How the Ballancer® Works

the ballancer® aesthetic compression treatment

The Ballancer® uses patent protected inflating compression garments to apply a gentle or firm massage. Each garment contains 24 individual air chambers that overlap to apply fluent compression strokes that target every inch of the treated area.

This massage motion, with its unique direction of flow, increases circulation and gently but thoroughly decongests the problem areas of hips, thighs, buttocks (Ballancer® pants) and upper arms (Ballancer® jacket).

The Ballancer® action expedites the removal of waste products and excess fluid via the lymphatic system, decreasing the appearance of cellulite, enhancing skin tone, and lessening volume in areas affected by excess fluid retention while Its soft, rhythmic action promotes relaxation.

Modes of Operation

What are sequential compression cycles?

The Ballancer® 606 device applies pressure to the affected limb using the compression garment. The pressure and release cycle enables emptying and refilling the lymphatic, while the directional compression promotes the flow of lymph upward towards the torso.

The Pretherapy (Pretreatment) Cycle

Based on the Wave/Ballancer® cycle, the Pretherapy cycle is a primer for the main treatment. The main purpose is to drain the liquids from the proximal portion of the limb. The compression sequence begins near the trunk of the body. As the sequence progresses, it begins the compression moving lower and lower down the limb.

The Wave/Ballancer® Cycle

The Wave/Ballancer® cycle applies a peristaltic compression sequence to the limb. The sequence is wave-like, where a 30-cm pressure zone is moved along the limb, from distal to proximal. As the pressure in the compression cells rise up the limb, a new air cell is added to the inflated-cells-group, while the first one is deflated, leaving three cells inflated. This occurs progressively until the pressure wave has reached the top of the sleeve and the treatment ends.

The Wave/Ballancer® cycle lasts about 20 seconds. The Wave/Ballancer® cycle treatment progresses to next cell of the sleeve only after the configured pressure is reached and as a result is slower (approx. 30 seconds).

The Slim Cycle

The Slim cycle applies a directional massage that starts at the base of the treated limb, over the foot or hand, and progresses upwards towards the torso until the entire limb is compressed.

This gradual, directional compression assists the flow of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen area and towards the lymphatic collectors in the torso. It prevents reflux („wrong-way flow“) of lymphatic fluid that could occur if only one discrete area was compressed each time. When the compression wave reaches the top of the limb, the pressure is released for a brief intermission, allowing for lymphatic and venous refill.

Ballancer® 505 and Ballancer® 606 are original, complete and the most effective professional devices for clinical applications.
