Lymphatic Vacuum Therapy
Vacuum therapy is a non-invasive treatment to combat severe cellulite. It is carried out using suction devices that drain the adipose tissue and move the fat towards the lymphatic system. Vacuum therapy also helps to eliminate fat, it has an exfoliating effect, provides elasticity to the skin and relaxes the muscles.
Treatment Information:
1) What is Lymphatic Vacuum Therapy?
Lymphatic Vacuum therapy is an electrical method for lymphatic drainage where the lymphatic system is drained of toxins and encourage the metabolic digestion of liquid fat. This treatment should not replace exercise or movement.
2) What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is part of the body’s immune, digestive and endocrine systems. Composed of a network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, organs and tissues, including bone marrow, the thymus gland, the spleen, and the small intestine, it is essential for fat and liquid absorption, balanced hormones and the body’s ability to fight infection by ridding it of toxins, including cancer-causing pathogens.
A well-functioning lymphatic system is essential for health, being a key player in the body’s immune response and the prevention of disease. When people refer to a “sluggish lymphatic system” they are usually referring to a buildup of liquids and toxins, leading to a feeling of malaise, physical and mental fatigue, and uncomfortable bloating. When the lymphatic system is working optimally, it can lead to feeling more energetic, more slimmed down due to fluid removal and even increased mental clarity.

It is best to wait a few days until the condition is not acute and the body has had a chance to clean up the area.
- Malignant tumors– there is a fear of spreading the cancer.
