Lymphastim is a medical device that promotes lymphatic circulation and detoxification through gentle pressure therapy. It aids in reducing swelling and improving overall wellness.

Depending on the problem you want to address, we recommend a series of 6–10 treatment procedures, 2–3 times a week. For effective cellulite reduction, we recommend combining the LYMPHASTIM lymphatic drainage with the X-WAVE (shock wave) therapy.

Usually, some results will be noticeable immediately after your lymphatic drainage massage however the fluid will begin to properly drain around 24 to 48 hours post massage.

• Lymphastim therapy begins with the patient lying comfortably as specialized garments, connected to a pneumatic compression device, are applied to the targeted areas.

• The device then gently inflates and deflates the garments, creating a rhythmic massage that stimulates lymphatic flow, aiding in the removal of toxins and reducing fluid retention.

• The treatment typically lasts around 30 to 60 minutes, during which the patient experiences a gentle, soothing sensation.

• Post-treatment, the patient may feel refreshed and rejuvenated, with potential benefits including improved circulation, reduced swelling, and enhanced detoxification.

• Regular sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

Breast rejuvenation involves using BTL Exilis technology for lifting and tightening and threads for lifting.The procedure may involve the placement of threads to lift and support the breasts

• Discuss goals, medical history, and procedure details.

• Follow pre-procedure instructions.

• Administer local or general anaesthesia.

• The procedure may involve the placement of threads to lift and support the breast. The threads are typically made of absorbable material and are inserted into the breast tissue using a fine needle or cannula. The threads are then carefully positioned to achieve the desired lift and contour.

• Once the threads are in place, the BTL Exilis technology is used to further lift and tighten the breast tissue. BTL Exilis uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue tightening. The handpiece is moved over the treatment area in a controlled manner to ensure even heating and consistent results.

• After the procedure, the patient may experience some swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which is typically temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. The patient will be advised to wear a supportive bra and avoid strenuous activities for a certain period to promote healing.

• Schedule appointments for monitoring and maintenance.

Buttock fillers, typically administered in 2 to 4 vials, are injectable substances used to enhance the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks. These fillers are often composed of biocompatible materials such as ha or synthetic polymers, providing a non-surgical option for individuals seeking a fuller or lifted appearance to their buttocks.

• For buttock fillers (2 to 4 vials), the procedure typically involves an initial consultation to assess the patient’s goals and eligibility.

• After cleansing the treatment area, local anaesthesia may be applied for comfort. The aesthetician then strategically injects the filler into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape.

• Throughout the procedure, the injector ensures symmetry and optimal results.

• Post-treatment, the patient may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.

• Instructions for aftercare, such as avoiding pressure on the treated area and refraining from strenuous activities, are provided for optimal recovery.

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to alleviate chronic tension, muscle stiffness, and pain. By applying firm pressure and slow strokes, it helps release muscle knots and adhesions, promoting better blood circulation and improved range of motion.

• The Deep Tissue Massage begins with a consultation to assess the client’s needs and preferences.

Stretch marks laser treatment, also known as laser therapy for stretch marks, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of stretch marks on the skin. Stretch marks, characterized by streaks or bands of discolored skin, often result from rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or hormonal changes. Laser treatment for stretch marks works by utilizing targeted beams of light to stimulate collagen production in the affected areas, thereby reducing the appearance of stretch marks and promoting skin regeneration. During the procedure, the laser energy penetrates the skin’s surface, causing controlled damage to the underlying layers where stretch marks form.

Using the plasma device skin lesions can be removed with plasma technology.

• After the application of local anaesthetic cream to numb the area the area is cleaned and the plasma device is used to burn the lesion. • The lesion scabs fall off within 7 days after.

Lipolytic injections, also known as fat-dissolving injections, are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body. These injections typically contain substances such as phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid, which work to break down and metabolize fat cells. The treatment involves injecting these substances directly into the targeted areas, where they gradually dissolve the fat, leading to a more contoured appearance. Lipolytic injections are often used to address stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as love handles, double chin, or saddlebags.

• Chemical lipolytic ingredients which are medically approved like phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate are injected with multiple injections 1cm apart into the subcutaneous fatty layer.

• The area can feel hot and become red and slightly swollen. Fat deposits are broken down by these ingredients, and ice packs can be applied for a short time thereafter.

Exilis uses ultrasound radio frequency to precisely heat and burn the deep fatty layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, promoting skin tightening and fat reduction. This innovative procedure can effectively sculpt and contour various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and face, providing patients with a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.

• The Exilis procedure begins with a consultation to discuss treatment goals. The area to be treated is marked and prepared.

• A handpiece is then moved over the skin, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy. This energy heats the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue tightening.

• Throughout the procedure, the temperature is carefully monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness and the use of patented cooling tips to maintain cooling on the skin for comfort.

• The treatment typically lasts around 15-30 minutes per area, depending on the size and specific concerns.

• Afterwards, patients can resume their normal activities with little to no downtime.
