Vibration Plates & Dry Brushing for Lipedema (Do They Actually Work?)

In this video, I break down simple at‑home strategies to support lymphatic health with lipedema and explain whether vibration plates and dry brushing are worth using—or just hype. Learn how these tools may help reduce the feeling of heaviness, support lymph flow, and fit into a realistic self‑care routine.
I explain how the lymphatic system relies on the skeletal muscle pump and why whole‑body vibration can amplify muscle contractions to move lymph more effectively, support circulation, and potentially ease tissue stiffness. I also show how dry brushing targets the most superficial part of the lymphatic system using light strokes toward the heart as a gentle “primer” before daily activities or a shower.
You’ll get practical, step‑by‑step guidance on how to use these tools at home—simple timing, frequency, and technique suggestions—plus common mistakes to avoid.

Hello, I’m Dr. Markelov, expert lipedema surgeon, Lipedema specialist, and double board certified plastic surgeon specializing in lipedema.
