MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE THERAPIES: Lymphatic drainage therapy is recommended both pre- and post-surgery, particularly in plastic and reconstructive procedures, bariatric surgery, general surgery, and weight-loss interventions. It is also beneficial for patients with oedema, lymphatic congestion, or fatty liver, and for supporting general systemic recovery and wellbeing.

The lymphatic system is a crucial component of the immune and circulatory systems. It maintains fluid balance, facilitates immune surveillance, and supports the transport of lymphocytes (white blood cells responsible for immune defence) throughout the body. The lymphatic system also serves as a pathway through which cellular debris, toxins, and, in some cases, metastatic cancer cells are filtered and managed by the lymph nodes.

Surgical trauma, illness, or reduced mobility can disrupt normal lymphatic flow, leading to fluid retention, inflammation, and delayed healing. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) employs precise, gentle, rhythmic techniques to stimulate lymphatic circulation, promoting the movement of plasma proteins, interstitial fluid, and lymph from tissues toward functioning lymph vessels and lymph nodes. This process enhances the body’s ability to filter waste, regulate immune activity, and restore tissue homeostasis.

Clinical benefits include:

Reduction of postoperative oedema and inflammation
Enhanced tissue healing and reduced fibrosis
Improved immune function via mobilisation of lymphocytes (white blood cells)
Support for detoxification and lymphatic clearance
Decreased bruising and accelerated recovery
Improved fluid dynamics and circulation of plasma and lymph.

By improving lymphatic transport and immune regulation, lymphatic drainage therapy contributes to faster postoperative recovery, reduced complications, and improved surgical outcomes.

DR WRAPS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE THERAPY: DR WRAPS is a state-of-the-art therapeutic system designed to support post-procedural recovery, tissue remodelling, and overall body wellness. Utilising a two-step, fully automated protocol, a targeted body wrap is applied, followed by placement in the DR WRAP body cuff. The system operates for 45 minutes without manual intervention, integrating with the DOCTOR LIFE lymphatic drainage unit to optimise circulatory and lymphatic function.

Post-surgical recovery requires efficient circulation and lymphatic drainage to minimize edema, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair. Lymphatic stagnation can delay healing and contribute to post-operative discomfort. DR WRAPS facilitates effective lymphatic drainage, promotes metabolic activity, and supports tissue recovery, helping to maintain skin tone, reduce fluid retention, and optimize surgical outcomes.

Indications for use:

Post-operative oedema management
Flaccid or compromised skin following surgery
Localised adiposity and residual fat deposits
Cellulite (orange peel skin)
Fluid retention and lymphatic congestion
Therapeutic Benefits:
Accelerates post-surgical recovery
Enhances lymphatic and circulatory drainage
Supports tissue remodelling and contouring
Reduces discomfort and muscle fatigue
Promotes skin hydration and quality

Treatment Areas:

Arms | Neck | Legs | Abdomen | Calves | Buttocks | Breasts

Patient outcomes:
Clinical reports indicate patients experience reduced swelling, improved tissue tone, enhanced comfort, and a sense of lightness and well-being. DR WRAPS provides consistent, reproducible post-operative therapy, supporting safe and effective recovery.

This drainage system helps various patients recover from skin imperfections, reduce cellulite, remove body toxic waste by promoting blood and lymph circulation and metabolism.

Lymph is the system that carries the waste materials away from the cells, while the blood brings in the nutrients to the cells. Stagnation of fluid makes the cells become exposed to an increased toxic condition. Increased lymphatic drainage deals with the stagnant lymph effectively.

DOCTOR WRAPS is an advanced compression and support system designed to aid recovery and optimise results after body contouring procedures such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, bariatric surgery, and other cosmetic or surgical interventions. By providing targeted compression and gentle support, DR WRAPS helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote proper healing. Its adjustable design allows clinicians to tailor the fit to each patient, ensuring comfort while maximizing the effectiveness of post-operative care. Recommended by medical professionals, DR WRAPS enhances recovery, supports tissue contouring, and helps patients achieve the best possible outcomes from their procedures.

MICROHYDRA-LIFT® THERAPIES: MicroHydra‑LIFT® is a multi‑modal aesthetic device and treatment protocol designed for facial skin rejuvenation. It integrates four core technologies into an eight‑step session (typically ~45 minutes) to deliver cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, lifting and oxygenation of the skin.

Mechanism of action

Deep cleansing & exfoliation: Using cavitational micro‑peeling and micro‑hydroabrasion modalities, the system removes oxidised sebum, dead skin cells and surface debris, helping to clear congested pores.

Hydra infusion: Through a specialised hand‑piece featuring a whirlpool tip, moisture‑rich serums are driven into deeper layers of the epidermis while suction removes debris.

Exfoliation with AHA/BHA: The treatment incorporates both AHA and BHA micro‑hydra steps to support exfoliation of superficial dead cells and improve skin texture.

Bi‑polar radio‑frequency lift: A final radio‑frequency phase delivers thermal energy to the dermal layer, promoting collagen remodelling and skin tightening.

Indications: MicroHydra‑LIFT® is suitable for patients presenting with one or more of the following:

Dehydrated or dull skin

Accumulation of dead surface cells (rough or flaky skin)

Enlarged pores, sebaceous congestion, or blackheads

Early signs of skin laxity or fine lines

Loss of skin radiance or luminosity

SKIN NANO REJUVENATION with REZENERATE® THERAPY is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses a specialised nano-wand to temporarily open the skin's cellular wall, allowing for enhanced absorption of serums to improve skin tone, texture, and fine lines. This process uses nanotechnology to create a pain-free experience that promotes cell function and collagen production without the downtime associated with traditional microneedling.

How it works?

Nano-wand technology: A facial wand with a proprietary silicon pyramid-shaped tip is used to create tiny, temporary permeation on the skin's surface.
Increased product absorption: These nano-channels increase the penetration of potent serums, allowing them to work deeper in the skin to hydrate, plump, and nourish.
Collagen stimulation: The process stimulates the skin's natural regenerative response, encouraging the production of new collagen and promoting healthier, younger-looking skin.
