Medical Lymphatic Therapy

What is the treatment?

Typical treatment areas include the upper arms, abdomen, back of the hands, neck, and other areas with loose skin. It is also suitable for treating loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss.

Indications for BTL lymphatic therapy:

Swelling and fluid retention:

Lymphatic therapy helps reduce swelling caused by surgery, injury, prolonged immobility, or chronic conditions such as heart failure.

Lymphedema (lymph fluid accumulation):

This treatment is highly effective for managing lymphedema, which often results from surgery, radiation therapy, or congenital disorders.

Chronic pain and muscle tension:

Lymphatic therapy can help relieve pain and muscle tension, especially in areas where the lymphatic system is compromised, such as musculoskeletal issues.

Postoperative care and recovery from surgery:

The treatment supports faster recovery following surgery and improves tissue and skin regeneration, especially after plastic surgery and other invasive procedures.

Inflammation and infections:

By activating the lymphatic system, the body’s natural healing and immune responses are enhanced, promoting faster recovery.

What results can be achieved with the treatment?

The treatment reduces swelling, improves circulation and metabolism, relieves muscle tension, and helps to firm and smooth the skin. It is particularly effective in treating medical conditions such as lymphedema, chronic pain, postoperative recovery, and lymphatic dysfunctions.

BTL lymphatic therapy activates lymphatic circulation, speeds up fluid drainage, and promotes tissue regeneration—supporting both aesthetic and medical results.

Are there any restrictions for the treatment?

Absolute contraindications include swelling related to kidney, liver, or heart failure, acute thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis, decompensated cardiovascular diseases, acute soft tissue injuries or fractures.

The treatment is also not recommended in the following cases: acute neuropathy or plexopathy, recent revascularization procedures, epilepsy or fever, glaucoma, thyroid dysfunction, infectious diseases or lymphangitis.

Other contraindications include lymphatic obstruction, osteosynthesis or prosthetics in the treatment area, pacemaker, malignant hypertension, and unexplained abdominal pain.

The procedure is not recommended during pregnancy or in cases of malignant tumors.

Recovery Time

There is no actual recovery time after the treatment.

Maintenance of Results

The treatment can be performed as a one-time session, a standalone treatment, or combined with other Klinik Linnea services. For optimal results, we recommend a series of eight sessions, spaced 1–3 weeks apart depending on the indication and treatment plan.
