Reduce Swelling and Recover Comfortably After Surgery

At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, we offer HIVAMAT® Therapy as part of our advanced post-operative care protocols. This gentle, hands-on therapy uses unique oscillation technology to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and promote faster recovery — beginning as early as 24 hours after surgery.

What Is HIVAMAT Therapy?

HIVAMAT stands for Histological Variable Manual Technique, and it uses a form of deep oscillation therapy to stimulate the lymphatic system. By improving lymphatic drainage, HIVAMAT helps your body clear excess fluid more efficiently, speeding up the healing process and enhancing overall results.

This non-invasive treatment targets post-surgical edema (swelling), which can cause:

  • Tenderness or discomfort
  • Hardness or lumpiness in tissues
  • Delayed healing or scar tissue formation

Key Benefits of HIVAMAT

  • Can be used just 24 hours after surgery
  • Provides immediate reduction in swelling
  • Relieves pain without medication
  • Enhances circulation and tissue detoxification
  • Improves skin softness and texture
  • Feels like a relaxing spa treatment

Why It Works

HIVAMAT has been used for over 20 years in the treatment of lymphedema, a condition very similar to acute post-surgical swelling. It works by generating gentle, pulsed electrostatic fields that reach deep into the tissue — stimulating the flow of fluids, breaking up inflammation, and encouraging healing at the cellular level.

Unlike other post-op therapies, HIVAMAT is:

  • Safe for all areas of the body, including over the eyes, heart, and spine
  • Compatible with implants, with no interference
  • Effective across all skin types
