SKIN ISSUES:

Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps with skin issues such as Acne, Rosacea and Eczema and it is also used in anti-aging.

SURGERY 

Plastic Surgery, C-Section, delivery, Post-Op Surgery and Torn Meniscus

is amazing for pre- and post-op. Recovery after surgery usually takes 9-12 months to completely heal after surgery but with a series of Lymphatic treatments it can reduce recovery periods to as little as 6 weeks to 3 months.

 Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps with:

• Bruising reduction. Cells transported by the lymph system are moved away 10 times faster with MLD. Bruises heal in a fraction of the time, allowing clients the ability to resume activities of daily living, without having to wear sunglasses for months to hide bruises.
• Edema reduction. MLD reroutes lymph fluid to collateral and viable pathways untouched by surgery to allow for accelerated drainage, as opposed to the slow trickle of tissue fluids in the operative site.
• Pain management. As pressure of lymph fluid decreases around nerves, pain and discomfort are relieved and require less pain medication.
• Scar-tissue prevention and fibrosis reduction. Lymph fluid left to build up below incisions or sitting in interstitial space can solidify, causing the formation of scar tissue and fibrotic tissue. These tissues are often felt as ball-like substances below the skin surface. MLD prevents lymph fluid buildup and solidification, for a seamless scar.
• Infection prevention. Postsurgical MLD is important when considering that stagnating lymph fluid can become infectious material and warrant artificial drain insertion—which is painful, costly and time consuming.

Recommended treatments for optimal results is 3-5 pre -op and 3-5 post-op
