Body lymphatic · Facial lymphatic · Facial gua sha
01 · Body Lymphatic Massage

Gentle Full-Body Lymphatic Care

Choose this service when the arms, torso or legs feel puffy, tired or heavy. Tell us your priority areas and we will adjust the sequence and pressure.

01 · FACE

Puffy-Looking or Tired Face

For mornings, stressful weeks or long screen days when the face and jaw feel full, tense or tired.

Common focus: face, jawline, sides of neck and collarbone.

02 · BODY

Heavy or Sluggish Feeling

For days when the arms, torso or legs feel less comfortable, puffy or slow after sitting, travel or inactivity.

Common focus: neck, upper chest, abdomen, thighs and lower legs.

03 · STRESS

Easily Tired or Overstimulated

Slow rhythmic touch can create a quieter massage experience when stress, poor sleep or a busy schedule leaves you drained.

Common focus: neck, chest, abdomen, back and feet.

04 · WORK & TRAVEL

Compressed From Sitting

Long desk hours, studying, flights and driving can leave the neck, upper chest, hips and legs feeling tight together.

Common focus: neck and shoulders plus hips, thighs and calves.

These descriptions are wellness concerns, not medical diagnoses. New, sudden, painful or one-sided swelling should be medically evaluated before massage.

Choose Your Style

Gentle Flow or More Muscle Relief

Lymphatic massage does not have to feel exactly the same for every guest. We personalize the rhythm and pressure around your comfort.

01

Light Lymphatic Flow

Very gentle, slow and rhythmic. Best when the body feels sensitive, puffy or overstimulated.

02

Medium-Pressure Bodywork

Combines a calm lymphatic rhythm with moderate muscle relaxation through the back, shoulders, hips or legs.

03

Half Lymphatic + Half Pain Relief

Divide the session between gentle body flow and focused neck, shoulder or back massage. Best with 90 or 120 minutes.

All sessions are hands-on and machine-free. Strong pressure is not required for lymphatic-style work.

Questions Answered

Lymphatic & Facial Massage FAQs

Is this a medical detox treatment?

No. Avy Spa provides non-medical wellness massage. We do not diagnose fluid retention, treat lymphedema or claim to remove toxins. The goal is relaxation and a lighter, less puffy feeling.

Should I choose light or medium pressure?

Choose light work when the body feels sensitive or overstimulated. Choose medium-pressure bodywork when you also want muscle relaxation through the back, shoulders, hips or legs.

Can the therapist work on the front of the body?

Yes, when appropriate and only with your consent. The neck, collarbone, upper chest, abdomen and front of the thighs can be included with professional draping. You may skip any area.

Can I book half lymphatic massage and half pain relief?

Yes. We recommend 90 or 120 minutes so the therapist can keep a calm lymphatic rhythm and still give enough time to the neck, shoulders, back or another priority area.

What should I book when my face feels puffy?

Add Facial Lymphatic Relaxation for focused work around the face, jawline, neck and collarbone. Choose 90 or 120 minutes when you want both body and face work.

Can I add hot stone?

Yes. The $15 hot stone add-on can be integrated into the back or shoulder portion for warmth and muscle relaxation while the rest of the session remains gentle.

Is 60 minutes enough for full body?

Sixty minutes is best for one main focus or two connected small areas. Choose 90 or 120 minutes for more complete front-and-back body relaxation.

What is the difference between facial lymphatic massage and facial gua sha?

Facial lymphatic massage uses feather-light hand movements around the face, jawline, neck and collarbone. Facial gua sha uses a smooth tool with gentle strokes across the jaw, cheeks, temples and brow.

Which facial service should I choose?

Choose Facial Lymphatic Massage when puffiness or a heavy, tired feeling is your main concern. Choose Facial Gua Sha Massage when you prefer soothing tool work for jaw tension, screen fatigue and facial relaxation.
