LIPEDEMA

We will be happy to advise you about your individual treatment options.

Patients affected by lipedema show a strong tendency to bruising, which is caused by an increased fragility of the blood vessels. The permeability of the vessel walls increases as a result and more lymph fluid enters the surrounding tissue. Excess lymph fluid can no longer be transported away by the healthy lymph vessel system; this leads to the development of the typical feeling of pressure and tension. The constant proliferation of fat cells is a cause of oxygen deficiency in the tissue. As a result, an inflammatory process is set in motion, which leads to further tissue damage and pain in the case of lipedema. But you don’t have to worry – The Treatment of Lipedema is possible.

If several of the described symptoms apply to you, we recommend that you consult a specialist (phlebologist / lymphologist) for a clear diagnosis. We will be happy to advise you about your individual treatment options.
