Deep Oscillation is a patented therapy which is delivered via massage or applicators. A therapeutically beneficial electrostatic field is created in the tissue segment undergoing treatment. As the vinyl gloved hands or applicators glide over the tissue, the tissue layers are attracted and released up to 250 per second (250 Hz).
Deep Oscillation permeates a clinically proven depth of 8cm. No pressure is required to achieve effects making it an ideal treatment for Lipoedema. It is gentle, relaxing and pleasant. Pain is significantly reduced, inflammation suppressed, the oedema element of lipoedema is reduced, bruising resorbs. Where present, fibrosis is tackled effectively, limbs feel lighter and mobility is enhanced.
Pre-Operatively
Since Deep Oscillation possesses anti-oedema, lymph drainage, anti-fibrosis and detoxifying properties, it prepares the tissue for liposuction, makes liposuction more effective and durable and protects against adverse effects of the body sculpting procedure.
Post Operatively
Because it can be used at a very early post-operative stage, the healing process is accelerated, reduced pain, bruising and swelling, scar quality is improved, and local inflammation is inhibited and stopped over a sustained period.
In treatment, the patient holds a titanium element in the palm of their hand or it is placed between their toes. The Therapist is connected via an electrode adhered to their arm and they put on a pair of vinyl gloves which act as the semi-conductor for the therapy to work. Powder is applied to the area, which helps the therapy to glide over the skin once the massage begins. A normal treatment is around 30 minutes and is very relaxing, reducing pain and improving mobility within 10-15 minutes.

Body Ballancer is a versatile, relaxing yet revitalising compression therapy system, manufactured by the world’s leading producer of medical compression therapy devices. Using the proven principles of manual lymphatic drainage massage, it offers an effective answer to a number of aesthetic and health concerns, including cellulite, water retention, poor skin tone and sluggish digestion that can lead to bloating and discomfort.
A course of Body Ballancer massages can reduce the appearance of cellulite, firming, smoothing and toning skin, and reducing volume in the abdomen, upper arms, buttocks and legs that are most commonly affected by fluid retention.
Body Ballancer uses patent-protected inflating compression garments to apply a gentle to firm massage.
Each garment contains 24 individual air chambers that overlap to apply fluent compression strokes that target every inch of the treated area.
This massage motion, with its special direction of flow, increases circulation and gently but thoroughly decongests the problem areas of hips, thighs, buttocks (Ballancer Pro Pants) and upper arms (Ballancer Pro Jacket).
Body Ballancer accelerates the removal of waste products and excess fluid via the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite, improving skin tone, and reducing volume in areas affected by excess fluid retention. Its gentle, rhythmic action also promotes relaxation.
This will depend on the particular issue being treated.Cellulite and skin tone improvements usually require a course of treatments. We usually recommend 12 spread over three to four weeks.Used both pre- and post-liposculpture, Body Ballancer® can improve the results of both invasive and non-invasive techniques. One or two sessions right up to the day of the procedure will help boost lymphatic flow and clear the area of excess fluid. After treatment, a course of four to six will reduce bruising and swelling. The desired body shape will be achieved faster and with less discomfort.For bloating and puffiness caused by excess water retention, significant results can be obtained in as little as a single session.
Body Ballancer® offers benefits in the following areas:
Cellulite and skin tone: Boosting the supply of fresh, oxygenated blood to the tissues can result in a significant improvement in cellulite and skin quality, leaving it firm and toned. Slimming and body contouring: Improvements in the lymphatic and circulatory systems can lead to the rapid elimination of excess fluid, reducing volume and puffiness in as little as a single treatment.

Lymphatic Drainage consists of gentle, repetitive strokes to facilitate the lymphatic system. Often referred to as a ‘detox massage’, it is a specialised massage that supports your body’s internal filtration system to keep your immune system in check.
It works by stimulating the lymphatic glands using massage to drain the excess fluid from the body, directing it back into the bloodstream where it can then be flushed out through your kidneys.
Each patients package is tailored to there needs.Each session will last 60-90 minutes.
Studies have shown Lymphatic drainage is highly recommended whilst experiencing lymphoedema or as a preventative measure. A study conducted in America showed that 45% of mastectomy patients will get lymphoedema fifteen years after lymph node removal. Lymphatic drainage encourages lymph fluid to move away from the swollen area so it can drain normally and helps control swelling.
Lymphatic drainage is essentially a fast track to your system and therefore the benefits are plentiful. It can address multiple issues such as water retention and toxins as well as speeding up metabolism, boosting your immune system, aiding digestion and stimulating circulation.
Lymphatic drainage is highly recommended after surgeries because it improves circulation, draining away toxins and dead cells, maximising nutrition for faster and improved recovery. It is effective in preventing fibrosis and eliminates bruises and swelling quicker.
It’s recommended to start 48 hours after your surgery. Your surgeon will advise you to take a shower 48 hours post op, booking you massage for after your shower is the ideal scenario. .
