Maderoterapia—also known as wood therapy—is a body sculpting massage that uses wooden tools to contour the body, reduce cellulite, and stimulate lymphatic drainage. The tools apply consistent pressure to break down fat deposits and improve circulation, leaving the skin firmer, smoother, and more toned over time.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, buttocks, arms, and back. It’s especially effective for targeting cellulite and fluid retention in areas prone to dimpling or swelling. Your provider will tailor the session based on your individual body goals.

Not at all. The treatment is firm and stimulating but not painful. Most clients describe the sensation as relaxing and energizing. Some areas may feel more sensitive depending on fluid retention or muscle tension, but overall the experience is therapeutic and soothing.

While some clients notice a difference after just one session, best results are typically seen after 6 to 12 sessions performed weekly. Continued treatments help maintain results and prevent the return of puffiness or skin laxity. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your goals.

Maderoterapia supports body contouring and detox—not direct fat loss. It helps shape and tone the body by improving lymph flow, reducing swelling, and breaking down localized fat deposits. When paired with a healthy lifestyle, it enhances definition and helps maintain a leaner appearance.

Maderoterapia treatments are available at all three L’Elite MediSpa locations—Brooklyn, Harlem, and Melville.
