LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD)
Lymphatic massage is a specialized technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system to promote the natural drainage of lymph fluid, which helps reduce water retention, swelling, and toxins from the body.
It is especially beneficial for cancer patients and individuals recovering from injury and surgery, as it can reduce post-operative swelling and improve circulation, aiding in faster healing and minimizing the risk of complications such as lymphedema.
Additionally, lymphatic massage is also used for aesthetic purposes, such as reducing bloating and water retention.
*Please Note: This is a traditional lymphatic drainage treatment—not to be confused with body sculpting or Brazilian lymphatic massage techniques.
Post-Operative Lymphatic Massage
Support your body’s natural healing after surgery.
Post-operative lymphatic massage is designed to support the body’s natural healing process following cosmetic or surgical procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), or other body contouring. These surgeries often disrupt the lymphatic system, leading to fluid retention, swelling, inflammation, and discomfort.
Performed with care and tailored to your individual stage of healing, this treatment supports a smoother recovery and enhances surgical results. It is important to follow your surgeon’s guidance and receive medical clearance before beginning sessions.
Many clients find lymphatic massage to be a nurturing part of their healing journey, helping them feel more comfortable and supported.

Post-operative lymphatic drainage requires gentle, precise techniques tailored to support your body’s healing after surgery. To effectively reduce swelling, promote fluid drainage, and assist tissue recovery, sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your specific needs and stage of healing.
Early in your recovery, shorter sessions around 30 to 45 minutes may be recommended to accommodate sensitivity and tolerance. As healing progresses and your comfort increases, sessions may extend to 45 to 60 minutes to provide comprehensive care across affected areas.
Your sessions duration will be customized based on your unique condition, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience that supports optimal healing.

Because lymphatic drainage uses gentle, slow, and precise movements to encourage lymph flow, the treatment requires adequate time to be fully effective and deeply relaxing.
For a comprehensive full-body session—including legs, arms, back, stomach, and face—we recommend booking 90 minutes or more to ensure all areas receive focused attention and benefit from the technique.
If you’re interested in targeting specific areas, such as just the face and stomach, a 75-minute session is ideal to address those zones thoroughly while allowing time for careful, soothing work.
These durations support a deeply calming experience while maximizing the subtle but noticeable results of improved circulation, reduced puffiness, and enhanced skin tone.
-
Typical Booking Frequency for Aesthetic Purposes:
Initial phase:
Many clients start with 1–2 sessions per week for 3 to 4 weeks to experience noticeable improvements like reduced puffiness and a refreshed appearance.Maintenance phase:
After initial results, sessions can be spaced out to once every 2 to 4 weeks to maintain the benefits.Special occasions:
Some clients book a session before important events (weddings, photoshoots, travel) for temporary decongestion and a radiant glow.
