What It Does
A Hundred-Year-Old
Modality, Modernized
Maderoterapia originated in Colombia and has been used in South American studios for decades. We adopted it after years of skepticism — the results convinced us.
- 01Visibly Smooths CelluliteThe dimpling on outer thighs and glutes responds well to consistent wood therapy. Most clients see clear texture change by session four.
- 02Stimulates Lymph FlowThe wooden contours move surface lymph in patterns hands alone can't reach. A side benefit beyond the aesthetic effect.
- 03Refines Skin Tone & TextureCrepey or dimpled skin tightens visibly across the series. Best results in clients with mild-to-moderate laxity.
- 04No BruisingUnlike cupping or aggressive deep tissue, wood therapy is firm but kind to surface tissue. Clients walk out unmarked.
- 05Stacks With Sculpt & ToneMany clients combine 30 minutes of wood with 60 minutes of sculpt. Ask about the combined visit.

Common Questions
Wood Therapy, Answered
Firm but not painful. The pressure is steady, not sharp. Most clients describe it as a deep, satisfying sensation.
No modality permanently eliminates cellulite. Wood therapy reduces its visibility substantially when performed consistently.
Hands-only application means we can adjust pressure, angle, and rhythm in real time. Machines can't — and the difference shows by week four.
Rarely. Some clients show very faint redness for an hour. True bruising is uncommon and means the pressure was too aggressive — we adjust.
