Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to flush out toxins and reduce swelling. It is widely recommended after cosmetic surgery, for fluid retention and cellulite, and during pregnancy. A session lasts 50 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The therapist applies rhythmic, feather-light strokes that follow the direction of lymphatic flow.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions are needed?

For visible results, a minimum of 10 sessions twice a week is recommended. For maintenance, one session every week or every other week is enough.

Does lymphatic drainage hurt?

No. It is an extremely gentle technique, with slow, light movements. The pressure applied is minimal — you should feel relaxation, not pain.

Can I have it during my period?

Yes, it is allowed and can even help relieve bloating and cramps. Let your therapist know so she can adapt the session if needed.

What is the difference between cosmetic and post-operative drainage?

Cosmetic drainage focuses on beauty goals (reducing measurements, cellulite). Post-operative drainage follows a specific protocol for healing and recovery — it should be performed only by a professional with specialized training and with medical clearance.
