Manual Lymphatic Drainage/ Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage

Discount series is available after initial session

Manual lymphatic drainage therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, lymphatic drainage massage can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling, edema, bloating issues,  digestion issues, discomfort from pregnancy, and boosts resistance to illness. Little to no oil is used.

Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized detox body contouring technique that delivers immediate, visible results. Unlike traditional, slow-paced and gentle, light-feather pressure of manual lymphatic drainage, this dynamic approach rapidly reduces bloating and water retention, and reshapes the body, leaving you feeling lighter with improved, visible body contours. Detox oil is used for this treatment. 

• 60 min covers localized focus only of Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Although all the lymph nodes are still stimulated for this treatment, it is not a complete full body lymphatic treatment. Please look into a 90 min or 2 hour for full body

--------- FAQs & INFO ---------

What is Fascia?

Fascia is like a spider web. It is a stringy tissue that is densely woven throughout your muscles, nerves, organs, arteries, veins and bones. The fascia tissue is one continuous structure throughout your body and holds everything in place. That is why if there is a snag or stretching in the tissue, it can cause pain in another body part that is connected to the fascia line. 

Fascia is strong. It provides structural support and protects your muscles. Normally, fascia is flexible, stretchy and wants to move in all directions without any restrictions. When there is trauma in the tissue, lack of hydration, the fascia looses it's flexibility. It gets dry, brittle and more rigid. The tightness and adhesions can lead to pain, and loss of mobility, which can affect your quality of life.

What is Myofascial Release?

"Myo" means muscle and "fascia" is a strong and dense connective tissue made up of collagen and elastin. It covers and supports the muscles throughout your body. During the treatment myofascia release focuses on treating and hydrating the fascia tissue by applying gentle to firm pressure to stretch, and release any adhesions or knots in the fascia tissue. Myofascial release focuses more on the fascia tissue and its connections rather than the muscle itself.

Myofascial release is a technique that uses direct contact with the skin with little to no oil in order to feel the tightness in the fascia. The pressure is applied slowly in attempt to stretch and lengthen the fascia tissue. You may feel a tug of the skin, electricity, or burning senstion when severe adhesions are found in the fascia. This is completely normal. Myofascial release also activates muscle spindles, which send sensory information to the spinal cord. The spinal cord then regulates muscle contraction to ensure optimal length and tension for movement and stability. 

Myofascial release is beneficial for anyone who has suffered from any injury, has mobility restrictions, poor posture, and chronic pain.

Lymphatic Massage FAQS

Recommended Frequency Based on Needs:

• Initial Start of Treatment/Acute Phase (Acute Swelling): 2–3 sessions per week for the first 1–2 weeks, decreasing to 1–2 sessions weekly thereafter. Every 3 days is best when starting out for the first 2 weeks. 
• Lymphedema/ Edema Management: Can range from 1–5 sessions per week depending on severity.
• Detox/Maintenance: Initial start is every 3 days for at least 2 weeks and then 1 session per week, or once every 3–4 weeks for maintenance.

Before and After Lymphatic Treatments

Before Treatment (Preparation)

• Consultation: Discuss health concerns with a doctor.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water 2 days prior to treatment to assist with lymphatic flow.
• Mindset: Prepare for a very light, gentle touch, not a deep tissue massage. 

After Treatment (Results & Aftercare)

• Immediate Effects: Feelings of lightness, increased energy, and decreased bloating/puffiness.
• Physical Changes: Smoother skin appearance, improved circulation, and sometimes increased urination to remove toxins.
• Temporary Side Effects: Some may experience fatigue, mild thirst, or mild headaches due to detox of toxins.
• Aftercare: Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity, and rest.
• Results: Regular, consistent sessions are generally recommended for the best results.

Wood Therapy FAQs

Prepping for Wood Therapy

• Hydration: Increase water intake 48 hours before and after the session to assist with toxin removal.
• Dietary Restrictions: Avoid eating heavy carb meals 2–4 hours before treatment
• Timing: Avoid scheduling during menstruation. 

After (post) treatment 

• Continue drinking plenty of water
• Expect potential mild soreness in treated areas
• Avoid heavy carbs, alcohol and caffeine for 48 hours after for best results

How often can I get a treatment? And maintenace?

Treatments can be done several times a week for over 1-3 months. Ideally, you want to give the body at least 3 days in between sessions. 1-2 sessions per month for maintenace once you have achieved your desired goal.  

When will I see results?

