Water retention: how it’s treated in beauty therapy

Water retention is a problem that mainly affects women, primarily due to hormonal and genetic factors. Several factors cause the altered functionality of the lymphatic system, responsible for water retention. These include:

• – Genetic predisposition to slowing venous and lymphatic circulation.
• – Bad eating habits: excessive salt consumption, tinned foods, coffee, alcohol.
• – Use of medication such as birth control pills or anti-inflammatories.
• – Presence of specific diseases (diabetes, hypertension, liver or kidney problems).
• – Specific physical conditions such as pregnancy or menopause.
• – Sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, smoking.

Water retention remedies

Beauty treatments address water retention in many ways. From mud packs to body wrapping, from pressotherapy to the vacuum system.

Amongst all the non-invasive beauty devices on the market, Endospheres Compressive Microvibration® therapy is definitely the one that stands out. Indeed, Endospheres achieves extraordinary results in a remarkably short time thanks to the “lymphatic pump” effect. Specifically, the pulsed and rhythmic movement of the spheres creates the pump effect. This movement acts on the lymphatic system and eliminates excess fluids characteristic of lymphatic stasis.

Endospheres originates in phlebolymphology and clinical studies have been carried out in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation medicine. The primary objective of the method is to treat pathologies of the lymphatic system in a non-invasive way, with the backing of certified and clinically proven results.

Words of an expert

Dr. Silvia Bozzelli, physiotherapist and Endospheres Training Manager, explains:

“Endospheres Therapy acts in a very deep way on the lymphatic system thanks to two of its peculiarities. Firstly, the typicality of the movement of the spheres in the opposite direction to the advancement of the handpiece. Then, the execution of the treatment according to scientific protocols. Thanks to these characteristics, it achieves a pumping action with progressive displacement of liquids. It restores the Starling equation, responsible for maintaining homeostasis within the vessels and the extracellular matrix. As a result, it ensures the elimination of excess fluids, with stable and long-lasting results.”

Dr. Bozzelli continues:

“Scientific studies confirm the application of Compressive Microvibration® for the reduction of edema. They demonstrate a clear reduction of the supramalleolar and trochanteric thickness in the treated patients”.

The Endospheres action mechanism

“So what does this all mean? I’ll try to simplify the medical language used so far as much as possible!”

“Water retention means liquids that accumulate and cannot be disposed of by the body. The main reason for this is a malfunction of the lymphatic system. So, in beauty therapy this is where we have to act to solve the problem. The device’s 55 spheres arranged in a honeycomb position rotate quickly and produce a pulsed and rhythmic movement. In this way, they create a lymphatic pump effect, eliminating toxins and excess fluids. Studies show a significant reduction in swelling and an improvement in the functioning of the lymphatic and venous system. Last but not least, the method is unique and internationally patented.”

Dr. Silvia Bozzelli therefore confirms that perfection in body shaping is a promise that Endospheres Therapy keeps. This is why it is making a name for itself in the world of aesthetics at national and international levels. The winning mission of the Fenix ​​Group is to develop the best medical beauty equipments to produce and distribute the most innovative, competitive and efficient devices. The technologies are developed on preliminary scientific studies, necessary to ensure results and safety.

All in the name of scientific safety and Made in Italy.
