Lipedema treatment
Effective Lipedema Treatment for Lasting Relief
We offer Hivamat Advanced assisted device Lymphatic drainage for lipedema and lymphedema treatment. Deep Oscillation is a unique, patented, proven, non-invasive therapy, German technology that creates 250 biological oscillations per second, using electrostatic attraction and friction. The resonant vibration is up to 8 cm throughout the entire depth of the tissue-skin, connective tissue, interstitial area, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels. This technique is especially good for those who cannot tolerate deep tissue massage or manual therapy. The oscillation sensations are "pleasant, gentle", and provide "deep-acting" effects on all tissue levels from skin to fascial connective tissues. This oscillation reduce pain, inflammation, and reabsorb edema.
Lipedema Treatment in Alpharetta, GA
Advanced Lipedema Therapy to Reduce Pain, Swelling, and Disease Progression
At Complementary Therapies, we provide specialized, evidence-based treatment for lipedema, a chronic and progressive adipose tissue disorder that primarily affects women. Our comprehensive approach combines Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), advanced lymphatic therapies, soft tissue techniques, compression education, and post-operative rehabilitation to help reduce pain, improve mobility, decrease inflammation, and support healthy lymphatic function.
Early diagnosis and specialized treatment are essential to slow the progression of lipedema and improve quality of life.
The causes of lipedema are not well understood. It is reported to start or worsen during puberty and other periods of hormonal changes, such as pregnancy and menopause.
Research is underway to determine the biological role of hormones, genetics, inflammation, and metabolism in the condition’s development.
What Is Lipedema?
Lipedema is a chronic, progressive connective tissue and adipose tissue disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat cells (adipocytes), most commonly affecting the hips, buttocks, thighs, legs, and sometimes the arms. The condition almost exclusively affects women and typically develops or worsens during periods of hormonal change, including:
- Puberty
- Pregnancy
- Menopause
- Hormonal fluctuations
Unlike obesity, lipedema fat is resistant to diet and exercise. Patients frequently experience:
- Painful fatty tissue
- Tenderness to touch
- Easy bruising
- Persistent swelling
- Heaviness of the legs
- Reduced mobility
- Progressive enlargement of the affected limbs
One of the hallmark signs of lipedema is that the feet and hands are usually spared, creating a distinct “cuff” appearance at the ankles or wrists.
Treatments we offer for lipedema:
G5 Vibration – Slimming treatment
According the latest research vibration massager like G5 is very helpful decreasing tissue congestion, good reducing fibrosis and nodules, and helps free up movement in the connective tissue.
It is important to commit to a minimum course of 10 treatments (twice a week) until the desired results have been achieved then to return for monthly or 4-5 weeks maintenance treatments.
G5 massage is performed according to the body structure and application area in determined sessions.
The ideal treatment for slimming, is approximately 10-12 sessions according the patient adipose tissue density.
The professional G5 Vibration body slimming treatment is very efficient way to slim down body with extra adipose or fat tissue.
The vibration energy emitted by various shaped probes can dissolve fat layers and accelerate blood circulation to achieve body slimming effect. At the same time, it can effectively relieve muscle tension, fatigue, and puffiness and improve lymphatic circulation.
Low frequency ultrasound (40kHz) cavitation RF for fat reduction.
This is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment which uses sound waves to flush fat from the body. The treatment uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to target subcutaneous fat cells in the fat cell membrane through a series of microscopic implosions.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Cavitation:
- Improved blood and lymph circulation
- Detoxification by removing toxins bound in adipocyte cells
- Fat reduction
Decreases fatty deposits/constricts connective tissue - Body sculpting
- Reduces the appearance of cellulite
- Tightens connective tissue and tone the skin (when combined with radio frequency).
Treatments we offer for lymphatic flow in lipedema's patients:
MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MLD
This is the major component of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) and is extremely effective in helping prevent the progression of lipedema to another stage called Lipo-lymphedema. The more you free up lymphatic congestion, the less chance of developing fibrosis and pitting edema. Keeping active and detoxifying your body is important to keep balance of the condition.
HIVAMAT® OR DEEP OSCILLATION THERAPY
Device-Assisted Manual Lymphatic Drainage for any lymphatic conditions. It is good for helping with fibrosis breakdown, improving circulation, wound healing, promoting lymphatic health in patients with lymphedema and lipedema, and is also extremely helpful in the treatment of postoperative swelling, scars, burns, and wounds.
PRE- AND POST-LIPOSUCTION REHABILITATION
We provide specialized lymphatic care before and after lipedema reduction surgery (liposuction) to optimize healing and improve surgical outcomes.
Our post-operative rehabilitation focuses on:
- Reducing post-surgical swelling
- Supporting lymphatic drainage
- Minimizing fibrosis and scar tissue formation
- Accelerating tissue healing
- Improving comfort and mobility
- Helping restore normal movement
Proper post-operative lymphatic therapy is an important component of recovery and may contribute to improved long-term surgical results.
Other transformational treatments to grow muscle and reduce fat
EMSCULPT – Grow muscles and reduce fat
This is a non-surgical, non-invasive device that can be placed on a targeted area of the body you want to tone and grow muscles.
The device emits high-intensity electromagnetic energy to the area where you want to build and grow muscle.
Benefits of EMSculpt:
- Lifts and tones the buttocks
- Helps define the abdomen and flanks
- Slims and tones many other areas of the body
- Painless, no downtime
- Non-surgical, non-invasive
- Builds and tones muscles while reducing a little bit of fat

After 4 weeks, you should notice more sculpted, toned muscle. You can target 4 areas in one session. 4 sessions are recommended, but 6 sessions are ideal for optimal results (1 per week). Maintenance is recommended every 6-8 weeks.
Lipedema stages
Dealing with lipedema can be a lonely and confusing journey. Typically, individuals with lipedema are encouraged to:
- Improve lymphatic flow
- Reduce inflammation with a healthy eating plan
- Liposuction can be valuable for some people to manage pain and improve mobility.
- Wear some compressions
- Help your body deal with lipedema with specific exercise program
- Get emotional support in groups in Facebook and search lipedema or lipoedema.
