In this section you will find a selection of our top plastic surgeons and their opinions of Hilotherapy below:

Our experience show that patients feel their pain and swelling were significantly reduced by the hilotherapy and helped in their healing. The patients feel the masks were comfortable to wear and there were zero complications directly related to the device. The majority would recommend the treatment to a friend and many wished they could continue the treatment at home.

Hilotherapy is a closed system superficial tissue cooling device that is superb for controlling soft tissue swelling after facial cosmetic surgery. Less swelling means less pain and less risk of secondary post inflammatory complications.I have been using this device for over 2 years now and nurse -led objective studies on my patients clearly show improved patient satisfaction rates . A happy post-op patient will lead to new referrals and a successful practice.

I have now been using Hilotherm for facial surgery for three years, and have found it a very useful device for managing post-operative facelift patients. The device is universally accepted and liked by patients, and early analysis of my data suggests that the haematoma rate has decreased significantly since I have initiated using the device. More importantly, swelling appears to be greatly reduced and post-operative discomfort decreased.

As a specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery I use HILOTHERAPY for recovery of facial and breast surgery patients. With facial surgery after 24 hours of using Hilotherapy the swelling and pain is subsided (similar to the state after seven days). There is very minimal if any pain, wound healing remains unaffected, in contrast to conventional or even ice-cooling. In breast surgery, the initial swelling is almost completely alleviated. The operated women need significantly less pain medication and be fit again much faster. I can not imagine a professional aesthetic procedure without subsequent cooling using Hilotherapy now.

We use several devices HILOTHERAPY since market launch several years aho. Without exception, all patients are cooled postoperatively. Both swelling and pain sensations are reduced significantly. The devices are an indispensable part of everyday life in our clinic.
Dr. Hartmut Meyer, Praxisklinik Brahmsallee, Hamburg, Plastische Chirurgie
Our clinic is highly specialized in plastic surgery in the facial area. We have been using Hilotherapy for over a year now. With the large variety of cuffs offered, we are able to cool in spite of very different proceedures. Hilotherapy not only leads to a reduction in swelling, but it promotes a faster healing process and this positive effect is also reflected in the significantly lower need for analgesics. The patients love the home care device, which they take home after leaving the hospital. The Hilotherapy has proven successful for us in every way and therefore become a permanent part of our post-operative regimen.

We have been working for several months with the HILOTHERAPY system and are excited about the visible reduction in bruising and swelling in the lower facial region, particularly in the area of the eyelid and nose surgery. Patients are thus much earlier socially acceptable!
Dr. Jan Restel, Praxisklinik für Plastische-Ästhetische Chirurgie, Düsseldorf
In our clinic HILOTHERAPY has been successfully used in about 3 years of postoperative follow-up of aesthetic surgery of the face, chest and in the genital surgery. The patients are extremely satisfied with the treatment and find it very soothing.
Dr. Hermann Solz, Facharzt für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie, Chefarzt der Mannheimer Klinik für Plastische Chirurgie
Immediate postoperative cooling is an integral part of our therapy concept and critically important for gentle pain relief and to minimize swelling. With the HILOTHERAPY this concept can be hygienically, an uncomplicated, noise-free and enjoyable implement already in the recovery room. Particularly pleasing is the moderate cooling, which also excludes damage due to excessive cold. Thus, the HILOTHERAPY from our everyday operations is no longer indispensable.
Dr. Sven von Saldern, Facharzt für plastische und ästhetische Chirurgie, Klinik am Forsterpark/ Praxis Dres. Dörzapf und Partner, Augsburg
HILOTHERAPIE has been proven to us not only excellent medical tool but also as a marketing tool. Many patients have now realized that post-operative swelling and bruising HILOTHERAPY reduced or even prevented. In all the plastic surgery of the face and chest Hilotherm us is the device for 2 years, as expected, become indispensable. Previous experience with the device in traumatology has led to impressive clinical evidence for its effectiveness. Elimination of pain, swelling of lymph flow and improved prophylaxis significantly improve the postoperative comfort of our patients.

We use Hilotherapy daily for hair transplants. We regularly work with the front hairline area, the receding hairline and the front top of the head are permanently reconstructed with new hair roots. Despite microsurgical techniques, it causes swelling that can descend over the forehead to the eye region. Although this does not hurt and it does not influence the subsequent hair growth, but it affects the appearance of our patients for 3-5 days. For 2 years we routinely cool head and neck immediately after hair transplant with the HILOTHERAPY system. We see much less intense swelling and the patient feels good under the application immediately.
