Bloating doesn't only happen in the body. Your face can hold fluid too.
Facial lymphatic drainage works on the same principles as body lymphatic massage but is adapted specifically for the delicate vessels and nodes of the face, jaw and neck.
It's something we offer in clinic, incorporated into a session where beneficial.
What it can help with:
✔️ Puffiness and fluid retention through the cheeks and jaw
✔️ Under eye heaviness
✔️ Post-treatment swelling after cosmetic procedures
✔️ Skin congestion and dullness
✔️ Tension through the jaw and neck
Between appointments, tools like gua sha and facial rollers can be a great way to maintain drainage at home. When used correctly, with light upward and outward strokes followed by downward movement through the neck, they encourage fluid to keep moving between sessions.
The key word is correctly. Direction and pressure matter here just as much as they do in clinic.
If you'd like guidance on how to use these tools effectively, ask us at your next appointment.
