FAQs
The Body Ballancer® uses patent protected inflating compression garments to apply a gentle or firm massage. Each garment contains 24 individual air chambers that overlap to apply fluent compression strokes that target every inch of the treated area. The massage motion, with its special direction of flow, increases circulation and gently but thoroughly decongests the problem areas of hips, thighs, buttocks and upper arms. The Body Ballancer® action accelerates the removal of waste products and excess fluid via the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite, improving skin tone and reducing volume in areas affected by excess fluid retention whilst it’s gentle, rhythmic action promotes relaxation.
The time taken for a Body Ballancer® treatment to be performed will vary depending on the type of treatment being carried out. On average treatments tend to take around 30 minutes.

Liposuction & CoolSculpting Results – Body Ballancer® will help to reduce swelling caused by inflammation, bring healthy oxygenated blood to the upper dermal layers of skin and speed up scar tissue to repair. CoolSculpting patients in particular will see quicker results from treatment as the dead cells following treatment use the lymphatic system to rid them from the body.
Gut Health – The gut is host to a crucial component of the lymphatic system, the lacteal. The fat we consume is absorbed by the lacteals and carried through the lymphatic network. A sluggish lymphatic system will slow down this process causing unhealthy build ups of fat in the digestive system. A single Body Ballancer® treatment will help to clear this and improve oval gut health.
Cellulite and skin tone – Boosting the supply of fresh, oxygenated blood to the tissues will result in a significant improvement in cellulite and skin quality, leaving it firm, toned and feeling smoother and softer.
Detox & Weight Loss – No need for faddy diets or juice fasts, as the elimination of waste, toxins and fats will be accelerated through an enhanced lymphatic system.
Slimming and Body Contouring – The improvements in the lymphatic and circulatory systems will lead to the rapid elimination of fluid, reducing volume and ‘puffiness’ in as little as a single session.
Fitness and Exercise – Incorporated as part of your fitness routine, the Body Ballancer® will both improve performance and provide active sports recovery.
Stress Relief – Improves the elimination of the free radicals that are a by-product of the body’s stress-fighting hormones, recognised as a factor in premature ageing.
The number of Body Ballancer® that you require will depend on the type of treatment being performed and the condition being targeted. If using the Body Ballancer® to help reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone then a course of treatments will be advised. This usually involves a course of 12 treatments spread over 3 to 4 weeks. When using the Body Ballancer® following a procedure such as Vaser Liposuction a course of 3 to 10 sessions depending on the body areas targeted. Bloating and puffiness in general can be effectively reduced by use of the Body Ballancer®. The effects from treatment are usually felt after a single session but you may choose to have regular treatment to maintain the results.
We advise patients to attend clinic in comfortable clothing that covers the areas being treated. It is best that no skin touches the specialised Body Ballancer® garments due to hygiene reasons.
The lymphatic system sits alongside the body’s cardio-vascular system quietly helping to maintain our health and well-being by performing three critical functions:
Aiding the immune system in removing and destroying waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens and other toxins.
Absorbing fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and delivering these nutrients to the cells of the body where they are used as fuel.
Removing excess fluid – ‘lymph’ and waste products from the spaces between the cells and organs of the body.
A compromised lymphatic system can lead to a range of health issues including tissue swelling, poor skin tone, excess weight, cellulite and headaches.
