Manual Lymphatic Drainage

What is it?

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is an advanced system of specific techniques. These gentle pumping like movements are applied to the skin (no oil is used) in the direction of the lymph to encourage the removal and filtering the toxins and excess fluids from cells as well as boosting the body’s natural immunity.

This treatment is mainly used for clearing the congestion, waste and fluid from the system and therefore helps with: fluid retention, oedema (swelling), cellulite, acne, headaches, migraines, respiratory congestion, tiredness which all result from poor lymphatic circulation. Also helps after a surgery (i.e. liposuction) with faster recovery, reducing appearance of scarring and bruising (for this you will need your GP consent).

Facial MLD works great in reducing congested face, tired or puffy eyes and prevents formation of wrinkles. Also very effective in reducing acne complections.

Regular treatments have great effect to your skin, leaving you looking younger, glowing and toned. It will also boost your metabolism, and you will feel invigorated with more energy to get on with your life.
