Vacumed and Dermio Plus are two advanced wellness devices offered at WHOLE Health & Wellness Lab in Plettenberg Bay. They fit into a doctor-led approach to recovery, vitality and relaxation—supporting long-stay visitors and local clients who want to feel their best while enjoying the Garden Route.
Why WHOLE Includes Device-Based Support
Wellness technology is not a replacement for medical care or lifestyle. At WHOLE, devices such as Vacumed and Dermio Plus are used as part of a broader, doctor-led approach. They complement IV therapy, holistic consultations and aesthetics—offering additional tools for recovery, vitality and restorative support.
The goal is to support your whole health. Device-based sessions can help you recover from travel, ease tension, support circulation and create space for relaxation during your stay.
Vacumed
Vacumed uses vacuum technology to support circulation, lymphatic flow and tissue recovery. The treatment is non-invasive and can help with post-travel recovery, muscle tension and a general sense of vitality. Many long-stay visitors appreciate Vacumed as a way to support their body while they adjust to a new rhythm in Plettenberg Bay. Learn more about Vacumed.
Dermio Plus
Dermio Plus is a negative ion hood that delivers negative ions to support relaxation, mood and recovery. Negative ions are naturally present in environments such as forests, waterfalls and ocean air—and Dermio Plus brings that experience into a controlled session. It can be a valuable addition for those seeking deeper relaxation or stress relief. Learn more about Dermio Plus.
Why Plettenberg Bay Is a Good Place
Plettenberg Bay and the Garden Route offer an ideal setting for wellness. Plett combines natural beauty, outdoor living and access to doctor-led care. Device-based support fits naturally into a stay where you are already prioritising recovery, movement and a slower pace.
When Device-Based Support May Make Sense
Vacumed and Dermio Plus may be a good fit if you are:
- recovering from long-haul travel and want additional support beyond IV therapy
- seeking vitality and relaxation as part of a holistic approach
- building a 30-, 60- or 90-day wellness plan for your stay
A consultation helps determine whether these devices fit your goals and how they might integrate with other support you are receiving.
