The essentials
When do I need Lighten Legs Therapy?
During pregnancy, it's common for expectant mums to experience swelling, particularly in the legs, feet, and hands. This is caused by increased fluid retention and changes in blood circulation as the body adapts to support the growing baby. It's a natural and normal part of pregnancy, but it can lead to discomfort and sometimes even pain.
As pregnancy progresses, the body produces approximately 50% more blood and body fluids to support the baby's development. The increased blood volume and pressure in the veins can cause fluids to accumulate in the tissues, resulting in swelling or oedema.
Additionally, the growing uterus may exert pressure on blood vessels, further contributing to fluid retention in the lower extremities. Lighten Legs Therapy is built for exactly that moment, when the body is doing what it should but the legs are letting you know.
The technology
How does Lighten Legs Therapy work?
We believe every expectant mum deserves gentle care and pampering during their pregnancy journey. Lighten Legs Therapy is a safe and nurturing option, providing relaxation, improved circulation, and enhanced skin health all in one session.
It uses a patented mechanostimulation technology to encourage lymphatic drainage, which significantly alleviates discomfort and promotes overall well-being during pregnancy. By aiding in the removal of excess fluids and toxins from the body, the treatment enhances the natural drainage process and reduces swelling in the legs and other affected areas.
Mums can expect to leave their sessions feeling lighter, more comfortable, and rejuvenated. The change is usually noticeable by the time you stand up at the end of the session.

Before the session
Preparation and Consultation
Before any treatment, we conduct a thorough consultation to understand your specific needs and health status during pregnancy. Our consultant will discuss your pregnancy stage, concerns, and medical history, then walk you through what to expect in the room.
We use the LPG device at a safe and gentle intensity level, ensuring it is well-suited for expectant mums. Regular sessions, one to two per week, are recommended to maintain and compound the benefits.
During the session
Treatment Techniques
You'll be comfortably positioned on your side or in a semi-reclined position, fully supported with pillows to ensure optimal comfort. Using LPG's gentle endermologie® technology, the therapist glides the device along your legs to stimulate lymphatic drainage, improve blood circulation, and reduce fluid retention.
The treatment is completely non-invasive and relaxing, with a gentle suction-like motion that works just beneath the skin's surface. You can speak up at any time if you'd like the intensity adjusted.
Where the work happens
Focus Areas
This therapy targets the thighs and calves to alleviate heaviness, swelling, and fatigue in the legs. The treatment is ideal for relieving discomfort caused by long hours of standing, pregnancy-related circulation issues, or general leg fatigue across the working day.
Clients are encouraged to communicate their comfort levels at any time throughout the session. If a particular area is more tender than usual, your therapist will adjust the pressure and pacing. There's nothing about Lighten Legs Therapy that's meant to be uncomfortable.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
I have a problem with water retention. Is endermologie® an effective solution?
Yes. Endermologie® treatments stimulate circulatory exchanges to eliminate excess water while providing an immediate and lasting sensation of well-being. Over the course of your sessions, your legs become more streamlined and regain their natural shape, while the overall quality of your skin improves.
Is it painful?
No, the treatment is very pleasant. Settings are customised depending on skin sensitivity. After the first few minutes, you can feel a “cellular awakening” and the acceleration of blood circulation. The skin is re-oxygenated and a feeling of well-being sets in. It is a unique sensory experience.
What are the contraindications?
Strict contraindications to endermologie® include:
- Cancer in progression
- Infection or skin rash
- Disease with inflammatory eruption
- Anticoagulant treatment
- Blood disease
- Organ transplants (kidney, liver, etc.)
- Kidney failure
People with hypothyroidism, diabetes, or undergoing long-term corticosteroid treatment respond less well to our treatments. In case of doubt, please consult your general practitioner or your attending physician.
Why do I need to wear a special endermowear™ suit?
The endermowear™ suit is the outfit to be worn during a Body endermologie® session. Strictly for personal use, it guarantees perfect hygiene and its opaque areas respect your privacy during the treatment. The unique composition of the endermowear™ suit provides excellent grab of the skin fold for an even more effective endermologie® session.
