Lymphatic Drainage
What Is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a specialized massage technique designed to stimulate the circulation of lymph fluid throughout the body. It enhances the efficiency of the lymphatic system, helping to reduce fluid retention (edema), eliminate toxins, and support immune function. It is particularly beneficial after aesthetic surgeries to accelerate the healing process.
Function and Importance of the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system collects excess fluid and waste from tissues, transports immune cells, and protects the body from infections. When this system functions slowly, it may lead to swelling, fatigue, and toxin accumulation. Lymphatic drainage improves this circulation and has a positive effect on overall health.
How Is Lymphatic Drainage Performed?
Lymphatic drainage can be done manually or using a device. Manual drainage involves gentle, rhythmic strokes over lymph nodes and pathways. Device-assisted drainage uses air pressure through compression sleeves. Both methods must be performed by trained professionals.
Main Areas of Use
- Post-aesthetic surgery recovery
- Reduction of edema and swelling
- Improvement in the appearance of cellulite
- Support of immune system function
Who Is It Suitable For?
Lymphatic drainage is suitable for people who experience postpartum swelling, stand for long periods, have undergone aesthetic surgery, lead a sedentary lifestyle, or have poor lymph circulation. However, it should be avoided in individuals with active infections, cancer, heart failure, or clotting disorders.
Frequency and Number of Sessions
For noticeable results, 1–2 sessions per week are generally recommended. The total number of sessions depends on individual needs and goals. Post-surgical cases may benefit from 5–10 regular sessions.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage
It helps reduce swelling by supporting circulation, improves skin quality, and creates a sense of lightness in the body. It also activates the immune system and promotes natural detoxification. 📌
