Lymphatic Drainage Massage

A lymphatic drainage massage can be a great way of achieving naturally beautiful skin.

 

Our lymphatic system is a vital part of our immune system, made up of all sorts of vessels, including a somewhat miracle fluid called a lymph. Travelling under our skin, this underrated - and quite simply, genius - fluid removes all sorts of bad stuff (think toxins, bacteria and excess water) from our body. A lymphatic drainage massage can help get this lymph flowing, unclogging pores and minimising puffy looking skin along the way.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT?

 

Lymphatic drainage massages have two methods: a manual hands-on massage or by using suction cups. Should you go for the second option, our therapist will place small glass applicators onto your skin to ever-so-gently lift it. At this stage, you’ll begin to feel light, circular movements as the cups work their magic. This deeply relaxing technique not only stimulates blood flow, but will help deliver oxygen and other essential nutrients to your skin.

The manual hands-on massage offers pretty much the same result, however some people choose this type of technique as it involves less pressure on the muscles. You’ll also find that it can stimulate the lymph nodes under your bone structure and provide immediate blockage relief.

 

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE BENEFITS

 

From your very first treatment you should be able to see visible results, so expect to feel a surge of excitement as you skip out of the treatment room with sparkly eyes, an even skin tone and a clear nose to boot. Plus, the great thing about a lymphatic drainage massage is it offers way more than just beauty benefits. Stimulating your lymphatic glands can kick start the removal of waste material, effectively cleaning the body and fighting off congestion and swelling where applied.
