What Happens During the Treatment?

The treatment will begin with your skin being cleansed and toned. I will then apply a blend of natural oils to the facial area and proceed with the facial massage, paying special attention to areas (such as the jaw) that need relaxing. Once the facial area is complete, a mask will be applied and I will move onto the neck and head and scalp area. Once the massage treatment is complete, a blend of prescriptive serums and moisturisers will be applied to ensure your skin looks and feels incredible. This is also the perfect treatment to give as a gift.

Please note: I will remain quiet (except for to check in), the lights will be dimmed and a choice of relaxing spa music or a guided meditation will be played. If these options do not suit you are welcome for the lights to remain at full brightness and the radio to be played.

What if I have trouble relaxing?

There is no pressure to relax at all. If you would like to chat whilst the treatment is going ahead, please feel free. You are also free to bring your own music or listen to an audiobook/ podcast. Not everyone’s way of relaxing is the same and every treatment is tailored to the individual.

After treatment

An uncommon side effect from treatment is you may feel a little light headed or have a slight headache as the toxins under the skins surface have been moved around. Please drink plenty of water to aid in the toxin elimination process and avoid stimulants such as caffeine for the rest of the day. Treated areas may be a little sore for 24-48 hours especially if pressure was needed to loosen the treated muscles.

What is the main function of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?

Your lymphatic system is a fundamental part of the immune system. Your lymphatic system is in charge of collecting and eliminating the excess fluid, toxins and waste of your body. Using a network of hundreds of lymph nodes, it drains the lymph (a fluid that carries the waste and toxins, but also white cells). Then, the lymph returns to your bloodstream to be eliminated.

When there’s any kind of obstruction in your lymphatic system, fluid starts to build up. But don´t worry, the functions of your lymphatic system can be improved with MLD!

What is facial lymphatic drainage (FLD)?

Facial lymphatic drainage is a type of massage. It uses softer and slower pumping movements. The soft pressures are directed towards the lymph nodes to eliminate toxins, fluids and waste naturally.

First, the lymph is moved from the face down to the deep lymph nodes of the neck. Then, it is drained to the thoracic area.
