Your National Destination for Lipoedema Excellence

Finding the right medical care for lipoedema often feels like a long, uphill struggle. We frequently hear from women who have spent years being misunderstood by GPs, turned away by the NHS due to lack of local funding, or told they aren’t advanced enough to qualify for help despite knowing this is a progressive disease.

While we are located in the heart of Devon, our reputation means that patients regularly travel to us from across the UK. We have designed our patient journey to support this: from our online self-tests to our hospital-grade overnight facilities, we ensure your trip to Devon is a seamless, life-changing step toward the expert care you deserve.

At Wood MediSpa, we offer the most comprehensive approach to lipoedema care in the UK. Our expertise spans early-stage lipoedema diagnosis and management, surgical solutions, post-liposuction skin retightening surgery, and long-term health management. Everything you need for exceptional care is available at Wood MediSpa. Use the navigation grid below to find out more.

Travelling to Wood MediSpa: Your Journey Toward Specialist Lipoedema Care

We understand that seeking specialist lipoedema surgery often requires travelling beyond your local area to find the highest standard of consultant-led care. Our Devon-based Centre of Excellence is a dedicated sanctuary for patients from across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Distance should never be a barrier to life-changing results. We have designed a bespoke National Patient Pathway to support you every step of the way – from your first virtual Self-Test to your final recovery.

  • Travelling from London & the South East: Many patients enjoy a relaxing 2.5-hour direct rail journey from London Paddington to Exeter St Davids. Opt for a taxi or take the train to our local Okehampton station.
  • Access from the Midlands & Northern England: With direct M5 motorway links and rail services from Birmingham New Street, our clinic is a straightforward destination for patients in Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham.
  • South Wales & The West: We are the primary specialist hub for Cardiff, Swansea, and Bristol, offering a tranquil alternative to city-centre clinical environments.
  • Scotland & Ireland Fly-In Service: For those flying from Belfast, Dublin, or Glasgow, we are just a short transfer from Exeter Airport.

A Place to Recover

You will stay with us overnight for one or two nights, but some of our national patients choose to extend their stay in Devon after surgery. We provide a curated list of quiet, accessible local hotels in the surrounding countryside, ensuring you are rested and clinically cleared before your journey home to Scotland, Wales, or the North. Alternatively, you can extend your stay with us at Wood MediSpa either in our ward or at the Lodge House.
