How Pressotherapy Supports Post-Liposuction Healing
What Happens to the Body After Liposuction?
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, but it’s not just about fat removal—it’s also a process that initiates trauma, fluid accumulation, and inflammation in the surrounding tissue. After the procedure, many clients experience swelling, bruising, stiffness, and limited lymphatic function. To accelerate healing and improve comfort, gentle lymphatic support is critical. That’s where Pressotherapy becomes an ideal tool. This technology uses air compression to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and help sculpt post-liposuction results safely.
| Common Post-Lipo Issue | Underlying Cause | Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Edema (swelling) | Lymph vessel trauma | Tightness, water retention |
| Bruising | Capillary damage | Purple, sore, slow recovery areas |
| Fibrosis risk | Untreated inflammation | Hard or uneven tissue |
How Pressotherapy Accelerates Post-Lipo Recovery
Pressotherapy uses rhythmic air compression to simulate manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)—a technique widely recommended after liposuction. By applying sequential pressure through multi-chamber garments, it encourages the flow of excess interstitial fluid, toxins, and lymph toward major drainage nodes. Our professional system ensures gentle yet effective decompression, particularly for the abdomen, flanks, arms, and thighs—key areas targeted by liposuction. Pressotherapy supports symmetrical healing and helps reveal final surgical contours sooner.
| Pressotherapy Action | Physiological Response | Benefit for Healing |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential air compression | Promotes lymphatic flow | Reduces swelling and fluid pockets |
| Tissue oxygenation | Enhances capillary exchange | Faster healing, less bruising |
| Fibrosis prevention | Softens inflamed areas | Improves skin smoothness |
When and How Often to Use Pressotherapy After Liposuction
Most surgeons recommend starting lymphatic support 5–7 days post-op, once the initial inflammation and tenderness reduce. Early sessions should use low pressure and short durations. As healing progresses, intensity and duration can be increased for deeper drainage and fibrosis prevention. A typical course includes 8–12 sessions over 4–6 weeks, followed by monthly maintenance if swelling persists. Always confirm with your surgical team before beginning post-op treatments.
