Bodyflow Therapy

How the Accent and Bodyflow systems work together.

Bodyflow is a clinically proven world-first therapy used to increase blood flow (circulation) and fluid drainage. Specifically stimulating smooth muscle (within veins, arteries and lymphatics), clinical trials have proven Body flow technology effective for the treatment of Sports Recovery, Lymphoedema, Lymphatic drainage and increased blood flow.

How Bodyflow works.

At Accent FatBlaster our doctors, physiotherapists and sports trainers use Bodyflow Therapy to promote the flow of body fluids such as blood and lymph, Body flow has the ability to stimulate smooth muscle within veins, arteries and lymphatic vessels using a specific patented electrostimulation frequency.

Smooth muscle also known as Tunica Media is a non-striated muscle that differs in function and structure to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Primarily under the control of the autonomic nervous system, smooth muscle is apparent through out all tubules of the body - in the walls or hollow organs, in our veins, arteries, lymphatic system, intestinal tracts and bladder. In fact, where there is an excess of fluid, blood and toxins within or around tissue, Bodyflow Therapy promotes drainage through stimulation of the arterial, venous and lymphatic systems thereby helping you to recover faster.

The treatment involves attaching a number of cups and/or electrodes to the appropriate part of your body, which apply a mild transdermal (through skin) electrical stimulus.
You may experience a light tingling sensation, felt through your skin under the administered cup/electrode and a minor muscle twitch may occur indicating the stimulation effect.
The increased flow of blood and lymph is encouraged to the kidneys to be filtered. This results in the toxins and by-products eventually being passed in the urine. At Accent FatBlaster we now combine these treatment technologies to assist and expediently treat and improve Lymphatic drainage and increased blood flow, both clinically proven pre-requisites for effective Accent treatment.

What Bodyflow Treats.

Bodyflow provides symptomatic relief to conditions that have resulted from poor circulation (blood flow) and or
lymphatic uptake.

Conditions that can be treated by Bodyflow:

• Fluid Flushing (lymphatic uptake).
• Lymphoedema.
• Inflammation (sprains and strains).
• Sports Recovery.
• Haematomas (deep bruising).
• Peripheral Vascular Disease
  (poor circulation).
• Varicose Veins.

Increased bloodflow can benefit:

• Post-operative wound healing (patients are treated with Bodyflow after liposculpture procedures).
• Chronic wound healing.

At Accent FatBlaster we combine Bodyflow as an adjunct with Accent dual layer thermotherapy treatment for non invasive fat and cellulite reduction, skin tightening and volumetric shape reduction.
