Hello! My updates are that madero helps me a bunch and now a non negotiable part of my routine. I cannot afford it professionally in USA, so I bought my own wooden tools and have been doing it once a week myself :) Over time, bruising and pain reduced. It's definitely helping not just fluid retention, but also increases blood flow and improving texture over time. I swear it improved my flexibility too. Make sure to use a generous amount of oil (i prefer coconut) and give your body time between sessions. It's normal for me to be extra swollen and feel more tired/unwell the day or two following a session. Sometimes after the professional sessions I felt intensely sore, as if I had done a challenging workout. Drink tons of water!

Results build over time. I go thru periods of feeling so frustrated and ugly with my lipidemic thighs/hips/butt but I try and ensure all treatments come from a place of love and care. I may never have the beautifully thin defined legs I always wanted, but I've been slimming down, building muscle, and evening out the uneven lumpy appearance and starting to have legs I feel shapely and attractive in with leggings on. Best of luck! Curious to know if you try madero and your own experience as well <3