Results are typical right from the first session and a minimum of 4-12 initial treatments is recommended for full results. Normally, treatments are performed several times a week for many weeks to see the full benefits. Results can vary from person to person. 

How long do the results of wood therapy last?

Many report results lasting up to a few months after the completion of their last treatment. However, maintenance treatments are necessary to keep the results you have achieved. Wood therapy only gives temporary results. The more consistent you are with it, the better your results will be and the longer they will last.

Non invasive body contouring info | Prepping | Results

Non-invasive body contouring uses technologies like low level laser lipo technology, radiofrequency, and ultrasound cavitation to reduce stubborn, localized fat pockets and tighten skin without surgery or downtime. 

NON INVASIVE LASER LIPO

• This advanced technology delivers a low-level laser dual wavelength technology to target stored fat in the body and improve collagen production to tighten the skin. The fat cells will shrink over time, and your body will lose inches along with the removal of toxins and improved skin. 
• Procedure: Patients lie down while panels with laser diodes are placed over the skin for 20 minutes.
• Results & Downtime: No anesthesia or downtime is needed, with results generally visible in 6–12 weeks
• Initial Frequency: 2–3 sessions per week are recommended initially to maximize results.
• Total Protocol: Most patients require a series of 6–12 sessions.
• Treatment Area: A "session" usually targets specific areas like the waist, hips, or thighs, requiring about 15–20 minutes per area.
• Optimal Timing: Results are best achieved when paired with light exercise immediately after each session to help the body burn the released fat and stimulate the lymphatic system. 
• Consistency: Scheduling sessions consistently, such as twice a week over 4-6 weeks, ensures that the body continuously breaks down fat cells.

RADIOFREQUENCY

• Non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) is a cosmetic procedure that uses energy waves to heat the deep, collagen-rich layers of the skin. This controlled heat causes immediate tissue contraction, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and results in firmer, tighter skin while reducing sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, and cellulite.

Results and Benefits

• Skin Tightening: Effectively firms mild to moderate sagging skin on the face, neck, and body (e.g., abdomen, arms)
• Collagen Stimulation: Triggers new collagen and elastin production, which builds over time.
• Appearance Timeline: While immediate tightening of collagen fibers can be seen, optimal results appear gradually over 2 to 6 months as new collagen matures.
• Longevity: Results can last, but maintenance sessions are typically recommended to sustain improvements every 1-3 months

Preparation

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least a week prior to treatment to prevent sun-damaged skin from being treated.
• Stop Irritants: Discontinue use of retinol, Retin-A, glycolic acids, and benzoyl peroxide 5-7 days before the session.
• Avoid Blood Thinners: Avoid aspirin, Advil (ibuprofen), fish oil, and vitamin E for 5-7 days to minimize potential bruising, if safe to do so.
• Hydrate: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated in the days leading up to the appointment.
• Clean Skin: Arrive on the day of the procedure with clean, makeup-free skin. 

Procedure

• Duration: The procedure is an outpatient treatment, typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on the area.
• Process: A technician applies a conductive gel to the treatment area to protect the skin and improve RF conduction.
• Application: A handheld device is moved across the skin surface, delivering consistent, deep heating.
• Sensation: The treatment is generally comfortable, feeling like a warm massage.
• No Downtime: Patients can usually return to their normal activities immediately, as there are no punctures to the skin. 

Side Effects

• Minimal: Common, temporary reactions include slight redness, swelling, and mild warmth, which usually subside within a few hours to 1-2 days. 

Non-invasive RF is ideal for individuals looking for non-surgical, non-injection options for skin rejuvenation.

ULTRASOUND CAVITATION

Ultrasonic cavitation is a cosmetic procedure that uses low-frequency sound waves to break down stubborn fat cells into liquid form, which the body then excretes as waste. It is used to reduce cellulite, contour the body, and target areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms. 

How It Works

• Ultrasonic Waves: The device emits high-frequency sound waves that create microscopic bubbles around fat deposits beneath the skin. You will hear a high pitch sound during treatment  because of these sound waves.
• Cell Breakdown: The bubbles pressure the fat cells, causing them to rupture and release their contents (glycerol and free fatty acids) into the interstitial system.
• Natural Elimination: The body’s lymphatic system processes and removes these broken-down fat cells as waste

Key Preparation (Before the Session):

• Hydration: Drink at least 2 liters of water daily for 2–3 days prior to help break down fat cells.
• Diet: Follow a low-carbohydrate, low-sugar diet for 24 hours before to prevent overloading the liver.
• Avoid Substances: Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24–48 hours before treatment to prevent dehydration.
• Skin Prep: Avoid applying creams, oils, or lotions to the area.

