Madero therapy is 100% safe and effective.

People who are either looking to shape their body, relax their muscles, eliminate the cellulite from their body or simply tighten and tone their body, should go for this therapy. This therapy has multiple benefits as discussed. If you are among the people who are looking for a perfect body but don’t want to go for any surgical remedies,  this treatment is for you.

 As this therapy is performed using wooden instruments and tools, the therapy hurts. Usually, people find the first few sessions tough and then find Madero Therapy more relaxing than painful. Remember, it is going to take much more pressure to break cellulite for the parts of your body where you have the most of it which tend to hurt, but afterward, the feeling is quite relaxing.

The recommended treatment protocol is 2-3 times per week 5-6 sessions to see optimal results.

The therapy has a firming effect on the skin, as it activates the production of elastin/collagen, toning, sculpting and improving blood circulation. It can help reduce stress levels, activate cell renewal, treat cellulite by reducing fat deposits, and fight different pain such as back or neck. Being considered a holistic technique, it is also characterized by energy stimulation and deep relaxation that brings well-being and tranquillity.

There may be a possibility of bruising when receiving wood/metal therapy. Bruising can be common from:

• Alcohol in your system 
• Liver Disease
• Vitamin Deficiencies
• Type of cellulite

• Diabetes– the body’s inability or lowered ability to regulate blood sugar and fat levels can significantly hinder the proper removal of fat cell contents from the lymphatic system, thus lowering the overall effectiveness of the treatments
• Thyroid problems– thyroid regulates overall metabolism of the body, thus it can deter the proper disposal of fat contents from the body, and hence also lower the overall effectiveness of the treatments
• Current or history of skin cancer or pre-malignant moles– In order to avoid and prevent any further irritation to these conditions, treatment of body areas with these conditions should not be performed. We recommend you talk with your physician before committing to any treatment.
• Any active skin conditions– It is best to schedule treatment when any skin conditions in treatment areas such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, herpes and rashes are no longer active to avoid and prevent any further irritation of skin.
