In brief

Conventional pressotherapy inflates boots chamber by chamber, with successive pressures. STARVAC Pressodynamie® applies dynamic, rhythmic and enveloping pressure thanks to the patented Active Wave® and DG2P® technologies, with up to 12 times more stimulations per cycle than conventional pressotherapy. The result: a feeling of lighter legs from the very first session.

Conventional pressotherapy

Pressotherapy uses boots (and sometimes a belt or sleeves) divided into chambers that inflate one after the other, from the feet to the top of the thighs. It supports circulatory return and brings a feeling of lightness.

STARVAC Pressodynamie®

Pressodynamie® goes further: instead of successive pressures, it applies dynamic, rhythmic and enveloping pressure. It is based on two patented STARVAC technologies, Active Wave® and DG2P®, built into the PSX Active Wave®.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pressodynamie® a form of pressotherapy?

It is an evolution of pressotherapy: it also uses boots, but with dynamic, enveloping pressure.

Yes, clients describe a relaxing wave-like sensation.

When should you see a doctor?

In case of sudden swelling, in one leg only, with pain or redness, see a doctor before any treatment.
