Lymphatic Enhancement Technology (LET by Arcturus Star Products) is a non-invasive therapy designed to effectively reduce tissue congestion, improve microcirculation, and help with fluid management. In essence, it supports lymphatic health.
At the heart of L.E.T is the Lymphstar ProFusion, part of the American-made Lymphstar line. This device delivers a range of vibrational energies — including electrostatic current, low-frequency sound waves, and light therapy — to activate lymphatic capillaries, break down congested proteins in tissue, and promote the removal of metabolic waste.
With more lymphatic fluid in the body than blood, the lymphatic system plays a pivotal role in detoxification, immune response, and overall vitality. LET works by gently stimulating lymphatic flow, enhancing detoxification, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. This technology can increase lymph circulation up to 10 times more efficiently than manual lymphatic drainage alone.
The therapy device uses a unique blend of vibrational energies — including an electrostatic field, low-frequency sound waves, and electro-pressure fields — to break up stagnation, move excess fluid, and clear congested pathways. In addition to improving lymphatic function, LET activates meridians and acupuncture points, delivering a deeply calming and restorative experience. This enhancement method stimulates lymph flow, encourages detoxification, and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
The Lymphstar ProFusion Technology works through three main mechanisms:
Electrostatic Current – A safe, highly regulated electrostatic field. This is an electric current at extremely low amperage. This current activates the parasympathetic nervous system (turns off “fight or flight” response). It also ionizes the tissue, which causes waste that is collected and sitting in the soft tissue to break apart, move into the lymph system and is flushed out of the body.
Sound Waves – Frequencies and harmonics emitted from the device are between 0 and 1,000 hz. These frequencies resonate in the body with specific organs and tissues, helping to restore them to a balanced state. These sound waves also have a mechanical effect on the waste in the tissue, colliding it to also break it up.
Light Therapy – Near infrared, red LED, and blue light are also used. Near infrared and red light help to reduce inflammation, swelling. The blue light helps to balance the hormones in the body.

FAQs: What symptoms can LET relieve?
LET can help relieve:
- lymphedema /edema /swelling / tissue congestion
- fatigue
- chronic stress
- chronic symptoms from Lyme and/or other pathogenic factors
- autoimmune disorders
- hormone imbalances
- post-surgical swelling/scar tissue
- inflammation/chronic pain
- digestive issues
- weakened immune system
How to prepare for your treatment?
- Make sure you are well hydrated for 48-72 hours before your visit, and afterward. This will help to prevent any unpleasant side effects.
- Come freshly bathed that day. Please allow for bathing/showering to be complete at least an hour or two prior to treatment.
- No lotions, cream, makeup, or deodorant on the skin. It can be brought and put on after treatment is complete.
What to expect after your treatment?
The session itself is very gentle, delicate and relaxing. We are encouraging detoxification of tissue that may have years of waste and toxins built up. Some people will feel little current and some fluid movement. Some people may not feel anything during or after a treatment. That does not mean they did not get the benefits.
Post- Treatment common side effects:
- Post-nasal drainage
- Feeling the need to swallow.
- Feeling tired and or sleepy.
- Darker or more intense urine.
- More plentiful bowel movement.
- Jaw and clavicles more visible.
- Easier breathing if sinuses were congested.
- Brain fog reduction.
- Deep sleep the night of session.
Rare, but possible, side effects:
- Mild nausea
- Slight Headache
- Slight Dizziness
- Feeling flu-like symptoms
- Anxious (this is usually brief-during a session)
Why is the Lymph System important?
Our body contains more lymphatic fluid than blood. Yet the critical role the lymphatic system plays in preventing disease and keeping us healthy not often thought about as part of our circulatory system.
The lymph system is the body’s primary waste elimination system and functions as the body’s primary means of immune defense. It contains over 600 “collection sites” called lymph nodes and has a network of collection vessels more extensive than the blood system. The lymph node is an immune related organ, its role is as a filtration and purification station for lymph fluid and a place for disabling and destroying bacteria, toxins, viruses, parasites, fungus, etc.
As a circulatory system, optimal flow must be maintained within the lymphatic system. Unlike the blood, whose circulation is driven by the pumping of the heart, the lymph does not have its own pump. It is propelled by three means: the movement of muscles, the nerves which create subtle pulsations, and the fluid pressure within the system. Lymph fluid is cleansed by the liver, kidneys, and heart. Therefore, physical movement and deep breathing are vital to stimulate lymphatic drainage.
The lymph fluid contains lymphocytes, these guys are like the original “Pacman” as they go about their work gobbling up all the garbage in our bodies and expelling it through the lymph system. If the lymph system is congested, the lymphocytes can’t do their job and our bodies become a virtual junk yard.
If conditions lead to sluggish lymph flow, fluid can concentrate in specific areas causing edema/swelling, or impaired function along the entire lymph system (congestion). When this state of congestion is long lasting, blockages can form and cause a backup in the flow of lymphatic fluid. Consequently, cellular waste cannot effectively be released from the body as a whole or from specific areas such as injury sites and therefore the immune system may not function at its optimum.
A good analogy explaining this is whereas healthy lymph should be a thin fluid like milk, congested lymph becomes thickened and congealed more like cottage cheese.
What causes lymphatic congestion?
The causes of lymphatic congestion are poor lifestyle such as inactivity and improper diet, infections, injuries and surgery (scar tissue and adhesions), emotional stress states, environmental toxins, hormone imbalance, and the normal aging processes.
Blockages can occur from common life stressors such as…
- Insufficient diet and hydration
- Illness
- Lack of exercise
- Tight-fitting clothing, including ties, bras, underwire bras, underwear and pantyhose
- Bumps, bruises and other injuries
- Exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals
- Impaired circulation
- Food allergies or sensitivities
- Surgery
- Stress
What is LET and how does it work?
Lymphatic Enhancement Technology, L.E.T for short, is the decongestion of the lymphatic system using the Lymphstar Pro Fusion® (LPF) lymphatic therapy instrument. L.E.T enhances detoxification and health by improving lymphatic circulation up to 10 times faster than traditional manual lymphatic drainage.
The therapy unit emits a combination of vibrational energies (an electrostatic field, low frequency acoustic waves, and an electro-pressure field) which clear away randomly bonded proteins, excess fluid, and blockages in the lymphatic system. It also stimulates the meridians and acupuncture points of the body and is extremely relaxing to experience.
Healthy tissue contains proteins that are always in a state of alignment. This is most evident in the stable alignment of collagen in the connective tissue found throughout the body. When cells die or are damaged, these protein structures break down and are removed by the lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system is unable to fully remove these proteins blockage or congestion pathologies occur.
As these nonfunctional proteins bond in random, unaligned structures, this random alignment is called fibrotic condition of the interstitium (the area between living cells in the connective tissue). The instability of nonfunctional proteins causes them to attract and hold water by electrical bonding causing what is known as edema.
L.E.T creates separation in the randomly bonded proteins throughout the body by presenting a flood of electrons compatible with the random protein structures which cases them to release the water they are holding. Healthy tissue protein structures do not attract water and therefore are not affected by the energy presented by L.E.T.
