Heavy legsand water retention
natural help in Rapallo
Do you reach the evening with swollen legs, ankles marked by your socks and that heavy feeling that gets worse in summer? It happens to so many people, especially those who spend hours standing or sitting. At Essenza di Rosa, Rosalba's studio at Via Trento 15 in Rapallo, you can try LPG® Endermologie in its draining version: a natural, needle-free treatment that can help your legs feel lighter again.
01
The problem
Why legs feel heavy
The feeling of heavy legs often comes from circulation that struggles to flow back up: fluids tend to pool downwards, tissues swell and by the end of the day your legs feel like lead. Heat dilates the blood vessels and makes it worse: that's why summer on the Riviera is when you notice it most.
The most common causes are everyday ones: a job on your feet or at a desk, little movement, long journeys by car or plane, hormonal changes, tight shoes. Water retention also often goes hand in hand with cellulite: retained fluids make the skin less even and the ankles less defined.
Drinking more, walking and raising your legs in the evening all help, but they don't always bring relief. A targeted draining treatment can give you extra help. If the swelling is sudden, painful or affects only one leg, though, the first thing to do is see your doctor.

The solution
What LPG® Endermologie is, in simple words
Think of drainage performed with a highly precise tool. The Cellu M6 Infinity® treatment head combines two motorised rollers and a flap with gentle suction: they lift the skin softly and guide it with regular movements, always in the direction of the returning circulation. It is a mechanical, natural, non-invasive stimulation: no needles and no recovery time.
For heavy legs the rhythm is slower and more enveloping, designed to encourage fluid drainage and the return flow towards the heart. If you'd like to see the machine Rosalba uses in the treatment room, you'll find it presented piece by piece on the home page

At Essenza di Rosa
What happens in a draining session
It starts with a free consultation, in person at the studio: Rosalba asks how you spend your days, when you feel the heaviness most, and assesses with you whether the treatment is suitable.
During the session you wear the special LPG® bodysuit and lie on the treatment bed. The work starts from the feet and ankles and moves up the calves and thighs, with draining movements at adjustable intensity: a pleasant, almost relaxing feeling. Afterwards you go straight back to your day. Spring is a good time to start, before the heat arrives.
Between sessions, simple habits help: the stairs instead of the lift, a swim in the sea as soon as the season allows, legs up in the evening and plenty of water during the day.

Questionsand answers
Is the LPG treatment for heavy legs a lymphatic drainage?
Not exactly. Manual lymphatic drainage is done by hand, while LPG® Endermologie uses a mechanical treatment head with rollers and suction. The aim is similar, though: to encourage fluid drainage and bring relief to the legs. At Essenza di Rosa you'll find both, and in the consultation we work out together which suits you best.
How soon do the legs feel lighter?
According to official LPG® data (BeScored study 2024, source LPG), the feeling of heavy legs dropped by 50% after the very first session. Everyone is different, though: for lasting results, a consistent programme is what counts.
Is the draining treatment suitable for men too?
Yes. Heavy legs don't only affect women: the treatment is designed for adult women and men. As always, we assess it together in person during the consultation.
Can I have it in summer too?
Yes, in fact that's exactly when your legs need it most. There's no recovery time: after the session you can go back to your day, beach included.
