What Is the Lipoedema Protocol?

Lipoedema is not just stubborn fat. It is a chronic disorder that involves fibrotic, nodular fat deposits, fragile vessels, and poor lymphatic drainage, which often lead to swelling, tenderness, and pain.

Because lipoedema affects fat tissue, lymphatic flow, and circulation, a single therapy is rarely enough. The Lipoedema Protocol combines three carefully chosen treatments that work together to target every layer of the condition.

How Does It Work?

1. Ultrasonic Cavitation

What it does:
This treatment uses ultrasound waves to create micro-bubbles that disrupt fibrotic fat clusters, soften hardened nodules, and improve local blood flow.

Why it helps:
Lipoedema fat is fibrotic and resistant to change. Cavitation helps break down this rigidity, easing internal pressure and discomfort while preparing the tissue for drainage.

2. Gentle Vacuum Therapy

What it does:
Light suction and rolling motions mobilise stagnant lymph fluid, stimulate circulation, and release tight adhesions within the skin and fascia.

Why it helps:
Lipoedema tissue tends to trap fluid, causing swelling and pain. Gentle vacuum therapy encourages lymphatic movement without harsh pressure, helping you feel lighter and less congested.

3. Compression Therapy

What it does:
Sequential pneumatic compression mimics manual lymphatic drainage by guiding fluid upward through natural lymphatic pathways.

Why it helps:
This step prevents rebound swelling, supports lymph flow, and provides lasting relief from heaviness and tenderness. It completes the process by directing mobilised fat and fluid toward proper drainage.

Why Choose This Combination?

Each therapy targets a different part of the lipoedema cycle:

• Cavitation softens fibrotic fat clusters.
• Vacuum therapy mobilises fluid and stimulates flow.
• Compression therapy clears and stabilises the results.

Together, they deliver noticeable relief from:

• Reduce pain and pressure
• Improve mobility and circulation
• Decrease swelling and heaviness
• Enhance contour and tissue softness

This protocol provides a mechanical, circulatory, and lymphatic solution in one session. It targets the fibrosis, fluid retention, and poor circulation that make lipoedema so difficult to manage.
