LymphaTouch
What is Lymphatouch?
How Does Lymphatouch Work?
On the Lymphatic system:
This system removes excess fluid from the body tissues – similar to a waste removal system – where your blood system delivers the goodness, the lymphatics take out the badness! Unlike the blood system, the lymphatics don’t have a natural pump, like the heart, meaning flow can stall and swelling can develop.
LymphaTouch gently lifts the skin creating a negative pressure under the skin causing the lymphatic vessels to dilate (open up) making it easier for the system to take in the excess fluid. Think of it like the plug in a sink – LymphaTouch simply makes the plug bigger.
By dilating the lymphatic vessels, more fluid can enter the system which increases the flow and therefore reduces the swelling or excess fluid in the area.
On Scars:
After injury or surgery, we will get a scar. They come in many shapes and sizes and can present with different problems, from being tight and restrictive, to being visibly displeasing. LymphaTouch helps by improving how a scar heals. By providing a light suction, this encourages more blood and lymphatic flow, which is what our body needs to help the healing process.
LymphaTouch can also help those tight, restrictive scars. We often see scars adhering/sticking down. By controlling the negative pressure from LymphaTouch, we can gently lift and release the scar tissue. Often once we see an improvement in blood flow and scar movement, the appearance improves too.
