Our Lymphatic Specialties

Because “Lymphatic Massage” is a broad and varied genre. Which type is best for you?

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) / Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage

    Post-operative lymphatic care is performed with advanced training and careful assessment. After cosmetic surgery such as liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, or facial procedures, lymphatic massage can assist with:

    • Managing swelling

    • Reducing fibrosis risk

    • Supporting smoother healing

    • Improving comfort during recovery

    All sessions are customized based on surgical timeline and physician guidelines. MLD sessions are slow, methodical, and therapeutic — not deep tissue massage. Pressure remains light to avoid collapsing delicate lymphatic vessels.

  • Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a more dynamic technique that combines lymphatic stimulation with sculpting movements to visibly reduce fluid retention and enhance natural body contour.

Clients often notice:

  • Reduced bloating

  • Improved waist definition

  • Less puffiness in the abdomen and face

  • A lighter overall feeling

This technique is popular before events, photoshoots, travel, and during periods of hormonal fluctuation.


What Is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle manual therapy technique designed to stimulate the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system plays a critical role in immune function, detoxification, and fluid balance. When it becomes sluggish — due to surgery, stress, inflammation, injury, hormonal shifts, or sedentary lifestyle — fluid retention and swelling occur.

Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic drainage uses very light pressure and specific directional strokes to encourage fluid movement toward healthy lymph nodes, supporting the body’s natural filtration process.

Who Benefits from Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic massage can (probably) help you if you are experiencing:

  • Post-surgical swelling (cosmetic or medical procedures)

  • Facial or abdominal puffiness

  • Inflammation and fluid retention

  • Hormonal bloating

  • Chronic stress and immune burden

  • Post-travel swelling

  • Recovery from illness

  • General sluggishness or heaviness

What to Expect During Your Session?

Your first appointment includes:

  1. A brief health intake review

  2. Assessment of swelling patterns

  3. Discussion of goals (recovery, sculpting, inflammation reduction, etc.)

  4. Customized lymphatic treatment

Most post-op sessions last 60ish minutes depending on your needs, and body contouring sessions are 90 minutes.

You may notice increased urination, reduced swelling, improved comfort, and a lighter sensation in the hours following treatment.

Is Lymphatic Drainage Safe?

Lymphatic massage is generally safe for healthy individuals. However, it may not be appropriate for certain medical conditions such as acute infection, active blood clots, unmanaged heart conditions, or certain cancers.

If you have complex medical concerns, clearance from your physician may be required before treatment.
