Lipedema treatment in Dortmund at UNIQAESTHETICS®

// Treatments / Body surgery / Lipedema

Finally get relief with lipoedema treatment in Dortmund at UNIQAESTHETICS®. After all, being able to move without pain, buy clothes in a relaxed manner and feel comfortable in your own body is not a matter of course for patients suffering from lipoedema. Despite dieting and exercise, the fatty tissue of the subcutaneous tissue proliferates, especially on the arms, legs and buttocks, which throws the body proportions out of balance and can be very frustrating for those affected. A lot of time often passes before “lipoedema” is diagnosed. By then, the aesthetic and medical effects on the body are usually advanced and cannot be remedied by compression therapy.

The most effective treatment to specifically rid your body of excess fat cells and the unpleasant feeling of tension typical of lipoedema is water-jet assisted liposuction at UNIQAESTHETICS®. Water-jet assisted liposuction effectively helps to reduce pain, a feeling of tightness and excess fatty tissue caused by lipoedema. The innovative WAL method is gentle on the tissue and ensures convincingly beautiful results that are immediately visible, unlike conventional liposuction. WAL is particularly suitable for the treatment of lipoedema.

Removing spider veins with laser treatment

Spider veins are visible, finely dilated blood vessels that are located under the top layer of skin and usually appear on the legs. They can appear in different colors such as red, purple or blue and can significantly affect the appearance of the skin.

An alternative method for removal of spider veins involves the use of an innovative high-tech laser treatment with advanced Skintel® technology. This special method enables precise and automatic adjustment of the laser power to the individual skin type, ensuring maximum safety and gentle treatment.

WAL liposuction - the power of water effectively helps with lipoedema

The specialists at UNIQAESTHETICS® are experts in the innovative WAL liposuction in which the fat is removed extremely gently from the surrounding tissue using a water jet and suctioned out simultaneously.

A particular advantage is that your treating specialist has control over the result throughout the procedure and can avoid unwanted dents in the skin from the outset. The WAL method makes liposuction gentler than ever before and is therefore particularly suitable for the sensitive skin of patients with lipoedema.

Who is eligible for lipedema treatment?

Lipoedema treatment may be considered for people who suffer from this particular fat distribution disorder and the symptoms associated with it. However, the decision to undergo treatment depends on various factors. These may include

People diagnosed with lipoedema: The diagnosis of lipoedema should be made by a qualified doctor. Only people who have been diagnosed with lipoedema are eligible for treatment.
Patients with symptoms and complaints: Lipoedema treatment is particularly indicated when patients suffer from the symptoms of lipoedema, such as swelling, pain, tenderness and restricted movement.
People for whom conservative measures are not sufficiently effective: In cases where conservative measures such as compression therapy, physiotherapy exercises and manual lymphatic drainage are not sufficiently effective or the symptoms are progressive, a surgical option such as liposuction may be considered.
People who meet the requirements for liposuction: Liposuction can be an effective option for those who meet the criteria, such as adequate physical health and a realistic expectation of results.

However, people who may not be eligible for lipoedema treatment are those who do not have a clear diagnosis of lipoedema. It is important to ensure that the symptoms are actually due to lipoedema and not other medical conditions. Lipoedema surgery should also be avoided if you are pregnant.

The final decision on suitability for lipoedema treatment should always be made in consultation with a specialist . These experts can carry out a comprehensive examination, assess the individual circumstances and recommend the best treatment option.
