Lymphatic drainage is a body massage that stimulates blood and lymph circulation. You can perform drainage when you want to firm the skin, get rid of cellulite, eliminate swelling, and relieve sinus pain. Lymphatic massage is performed in professional massage salons or in aesthetic medicine and biological regeneration offices.
Lymphatic drainage is based on pressing and rubbing the skin through the use of specific techniques and specialized movements to push the accumulated lymph, and thus eliminate swelling and improve lymph circulation. Thanks to this massage, the face becomes more radiant and takes on a more delicate shape. Swelling, even congestive and inflammatory, fade away. Toxins are removed from skin cells and lymph circulation is much more efficient.
Lymphatic massage of the face and its surroundings is a pleasant treatment that effectively affects the entire body. Movements follow established rules that interact with the flow of lymph in the lymphatic system and blood in the venous system. The physiological flow of the lymph requires a slow but firm pace of massage, avoiding excessive heating of the tissues. Most of the lymphatic vessels that are affected during the treatment are located just under the skin, so the massage is performed with moderate force.
The massage can be performed manually, by a professional masseur or with the use of a sequential pressure massage machine. You do not massage the lymph nodes, but their area, with moving, pushing and squeezing movements – always along the lymphatic vessels or towards the nearest lymph nodes.
