Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Face and Neck

Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Face and Neck

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet highly effective treatment designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce fluid retention, and promote overall skin and body health. This specialised massage technique uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage lymph flow, aiding in detoxification, reducing puffiness, and enhancing circulation. To further support this process, I incorporate the Cecily Braden Lymphatic Brush - a cleverly designed and wonderfully effective tool that clears pathways susceptible to congestion and stagnation, enhancing the skin's natural ability to eliminate waste and revitalise tissue. This treatment is particularly beneficial for pre- and post-surgery, reducing inflammation and congestion, and is a favourite among those seeking a naturally lifted, radiant complexion.

Developed by Dr. Vodder in the 1930s, the Vodder method of MLD is widely recognised for its precise, non-invasive approach. By using specific stretching and scooping motions on the skin, this technique helps to decongest lymph nodes and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing deep relaxation. MLD also supports the immune, circulatory, and digestive systems.

Your treatment begins with a gentle cleansing of the face and neck using soothing massage techniques, followed by the warmth of gemstone mushrooms or a heated Thai herbal poultice to ease tension, enhance circulation, and prepare the skin for the treatment ahead. The MLD itself is performed on dry skin, using delicate, rhythmic strokes to guide lymph fluid toward the lymph nodes. During the session, I introduce the lymphatic brush, which works in harmony with manual techniques to increase tissue mobility and promote deeper cellular renewal. This naturally clears accumulation and supports the essential exchange of nutrients and waste removal in the tissue.

This treatment detoxifies the skin while calming the nervous system, leaving you feeling light, refreshed, and deeply relaxed. At the end of the treatment, your skin is further nourished with one of my facial oils, leaving it balanced and hydrated.

While noticeable results can be seen after just one session, a series of treatments is recommended for long-term benefits.
