Lymphatic massage is a massage technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays an important role in our body, helping to remove toxins and excess fluid, as well as supporting the immune system. The goal of lymphatic massage is to stimulate metabolism, remove toxins, reduce swelling, and promote healthier skin and tissues.
Lymphatic massage is particularly recommended for those who:
- Want to detoxify: Lymphatic massage can help stimulate metabolism and remove toxins, contributing to detoxification.
- Want to achieve weight loss: Lymphatic massage can help remove excess fluid and toxins, as well as reduce cellulite, thereby promoting weight loss.
- Want to accelerate healing after surgery or injury: Lymphatic massage can aid in speeding up the healing process by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration.
- Need treatment for lymphedema and lipedema: These are conditions where the lymphatic system does not function properly, leading to swelling. Lymphatic massage can help alleviate these symptoms and improve quality of life.
Lymphatic massage is a cosmetic treatment aimed at "breaking down" fat cells and reducing cellulite. Lymphatic drainage, on the other hand, is a therapeutic treatment aimed at relieving symptoms of lymphatic and fat edema.
Lymphatic massage is not recommended for acute inflammatory processes, acute skin infections, areas suspected of thrombosis, recent heart attacks, pulmonary edema, acute heart failure, pregnancy, and untreated high blood pressure.
Lymphatic massage can help eliminate tissue lymphatic congestion, reduce edema, alleviate or eliminate tension pain, and promote wound and ulcer healing. Lymphatic massage can have several positive effects on the body, including toxin removal, reduced swelling, strengthened immune system, more elastic skin, support for weight loss, and pain relief. However, individual results may vary, and the effects of lymphatic massage depend on regular treatments and lifestyle factors.
Only qualified lymphatic therapists can perform proper lymphatic massage, as incorrectly performed treatment can worsen conditions and even cause thrombosis.
In our salon, we use the manual lymphatic drainage method learned from European masters, which has a specific system of grips and rhythms to help deliver lymph fluid into the lymphatic vessels and increase vessel contraction.
During the treatment, there is usually a consultation, assessment of the condition, personalized manual lymphatic massage, lifestyle advice, skincare advice, application of short-stretch bandages, and teaching of self-care.
The duration of each treatment usually varies between 45-60 minutes, depending on the area treated and the condition of the edema. Several sessions are usually required to achieve the desired results, usually on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The number of treatments needed to achieve the desired results may vary depending on individual circumstances and goals. Generally, lymphatic massage, such as for weight loss or post-surgery recovery, may require longer-term, regular treatments. The number of treatments usually lasts for at least a few weeks or months.
It is advisable to make some preparations before lymphatic massage to ensure that the treatment is effective and provides a pleasant experience. Here are some important preparations:
- Hydration: It is important to consume an adequate amount of water before and after the treatment, as hydration can help remove toxins released during the massage.
- Avoid heavy meals: Avoid heavy, saturated fat, and sugar-laden foods before the treatment, as these can make the massage and digestion more difficult.
Generally, lymphatic massage is a safe and comfortable procedure, but like any treatment, there are possible side effects and risks. It is important that the therapist is aware of your health condition to avoid possible complications.
Lymphatic massage can effectively reduce the extent of edema and improve the patient's overall comfort. Regular treatments often relieve tension and pain, as well as improve the condition of the skin. However, it is important to understand that results may vary individually, and maintaining regular treatment may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat tissue from certain parts of the body. Massage after the procedure can have several benefits during recovery:
- Reduction of edema: Edema (swelling) often occurs after liposuction. Massage can help alleviate this edema by stimulating lymphatic circulation and helping to remove fluid.
- Acceleration of the healing process: Massage can help speed up wound healing and improve the process of scarring in the treated areas.
- Pain relief: Pain, sensitivity, and swelling often occur after liposuction in the treated areas. Massage can alleviate these symptoms and help increase patient comfort.
- Improvement of skin condition: Massage can help improve the elasticity and texture of the skin in the treated areas, which can help reduce unevenness on the skin.
- Support for mental health: Liposuction can often come with emotional and psychological stress. Massage can support not only physical but also mental health during the post-treatment period, helping with relaxation and stress reduction.
Overall, massage helps with post-liposuction recovery, promoting faster and more comfortable healing. However, it is important to always consult with your doctor or surgeon before starting any massage therapy after liposuction to ensure that it is done at the right time and in the right way.
