Get answers to common questions about Head, Neck, and Face Lymphatic Drainage.

A calm, gentle 30-minute session of light rhythmic strokes and subtle pressure focused on lymph pathways in the head, neck, and face. You'll feel relaxed, perhaps slight movement or drainage sensations, with immediate reduction in puffiness and improved facial comfort.

Generally yes for healthy clients, but it's contraindicated for active infections, blood clots, uncontrolled heart conditions, or certain cancers. Always disclose medical history and medications during booking; our therapists perform consultations and may obtain physician clearance when necessary.

For acute swelling or post-procedure care, an initial series of 2–3 sessions spaced a few days apart is common. For maintenance, monthly treatments are effective. Your therapist will personalize frequency based on goals, response, and any underlying conditions.

Post-surgical lymphatic drainage can aid healing and reduce swelling, but timing is crucial. Always follow your surgeon’s clearance; we typically wait until incisions are stable and the surgeon permits manual therapy, then start with gentle sessions.

Arrive clean-faced and hydrated. Avoid heavy makeup, tight jewelry, or bulky hairstyles. Bring recent medical information and a list of medications. Hydration after the session helps the lymphatic system flush waste efficiently.

Side effects are minimal: temporary fatigue, mild headache, or slight increased urination may occur as fluid shifts. These typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours; contact us if symptoms worsen or persist beyond a few days.
