LIPOEDEMUL
A chronic skin condition similar in appearance to cellulite, lipoedema differs from cellulite in its ability to spread to the calves, ankles and arms. An even more important difference that lipoedema manifests is the sensation of acute pain, which affects freedom of movement in the long term. The symptoms associated with this disease also include swelling of the legs or the appearance of swelling or bruising, which amplifies the feeling of fatigue associated with any effort. Depending on the degree to which it affects the skin, lipoedema is divided into five stages of clinical evolution, from the one in which the patient feels small nodules on the skin to the critical stage of skin deformation and deep damage to nodules and lymphatic vessels.
Despite the general perception, lipoedema also affects men, and of the total number of people suffering from this condition, it accounts for about 2%. Lipoedema occurs both hereditarily and with age. The intensity of the effects of this condition varies from body to body, but a high-fat diet and a sedentary lifestyle can accentuate it. 4D water-assisted liposculpture is the procedure that has proven to be the most effective in the treatment of lipoedema. By atraumatically suctioning the fat in a very short period of time using Body-Jet technology, blood vessels, nerves and cells remain intact and recovery time is greatly reduced. Moreover, by using the technology available at Cronos Med, fat cells are not damaged and can be reused for quality lipofilling.
