Fluid Retention & Cellulite
What Is Fluid Retention & Cellulite
Fluid Retention & Cellulite
Fluid retention and cellulite are clinical concerns often stemming from a compromised lymphatic system and poor micro-circulation. When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish, metabolic waste and excess interstitial fluid accumulate within the tissues, causing visible swelling and exacerbating the appearance of "orange peel" skin texture. At Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, we approach these concerns by addressing the physiological triggers of stagnation. Our goal is to enhance the body’s natural detoxification pathways and improve tissue health, ensuring Eden Skin & Laser Clinic patients achieve a smoother, more contoured silhouette.
How Fluid Retention & Cellulite Manifests
Edema & Swelling: A noticeable accumulation of fluid, particularly in the lower limbs, which can lead to a heavy, aching sensation and visible puffiness.
Gynoid Lipodystrophy (Cellulite): The characteristic dimpled appearance of the skin caused by fat deposits pushing through weakened connective tissue bands.
Sluggish Circulation: Skin that feels cool to the touch or appears slightly discoloured, indicating poor blood flow and oxygenation to the dermal layers.
Tissue Congestion: A lack of definition in the limbs and torso caused by the build-up of metabolic byproducts and trapped toxins.
Loss of Skin Tone: A decrease in dermal firmness as chronic fluid retention stretches the skin and weakens the underlying collagen structure.
The Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, Clinical Consultation & Safety Protocol
At EEden Skin & Laser Clinic, a 30-minute clinical consultation is vital for a diagnostic assessment of your lymphatic health and a review of your medical history. This session allows us to rule out underlying systemic issues and ensure that compression therapy is safe for your cardiovascular health. This rigorous protocol ensures that your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, providing a medically-sound path toward detoxification and skin smoothing.
Treatment Options
Eden Skin & Laser Clinic selects the most appropriate modalities from our clinical suite to stimulate lymphatic drainage and refine the skin's surface texture.
Body Ballancer: Gold-standard treatment; this advanced compression system uses a specialised suit to perform a precise, rhythmic massage that mimics the manual lymphatic drainage technique. It effectively flushes out excess fluid, reduces swelling, and helps smooth the fibrous bands associated with cellulite.
Endymed 3Deep Radiofrequency: Secondary treatment; by delivering deep heat into the dermis and subcutaneous layers, this technology tightens the skin and improves its structural integrity, making the appearance of cellulite less prominent.
Skin Peels: Supportive maintenance; for localised areas of body cellulite, clinical peels can improve the superficial texture and "snap-back" of the skin by encouraging cellular renewal.
Hydrafacial (Body): Supportive maintenance; this treatment detoxifies the skin surface and provides deep hydration, which is essential for maintaining the elasticity required to resist the formation of new cellulite dimples.
