Classic MLD Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended by proponents to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph from the tissues space body. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.

Post Op MLD Following many elective, cosmetic-surgery operations, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is advised and is critical in the healing and recovery process. It is an extremely gentle treatment and significantly decreases the presence of bruising, swelling, stiffness, burning or shooting pain, scars, and lumps occurred during or after surgery.

Many surgeons advise their clients in advance to book Post Op MLDs to help their client’s recovery.

Liposuction

Fat removal (360 sculpt)
