Lymphatic drainage massage in Cádiz
It promotes the movement of fluids through gentle manoeuvres
Manual lymphatic drainage uses slow, gentle and rhythmic movements designed to encourage the flow of fluids through the lymphatic system.
It may be recommended in certain cases of fluid retention or as a complementary treatment during recovery from certain procedures.
It is not an intense massage, nor is it a technique designed to remove fat.
When might it be recommended?
It may be considered in cases of:
- Fluid retention.
- A feeling of bloating.
- Heaviness in the legs.
- Cellulite with an oedematous component.
- Certain problems relating to venous or lymphatic circulation.
- Recovery following liposuction.
- Recovery following other procedures, subject to medical authorisation.
In cases of venous insufficiency or other circulatory problems, a preliminary assessment is required to rule out any contraindications.
Lymphatic drainage following liposuction
Where indicated by the surgeon, drainage may form part of the post-operative follow-up.
It can help to reduce oedema and support recovery, but it must be carried out at the right time and with the appropriate intensity.
A vigorous massage, or one performed too soon, may not be advisable.
Lymphatic drainage and cellulite
It can be useful when cellulite involves a significant degree of fluid retention.
In such cases, it can be combined with radiofrequency, body mesotherapy or other treatments.
Is it a weight-loss treatment?
No. Drainage helps to move fluids, but it does not remove fatty tissue or replace a balanced diet or physical exercise.
A temporary reduction in volume due to fluid loss is not the same as fat loss.
