumping action of atrial vessels, helping the distal perfusion of the lower limbs.
DRAINAGE PROGRAM
The fourth drainage program, has 36 steps, each one of which is programmable according to specific needs. This treatment, aids drainage of liquids in the groin area and in the collection points in the lower areas of the back thanks to its repeated massage on the limb.
