New treatment methods for lipoedema - small intestine analysis, water jet, LipoSaver (ultrasound), 3D scan, plasma lifting, impulse technology and more

As a long-standing expert in lipedema surgery, I, Dr. Denis Simunec, would like to welcome you to the ^revitCells® practice clinic. On this page, you can find out more about our state-of-the-art range of treatments, which differs from conventional treatment concepts primarily due to its holistic approach with efficient additional measures before, during and after treatment.

Liposuction alone is not enough! - Holistic therapy

At ^revitCells®, I take a holistic approach to all therapeutic procedures. In the case of lipoedema, it is known that fundamental control circuits in the fat metabolism are disturbed. In addition to the surgical removal of lipoedema fatty tissue, I also follow the approach of carrying out complementary therapies close to the cause. For the first time, we are able to carry out highly complex analyses of the small intestine (NOT the large intestine!) with just 2 drops of blood - if the microbiota is often abnormal, appropriate treatments can then be carried out.

In any case, so-called multimodal therapies, i.e. the interaction of several treatments, are more effective than just "liposuction".

Diagnostics with determination of the microbiota of the small intestine via two drops of blood and the determination of the omega fatty acid balance as well as the preparation of a therapy plan are included.

Liposuction with water jet and LipoSaver (ultrasound)

I combine state-of-the-art technologies and go beyond the usual procedures, which usually only include the water-jet procedure (WAL) or power-assisted liposuction (PAL). In my RevitCells clinic, the fatty tissue is prepared with an ultrasound probe (lipoSaver) for the first time before the water-jet procedure. The fat cells are then destroyed using ultrasound and subsequently removed using a water jet. The major advantage of this method is the significantly reduced use of irrigation fluid, which leads to faster recovery and fewer circulatory problems for patients.

3D body scan for optimal analysis

A particularly unique feature of my ^revitCells® lipoedema therapy is the use of a complete 3D laser body scan before and after the treatment. This, in combination with a photo analysis, allows the treatment to be optimally planned and its results ideally analyzed. This is important in order to identify the therapy approach tailored to your needs and thus achieve the greatest possible effect. You also receive access to your 3D scans and other measurement results via an app on your smartphone.

Custom-fit compression garment from the company LIPOELASTIC® included

Due to the 3D laser analysis, we can use the determined body data to select and order a prefabricated compression garment from the company LIPOELASTIC® for you. The compression garment will thus be delivered to us on time for your operation. You do not have to worry about anything anymore.

Less scars due to Softstop

Through what I call the "soft stop" procedure, I have developed a suction technique that additionally protects the skin mantle and allows for more inconspicuous scars afterwards. As a plastic surgeon and hand surgeon, my special knowledge of the anatomical structures of the connective tissue of the arm and hand also allows me to suction the areas of these regions that are usually difficult to treat.

Argo plasma for additional tightening

Argo plasma treatment(download flyer here) is also a very new procedure to achieve additional tightening effects in the tissue. This procedure can be used as a stand-alone or in combination after water jet liposuction. In this way, the sagging skin areas can be additionally tightened immediately after liposuction without having to remove the excess skin. The tightening effect starts immediately, the final result can be seen after 3-6 months(Video1 and Video2).

Supportive body composition via HIEMT technology

Optionally and accompanying liposuction, several sessions, starting 4 weeks after liposuction, of a HIEMT application can be included in the treatment. This is a high-intensity, muscle-building application while lying down, in which targeted, electromagnetic stimulation is used to strengthen and define individual muscle groups, as well as to increase fat burning in the body and stimulate blood circulation in the connective tissue.

Stress management through HRV analysis: prevention and alleviation of chronic inflammation

The medical benefits of heart rate variability (HRV) have been known for a long time. Health means that the body is able to regulate and adapt itself. The better this ability is developed, the better and healthier we feel. The Nilas MV system uses hand electrodes to measure 300 heartbeats and analyzes various parameters that reveal your body's ability to regulate itself.

HRV reflects the autonomic communication between the heart, brain and body. In many diseases, such as chronic illnesses, depression, burnout, stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure or nerve inflammation, a blockage in the vegetative regulation and thus a reduced HRV can be detected. It is also known that stress can promote and trigger chronic inflammation.

In addition to HRV, Nilas MV records other complementary medical, psycho-emotional and energetic factors, such as biological age, energy reserves, overall health index and brain wave activity. With the help of figures and diagrams, Nilas MV clearly shows "where you currently stand", how much stress your body is under and how well it can react to external and internal stimuli.

By determining the stress index and initiating appropriate treatment, we hope to reduce cellular stress and thus also mitigate or even stop inflammatory processes.

Only the best for our lipedema patients

From now on, every lipoedema patient at ^revitCells® will be fitted with a very effective and innovative system directly after the operation, which has been proven to drastically reduce post-operative swelling in the extremities using impulse technology. The reduced swelling is accompanied by a reduction in pain and faster convalescence.

In addition to the included 3D laser scan or the holistic metabolic therapy (microbiota), the new pulse technology is another tool to offer our lipedema patients state-of-the-art technologies!
