Service Description

How does manual lymphatic drainage massage work MLD is a light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen limb. It should not be confused with a traditional massage. MLD is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. Lymphatic massage lipo helps to transfer the fluid by gently pushing it back into the lymph arteries, decreasing edema, fluid retention, and discomfort. Without lymphatic massage after lipo, inflammation can progress to fibrosis (permanent tissue hardening) or seroma (swelling) (pocket of serum).
