Arosha Body
Wrap with Pressotherapy in Dubai

What the bandage does

An Arosha bandage is a length of elastic fabric already soaked in a concentrated serum, used once and discarded. Wound firmly around a limb it does three things. It applies light, even compression, which on its own pushes some interstitial fluid back into the veins and lymphatics. It occludes the skin, so the surface warms slightly and stops losing water, and a warm, hydrated stratum corneum lets water-soluble ingredients penetrate better than a cream rubbed in and left to dry. And it holds the serum in contact with the skin for the entire session instead of the minute a massage takes.

The serums combine caffeine, Centella asiatica and marine algae extracts. Caffeine is the best-studied topical cellulite ingredient and is used in cosmetic products for its effect on fat-cell metabolism and microcirculation; Centella is used for its effect on small vessels and skin firmness; algae extracts supply minerals and moisturise. We describe them as skin-conditioning ingredients, because the published evidence for topical products on cellulite comes from small trials of creams applied twice daily for months, not from a wrap worn for half an hour. The visible effect after a wrap is hydrated, smoother, slightly firmer-feeling skin, and it fades as the ingredients wear off.

What pressotherapy does

Pressotherapy is the cosmetic name for intermittent pneumatic compression, the same technology hospitals use to prevent clots and clinics use to treat lymphoedema. The suit has separate chambers along the legs, abdomen and arms. A pump inflates them in sequence from the far end of the limb towards the trunk, holds, and releases; each wave squeezes the tissue and moves the fluid between cells towards the lymph nodes in the groin and armpit, where it is returned to the bloodstream and eventually passed as urine.

In lymphoedema, where the lymphatic system itself is damaged, this is a proven treatment: a 2026 systematic review of seven randomised trials found that pneumatic compression reduced lower-limb volume in every trial, with moderate certainty, using sessions of about an hour at pressures from 40 mmHg upwards. A review of dosage found most benefit at 45 to 60 minutes and 30 to 60 mmHg in sequential programmes. Those patients have far more fluid than a healthy person with tired legs, so the change you see is smaller, but the mechanism is the same. What the evidence does not show is a lasting change in shape once the sessions stop.

Why we combine them

The wrap holds the serum and gives a base layer of compression; the suit then does the mechanical work of moving fluid. Running the compression over the bandage keeps the skin warm and the actives in place for the full 30 to 45 minutes, and the drainage carries away the fluid that the compression of the bandage alone would only shift a short distance. Booked as the wrap alone, you get the skin-conditioning and a mild drainage effect; booked with pressotherapy, you get the full de-bloating.

Legs, abdomen and arms

Legs respond most, because gravity pools fluid there and the sequence of chambers drains them in the right direction. Ankles, calves and knees look and feel lighter within the session. The abdomen is treated for the bloated, tight feeling after travel, salty food or before a period; the wrap is wound around the waist and the suit's abdominal panel compresses last. Arms are wrapped for skin texture and for fluid retention in the upper arm, usually with the leg treatment rather than on their own.

Pressotherapy on its own

If you want drainage without the wrap, book pressotherapy alone. It is shorter and lower in cost, and it is the right choice for a maintenance visit between wrap sessions or for someone with sensitive skin who reacts to active serums.

Endospheres and Icoone

Endospheres and Icoone are hands-on mechanical treatments: a rolling or suction head works the tissue directly, which drains fluid and also acts on the fibrous structure of cellulite. They are the better choice when cellulite is the main concern and a course is planned. The wrap and suit are passive; you lie still and there is no operator effort, which some patients prefer, and the session leaves the skin conditioned in a way a mechanical treatment does not.

Manual lymphatic drainage

A therapist's hands can direct fluid around a scar, a swollen knee or an area the suit cannot reach, and can judge how the tissue responds. The suit gives a consistent, repeatable pressure sequence over both legs at once for 30 to 45 minutes, which is hard to match by hand. For general heaviness the suit is efficient; for a specific swollen area after surgery, manual drainage is usually the first choice.

