A 2023 review highlights the critical role of lymphatic regeneration in wound healing. When lymph flow is impaired—as in diabetes—healing slows and inflammation lingers. Therapies that support lymphatic drainage may reduce swelling, clear waste, and promote tissue repair. External compression systems and lymphatic massage offer promising ways to support recovery, especially in post-op or chronic care settings.

A 2023 review highlights how lymphatic massage (MLD) helps reduce swelling, fibrosis, and fluid retention after cosmetic procedures like liposuction and facelifts. MLD improves lymphatic flow and supports faster healing by redirecting fluid through functioning lymph vessels. For clinics, MLD and mechanical lymphatic drainage offer scalable, noninvasive ways to improve recovery outcomes and patient satisfaction.

A 2024 clinical study found no significant difference in swelling reduction or patient experience between manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and intermittent pneumatic compression therapy (IPCT) in patients with lower limb lymphedema. The findings support mechanical systems like those from BH Labs as a convenient, scalable, and clinically effective alternative to hands-on therapy in lymphedema management.
