Lymphatic Drainage & Post Op Massage
Also known as: Lymphatic flush, detox, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)
What is the purpose of Lymphatic Drainage Massage? Well, nestled beneath the surface of your skin lies a complex network of vessels and organs, silently working overtime to keep you healthy. This unsung hero is the lymphatic system, responsible for eliminating waste, fighting infection, and maintaining fluid balance. While often overlooked, a sluggish lymphatic system can contribute to various health concerns. A lymphatic flush (or detox) — a gentle technique designed to stimulate lymph flow — corrects that.
What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Also known as lymphatic detox or flush (and commonly MLD), this specialized therapeutic modality uses light, rhythmic strokes to guide lymph fluid toward lymph nodes, where it filters and re-enters the bloodstream. Unlike deep tissue massage, MLD avoids direct pressure on lymph nodes, focusing on stimulating specific pathways for optimal drainage. It is, in one word, soothing.
Everything is going well with lymphatic drainage massage, but what about massage after cosmetic surgery? At Area Massage Spa we combine post-operative serous fluid release massage techniques and lymphatic drainage massage, individualizing the session for each day after your cosmetic surgery, recognizing that physiologically your body behaves differently every minute that healing takes place. We know that you think how painful it must be to receive a massage after undergoing cosmetic surgery, we want to give you some good news! At Area Massage Spa, pain should not be a concern for you. With our manual technique, you will experience relief and comfort while your body is treated with care for at least ten continuous days, following the principles of the Law of Threshold, which indicates that stimuli should be applied according to the capacity of each subject. Our philosophy in the postoperative phase is: A quality massage and a continuous massage for 10 days – at least – will make you gain a quick recovery and you will pay less money.
**Always consult your doctor before adding any new therapy to your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
