Let’s talk about something that affects far more people than you might think, but barely gets talked about: Lipoedema.
If you’ve ever felt like your legs or arms are disproportionately larger than the rest of your body, or you bruise easily, feel pain, or swell no matter what you eat or how much you exercise – you could be dealing with this underdiagnosed, misunderstood condition.
At Hypoxi Slim Suite, we don’t just focus on aesthetics. We support real women with real conditions like Lipoedema, offering non-invasive, lymphatic-supporting treatments that can ease symptoms and boost quality of life.
What Is Lipoedema?
Lipoedema is a chronic condition involving an abnormal build-up of fat cells, usually in the lower body:
- Hips
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Calves
- Sometimes the arms
Unlike general weight gain, Lipoedema fat doesn’t respond well to diet or exercise, which can be extremely frustrating for those affected.
Common Symptoms of Lipoedema:
- Painful or tender fat (especially to touch or pressure)
- Bruising easily
- Legs feeling heavy or tired constantly
- Swelling in the lower body that gets worse as the day goes on
- Skin that feels soft, doughy or nodular
It typically worsens over time and is often mistaken for obesity or lymphoedema, which can delay diagnosis and support.
Who Gets Lipoedema?
Lipoedema predominantly affects women and is often triggered or worsened by hormonal changes, such as:
- Puberty
- Pregnancy
- Menopause
While there’s no known cure (yet), the good news is: management is possible – and we’re here to help.
How We Support Clients with Lipoedema
At Hypoxi Slim Suite Bagshot, we take a holistic and supportive approach. We understand that this isn’t about weight loss – it’s about comfort, relief, and confidence.
Here’s how we help:
Hypoxi Therapy →
This low-impact treatment combines gentle cycling with vacuum therapy to stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage in the legs, hips, and buttocks. Clients often report a reduction in swelling, lighter legs, and even reduced pain over time.
Far Infrared Body Wrap →
The soothing heat from this wrap increases circulation, encourages detoxification, and helps reduce fluid retention. For clients with Lipoedema, this can provide much-needed relief from that heavy-leg feeling.
EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) →
Gentle electrical stimulation encourages muscle activation and supports the body’s natural drainage processes. This is especially beneficial if mobility or pain makes exercise difficult.
All treatments are tailored individually and delivered in a private, supportive, no-pressure environment.
