The SOZO™ device is an advanced digital health tool that measures body composition and fluid levels using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) — a safe, painless technology that sends a low electrical current through the body.The scan takes less than 30 seconds, is completely non-invasive, and provides highly accurate data about cellular fluid balance, lean mass, and extracellular fluid — all key markers for detecting early signs of lymphoedema and tracking recovery after cancer treatment.
After cancer treatment — particularly breast, gynaecological, or melanoma surgeries that involve lymph-node removal or radiotherapy — patients are at risk of developing lymphoedema, a chronic condition that causes swelling and discomfort due to lymphatic fluid buildup.
Traditionally, swelling is only noticed once it’s visible or symptomatic — meaning lymphoedema is already present.
SOZO allows detection much earlier, often before symptoms appear, giving clinicians a vital window to intervene early.
1. Early identification of lymphoedema risk
SOZO can detect subtle fluid changes as small as 2–3%, weeks or months before physical swelling develops. This means Onccare clinicians can start compression or exercise-based interventions early, often preventing long-term complications.
2. Objective, trackable data
Each scan provides precise measurements that are saved to your record, allowing your therapist to track trends over time —for example, before and after surgery, during radiotherapy, or through rehabilitation.
3. Personalised treatment planning
The data helps our clinicians tailor care to your specific fluid patterns and body composition, ensuring more accurate compression garment fitting, exercise prescription, and manual therapy recommendations.
4. Fast, comfortable,and non-invasive
No needles, no radiation, and no discomfort — simply stand on the device and hold the hand grips for half a minute.
5. Integrates seamlessly into ongoing care
At Onccare, we use SOZO scans as part of initial assessments, regular monitoring schedules, and post-treatment follow-up — helping you and your care team stay ahead of changes that could impact your recovery.
At Onccare, we’re committed to evidence-based, technology-driven care.
We use SOZO because:
In short, SOZO helps us give our patients the best chance at long-term recovery and quality of life.
You may be offered SOZO monitoring at Onccare if you:
Your clinician will explain the process, review your results with you immediately after the scan, and adjust your care plan as needed.
If you’ve had surgery, radiotherapy, orare noticing subtle swelling or tightness, a SOZO assessment at Onccare can help identify lymphatic changes early — before they become a problem.

MLS® Laser Therapy (Multiwave Locked System) is an advanced form of photobiomodulation therapy — a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses carefully calibrated laser light to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing.At Onccare, MLS Laser Therapy is used as part of our integrated approach to oncology rehabilitation and lymphoedema care, helping patients recover more comfortably and effectively after cancer treatment.
MLS Laser Therapy delivers synchronised dual-wavelength laser energy deep into tissues.
These wavelengths (808 nm and 905 nm) work together to:
The result is a faster healing response, less pain, and improved mobility — all without heat, needles, or downtime.
At Onccare, we invest in technology that enhances recovery and comfort for our patients. MLS Laser Therapy has been clinically shown to support tissue healing and reduce discomfort associated with post-cancer care.
Key benefits for Onccare patients include:
1. Pain relief without medication
Reduces nerve sensitivity and inflammation, helping to manage chronic or post-surgical pain naturally.
2. Reduced swelling and inflammation
Promotes improved lymphatic drainage, making it a valuable adjunct to lymphoedema management.
3. Accelerated tissue healing
Encourages regeneration of soft tissue and scar tissue remodelling after surgery or radiotherapy.
4. Improved mobility and comfort
Many patients experience improved range of motion and a reduction in tissue tightness after several sessions.
5. Safe and gentle for sensitive tissues
The treatment is non-thermal, non-invasive, and comfortable — ideal for individuals recovering from cancer treatment.
At Onccare, MLS Laser Therapy may be recommended for:
Each treatment plan is personalised by your Onccare therapist to target your individual recovery goals and tissue response.
Onccare clinicians are experienced in oncology rehabilitation and lymphoedema management, ensuring MLS Laser Therapy is delivered safely and appropriately for cancer survivors.
We combine this therapy with manual lymphatic drainage, compression, exercise therapy, and patient education to maximise outcomes.
Clinical research supports MLS Laser Therapy for:
If you’re recovering from cancer treatment, surgery, or managing lymphoedema, MLSLaser Therapy at Onccare may help restore comfort, reduce pain, and speed up your recovery.
