We review Body Ballancer – the body contouring and wellness treatment that Jennifer Aniston swears by
BODY BALLANCER
Our Body Ballancer treatment is increasing in popularity after Jennifer Aniston recently posted a photo of herself wearing it on social media.
When journalist Emma from Harper’s Bazaar expressed an interest in the treatment, we were happy to invite her in to try it out/
Body Ballancer is a high-tech device that uses compressed air to mimic the techniques of a manual lymphatic drainage massage traditionally done by hand.
The treatment aims to increase circulation and accelerate the removal of toxins and waste from the body, via the lymphatic system.
It is not just Jennifer Aniston that is a fan, many big names such as Lady Gaga, Chrissy Tiegan and Dame Kelly Holmes have also sung their praises about the treatment and have purchased machines to use at home.

Emma’s review of the treatment was featured in Harper’s Bazaar.
“The Body Ballancer is a fantastic compression therapy treatment that targets the lymphatic system,” says Mr Michael Mouzakis, consultant plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon at Harley Street’s The Private Clinic.
“There are two Body Ballancer garments; a jacket which is used for the upper body and trousers which are used for the lower body,” continues Mouzakis. You can wear either or both depending on your goals. By imitating the techniques of manual lymphatic drainage (specifically, the advanced massage ‘Dr Vodder Method’), the suits boost blood circulation and lymph flow which, in turn, “improve the appearance of cellulite, skin tone and reduce areas of swelling”.
At The Private Clinic we often recommend the treatment to patients who want to improve their post-surgical recovery especially after liposuction treatment.
Treatment involves being zipped into the trousers or jacket which are then attached to the Body Ballancer machine, which has special protocols to inflate and deflate them. The length of treatment ranges from l30 minutes to 60 minutes
“The version we use in the clinic is state-of-the-art and can be programmed to suit exact specifications for patients with up to 100 bespoke massages,” says Mouzakis.
The massages vary in intensity levels. A long, deep and slow wave-like motion is ideal for a sports massage, while a more rapid massage is great for treating tired legs.
“The number of Body Ballancer sessions required will depend on the type of treatment being performed and the condition being targeted,” notes Mouzakis. For improving skin tone and reducing cellulite, he recommends a course of 12 treatments spread over three-to-four weeks.
Our Review
According to both experts, you will likely see improvements after a single session – but best results come from a course of treatment. To see the results for ourselves, we tried the 606 Ballancer Premium in-clinic for a 45-minute treatment that focused on general lymphatic drainage. After lying down, slipping into the trousers, and being hooked up to the machine, the rhythmic massage began.
Utterly relaxing, the massage melts away all tension and leaves you feeling drained (in a good way) and lighter. Floating out of the clinic and feeling re-energised by home time (an hour commute later), we didn’t see any dramatic changes to overall skin tone, however ankles and lower legs looked less puffy.
“Other results include detoxing and overall gut health improvement, stress relief, aiding with weight loss and improving skin tone that looks dull and tired,” adds Mouzakis.
