Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy in Mexico City
It is the specialty that can change your surgical result, and ideally it starts within the first 48 to 72 hours after surgery.
What it is
dermatofunctional physiotherapy is the area of physiotherapy specialized in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is not a relaxing massage or a spa drainage: it is a clinical treatment that works on inflammation, accumulated fluid, fibrosis and adhesions, with manual techniques and technology, following the real phases of your healing. In this consultation we assess your tissue and design your protocol, whether to prepare you before surgery, to recover afterward, or to enhance an aesthetic treatment.
What it treats, in detail
Post-surgical recovery
Reduces swelling and pain, prevents fibrosis, seromas, adhesions and retractions, and improves scar quality. It applies to liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast surgery and others.
Pre-surgical optimization
Preparing the tissue and lymphatic system before surgery, so you arrive in better condition and recover better.
- Treatment of established fibrosis, hardened areas and irregularities after a previous surgery.
- Lymphatic drainage and fluid retention.
- Support for aesthetic contouring treatments, enhancing fat clearance and tissue response.
Scar management
Elasticity, texture and mobility.
- Education about your compression garment, one of the keys to avoiding complications.
Who it’s for
anyone about to have surgery or who already had it, anyone with fibrosis or hardened areas from a previous surgery, anyone retaining fluid, and anyone in a contouring treatment who wants better results.
What it is NOT
it is not an aesthetic massage or a relaxation service. And it does not replace follow-up with your surgeon; we always work coordinated with them.
What to expect
- 01
in the consultation we assess your tissue, your recovery phase and your goals, and build a protocol with number of sessions and frequency.
- 02
Techniques are chosen by phase: in the inflammatory stage, gentle lymphatic drainage and photobiomodulation; later, tissue remodeling techniques such as radiofrequency, therapeutic ultrasound, shockwaves and scar mobilization.
- 03
Many patients notice improvement in texture, swelling and comfort within the first 3 to 5 sessions.
Our commitment
the evidence is clear that starting early changes the outcome. Acting within the first 48 to 72 hours allows us to modulate inflammation and prevent fibrosis, rather than treating it once established. That is why we will insist on starting on time, not once the problem appears.
Myth vs reality
Myth
“Post-surgical massage starts once the swelling is gone.”
Reality
it is the opposite. Historically it began weeks later, when complications were already established. Today we know that early intervention, within the first 48 to 72 hours, prevents fibrosis and speeds recovery. Waiting is exactly what allows hardened areas to appear.
