2 exciting benefits of lymphatic massage

Lymphatic massage uses less than one ounce per square centimeter of pressure on the body at any given time to effectively improve a number of functions in the body and active the flow of lymph — it’s that powerful.

That’s because this type of massage focus on the often-overlooked lymphatic system.

Lymph is a whitish liquid which flows throughout the body via the lymph vessels. Its main job is to collect toxins. And at certain sections in the body referred to as “lymph nodes,” lymph is cleaned, ridding the body of those toxins.

Lymph drainage massage helps this process, and the benefits are numerous.

Relief from post-surgery pains

Lymphatic massage can actually alleviate pain after surgery.

According to Stephen M. Krant, MD, lymphatic massage reduces swelling and aids in quick post-operation recovery for plastic surgery patients.

“In my practice, as a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon, I often encounter post-operative swelling and, in some cases, occurrences of lymphedema in my breast reconstruction patients,” said Krant in an article he wrote for La Jolla Light.

Lymphatic massage can help alleviate those lymphedema symptoms, he notes.

Krant, like so many other skilled physicians, strongly believes in the power of lymphatic massage. And he regularly uses it maximize recovery and aesthetic results in all his patients.

Treating cellulite

There’s a study by Terrance Ryan, MD, a professor of dermatology at Oxford University which shows the speed in which lymph and blood flow through fat tissue is related to the creation of fat. Slow circulation causes the creation of fat, and fast circulation promotes the release of fat.

Lymphatic drainage releases collagen that traps the lymph vessels, therefore getting rid of cellulite.
