Deep Oscillation Lymphatic Massage (Electrostatic Therapy Massage)
Deep oscillation therapy utilises the same techniques as manual lymphatic massage (a very gentle massage technique, described in the next paragraph), but applied through gloves and with minimal pressure or no pressure at all, and is the most gentle massage technique available today. Deep oscillation massage does not work by utilising hand pressure as normal lymph massage does, instead it stimulates tissue healing and lymph flow by the application of a safe and gentle electrostatic field that forms underneath the hand.
If you have just had plastic surgery you are most probably in a lot of pain so you might be tempted to think that a massage treatment would make the pain worse and is the last thing you need. However, deep oscilation massage could be described as almost-no-touch massage and it is absolutely safe and effective, especially against pain, swelling and bruising. The treatment is totally painless - it actually decreases pain both during it's application and for the 2-3 days after, and is ideal for all types of surgery. Deep oscillation is also used in hospitals to help the healing of burns and after any other type of surgery, including orthopaedic surgery, and for sports injuries by several sports teams around the world.
Our Deep Oscillation technology allows us to offer an extremely mild yet very effective lymphatic drainage so that you recover much faster than normal after your operation. This is because it stimulates the body's own healing process and helps drain away excess fluid and tissue breakdown products that are formed during surgery. This treatment can be received once, twice or three times a week after surgery and it is also totally safe and effective.
Contrary to popular belief, treatment after plastic surgery should be initiated as soon as possible after the procedure, as in all types of surgery, including orthopaedic surgery. Early initiation of post-surgery treatments is necessary if you want to maximise the benefits of your surgery. Starting treatment four weeks after the operation, as a small minority of uninformed plastic surgeons may advise, will not offer as good results as if you start immediately (3-5 days after surgery). In addition, starting four weeks after surgery, when you are pain-free, misses the whole point of post-surgery treatments, which is about reducing pain, bruising and swelling when it is at it's worst and when treatments are needed the most.
The benefits you receive from the application of the Deep Oscillation Lymph Massage are maximised by the application of the Lipo Actives, the most comprehensive and concentrated anti-cellulite creams available today. The Lipo Actives have an impressive decongestive/fluid draining effect which works immediately and lasts for several hours. You can literally feel the circulation in your legs, stomach or arms which tingle with vitality!
This technique is perfect after all kinds of plastic surgery, including face surgery. The Lipo Actives are only used for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction and smart lipo/Vaser patients.
Manual Lymphatic Massage (Lymph Drainage)
Lymphatic drainage massage is now well accepted as the standard form of naturally draining excess water from injured, inflamed or operated tissues. As the name suggests, manual lymphatic drainage helps drain excess fluid out of swollen tissues into the lymphatic vessels and ultimately to the heart from where it is directed to the kidneys for elimination by the body. Lymphatic massage is very gentle and is the natural follow-up after the application of the (even gentler) Deep Oscillation Lymphatic Massage at about 10 days after surgery.
Depending on your needs and on how sensitive you are, we may continue using Deep Oscillation Lymphatic Massage during this period of time (Day 11 ~ Day 20), but our experience has shown us that in most cases this is not necessary.
The benefits you receive from the application of the Manual Lymph Massage are maximised by the application of the Lipo Actives, the most comprehensive and concentrated anti-cellulite creams available today. In addition to their effects on cellulite, the Lipo Actives have an impressive decongestive/fluid draining effect which works immediately and lasts for several hours. You can literally feel the circulation in your legs, stomach or arms which tingle with vitality!
This technique is perfect after all kinds of plastic surgery, including face lift surgery. The Lipo Actives are only used for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction and smart lipo/Vaser patients.
Pressotherapy (Pneumatic Compression Therapy)
Pressotherapy equipment can also be used during this period of time in order to offer you even more benefits in terms of fluid drainage from the tissues. In contrast to lymphatic massage, pressotherapy utilises pneumatic compression boots that rhythmically inflate and deflate your whole legs and stomach to stimulate the removal of fluid by both the veins and the lymph vessels. Pressotherapy may be used as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with normal lymph massage and is also very gentle and effective.
At LipoTherapeia we use the best (and most expensive) pressotherapy equipment available today. We also combine pressotherapy with the Lipo Actives, the most comprehensive and concentrated anti-cellulite creams available today. The Lipo Actives have an impressive fluid draining effect that works immediately and lasts for several hours. You can literally feel the circulation in your arms, stomach and legs which tingle with vitality!
This technique can only be used after smart lipo, Vaser, liposuction and abdominoplasty.
