Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is one of the oldest therapy methods in the whole world and originates from traditional Chinese medicine.

The cupping glasses are placed in the required locations. Before putting them on, a negative pressure is created, which creates a vacuum on the skin. This leads to a stronger blood circulation of the tissue, thus increases the metabolic activity and strengthens the immune system permanently.

Overall, cupping therapy has an activating and invigorating effect. Cupping massage is a variation of cupping therapy. The skin is rubbed with oil before the start of the treatment and massaged with the help of the attached cupping glasses.

Shockwave therapy

Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) has been specially adapted for aesthetic medicine and is steadily gaining in importance.

During treatment, two high-energy, high-frequency acoustic waves are directed into the body.

The versatile effect on different types of tissue and cells serves to improve metabolism and blood circulation in the area of application.

The waves lead to new formation of connective tissue by pressing fat out of the cells.

Lymphatic drainage

Our lymphatic system, unlike the blood system, does not form a circuit.

In the smallest vessels of our body, the process of the lymphatic transport system begins "blindly" and ensures that bacteria, cancer cells or dead or damaged cells present in the tissue can return to the blood circulation system and be removed.

However, if our lymphatic system does not work as it should, lymphedema, lipoedema, and venous swelling occur, promoting further disease.

**Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive method of treating fat deposits with cold application.

During the therapy, a vacuum-generating treatment head is placed in the area of application, which supercools the fatty tissue to -3°C to -10°C. This causes the fat cells to react more sensitively to cold than other cells. Because fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other cells, the treatment leads to permanent cell death.

The surrounding tissue is not affected, which makes the treatment safe and gentle.

The destroyed fat cells are broken down naturally and removed via the lymphatic system. This process is completed after 4-10 weeks.
