THE SCIENCE BEHIND COMPRESSION THERAPY
Compression therapy is a therapeutic technique that involves applying precisely targeted pressure to support blood circulation and the lymphatic system. The goal of this method is to improve tissue perfusion, promote lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and expedite healing after surgical procedures. In everyday life, compression therapy can provide relief from heavy and swollen legs and help individuals with the condition known as Lipoedema.
Compression Therapy in post-operative care
What is the science behind compression therapy and why is it so crucial during recovery?
After plastic-aesthetic procedures, such as breast augmentation or liposuction, swelling and hematomas can occur in the operated area. This is the body’s natural response to the healing process.
Targeted and continuous pressure helps limit the accumulation of bodily fluids around the wound. Simultaneously, it supports blood supply to the tissue, nutrient transport and overall healing.

Why you should wear compression garments
Compression therapy is an integral part of the recovery process following plastic-aesthetic procedures, such as liposuction or abdominoplasty.
Choosing a suitable compression garment ensures optimal pressure on the operated area, stimulating the absorption of swelling, improving blood and lymphatic circulation and tissue perfusion. This contributes to faster healing and improved skin condition after recovery.
Carefully selected postoperative garments, with compression neither too weak nor too strong, can positively influence the desired outcome of the aesthetic procedure.
Compression Therapy can help:
Reduce swelling and bruising
Reduce the risk of complications
Manage pain
Reduce formation of scars
Speed up the healing process
Compression therapy after augmentation
Compression bras worn after breast augmentation provide all the benefits of compression therapy. They can support healing and optimal wound recovery.
The most crucial role of compression bras lies in maintaining the correct position of breast implants. Good fixation prevents potential implant anomalies, such as displacement or asymmetry.
Compression for everyday life activities
Compression therapy offers many health benefits that you will appreciate in your everyday life. Compression clothing, such as ACTIVE leggings by LIPOELASTIC®, applies gentle but continuous pressure on your legs, which helps improve blood circulation and strengthen the functioning of the lymphatic system. A healthy lymph flow supports the flushing of toxic substances from the body, thereby reducing swelling and the appearance of cellulite.
Compression can help athletes with faster muscle recovery. The better blood circulation, the better the muscles are perfused and regenerate faster.
Compression Therapy can help:
Improve blood circulation
Support the lymphatic system
Relieve heavy-legs feeling
Reduce signs of cellulite
Improve muscle regeneration
Optically shape contours
Compression Therapy and Lipoedema
Compression therapy is an effective way to help manage the symptoms of Lipoedema. Patients can wear LIPOELASTIC® compression garments as part of post-operative care after liposuction or for daily wear to alleviate common symptoms.
Gradual pressure on the lower or upper limbs supports the venous and lymphatic system function and improves blood circulation. This helps reduce swelling, soreness and build-up of fluid in the body.
Compression Therapy can help:
Reduce swelling
Relieve heavy-leg feeling
Improve mobility
Improve blood and lymph circulation
Alleviate pain and discomfort
Improve limb’s appearance