After fat freezing or muscle toning

The days after Clatuu fat freezing bring swelling and tenderness in the treated area; a drainage session a couple of days later, then weekly, keeps the area comfortable while the body clears the treated fat cells over the following two to three months. After Tesla Former muscle sessions the suit eases the next-day heaviness. We schedule the wrap around, not on top of, Zionic radiofrequency, because heated skin should not be wrapped the same day.

Measuring what changed

If you want to know whether a course is shifting water, fat or nothing, a body composition analysis before and after separates total body water from fat mass, which a tape measure cannot.

Before your session

Tell us about pregnancy or breastfeeding, any history of clots or clotting disorders, heart, kidney or liver disease, arterial disease in the legs, active cancer treatment, recent surgery or injury, and allergies, especially to menthol, caffeine, algae, iodine or essential oils. Come with clean, dry skin and no body lotion, oil or self-tan, because they stop the serum reaching the skin. Eat lightly, drink water, and bring thin leggings or wear the disposable garments we provide inside the suit.

The course

Typical plans use six to ten sessions, one or two a week. What you do between visits decides how much of the effect you keep: drink more water on treatment days, keep salt lower, walk after the session, and avoid a sauna or very hot bath the same day. Results are also influenced by hormones and the heat, so expect more fluctuation in summer and before a period.

For an event, book the last session one to two days before; for flight swelling, book within a day or two of landing.

Afterwards and follow-up

Leave the serum on the skin until your evening shower. Mild pinkness from the bandage pressure and a warm or tingling feeling from the ingredients fade within an hour or two; a rash, itching that persists, or numbness anywhere in a leg after compression needs a message to us the same day. You may pass more urine for the rest of the day, which is the drained fluid leaving. We review after the course and agree whether an occasional maintenance session is worth it for you; it is a choice, not a fixed schedule.

Our products and clinical process

Evolution Aesthetics Clinic holds DHA Polyclinic License 6000514. Our Arosha bandages are authentic, single-use products bought through the official distributor, and our pressotherapy equipment is a professional device with programmable pressure, cycle length and chamber sequence. Our therapists are trained on both and work under doctor supervision. We review your medical history before the first session, explain the treatment, its limits and the total price before you consent, and give written aftercare.

Common effects

Pinkness where the bandage pressed, warmth or tingling from the serum, and a strong urge to pass urine afterwards are expected. Some people feel light-headed on standing after lying flat for an hour; get up slowly. The lightness in the legs is real and temporary.

Less common effects and when to tell us

Itching, hives or a rash on the wrapped area suggest a reaction to an ingredient; remove the wrap and wash the area, and tell us so we can note it. The consensus statement on compression therapy records nerve injury at the outer knee (foot drop) from badly positioned or malfunctioning pneumatic devices, and folliculitis under compression; these are rare and are why we check the suit's position, keep pressures moderate and stop at any numbness, pins and needles or pain during the cycle. Compression that pushes a large volume of fluid back into the circulation is the reason heart, kidney and liver disease are on the list below.

When we do not treat

We do not use the wrap or pressotherapy if you have:

• pregnancy or breastfeeding;
• a current or previous deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis or a known clotting disorder;
• severe heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure or severe peripheral arterial disease;
• kidney or liver failure, or significant swelling caused by organ disease;
• active cancer or ongoing oncology treatment, unless your doctor has cleared it;
• a skin infection, open wound, dermatitis or varicose ulcer on the treatment area;
• recent major surgery or an acute injury in the area, until your doctor has cleared it;
• an allergy or sensitivity to wrap ingredients such as menthol, caffeine, algae or essential oils;
• fever, acute inflammation or feeling generally unwell.

Compression is not suitable for everyone, and a regulator has required wrap providers to say so. Licensing and authentic products are firm standards; they do not remove these limits.
