Mechanical Lymphatic Drainage

A Powerful Solution for Swelling and Detoxification

Mechanical lymphatic drainage is a highly effective massaging technique designed to address congestion in the lymphatic system. This treatment stimulates the body’s natural removal of waste substances by targeting the legs, arms, and upper body through rhythmic, machine-guided massages.

By enhancing lymphatic flow, mechanical lymphatic drainage not only reduces swelling but also supports faster removal of destroyed fat cells after treatments like cryolipolysis or RF body shaping.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s health by transporting nutrients and waste products between cells. It also carries bacteria to the lymph nodes, where they are filtered and removed. While the circulatory system moves blood, the lymphatic system circulates up to 8 liters of lymphatic fluid, making it an essential part of your body’s detoxification process. 

During a mechanical lymphatic drainage session, air pressure chambers gently perform rhythmic massage movements on the skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue. These targeted pressure points stimulate the lymphatic vessels, promoting the flow of lymphatic fluid and aiding in the elimination of toxins and excess fluids. By encouraging this natural drainage process, mechanical lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, combat fluid retention, and enhance your overall well-being. 

After just one treatment, you’ll notice a reduction in swelling and a lighter, more refreshed feeling in the treated areas. The results can be particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from body contouring treatments or those suffering from lymphedema, swelling, or fluid retention.

Before and After Care for Mechanical Lymphatic Drainage

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before your session to help support your lymphatic system and enhance the detoxification process.
  • Avoid Heavy Meals and Alcohol: Try to avoid consuming heavy meals or alcohol at least 24 hours before your appointment, as these can interfere with the lymphatic system’s ability to function optimally.
  • Loose Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your session for easy access to the areas being treated.
  • Continue Hydration: After the treatment, continue to drink water throughout the day to flush out the toxins and support the removal of waste substances from your body.
  • Light Exercise: Engage in gentle physical activity, such as walking or yoga, to further stimulate lymphatic flow.
  • Avoid Tight Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothes after the session to avoid restricting lymphatic flow and to maintain optimal circulation.
  • Avoid Heat and Saunas: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, or intense heat exposure for 24 hours post-treatment, as this can cause dehydration and strain on the lymphatic system.

Contraindications for Mechanical Lymphatic Drainage

While mechanical lymphatic drainage is generally safe and effective, certain conditions may prevent you from undergoing this treatment. Please consult with your aesthetician if any of the following apply to you.

At our studios, Mechanical Lymphatic Drainage is performed by trained experts who ensure a safe and effective treatment.

  • Pregnancy: It is advisable to avoid mechanical lymphatic drainage during pregnancy unless specifically recommended by your doctor.
  • Active Infections or Inflammation: If you have an active infection, inflammation, or an acute illness, it is best to wait until you are fully recovered before undergoing this treatment.
  • Heart or Kidney Conditions: Individuals with severe heart conditions, kidney failure, or other organ-related issues should avoid mechanical lymphatic drainage, as it may place unnecessary stress on these organs.
  • Blood Clots or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Those with a history of blood clots or DVT should consult their doctor before undergoing mechanical lymphatic drainage, as the massage movements may dislodge clots.
  • Severe Lymphedema: In cases of severe or advanced lymphedema, consult a healthcare professional before receiving treatment to ensure it is safe and effective for your condition.
