Wood Therapy in Sugar Hill, GA
A firm massage with shaped wooden tools
for a smoother, less puffy look on the belly, hips and thighs.
What Is Wood Therapy?
Wood therapy, also called maderoterapia, is a body massage technique from Colombia. Your aesthetician uses wooden rollers, cups and shaped tools instead of hands alone, gliding them over oiled skin with firm, rhythmic strokes.
The strokes move toward the lymph nodes, the same direction a lymphatic drainage massage follows, which is why you may see it called wood therapy lymphatic drainage. It is usually done on the belly, hips, thighs and buttocks.
What Wood Therapy Can and Cannot Do
Wood therapy is popular on social media, and short clips can promise more than a massage delivers. Here is the honest version.
- A smoother, less puffy look for a while
- Firm strokes toward the lymph nodes, which can ease puffiness
- Tissue that feels looser and more relaxed
- A hands-on treatment before an event
It does not remove fat cells, and it does not permanently remove cellulite. The smoother look comes mostly from moving fluid, so it fades with time.
If fat or cellulite is your real goal, look at our cellulite treatment or ultrasonic cavitation, and your aesthetician can explain how they differ.
Is Wood Therapy Right for You?
It suits adults who want a hands-on body treatment and are comfortable with a result that does not last. The pressure is firm and bruising is possible, so tell us if you bruise easily.
We do not treat skin that is infected, broken or inflamed. Wood therapy is also not offered during pregnancy, or if you have a clotting disorder or a pacemaker.
Your aesthetician asks about your health and your medicines before any treatment.

Wood Therapy FAQs
Does wood therapy hurt?
It feels like a firm, deep massage, and some areas are more tender than others. Your aesthetician adjusts the pressure to what feels comfortable for you, and you can ask for lighter strokes at any time.
Does wood therapy get rid of cellulite?
No. It can make cellulite look smoother for a while, but it does not permanently remove it. If cellulite is your main concern, our cellulite treatment page explains the other options we offer.
Does wood therapy burn fat?
No. Wood therapy does not burn or remove fat cells. It moves fluid, so an area can look less puffy for a time. If losing a stubborn area of fat is the goal, ask about ultrasonic cavitation, which is a separate treatment.
How many wood therapy sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Your aesthetician plans it with you at your visit, based on the areas and the look you want, keeping in mind that the effect of each session is temporary.
Can I combine wood therapy with cavitation?
Yes. Cavitation is a device treatment aimed at stubborn areas of fat, and wood therapy is a hands-on massage that can ease puffiness. Your aesthetician can tell you whether pairing them makes sense for your goals.
Who should not have wood therapy?
We do not offer it during pregnancy, over infected, broken or inflamed skin, or to people with a clotting disorder or a pacemaker.
