“TL;DR: Non-surgical treatments such as radiofrequency, RF microneedling, and ultrasonic cavitation cannot effectively reduce lipedema; surgery is the only proven solution. Exercise and healthy nutrition can slow disease progression and maintain surgical outcomes. Deep-acting radiofrequency, ultrasound, and red/infrared light therapy may alleviate symptoms such as puffiness, pain, and leg heaviness, and improve cellulite, skin laxity, and post-surgical fibrosis.”
Is there a lipedema “cure” beyond surgery?

Can radiofrequency, RF microneedling or ultrasonic cavitation help me reduce my lipedema?
This is a very valid question asked by so many people in the lipedema community.
However, the fact of the matter is that there is no good non-surgical treatment (be it radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, acoustic wave therapy, RF microneedling, HIFU, massage, red/infrared light therapy, pressotherapy etc) that can reduce, get rid of or “cure” lipedema.
None of those non-surgical techniques or any other effectively REDUCES lipedema and currently the only good solution for lipedema reduction is surgery.
Sure, exercise and healthy nutrition can help slow down or even PREVENT the progress of lipedema and help maintain the results of lipedema surgery, but they do NOT REDUCE it.
Also, at our clinic we have found that deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, massage, infrared/red light therapy and pressotherapy can all help improve the symptoms of lipedema (poor circulation, puffiness, water retention, pain, leg heaviness), as well as to help prevent its development, in many women.
Strong, deep radiofrequency and ultrasound cavitation, ideally combined by red and near infrared (NIR) light therapy, are also the treatments of choice for cellulite and skin laxity, which always accompany lipedema (both before and after surgery) and they can reduce fibrosis after lipedema surgery.
But we would never claim that we offer lipedema REDUCTION, simply because this cannot happen non-surgically.
So don’t fall for misleading claims about non-surgical lipedema reduction solutions and focus on the things that work:
surgery for reduction
diet and exercise, and if possible, deep tissue radiofrequency, deep tissue ultrasound, high-power red and infrared light therapy and massage for symptom reduction and for prevention

At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
