Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Service Description

Lymph drainage massage (LDM) uses precise rhythm and pressure to open the initial lymphatics and stimulate lymph vessel contraction to reduce inflammation. LDM uses external massage strokes to move fluids out of the body tissues and into the lymphatic system. LDM stimulates the immune system because it helps move stagnation of fluids out of tissues and into the lymphatic vessels, where it is transported through the lymph nodes and purified by lymphocytes. LDM stimulates the lymphatic vessels to contract more frequently and make natural contractions more regular. In addition to improving fluid flow, LDM is very relaxing. The method’s slow, gentle, repetitive movements reduce the body’s “flight-or-fight response” to stress (the sympathetic nervous system) and stimulate the body’s parasympathetic reaction. LDM helps to put the body into a parasympathetic state, which slows the heart rate and breathing, relaxes muscles and allows organs to resume normal functioning. LDM can be performed after surgery to help remove inflammation, speed healing, and reduce scar tissue. HOWEVER, because of the risk of infection and blood clots, be sure to consult with your Doctor before your visit. Lymphatic Drainage for Liposuction Recovery The surgical effect of liposuction on the lymphatics is unique. Liposuction disrupts or destroys most lymphatic capillaries within the targeted adipose tissue. Fortunately, lymphatic damage from liposuction is not usually permanent; lymphatic capillaries regenerate within a few weeks to several months after being damaged by a liposuction cannula. We must help recreate the pathways and manually move the lymph to healthy areas. Lymphatic Drainage Therapy help you clear out lymphatic fluid and help re-educate your system for optimal function. BENEFITS OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE AFTER LIPOSUCTION: -Enhances circulation. -Improves lymph flow, which decrease swelling and edema. -Decrease bruising. -Prevent and decrease severity of fibrosis. -Decrease scaring. -Decrease pain. -Increase comfort and movement. -Better sleep. -Improved recovery time. -Eliminates toxins from the body including anesthesia and cellular debris. -Promotes the healing of incisions. -Carries white blood cells and proteins to the blood. -Improves overall results of liposuction surgery. -The skin and tissues are hydrated more efficiently, thus achieving a better appearance. We recommend you get your drainage tubes taken out before you come in for treatments.
