Lymphatic drainage

In the High Care Longevity Concept, lymphatic drainage is understood as part of a holistic approach. Device-based precision meets skin- and vessel-friendly technologies to achieve effective decongestion without unnecessarily stressing the tissue.

Understanding lymphatic drainage – activating lymph flow, relieving tissue

Swelling, feelings of tension or a heavy sensation in the skin and tissue often arise when the lymph flow is disturbed. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, targeted method to support the removal of fluid, metabolic waste and inflammatory substances – for lighter tissue, more mobility and improved regeneration.

What is lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage is a recognised form of physical therapy that stimulates the lymphatic system through gentle, rhythmic impulses. In this way, the removal of excess tissue fluid and stored metabolic products via the lymphatic channels is supported. Lymphatic drainage is used, among other things, for lymphedema, after operations or injuries, in sports regeneration and to support chronic inflammatory processes. It is also used in the beauty and anti-aging field to reduce swelling, promote microcirculation and visibly improve the complexion.

Manual or device-based lymphatic drainage – what is the difference?

A basic distinction is made between manual and device-based lymphatic drainage. Manual lymphatic drainage is performed by specially trained therapists using their hands. Gentle, circular grip techniques stimulate the lymph flow and support the natural decongestion of the tissue.

Device-based lymphatic drainage, as used in the High Care Longevity Concept, works with precisely controlled pressure or suction impulses. These enable an even activation of the lymphatic system and allow targeted adaptation to individual needs. Both methods are considered pain-free and particularly gentle. The device-based variant can also be integrated very well into cosmetic-medical skin and tissue concepts.

The High Care Longevity Concept for lymphatic drainage – gentle, deep-acting, regenerative

In the High Care Longevity Concept, lymphatic drainage is understood as part of a holistic approach. Device-based precision meets skin- and vessel-friendly technologies to achieve effective decongestion without unnecessarily stressing the tissue.

SPM – gentle lymph activation through pulsating suction waves

SPM – gentle lymph activation through pulsating suction waves

Fine, rhythmic suction impulses activate the superficial lymphatic channels and promote the removal of accumulated tissue fluid. This can reduce swelling, improve microcirculation and noticeably ease feelings of pressure and tension.

Vacustyler – vacuum waves for the venous-lymphatic return flow

Vacustyler – vacuum waves for the venous-lymphatic return flow

The alternating pressure principle of the Vacustyler supports the return transport of blood and lymph from the legs towards the heart. In this way, the oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissue is improved and regenerative processes are promoted, for example after sporting exertion or injuries.

Dermio Care – ionised air & light for the cell environment and reduction of inflammation

Negatively charged oxygen ions in combination with gentle light have an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and stabilising effect on the cell environment. These effects can support cell regeneration, strengthen the skin barrier and positively accompany healing processes.
