MORE THAN 55 YEARS OF FRENCH INNOVATION
STARVAC was founded in France in 1970 by Jean Frajdenrajch, a watchmaker turned physiotherapist and inventor. His background combined technical precision with a deep understanding of the body, leading him to explore how mechanical technologies could support and enhance manual treatment techniques.
His early work focused on mechanised lymphatic drainage, using compressive accessories to support fluid movement.
Over the following decades, STARVAC continued to develop this approach, introducing alternating treatment techniques and later segmented accessories capable of generating a degressive pressure gradient.
At the same time, the company's expertise expanded into the mechanical treatment and mobilisation of connective tissue, establishing the foundations of the two areas that continue to define STARVAC today: tissue and circulatory dynamics.
Continuous research and engineering subsequently led to the development of patented technologies including Pressodynamie®, Stretching Cellulaire® and HyperPulse®, extending STARVAC's applications across beauty, wellness, health and sport.
Today, more than five decades after its creation, STARVAC remains a family-led French company, with Daniel Frajdenrajch continuing the work initiated by his father. Research, engineering and continuous innovation remain at the heart of the company, guiding the development of non-invasive technologies inspired by human physiology and the evolving needs of professional practice.
