28 Days Venen Engel Application in Test
28 days of application in the test – results from the Venen Engel self-care program
A practice report shows: Regular self-care with the Venen Engel can noticeably improve well-being.
Heavy, swollen, or aching legs? Do you have the diagnosis or suspicion of lipedema or lymphedema? These complaints are widespread: Long periods of standing, restricted lymph flow, or water retention in the tissue affect not only the body but also the quality of life.
You are not alone!
Studies and professional societies estimate that about 10% of the female population suffers from lipedema. That corresponds to several million affected individuals! Since many cases remain undetected, the actual numbers could be even higher.
What could a path back to more quality of life look like?
At Venen Engel, we are in daily contact with those affected and understand how burdensome and life-altering the pain and swelling can be in everyday life. We are convinced of our IPK devices. To find out how targeted compression massage at home can help, the "28-Day Venen Engel Selfcare Program" was launched.
30 women tested the medically certified Venen Engel 8 Premium with the innovative Lymph Flow-Pants for four weeks. The self-care program combines not only regular compression massage but also impulses for movement, nutrition, and relaxation exercises.
The result: After just a few days, many participants reported more lightness, energy, and joy of life.
The idea and implementation behind the self-care program
The goal of the Venen Engel self-care program was to document the effect of our device under real everyday conditions – not in laboratory conditions, but in a practical way.
The program involved 30 women aged 22 to 66 who suffered from lipedema and/or lymphedema. They used the medically certified Venen Engel 8 Premium daily for 15 to 30 minutes over a period of 28 days.
Additionally, the participants received a digital self-care companion book that guided them through the four weeks. It supported them in focusing on awareness, self-care, and mindfulness and also helped document their individual progress.
Thus, their well-being was assessed in four categories:
- Energy
- Lightness
- Feeling of swelling
- General well-being
The evaluation speaks for itself: Noticeably more energy and lightness
| Well-being of Participants | Average Improvement |
|---|---|
| General Well-being | +20 % |
| Energy Level | +27,8 % |
| Perceived Lightness | +17,8 % |
| Perceived Swelling | -22,2 % |
Many participants reported noticeably more energy, lightness, and well-being in everyday life.
The program demonstrates how targeted compression massage combined with conscious self-care can significantly improve quality of life.
Many women reported that their legs felt softer, lighter, and less tense. Some participants reported this after a short time. Sleep quality, mood, and energy also improved significantly.
“Since I started using the Venen Engel, I can sleep better and have less pain.”
“The massage is my daily highlight – finally feeling my body again.”
These results show: Targeted relief of the legs through regular pressure massage can reduce swelling, alleviate feelings of tension, and promote regeneration. A valuable support for holistic edema therapy and a way back to more lightness in everyday life.
More than measurements – an experience of self-care
The special thing about the program: It worked not only physically but also emotionally.
Some participants felt the application was a ritual for themselves, a small break in a stressful day.
"I look forward to my 15 minutes of peace. It's my time to do something for myself."
The Venen Engel has become a symbol of self-care, relief, and control over one's own body for many. This routine not only strengthens leg health but also raises awareness for greater well-being.
Why the Venen Engel works
The technology is based on the so-called intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) – a gentle, rhythmic deep tissue massage through air chambers that can activate lymph flow and promote vascular circulation. This can help the body better transport excess fluid from the tissue, loosen the tissue, make the skin appear firmer, and thus improve the skin's appearance. The application offers a gentle therapy for home use, which can be perfectly integrated into the daily routine. For relieving pain, reducing swelling, and supporting the venous and lymphatic systems. The medically certified models from Venen Engel are also ideal as a supplement to manual lymphatic drainage.
“The tissue in my legs has also become noticeably softer, as my physiotherapist has confirmed.”
Self-care that lasts
Many participants continue the application even after the program. Not because they have to, but because they want to.
"I don't want to be without my Venen Engel anymore. My legs finally feel light."
The 28-day Venen Engel self-care program has shown that regular compression massage works when it is simple, soothing, and used consistently.
It can contribute to more ease and self-confidence in the long term for women with lipedema, those affected by lymphedema, or with tired legs and varicose vein issues.
In an interview with a participant
Awareness for body and mind
When we invited Janina Gierke for a conversation, it quickly became clear: She speaks from experience – and from the heart.
Janina is herself part of the lipedema community and is committed to raising awareness and understanding of the condition.
In this honest interview, she shares how the 28-day Venen Engel self-care program has changed her daily life – both physically and mentally. We were particularly touched by her statement:
💬 “So it is – the Venen Engel is for the body, but in my opinion, it is also truly for the mind.”
She reports how the regular application has reduced the tension in her calves, how she has maintained the routines from the program, and why she decided to use the Venen Engel permanently.
What did she particularly like?
The loving support, the helpful tips, and the strong community she experienced during the program – an experience that showed her how beneficial true self-care can be.
A beautiful interview about routine and the power of bringing body and mind into harmony.
Conclusion of the Venen Engel Selfcare Program
It became apparent how medical compression in the form of Venen Engel technology makes everyday life easier, enhances well-being, and reduces feelings of tension. When applied specifically, it can be a valuable component of modern lipedema and lymphedema therapy – and generally support the health of the lymphatic system effectively.
“So I also decided to keep the Engel... It takes away some of the pain... I don't want to be without it anymore.”
Particularly noteworthy is the emotional added value: For many of the participants, the application became a fixed self-care routine that promotes relief, calm, and self-confidence. A valuable me-time with enormously diverse benefits for body and soul, which we all indulge in far too little and yet need so much.
