11% of Australian women affected – most are unaware they have it.
Lipoedema is a long-term (chronic) condition where there’s an abnormal build-up of fat cells in the legs, thighs and buttocks, and sometimes in the arms. The cause of lipoedema is unknown; however, there is evidence of hormonal and hereditary influences. Many people with lipoedema have a family history of similarly enlarged legs.
Symptoms:
Legs/arms can be extremely painful, even to touch
Lumpy nodular fat texture
Feet and hands are exempt and a 'bracelet' effect can appear just above the ankles and wrists
Skin hypothermia
Easy bruising affected limbs
Hypermobility
May develop secondary lymphoedema
Treatment:
Massage – Manual lymphatic drainage helps to improve your mobility and move the fluids from the affected area
Compression – Increase lymph flow, reduces pain and heaviness
Exercise – low impact exercise programme to build muscle tone
Diet – Anti–inflammatory eating
Liposuction
Psychosocial support
Signature Lipoedema Treatment
$220
Our tailored approach combines Radiofrequency (RF), Ultrasound Cavitation, Pneumatic Compression Pump therapy, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to effectively target the symptoms of lipoedema. This multi-technology treatment is designed to reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance skin texture, supporting both comfort and long-term tissue health.
Radiofrequency (RF) - heating the deep layers of skin, which stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and promotes the breakdown and removal of fat cells
Ultrasound Cavitation - facilitating the breaskdown and elimination of fat deposits, excess fat is released from the fat cell and enters interstitial space between the cell.
Pneumatic Compression Pump therapy - the process of applying external pressure to the limbs to promote the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid from the extremities of the body
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) - assist elimination of fat deposits
It's important to note that while this treatment can effectively assist in reducing fat deposits, it is not a substitute for an overall healthy lifestyle. Regular physical activity and a balanced diet are esssential to support the natural mechanisms of lipolysis and maximise the benefits of the treatment.
It is highly recommended that enough fluids have been consumed a few days before and after the treatment. This is to prepare for this treatment, and to get maximum results.
