Lymphatic Drainage

The health benefits of a facial lymphatic drainage

a lymphatic massage consists of applying gentle pressure and strokes to enhance the stream of lymph. Using palms and fingers in circular and linear movements, the skin is stretched in certain directions, following the trail of lymph vessels. The gentle pushing relieves potential hurdles in the way of lymph flow.

This massage removes sluggish circulation, eliminates puffiness and edema, and tightens up the facial features. here are the four major benefits of a facial lymph massage:

• promotes healing: a massage enhances the circulation of lymph around the body. When traveling within tissues, the lymph dislodges and flushes toxic wastes from cells, driving it to the lymph nodes where the toxins are disposed of. By removing toxins from the skin cells the inflammation resolves, oxygen and nutrients delivery improve, and boosting skin regenerative ability ensues.
• Reducing puffiness and bloat: edema and swelling of the face give a botched appearance, one that accentuates face lines and makes you look tired. Unlike other skin problems, a swell cannot be corrected with a cream or a mask. The most efficient treatment is a face massage that will freshen up your skin and lift the tired expressions. Your facialist will first apply gentle pressure to disperse the edema within a wide area. The excessive fluid will be then driven into draining passages. Pumping movements aligned with lymph vessels will flush the toxins and accumulated fluids into the lymph nodes where they are removed.
• Deep cleanse: when the massage is carried in conjunction with topical cleaning and exfoliating products, the lymph massage becomes a potent skin cleaning asset. Dead cells and pollutants will be removed from both the skin surface by the exfoliating products and the inner layer by the enhanced blood circulation.
• Relaxation and wellbeing: the delight of a good massage reaches beyond the physical benefits. It is a stress and anxiety-relieving asset. The rhythmic soft pressure evicts the long accumulating muscle tension.
