🧪 New Insights into Lipedema Science. What Researchers Are Finding.
Recent scientific work is helping us understand what makes lipedema biologically unique, beyond being more than “just extra fat.” This image by the Cleveland Clinic illustrates the progression of lipedema in the legs.

📌 A 2025 peer-reviewed review shows that lipedema tissue has distinct cellular markers not seen in regular obesity, including a specific type of immune cell (M2 macrophages) and unique patterns of swelling and fibrosis (scarring within fat tissue). These features may contribute to pain and progression of the condition.

💡 This research highlights that lipedema is:
✨ biologically distinct from obesity
✨ marked by different inflammatory and structural fat tissue processes
✨ influenced by hormonal and cellular changes that we’re still learning about.

📊 While we still need standardized diagnostic tests and targeted treatments, studies like this are bringing us closer to understanding mechanisms behind pain, tissue changes, and disease progression.

Hi! I am Nicole Lehr, Licensed Holistic Master Aesthetician and Nail Technician with Integrative Aesthetics, Williamsburg. I am also the owner of Purity Spa & Wellness. Which is transitioning to a collective of likeminded therapists sharing space. A Wellness Collective.

I began my career in the spa industry in 1999 after completing a Nail Technician Apprenticeship locally. I began my Esthetics career in 2004 after attending a holistic based esthetics school in Newport News, VA, I fell in love with the wholistic approach to skincare, specifically facial massage. Being a forever learner, I have continued my education, building my craft, pursuing holistic based facial massage modalities. Taking a whole-body approach when it comes to your skin health. Specializing in TMJ, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and facial tension release.

I hold certifications in the following modalities…Facial Cupping, Facial Gua Sha, Facial Thai Poultice, Manual Lymphatic Drainage-The Dr. Vodder method for the face & neck as well as Connective Tissue Massage.

I love integrating advanced facial treatments such as Chemical Peels, Micro-channeling, Microcurrent and Dermaplaning with a holistic intentional twist. All while protecting the integrity of the skin.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews like this make my heart so happy❤️. Purity is currently transitioning to a new business structure…As of January 1st, 2026 we will officially be a collective space of like minded therapists. Everyone will be their own business. Which did unfortunately result in a large turnover this past summer. With that behind us, we have added a couple of new faces to our collective. Knowing that no matter whose hands our clients are in, they will be and will feel taken care of.
To me, that means I have done my job as a business owner. Thank you for sharing your opinions. It means so much.
Thank you,
Nicole ❤️
