Understanding
What is the feeling of heavy legs?
Heavy legs are among the concerns most frequently raised in the salon. They show up as a feeling of tension, swelling, fatigue or discomfort, especially at the end of the day or in hot weather.
01
Tired legs
A feeling of tension and heaviness that builds up over the day, especially after standing or sitting for a long time.
02
Swollen legs
A feeling of congestion, often around the ankles and calves, that makes the legs less comfortable.
03
Water retention
The tissues hold more water: the figure looks less harmonious and watery cellulite can set in.
A professional approach helps identify the priority areas and build a suitable protocol, combining drainage, mechanical stimulation and personalised support.
The causes
Why do legs feel heavy?
Several factors can encourage the feeling of heavy legs. They can slow down exchanges in the tissues and cause a feeling of congestion or discomfort.
01
A sedentary lifestyle
Lack of physical activity slows down exchanges in the tissues: the legs become congested more easily.
02
Prolonged standing
Standing for a long time or shuffling around accentuates the feeling of heaviness at the end of the day.
03
Heat
In warm weather, heat accentuates the feeling of swelling and discomfort in the legs.
04
Hormonal changes
Hormonal changes encourage a tendency to retain water, particularly at certain times of the cycle.
The STARVAC answer
Salon drainage for light legs
STARVAC mechanical technologies work the tissues progressively and in a targeted way to encourage exchanges, support drainage and bring a real feeling of lightness. Depending on the needs identified, the professional can adapt the intensity, the areas treated and the frequency of sessions.

How it works
Building a tailored course
For coherent support, each course is built around the client's activity, lifestyle, tissue quality and how often she feels discomfort.
01
The assessment
The STARVAC DIAG® assessment helps understand the client's profile, including her tendency to retain water.
02
Starting the course
Several closely spaced sessions at the start of the course to establish the feeling of lightness.
03
Follow-up
Regular evaluation makes it possible to adjust the protocol, observe progress and gradually space out sessions.
04
Maintenance
Maintenance sessions extend the feeling of lightness and comfort.
