To reduce excessive swelling, bringing immediate relief to the limbs
The lymphoedema is a complex chronic condition that manifests itself as persistent swelling, usually localised in one or more limbs. This accumulation of fluid occurs when the lymphatic system, responsible for draining excess fluid, fails to function properly, leading to symptoms that often go beyond simple swelling. Those living with lymphoedema may experience dolore, senso di pesantezza e una graduale perdita di mobilità, che possono rendere difficili anche le attività quotidiane più semplici. Spesso confuso con l’edema, il linfedema richiede un’specific attention, proprio per le sue cause e i sintomi che comporta, che influiscono sul benessere e sulla qualità della vita.
Without proper treatment, lymphoedema can worsen, leading to more serious consequences such as tissue fibrosis, a painful thickening that further reduces the elasticity and mobility of the affected area.
icoone® represents a important ally for the treatment of lymphoedema and is an effective remedy for support the lymphatic circulation. For the doctors, professionals and health centres means relying on a innovative and safe technology supported by scientific research and clinical studies proving its effectiveness.
icoone® technology as a natural remedy for lymphoedema
icoone® treatments can reduce inflammation of the oedematous part which usually involves the peripheral limbs and is caused by different alterations to the lymphatic system.
icoone® is an effective remedy for the treatment of both primary and secondary lymphoedema.
icoone® for the treatment of primary lymphoedema
Primary lymphoedema is linked to a malformation or a malfunction of the lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes. It may be present from birth or it may appear before the age of 35 (in which case it is called early); if it appears later it is called late). icoone® helps improve lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling in a gentle but effective way, whatever the stage or genesis of the dysfunction. This non-invasive approach increases the feeling of well-being and improves tissue mobility from the very first sessions.
icoone® to support the treatment of secondary lymphoedema
Secondary lymphoedema often develops after surgeries related to tumour pathologies, such as in the case of post-mastectomy lymphoedema or after operations for tumours of the uterus and prostate. Thanks to the combination of mechanical stimulation, and the possible addition of LED and laser for even more targeted treatments, icoone® acts in depth on compromised tissues, promoting lymphatic drainage and improving circulation.
Other categories of lymphoedema
Lymphoedema can also occur in other conditions that require a targeted, customised and non-invasive treatment. Tra le principali cause troviamo l’insufficienza venosa cronica, dove il ristagno di sangue nelle vene contribuisce all’accumulo di liquidi nei tessuti, le fasi post-operatorie che possono compromettere la normale funzione linfatica, patologie cardiache o epatiche che alterano l’equilibrio dei fluidi corporei, e infezioni che possono ostruire i vasi linfatici.
How does icoone® work in these cases? Microstimulations raggiungono il tessuto in profondità, favorendo la circolazione degli arti inferiori, delle braccia e delle altre parti del corpo coinvolte dalla patologia. L’azione di icoone® migliora il drenaggio dei liquidi in eccesso accumulati nei tessuti, activating the lymphatic flow. The gentle movements of the medical device on the tissue, then, intervengono sulla rigidità della pelle, favorendone l’elasticità e limitando l’infiammazione.
icoone® for the treatment of lymphoedema, how does it work?
icoone® works on limb swelling caused by lymphoedema based on the patented Roboderm® technology, centred on a unique microstimulation system. An action gentle, deep and completely natural which reactivates vascular microcirculation, increases tissue oxygenation and decreases lymphatic accumulation in the tissues.
To treat legs, arms and areas affected by lymphoedema, one can rely on innovative devices designed for personal well-being, such as icoone ®medical e icoone® lasermed. Both devices feature ergonomic handpieces that can also be applied simultaneously on the same area. The two medical devices differ from each other because icoone® lasermed involves the integration of LED and laser light sources.
The icoone® protocols include customised treatments which the doctor can adapt according to the specific needs of the person, with the possibility of short, repeated sessions over time, even every day.
Why is icoone® effective?
icoone® offers a unique stimulation capable of treating large areas of tissue in depth, effectively and non-invasively. Thanks to advanced microstimulation technology, it is possible to reach even the deepest and most difficult-to-treat areas, offering optimal results.
Icoone® uses an innovative technology developed on the basis of studies by Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau, who described connective tissue as a network of interconnected fibres, where microvacuoles are the functional element that can adapt to different stresses and transfer them to the other components. Each icoone® treatment is designed to respect and enhance this complex skin architecture, ensuring a precise and non-invasive stimulation that enhances the integrity and natural functionality of the skin.
