What Is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage is a specialized, rhythmic technique that supports the body’s detoxification process. By encouraging lymph flow — the body’s natural cleansing system — this treatment helps release excess fluid, reduce puffiness, and stimulate circulation for a visibly smoother, more refined silhouette. This non-invasive skin rejuvenation therapy is performed using the Oxylight Machine, utilizing advanced technology with a vacuum suction handpiece, manually moving lymphatic fluid through the body, promoting circulation and the removal of toxins. It also uses Radio Frequency, also known as RF skin tightening, which is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radio frequency energy to heat the skin and stimulate collagen production. The heat from the RF energy helps reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, improving the skin's overall tone and texture to enhance skin health and appearance.  

Our estheticians use expert touch and contouring techniques using our Oxylight Machine that both sculpt and restore. Each treatment may be tailored with advanced modalities such as cupping, microcurrent, or Biologique Recherche body serums to amplify results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lymphatic drainage and how does it work?

Symphatic drainage body sculpting is a specialized technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, the body’s natural detox network. Through light pressure and rhythmic motions, this gentle manual lymphatic drainage helps move lymph fluid through the lymph vessels and toward the lymph nodes, where toxins and waste are filtered. It’s ideal for those seeking detoxification, stress relief, and improved overall wellness.

How is lymphatic drainage different from deep tissue massage?

While deep tissue massage targets muscles to release tension, lymphatic drainage body sculpting uses soft, directional movements that focus on lymph flow rather than deep pressure. The goal is to reduce inflammation, eliminate toxins, and support circulation without discomfort — promoting both relaxation and healing. Many clients find this gentle technique enhances balance, reduces swelling, and complements other wellness rituals for the body and skin.

Is lymphatic drainage good after surgery or for lymphedema?

Yes. Post-surgery and post-op recovery often benefit from lymphatic drainage techniques, which can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and ease discomfort while aiding healing. For those managing lymphedema, gentle lymphatic drainage can help promote lymph flow and maintain balance in the lymphatic system. Always consult your doctor or therapist to determine the right timing and frequency of treatments for your needs.

What can I expect during a lymphatic drainage session?

Slow, wave-like movements that follow the body’s natural lymph flow. The technique involves light pressure designed to stimulate lymphatic vessels and encourage drainage. The experience feels deeply relaxing, almost meditative, many clients say it helps them relax, detoxify, and feel lighter immediately. Each treatment is personalized to your body’s rhythm, ensuring the best results for your wellness and beauty goals.

How many lymphatic drainage treatments do I need for best results?

Results vary by client and wellness goals. Some notice visible contouring and reduced inflammation after one treatment, while others benefit from a short series of sessions for optimal detox and recovery. Regular treatments help maintain circulation, enhance immune support, and sustain long-term skin health and body balance.
