Wood Therapy London - Maderoterapia & Body Contouring in Marylebone
Manual Body Contouring Near Baker Street | Cellulite Appearance & Massage-Based Treatment | From £49
3D Lipo London offers professional wood therapy (maderoterapia) at our Marylebone clinic near Baker Street. This is a hands-on massage-based body-contouring treatment using specially shaped wooden tools. Clients commonly choose it for massage, temporary contouring support and to improve the appearance of cellulite or uneven skin texture.
Current single-session prices start at £49 for arms, with abdomen, back, legs and full-body options available. Wood therapy is not a weight-loss or permanent fat-removal treatment, and results vary between clients.

Wood therapy guide: For a deeper explanation of the shaped tools and massage techniques, see our wood therapy techniques and maderoterapia guide.
We will discuss the area you want treated, what result you are hoping for and whether wood therapy is the right treatment for that goal. An in-person consultation is secured with a £30 booking deposit. The deposit is fully redeemable against treatment and is refundable if you attend and decide not to proceed. Please give at least 72 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. A no-show loses the £30 deposit and rebooking after a no-show requires a new £30 deposit. If you arrive late, the appointment may need to be shortened so later bookings are not delayed.

Wood Therapy in Marylebone: Quick Answers
If you have a holiday, event or seasonal goal, allow time to see how your body responds rather than booking a large course based on a guaranteed timeline. Temporary bruising can occur after firm treatment, so avoid scheduling your first session immediately before an important event if visible marks would concern you.
Planning a Course
Where appropriate, wood therapy can sit alongside cellulite treatments, RF skin tightening, cavitation or fat freezing. The technologies are not interchangeable: fat freezing is for a localised fat pocket, RF is used for skin tightening, shockwave is used for cellulite, and wood therapy is a manual massage-based treatment.
Combining Wood Therapy with Other Treatments
We do not need to label clients as "pear", "apple" or another body type. The treatment is planned around the area you want to address, the condition of the tissue, your comfort and what a manual massage treatment can realistically achieve.
Treatment Is Based on the Area, Not Your Body Shape
- Tools are cleaned between clients.
- Pressure is adjusted for comfort and tissue sensitivity.
- We screen for relevant medical history and medication.
- We avoid treating broken, infected or acutely inflamed skin.
Wood therapy is generally well tolerated when the client is suitable and the treatment is performed with appropriate pressure and hygiene. It is still a firm manual treatment, so "completely safe" or "no side effects" would be misleading.
Is Wood Therapy Safe?
How much does wood therapy cost?
Current prices start at £49 for arms. Abdomen is £69, back £59, legs £99 and full body £169. See our price page for the latest offers.
Does wood therapy remove cellulite?
It can be used to improve the appearance of cellulite, but it should not be described as a permanent cellulite cure. Massage-related improvements can be temporary and results vary.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number that guarantees a result. Some clients book a course, while others start with a single session and decide based on their response and goals.
Does wood therapy destroy fat?
No. Wood therapy is a manual massage/body-contouring treatment. If your main concern is a localised fat pocket, treatments such as fat freezing or cavitation may be more relevant after assessment.
Is wood therapy painful?
It can feel firm and areas may be tender, but pressure should be adjusted to your comfort. Mild redness, soreness or bruising can occur.
Who may not be suitable?
Suitability depends on the treatment area and medical history. Pregnancy, active skin infection/open wounds, recent surgery, significant circulation or blood-clotting problems and some medications require additional caution or may mean treatment is not appropriate. Tell us your full medical history before treatment.
Can it be combined with other body treatments?
It can sometimes be planned alongside cellulite, RF or body-contouring treatments, but each treatment should have a clear purpose and suitable timing rather than being combined automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Therapy
Mild redness, tenderness or bruising can occur after firm manual treatment. Most people return to normal activities straight away. Follow the practitioner's individual advice and contact the clinic if you develop an unexpected or persistent reaction.
After Wood Therapy
- Tell us about relevant medical history, medication, recent surgery and any previous problems with massage or body treatments.
- Do not treat over active skin infection, open wounds or a new unexplained rash.
- Wear comfortable clothing and avoid applying products that irritate the skin beforehand.
- Normal hydration is sufficient; there is no need for a special "detox" routine.
Before Your Appointment
| Treatment | Primary clinic use | Current starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Therapy | Manual body contouring / cellulite appearance | From £49 |
| Cavitation | Body contouring / inch-loss treatment | From £79 |
| Radio Frequency | Skin tightening / texture support | From £89 |
| Fat Freezing | Localised fat pockets | From £139 |
There is much stronger evidence for some established cellulite technologies than for wood therapy specifically. Manual/mechanical massage can temporarily improve cellulite appearance in some studies, but published reviews also note that results may be short-lived. Individual response varies.
Is Wood Therapy Effective?
Wood therapy is currently offered for Arms, Abdomen, Back, Legs and Full Body, matching the clinic price list. We do not describe the treatment as eliminating fat or creating guaranteed inch loss. The goal is massage-based contouring and, for some clients, a temporary improvement in skin texture or cellulite appearance.
Treatment Areas
| Area | Session length | Current price |
|---|---|---|
| Arms | 20 minutes | £49 (was £69) |
| Abdomen | 30 minutes | £69 (was £79) |
| Back | 25 minutes | £59 (was £69) |
| Legs | 45 minutes | £99 (was £109) |

