The lymphatic system contains fluid that helps to remove waste and toxins from body tissue. Lymphatic drainage massage is a massage technique to promote the movement of these lymph fluids around the body. It is essential for patients who have recently undergone surgery and are experiencing the resulting swelling from lymph fluid build-up. Lymphatic Drainage Massage can help you to see the best results in a short space of time.
Lymphatic drainage massage helps to remove fluid build-up and therefore swelling, it may reduce any scarring and contour irregularities, improving the appearance of both the skin and body shape after body treatments.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage

There are several benefits of lymphatic drainage massage:

• Promotes effective movement and removal of excess stagnant fluids, reducing subsequent swelling
• Improves blood circulation and tissue regeneration of the massaged area
• Minimises the appearance of cellulite by reducing fluid build-up against cross-hatched fibres underneath the skin
• Promotes relaxation of the body and mind
• Increases your overall health

Manual lymphatic drainage massage works by effectively removing stagnant fluids. It therefore helps to minimise the “puffy” appearance often associated with water retention, promoting the appearance of the body’s contours.
In addition, lymphatic drainage massage techniques help to increase blood circulation and tissue regeneration, improving the appearance of the skin. Lymphatic drainage massage is proven to minimise the appearance of cellulite by fluid build-up beneath the skin.

Lymphatic massage may be recommended after undergoing BodyTite™ procedure to promote healing and enhance the appearance of skin around the treatment area. Lymphatic massage can improve your body’s immunity after liposuction, enhance circulation, and result in smooth, glowing skin.

HOW IT WORKS
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and circulatory system. Composed of strategically located veins and lymph nodes, the lymphatic system collects and drains metabolic waste, oedema, toxins and water excess to protect our body from any harmful situation. By stimulating the lymph nodes and pushing the lymph fluid towards the heart, it will return into the blood stream, be filtered by the kidneys and go on to be flushed out through urination. During this process, water intake is essential.
The human body is made up of 60% water. 70% of that water is held outside of cells, waiting to be collected and drained out through our lymphatic system. That’s why it is so important to keep the flow moving.
