Lipedema is a condition that causes an uneven buildup of fat, primarily in the lower body. This fat accumulation is not due to lifestyle or diet and does not respond to traditional weight loss methods. It often leads to discomfort, tenderness, and a heavy feeling in the limbs, which can impact daily life. While there is currently no cure, there are ways to manage symptoms and improve well-being.
Creating a disproportionate lower body shape
Causing an uneven distribution of fat
Often resulting in a “column-like” appearance
Sometimes affected, while hands and feet remain unchanged
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is the cornerstone of lipedema treatment — but it doesn’t stop there. To truly enhance your journey, we combine MLD with powerful complementary treatments that work together to elevate your results. These innovative combinations offer better ways to manage lipedema symptoms, helping you feel lighter, more energized, and supported every step of the way.
Lipedema develops gradually, progressing through different stages:
Soft skin with a mild increase in fat, often mistaken for normal weight gain
Fatty nodules become more noticeable, leading to dimpling and a lumpy texture
Larger fat deposits form, gradually becoming more resistant, affecting movement and daily comfort, leading to increased discomfort.
The condition may worsen with additional swelling (lymphedema), increasing heaviness and difficulty with mobility
Manage its symptoms and improve daily comfort. One of the most gentle and transformative treatments is Lymphatic Drainage Massage.

k. Mayson de Carteret2024-11-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Let me be straight – I rarely dish out five-star reviews, but Azalea Therapy & Spa has genuinely earned it and my loyalty. After two visits and a third already in the calendar, I'm genuinely impressed by their professional treatment, ambience and follow-up care. As someone battling serious fluid retention, I've run the gamut with Brazilian lymphatic massages elsewhere. One was a complete letdown that actually made my retention worse, another was actually nice. But the therapist here? Absolutely exceptional. The level of expertise and attention to detail is remarkable – hands down the most effective treatment I've encountered, backed by thorough aftercare communication. I'm frankly delighted to have discovered Azalea Therapy & Spa and haven't hesitated to commit to regular sessions. If you're struggling with persistent fluid retention like I do, trust me on this one – book yourself in. The results speak for themselves. This place delivers exactly what it promises, and then some. PS - It's a proper, results-focused lymphatic massage – exactly as it should be. PPS - The team is not only highly skilled and genuinely welcoming. Now go get yourself booked in!
