Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic Drainage decreases body volume, promotes the elimination of toxins and liquid waste, improves blood circulation and speeds up metabolism by favoring the disappearance of accumulated fat and cellulite.

It is a treatment performed through rhythmic and constant movements of gentle manual pressure, exerted throughout the lymphatic system. Float in Spa uses the Vodder method for faster and more effective results.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic Drainage is a massage technique that uses specific movements and pressure, working the lymphatic system in order to increase lymph flow.

It is through the stimulation of the circulation of accumulated fluids between cells and metabolic waste that expels toxins and accumulated waste.

The elimination of these residues and toxins results in effective combat against cellulite and localized fats, enhancement of the immune system, stimulation of tissue regeneration and anti-inflammatory action, as well as relaxing effects.

With one treatment you will experience all these benefits. However, regular sessions are advised to obtain the maximum slimming potential of this treatment.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, step by step:
Lymphatic Drainage is a treatment performed with a very gentle touch and pressure, because the lymphatic vessels are very superficial, lying between the skin, muscles and fat.

The treatment begins with the opening of the main ganglia that accumulate the toxins produced by the body, thus hindering the lymphatic circulation. This process is done with the hand placed on the ganglion to make a slight pressure, which will have the function of stimulating its operation.

The lymph channels are then directed through the lymphatic channels with superficial manual sliding towards the stimulated ganglion. Circular and wave-like motions are also used to drag lymph and stimulate lymph circulation. A compression and decompression movement is also made to activate the natural functions of the vessels.

All movements are made upwards, always interspersed with pumping in the main ganglia. In the end, treatment ends with a new stimulation of the ganglia.
