Living on Madeira Island means sun, beaches, and light clothing all year round. Naturally, you want to feel confident and comfortable in your body — not worry about cellulite, puffiness, or heavy legs.
At Madeira Beauty, our body contouring treatments are powered by Swiss Storz Medical technology — combining pressure wave, vibration and vacuum therapy to deliver safe, comfortable, and effective results. Each protocol is designed to improve body contours, stimulate lymphatic drainage, enhance skin firmness, and visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite, all without pain or downtime.
Beyond the visible results, you’ll leave each session feeling lighter, refreshed, and deeply relaxed, with an enhanced sense of overall well-being.
What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage or Body Drain?
Lymphatic drainage massage works along the pathways of your lymphatic system to help your body remove excess fluid, reduce congestion, and restore healthy circulation.
Your lymphatic system is your body’s natural drainage network. It removes waste, clears excess fluid, and keeps your tissues balanced. But when it slows down — because of sitting, stress, hormones, heat, or long flights — fluid starts to accumulate. You may notice swollen legs, puffiness, heaviness, and loss of definition. Cellulite can look worse simply because the tissues are holding water.
Our Body Drain protocol uses Storz Medical technology to gently restart lymph flow, release blockages, and help your body drain what it doesn’t need. The treatment is non-invasive and designed to deliver targeted care while remaining comfortable. Most clients experience little to no discomfort and can return to their usual activities immediately after the session, although individual responses may vary.
This treatment may be suitable if you:
- Feel swelling or heaviness in your legs
- Sit or stand for long hours
- Travel frequently or live in a hot climate
- Want to reset your body and support lymphatic health
After the first session:
Many clients describe feeling “lighter” and “less bloated” immediately after the first session.
What Is Cellulite and What Does It Look Like?
Cellulite is a common and harmless change in skin texture that is much more prevalent in women than in men and can occur at any body weight. This is largely related to anatomical differences in the way connective tissue and subcutaneous fat are structured beneath the skin.
It usually appears as dimpling, small depressions, or an uneven “orange peel” texture. Cellulite is most commonly visible on the thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, and upper arms. In mild cases, it may appear only when the skin is pinched or the muscles are contracted; in more pronounced cases, it can also be visible at rest.
Cellulite is not necessarily a sign of excess weight, poor health, or lack of fitness. Genetics, hormones, age, skin elasticity, and changes in body composition can all influence how noticeable it becomes.
Treatments may help improve the appearance and texture of cellulite, but individual results vary, and maintenance sessions may be recommended.
What Is Anti-Cellulite Massage or Body Sculpt?
Anti-cellulite massage is a body contouring treatment focused on improving skin texture and firmness, reducing the “orange peel” effect, breaking down stubborn fat deposits, and creating smoother, more defined contours. Cellulite is a physiological condition which is more prevalent in women than in men, irrespective of the body weight, because of their anatomical differences.
But here’s the key: you can’t sculpt effectively without first addressing lymph flow. That’s why our Body Sculpt and Target Sculpt protocols always start with lymphatic drainage work before moving into focused sculpting techniques.
Using Storz Medical pressure wave, vibration and vacuum therapy, we work to:
- Break down fibrous tissue that creates the bumpy cellulite texture
- Improve microcirculation and skin quality
- Tighten and firm the skin
- Visibly refine your body shape
The treatment is more intensive than pure lymphatic drainage, but still comfortable and controlled — nothing like the painful, bruising techniques some traditional anti-cellulite massages use.
This is for you if you want to:
- Reduce cellulite and improve skin firmness
- Target specific areas like thighs, glutes, stomach, or arms
- Get visible body contouring results without injections or surgery
After the first session:
Some clients notice that the treated areas feel lighter or appear temporarily smoother. More visible changes typically develop gradually over a recommended course of treatments, although individual results may vary.
What Makes Our Massage Different: Storz Medical Technology
Our body treatments go beyond traditional manual massage. We use professional Swiss-engineered STORZ MEDICAL technology, also used in physiotherapy, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and aesthetic treatments.
Depending on the selected protocol, the treatment may combine:
Pressure wave therapy — delivers controlled mechanical impulses to targeted tissue and supports tissue mobilisation.
Vibration therapy — is designed to support local circulation, lymphatic drainage, and muscle relaxation.
Vacuum therapy — gently lifts and mobilises the tissue to complement the treatment.
Together, these technologies allow us to work with different tissue layers and adapt each session according to the treatment area, tissue sensitivity, and individual goals.
