A Madera Therapy session begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns and goals, followed by application of specialized oils to prepare the skin. Your therapist then systematically works on target areas using 5-7 different wooden tools, each with a specific purpose: rolling pins break down fat deposits, cupping tools create suction to improve circulation, sculpting tools target precise areas for contouring, and lymphatic drainage tools help eliminate toxins. The session concludes with gentle stretching movements to enhance results.

Madera Therapy involves deep tissue manipulation that most clients describe as intense pressure rather than pain—similar to a very deep tissue massage. Sensitivity varies by individual and treatment area, with areas that have more cellulite or fat deposits typically being more sensitive initially. The sensation is often described as a 'good hurt' that indicates effective treatment. Any discomfort typically decreases with subsequent sessions as circulation improves and tissues become more pliable. Our therapists adjust pressure based on your comfort level and communicate throughout the session to ensure you're comfortable while still achieving optimal results.

Many clients report feeling immediate effects after their first session, including a sensation of lightness, reduced bloating, and visibly smoother skin texture. However, measurable contouring results typically become noticeable after 3-4 sessions. For significant cellulite reduction and body sculpting, a series of 8-10 treatments is recommended. Results are cumulative and progressive, with optimal outcomes appearing toward the end of your treatment series. Longevity of results depends on lifestyle factors—maintaining adequate hydration, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can extend results for 3-6 months. Monthly maintenance sessions are recommended to preserve and enhance your results long-term.

Unlike machine-based treatments that use technology to address fat and cellulite, Madera Therapy employs manual techniques with wooden tools that allow for customized pressure and direction based on your body's unique needs. Compared to treatments like cavitation or radiofrequency, Madera Therapy offers more comprehensive benefits by simultaneously addressing multiple concerns: breaking down fat deposits, improving lymphatic drainage, enhancing circulation, reducing water retention, and smoothing cellulite. Many clients appreciate the holistic, natural approach without electricity or chemicals. For optimal results, we often recommend combining Madera Therapy with other treatments like cavitation (for targeted fat reduction) or RF therapy (for skin tightening) in a comprehensive body contouring program.
