Maderotherapy is one of the most sought-after body treatments in recent years — and one of the questions we hear most often at the salon: how much does it cost, and does it actually work? In this guide we answer both, without the marketing spin.
What Is Maderotherapy
Maderotherapy is a hands-on massage technique using wooden tools (rollers, bell-shaped pieces, boards) that originated in Colombia. The therapist uses tools of different shapes to follow the line of the muscles and lymphatic system, with the goal of:
- boosting circulation and lymphatic drainage,
- breaking down fatty tissue deposits and reducing the appearance of cellulite,
- firming and toning the skin and tissue,
- releasing tense muscles with deeper pressure than a classic massage.
If you were looking for a classic massage: we no longer do relax or sports massage — maderotherapy is the only body treatment we offer.
Unlike machines, wooden tools let the therapist precisely control pressure zone by zone — which is why maderotherapy remains a hands-on craft, not a mechanical treatment.

How Many Sessions You Need for Results
This is the most important expectation to set realistically: a single session is not enough for a visible change. Maderotherapy works cumulatively — through a series:
- A series of 8–10 sessions, 2–3 times a week, is the standard protocol for cellulite and firming.
- The first effects on circulation and a feeling of lightness in the legs can be noticed after just 2–3 sessions.
- After the series, results are maintained with 1–2 sessions a month.
Results also depend on hydration, diet, and movement — maderotherapy is a booster, not a replacement for healthy habits.
Does Maderotherapy Hurt
The pressure is stronger than in a relaxation massage and can feel uncomfortable in zones with more cellulite, but it should never be painful — the therapist adjusts the intensity to your tolerance. Mild skin redness after the treatment is normal and fades within a few hours. Bruising is not the goal of the treatment; we use a technique specifically designed to avoid it.
Who Should Avoid Maderotherapy
We don't recommend maderotherapy during pregnancy, for acute inflammation or skin infections in the treated area, advanced-stage varicose veins, or blood clotting disorders. If you're not sure, get in touch with us before booking — a consultation costs nothing.