The intensity can be adjusted throughout the session, whether the focus is gentle lymphatic drainage or more targeted body sculpting. The treatment is designed to remain comfortable and controlled, although individual sensations and responses may vary.
The aim is to support tissue mobility and improve the visible appearance of skin texture and body contours over a recommended course of treatments. Results develop gradually, vary between individuals, and may require maintenance sessions.
Storz Medical vs Other Body Devices
There are many body-shaping systems available today, including LPG, Endospheres, Icoone, vacuum cups, and various spa devices. These technologies differ in their approach, but many are primarily positioned for aesthetic applications, with a focus on supporting circulation and temporarily improving the appearance of skin texture.
When researching equipment for Madeira Beauty, we carefully considered systems such as Endospheres and Icoone. Our priority, however, was to find a platform that offered greater versatility, adjustable treatment intensity, and applications extending beyond short-term aesthetic improvements.
This led us to STORZ MEDICAL, a Swiss medical technology company with a long-standing background in rehabilitation, sports medicine, and aesthetic treatments.
Rather than focusing solely on the skin’s surface, STORZ MEDICAL technology allows us to work with different tissue layers and adapt each treatment to connective tissue, fascia, muscle tension, and local circulation.
For our practice, this provides a more comprehensive and personalised approach to lymphatic drainage and body sculpting. Treatment intensity can be adjusted according to individual sensitivity, treatment areas, and personal goals.
Results typically develop gradually over a recommended course of treatments. Individual responses vary, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to support longer-term improvements.
What Results Can You Expect?
After the first session: Many clients report feeling lighter, less puffy, and less bloated.
After 4–6 sessions: You may begin to notice smoother-looking skin, a reduction in the visible appearance of cellulite, and more defined body contours.
After 10 sessions: With consistent treatment, improvements in the appearance of body shape, skin firmness, and overall tone may become more established.
Results develop progressively, and many clients begin to notice changes in how their body feels and looks within the first few weeks. Completing the recommended course helps support a more consistent outcome, although individual experiences and results may vary.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
Body contouring and lymphatic drainage treatments generally work best as part of a planned course. Some clients notice an initial difference after their first session, but for more visible improvements in body contours and the appearance of cellulite, we typically recommend a course of approximately 10 sessions.
Recommended schedule
Up to two sessions per week during the initial active phase, when appropriate, to support progressive and consistent results.
After completing your course
Maintenance sessions every 3–4 weeks may help support your results, maintain lymphatic well-being, and reduce the tendency for fluid retention to return.
Every body responds differently, so the exact number and frequency of sessions will depend on your starting point, treatment goals, lifestyle, and individual response. During your first visit, we will assess your needs and create a realistic, personalized treatment plan.
What Happens During a Session?
You arrive in comfortable clothing and relax on our treatment table. Before beginning, we take a few moments to assess your individual concerns, such as heaviness in the legs, cellulite in specific areas, or general puffiness.
We then apply a specialised treatment gel and use STORZ MEDICAL technology along the lymphatic pathways and selected treatment areas. Clients often describe a gentle, warming, or rhythmic sensation. The intensity can be adjusted throughout the session according to your sensitivity, treatment goals, and the area being treated.
The treatment is designed to remain comfortable, and many clients find the experience deeply relaxing. Individual sensations may vary.
A typical session lasts approximately 60 minutes, and most clients can return to their usual activities immediately afterward. Some notice that they feel lighter and less bloated soon after the session, although individual responses vary.
What Else Can Storz Medical Do? Pain Relief & Rehabilitation
STORZ MEDICAL technology is used not only in aesthetic body treatments but also in physiotherapy, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal pain management.
At MB Performance, we use the same professional platform as part of personalized programs designed to support mobility, manage musculoskeletal discomfort, and help clients return to their usual activities.
Depending on individual assessment and suitability, this technology may be incorporated into programs for concerns such as back discomfort, knee injuries, shoulder stiffness, persistent muscle tension, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Treatment is tailored to the individual and may help support pain management, tissue mobility, muscle relaxation, and functional movement. Results and recovery timelines vary according to the condition, treatment plan, and individual response.
Whether you are an athlete, spend long hours sitting at a desk, or are recovering from an injury or surgery, we begin with a careful assessment and create a clear, personalized plan based on your needs and goals. Where appropriate, treatment may require medical clearance or coordination with another healthcare professional.
