Frequently Asked Questions
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. It supports your immune system, reduces inflammation, eases fluid retention, and promotes detoxification. It’s ideal for those recovering from illness, surgery, or simply seeking improved wellness and vitality.
Post-surgical lymphatic massage focuses on reducing swelling, bruising, and scar tissue after cosmetic or medical surgery (including liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, or orthopedic surgery). It helps speed up recovery, prevent complications like fibrosis, and improve surgical outcomes.
You don’t need to be recently post-op — some clients come for support weeks or months after surgery.
Not at all — MLD uses very light, precise touch. It’s designed to work with your lymphatic system, not against it. Most people find it deeply relaxing and often feel lighter, clearer, and calmer afterward.
Not necessarily. Many clients book MLD and therapeutic massage without a referral. However, if you’re recovering from surgery or managing a medical condition, it’s a good idea to let your healthcare provider know.
For most treatments, you’ll be comfortably draped and covered at all times. For lymphatic massage, you may be asked to wear light clothing or underwear depending on the areas being treated. We’ll always discuss your comfort and preferences beforehand.
This depends on your goals. A single session may help with general wellness, but ongoing sessions are best for long-term issues like swelling, chronic fatigue, or post-surgical recovery. The Release Reset Fusion treatment includes a recommended 4-session plan for deeper results.
If you’re experiencing cold or flu symptoms, or have a fever or infection, it’s best to reschedule. Massage and lymphatic treatments are most effective when your body is in a stable state.
