Abstract: A process for the cosmetic improvement of physical appearance and for the non-therapeutic acceleration of regeneration after physical stress includes intermittent vacuum therapy with intermittent compression therapy, in which the pressure difference between the negative pressure and an overpressure is at the same time set, depending on the condition of the person's tissues, to a value between 30 mbar and 80 mbar, but preferably between 30 and 50 mbar. The vacuum therapy and compression therapy are each carried out in a chamber for admitting the lower limbs or the lower limbs and parts of the abdomen of a person that can be sealed gas-tight and is connected by a gas-flow conduit to at least one turbo machine to alternately generate the negative pressure and the overpressure in the chamber.

Abstract: A treatment device for medical and/or cosmetic therapy includes a negative-pressure chamber receiving a lower half of a person's body. The negative-pressure chamber is designed as a tube and has an admission opening sealed off from the person's body by a closure element. A first part of a table is arranged in the interior of the negative-pressure chamber. A second part of the table is arranged outside the negative-pressure chamber. The first part and the second part are each guided longitudinally on a linear guide. The first part can be moved at least partially out of the negative-pressure chamber and the second part can be moved away from the admission opening. A synchronization between the first part and the second part allows the first and second parts to be moved at the same speed in the same direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of improving the bodily appearance in the case of cellulite. In order to achieve an effective improvement without the direct contact of sound heads, electrodes or winding foils on the skin the invention suggests that the body or a part of the body of a person is received by a known chamber provided with at least one pump which chamber is subsequently sealed in a gas-tight manner and exposed to the action of an alternating pressure. If the pressure in the chamber is lowered (negative pressure) relative to the atmospheric ambient pressure the lymph vessels widen and receive tissue fluid and residual metabolic products associated with the lymph. The subsequent raising of the pressure in the chamber either to the atmospheric ambient pressure or an excess pressure [superpressure] in the range of a maximum of 20-60 mbar produces a directed flow of lymph and a removal of the residual metabolic products to the filtering organs.