What happens at an appointment
1. Consultation and suitability check
We discuss your goals, medical history, medication and the areas you want treated. If the treatment is not appropriate for you, we will say so.
2. Treatment planning
The practitioner chooses suitable tools and pressure for the area. Oil is applied to reduce friction.
3. Manual massage and contouring
Rollers, boards and cups are used in controlled movements across the treatment area. Firm pressure can be used, but the treatment should remain tolerable.
4. Aftercare
You will be told what temporary effects to expect and when to contact the clinic if anything concerns you.
The Wood Therapy Treatment Process
Evidence note: research on massage for cellulite suggests that mechanical massage can improve the appearance of cellulite in some people, but effects can be temporary and evidence for specific wood-therapy protocols is limited. We therefore avoid promising permanent cellulite removal, "detoxification" or fat destruction from wood therapy.
Body-contouring goals
- Temporary improvement in the look of body contours
- Massage of areas that feel puffy or heavy
- Support for clients who prefer a hands-on treatment

- May make skin look temporarily smoother
- Can be used across the treatment areas currently listed by the clinic: Arms, Abdomen, Back, Legs and Full Body
- Results vary and maintenance may be needed
Massage benefits

- Temporary redness or warmth from mechanical stimulation can occur
Wood therapy is chosen mainly for massage-based contouring and cosmetic skin-texture goals. The most realistic benefits to discuss are:
What Can Wood Therapy Help With?
Wood Therapy Tools
Treatment in Progress
- Oil is applied so the tools can move smoothly over the skin.
- Different wooden tools are selected for the size and shape of the treatment area.
- Rolling, sweeping and contouring movements provide mechanical massage and can temporarily change how soft tissue and fluid distribution look and feel.
- Pressure is adjusted to the client's comfort and the condition of the area being treated.
How Does Wood Therapy Work?
At 3D Lipo London we position wood therapy as a massage-based body-contouring and cellulite-appearance treatment. It should not be confused with cryolipolysis, cavitation or a medical lymphatic-drainage procedure, and it does not permanently destroy fat cells.
Wood therapy, often called maderoterapia, is a manual massage technique performed with smooth wooden rollers, contouring boards, cups and other shaped tools. The tools allow the practitioner to vary pressure across the clinic’s currently listed Wood Therapy treatment areas: Arms, Abdomen, Back, Legs and Full Body.

Choosing the right body-contouring approach
“Body contouring” covers treatments with different purposes: reducing localised fat, improving the appearance of skin laxity, supporting muscle tone or targeting cellulite. The first step is identifying the concern rather than assuming one machine can treat everything.
Compare fat freezing, ultrasound cavitation, RF skin tightening, cellulite treatment and PowerSculpt according to the goal being treated.
