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.

A 2024 clinical study shows PEMF therapy significantly reduces pain and swelling after orthognathic (jaw) surgery. Patients treated with PEMF had 3.6% greater reduction in facial swelling by day 4 and reported lower pain scores throughout recovery. This noninvasive therapy also reduced the need for pain medication, making it a promising tool to support faster, more comfortable healing.

Clinical study shows PEMF therapy significantly reduces post-op pain, narcotic use, swelling, and inflammation after breast reduction surgery. Patients using PEMF had 4× lower pain at 72 hours, 2× less wound fluid, and 5× lower inflammatory markers—offering a safe, noninvasive option to improve recovery outcomes and reduce reliance on medications.
