Gua Sha & Lymphatic Drainage
Smooth gua sha strokes release fascia along the neck, shoulders, or face, followed by lymphatic drainage to clear what was released. The facial version de-puffs, sculpts, and brightens — no downtime.
Best for · facial puffiness, neck & shoulder tension, skin health
90 min
Acupressure & Lymphatic Flow
Focused acupressure first unlocks deep-held tension along the body's meridian points; gentle lymphatic work then flushes the tissue and settles the nervous system. Release, then drain.
Best for · chronic tension with swelling, full-body reset

Lymphatic Massage, Answered
-
A specialized massage technique using very light, rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow, encouraging the body to move excess fluid toward the lymph nodes where it's naturally processed.
-
Yes. The lymph vessels sit just beneath the skin, so light pressure is the correct pressure. If it feels like deep tissue, it isn't lymphatic drainage.
-
It depends on your procedure. Most surgeons approve gentle lymphatic work between a few days and a few weeks after surgery. Bring your physician's guidance and we'll work carefully within it.
-
Post-surgery clients commonly book a short series — often four to eight sessions in the first weeks — then taper as swelling resolves. We'll suggest a plan at your first visit.
-
Yes — swelling relief is the most immediate result. Water retention massage of this kind is especially effective for the legs, ankles, and face, with most clients noticing a lighter feeling the same day.
-
Lymphatic drainage supports the body's own detoxification pathways — which is why it's often called a detox massage. The technique itself is clinical and precise, not a spa gimmick.
-
It's safe for most people, but not recommended with active infection, acute deep-vein conditions, or heart or kidney failure. If you have a medical condition, please check with your doctor first. -
