Treatments and equipment
Pressotherapy in beauty salons: demand, prices and margins
Pressotherapy is the body treatment with the lowest barrier to entry: affordable equipment, straightforward sessions, ideal for recurring packages. Here are the figures.
In this guide
The treatment in numbers
A pressotherapy session typically sells for between 25 and 50 €, lasts 30-40 minutes and requires very little practitioner time: this gives it one of the best margins per treatment room hour.
| Item | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Price per session | 25-50 € |
| Duration | 30-40 minutes |
| Equipment cost | 1.500-8.000 € |
| Sessions per course | 8-12 |
| Practitioner involvement | Set-up and monitoring only |
Why it is the perfect treatment for packages
Pressotherapy only works with consistency, so it naturally sells as a course: the client returns 2 times a week, the diary fills up and the salon earns recurring revenue.
- Standard course: 10 sessions over 5 weeks.
- Ideal for quiet periods (mid-morning, early afternoon).
- Can be combined with other body treatments in the same appointment.
- A client with a weekly routine is the easiest to retain.
How to offer it and to whom
Position it around three clear needs — heavy legs, fluid retention, post-pregnancy recovery — with a fixed-price introductory session and the full course presented at the first visit.
Effective messaging is not technical but symptom-focused: "heavy legs at the end of the day". Local campaigns addressing this need have some of the lowest costs per lead in the body treatment sector.
