Treatment methods for lipedema

Depending on the severity and accompanying symptoms, we combine different procedures in a targeted way to provide you with the best possible relief.

Liposuction

WAL liposuction

Water-jet assisted liposuction spares the tissue with a water jet that releases the fat from the surrounding tissue and suctions it off.

This way, the specialist keeps control over the result and avoids unwanted dents.

Laser

Removing spider veins with laser treatment

An innovative high-tech laser treatment with Skintel® technology enables precise, automatic adaptation to your individual skin type – for a safe and gentle treatment.