Treatment Frequency and Protocol

• Initial Course: 6 to 12 sessions are standard for optimal results.
• Frequency: Treatments should be scheduled 2-3 times per week.
• Interval: At least 72 hours (3 days) to 1 week should be allowed between sessions for optimal lymphatic system processing of released fatty acids.

Maintenance Protocol

• Post-Treatment: Once the desired results are achieved, maintenance sessions are advised to prevent new fat accumulation, typically once every 1–3 months. 

Maximizing Results (Maintenance Lifestyle)

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water (128 oz/day) 2–3 days before and after sessions to aid metabolic processing.
• Diet: Maintain a low-carb, low-sugar diet to support fat reduction.
• Exercise: Perform light cardiovascular exercise, such as walking or cycling, immediately after treatment to assist in draining fat cells through the lymphatic system.
• Avoid: Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine for 48 hours post-treatment, as they dehydrate the body and impede the lymphatic system. 

Contraindications For Massage

Absolute Contraindications  
Massage should not be performed under these circumstances:
1. Fever or Infection
- Elevated body temperature (fever) indicates the body is fighting an infection. Massage may wors
the condition or spread infection.
- Examples: Flu, cold, or systemic infections like sepsis.
2. Contagious Diseases
- Conditions that can spread through direct contact or airborne particles.
- Examples: Skin infections (ringworm, impetigo), COVID-19, tuberculosis.
3. Acute Inflammation
- Areas of redness, swelling, pain, or heat should not be massaged as it can aggravate inflammation
- Examples: Appendicitis, acute injuries.
4. Blood Clots or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Massage may dislodge a clot, potentially causing a life-threatening embolism.
5. Unstable Cardiovascular Conditions
- Conditions like unstable angina, heart attack, or severe hypertension require medical clearance before massage.
6. Severe Bleeding Disorders
- Clients with hemophilia or on blood-thinning medications may bruise or bleed excessively from massage.
7. Open Wounds or Burns
- Massage can introduce bacteria to open wounds or irritate healing tissues.

8. Recent Surgery or Acute Injury
- Wait until tissues have sufficiently healed and healthcare provider approves massage
9. Cancer (Without Medical Clearance)
- Some cancers or treatments (like chemotherapy) require specific modifications and approval of an oncologist.
10. Intoxication
- Alcohol or drug intoxication impairs the client’s ability to provide feedback, increasing the risk of injury.

Contraindications For Lymphatic Massage

General Contraindications: Whole Body

- Decompensated Cardiac Insufficiency: The heart is unable to pump blood effectively, making MLD unsafe.
- Cardiac Edema: Swelling caused by heart issues that could worsen with lymphatic stimulation.
- Congestive Heart Failure: Increased lymph flow may overburden the heart.
- Acute Inflammation (Pathogenic Germs): Includes infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. MLD could
spread pathogens, increasing the risk of blood poisoning (sepsis).
- Renal Failure: The kidneys cannot process the increased fluid load resulting from MLD.
- Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Risk of dislodging a blood clot, leading to potentially life-threatening
complications such as a pulmonary embolism.

Relative Contraindication
Proceed with caution and only with medical supervision:
- Malignant Disease: MLD may increase circulation, potentially affecting the progression of certain cancers.

Contraindications for Neck Treatment
- Overactive Thyroid Function: Risk of releasing thyroid hormones into the bloodstream too rapidly.
- Overly Sensitive Carotid Sinus: Could cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure or heart rate due to
overstimulation of pressure-sensitive nerve endings in the carotid bifurcation.
- Cardiac Arrhythmia: Stimulation of the vagus nerve in the neck may trigger heart failure in some cases. Relative Contraindication
- Elderly Patients (Over 60): Consult the referring physician before treating older clients. Age-related arteriosclerosis in the neck vessels may increase sensitivity to pressure, and there is a risk of dislodging
deposits, potentially causing a stroke.

