Lymphatic drainage massages in Houston help relieve swelling in your lymphatic system caused by a medical treatment such as liposuction surgery or an illness. The procedure involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help the lymph move to an area with a functional lymph vessel.
Deigni Plastic Surgery has thousands of success stories in helping patients achieve their physical and aesthetic goals. Our highly skilled Medspa team can leverage their vast experience and top-notch techniques to offer effective treatments for post-surgical patients with lymphatic system issues.
Lymphatic drainage, or manual lymphatic drainage, is a specialized kind of medical massage aimed at improving the flow of lymph fluid to reduce swelling. Typically, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and takes it back to your heart via the lymph nodes and vessels. If something disrupts this process, the lymph collects in your legs and arms, causing them to swell. During a lymphatic drainage treatment in Houston, a massage therapist professionally moves lymph from your tissues to the lymph nodes in order to ease the swelling.
A lymphatic drainage treatment is ideal for anyone with swollen lymph nodes, and swelling in the legs or any other part of the body. It can also benefit someone with sleep issues and fatigue. The massage is not painful, and helps promote lymph health and natural drainage.
Generally, lymphatic drainage massage is a safe treatment to relieve a number of issues. However, there are some conditions and circumstances where the treatment is not recommended. This includes:
For the best results, we may recommend you have treatment once per week or even twice per week. Regular treatment can benefit the health of the lymphatic system while providing a daily relaxation experience.
A lymphatic treatment helps restore movement in the lymph and ensure your lymph nodes are draining well again. Regular treatments can be quite beneficial for your long-term health. Here are a few reasons to schedule a lymphatic drainage treatment in Houston:
Our massage sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes. The exact duration of the treatment depends on your specific needs. If you have severe issues, several treatment sessions may be necessary before you see dramatic results.
There are usually no significant side effects with lymphatic drainage. However, a few patients may experience headaches, nausea, and fatigue after the treatment. If this happens, ask us about managing these side effects.
Lymphatic drainage is never painful and it uses pressure applied to critical areas to unblock the flow. Because soft pressure is constantly applied and increased slowly, the technique is entirely painless.
Lymphatic drainage massages are relaxing and do not require any post-treatment downtime. At Deigni Plastic Surgery, we are committed to providing all our patients with effective treatments that help flush out swelling and eliminate toxins, lactic acid, and muscle soreness.
