Lymphatic Massage

Service Description

A 30-minute full-body lymphatic drainage massage that uses light, rhythmic pressure to move stagnant lymph fluid toward drainage nodes — reducing puffiness, easing water retention, and supporting detoxification. Gentler than a traditional deep-tissue massage, but deeply restorative. Particularly popular for: • Post-operative recovery (especially after liposuction, tummy tuck or cosmetic surgery) • Post-flight bloat and travel-day swelling • Hormonal water retention • Chronic fatigue or sluggish digestion • Between intense workout sessions Performed by our trained therapists with medical-spa precision — no heavy kneading, no soreness, just lighter, less inflamed skin and a visibly more sculpted silhouette afterward. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT TO EXPECT Arrive 5 minutes early to change and flag any bloating, swelling, or tender spots. The massage uses light, rhythmic strokes along your lymph pathways — nothing like deep tissue. Sessions run 60 minutes, and you'll likely need the bathroom right after (that's a good sign). You'll leave feeling lighter, not worked over. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PREPARATION & AFTERCARE Before: Hydrate well the day before. Skip heavy meals 2 hours prior and no alcohol for 24 hours pre-session. After: Drink 2L of water through the day to flush what was mobilized. Skip intense workouts and saunas for 24 hours. Avoid salty takeout that evening — it undoes the work. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREQUENTLY ASKED Q: Does it hurt? A: No. Lymphatic is one of the gentlest things we do — pressure is barely firmer than a skincare application. Q: How often should I come? A: Weekly if you're tackling a specific issue (post-surgery, chronic puffiness), monthly for maintenance. Q: Will I see a difference right away? A: Usually yes — face and limbs look less puffy same day. The biggest visual shift lands 12–24 hours later. Q: Is this safe during pregnancy? A: Yes after the first trimester with OB clearance. Tell us before booking. Q: Can I book this the day of an event? A: Absolutely. Many clients book the morning of a shoot or wedding. Allow 3–4 hours for full deflate. Q: Any reason I shouldn't book? A: Active infection, recent cancer diagnosis without oncology clearance, acute DVT, or uncontrolled heart failure. When in doubt, check with your doctor first.