Contraindications for Abdomen Treatment

- Pregnancy: Stimulating lymph flow in the abdomen is unsafe for expectant mothers.
- Menstruation: Abdominal MLD may increase bleeding and discomfort during the menstrual cycle.
- Seizure Disorders (e.g., Epilepsy): Hyperventilation triggered by the treatment may provoke seizures.
- Blocked Intestine (Ileus): MLD could worsen an already critical condition.
- Intestinal Diverticulosis: Risk of further irritation or complications.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Avoid post-surgical or untreated aneurysms due to the risk of complications.
- Severe Arteriosclerosis: Common in metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, this condition may lead to
vessel damage or plaque dislodgement.
- Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (e.g., Colitis Ulcerosa, Crohn’s Disease): Increased lymphatic activity may
exacerbate symptoms.
- Pronounced Abdominal Adhesions: Often a result of surgical intervention, adhesions may limit safe MLD
application.
- Post-Radiation Therapy Changes: Conditions such as radiation cystitis or radiation colitis make abdominal
treatments unsafe.
- Pelvic Deep Vein Thrombosis: Increased lymph flow could mobilize clots, leading to severe complications

Contraindications For Wood Therapy

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. Pregnancy, it is totally contraindicated during the entire pregnancy.

2. Postpartum. Although it can be done on the arms and face.

3. Sunburn or other more serious cases.

4. Acute inflammation in a specific area.

5. Menstruation, only during the first 2 days.

6. Active cancer

7. Undiagnosed lumps or tumors

8. Uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid issues

9. Burns or skin lesions

10. Skin infections or diseases

11. Patients diagnosed with edema

12. Kidney diseases

It is always best to check with your doctor before starting wood therapy to ensure it will not harm you. Wood therapy is not recommended for those with rashes, cuts, open wounds or undiagnosed lumps in the massage area. Patients with a fever, infection, pregnancy, recent surgery, certain cardiovascular conditions, and diabetes must check with their doctor first. Patients on blood thinners may bruise more easily.

SIDE EFFECTS

• Some clients may experience common detoxing side effects such as headache, fatigue, bloating, nausea, cramping, and gas.

• Mild bruising, tenderness, itching from increased blood flow, and redness is normal, especially those with sensitive skin or ones that bruise easily. If this happens, arnica gel can be applied to the area with bruising and will help the bruises to fade. Any tenderness, bruising or redness should go away within a few days.

Contraindications For Non Invasive Body Contouring

Low-level laser lipo, ultrasound cavitation, and radiofrequency (RF) are non-invasive body contouring treatments that share similar contraindications. These procedures generally aim to break down fat or tighten skin, which puts a metabolic load on the body or uses heat/energy that can interfere with medical devices or sensitive health conditions. 

Absolute Contraindications (Should Not Receive Treatment):

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Strict contraindication due to unknown effects of released toxins and energy on fetal development and breast milk.
• Active Implants: Individuals with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other electronic implants must avoid these treatments, particularly RF and cavitation, as they can interfere with device function.
• Severe Organ Dysfunction: Active kidney failure, liver disease (e.g., fatty liver, cirrhosis), or severe heart problems (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, heart disease).
• Cancer: History of cancer or undergoing active cancer treatment (chemotherapy/radiation).
• Immune System and Blood Disorders: HIV/AIDS, lupus, or hemophilia.
• Active Infections/Skin Diseases: Open wounds, rashes, psoriasis, eczema, or active infections in the area to be treated.
• Medications: Use of photo-sensitizing medications (e.g., isotretinoin/Accutane within 6 months) or anti-inflammatory drugs like prednisone. 

Relative Contraindications (Require Medical Clearance or Caution):

• Metal Implants: Metal pins, screws, or plates in the target area (cannot be treated over).
• Epilepsy: Requires a doctor’s letter for suitability.
• Thyroid Disease: Specifically for treatments applied to the neck/upper body.
• Recent Surgery: Usually requires waiting 3–6 months after surgical procedures in the target area.
• Diabetes: Uncontrolled diabetes is an absolute barrier, while controlled diabetes may require clearance.
• Varicose Veins: Avoid treating directly over affected areas.
• Skin Sensitivity/Heat Insensitivity: Those with neuropathy or inability to feel heat, increasing burn risks. 

Key Treatment-Specific Considerations:

• Ultrasound Cavitation: Should not be used on the head, neck, chest, or directly over bony areas
• Radiofrequency (RF): Must avoid treating over areas with recent Botox (wait 3-4 weeks) or dermal fillers (wait 2 weeks).
• Laser Lipo: Avoid treating over tattoos or permanent makeup. 

It is essential to consult with a qualified practitioner and, if necessary, a physician to evaluate individual medical history before undergoing these procedures.
