Known to give you that all-day post-facial glow, lymphatic drainage has been around for many years. It’s a technique used by aestheticians all around the world to help improve the look of skin. Some even call it a non-surgical facelift.

Originally, it was used on patients with Lymphedema (chronic swelling due to damage or removal of lymph nodes). Studies have shown that it’s also effective in reducing swelling and visible puffiness in those recovering from injuries. In the realm of facial lymphatic drainage drains excess fluid to help breathe new life into your skin.

• Why Is It good For You?

We’ve all woken up with a puffy face, haven’t we? This unwanted puffiness is the outcome of overnight fluid retention. As we lay still asleep, fluid rests and collects in the face, and a person’s sleeping position may worsen this. This is one of many reasons why wearing F'age tape over night is so wonderful.

Unlike the circulatory system, your lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump. The lymphatic system is dependent on muscle contraction, exercise, physical manipulation, and diet to function normally. That’s where lymphatic drainage comes in.

It improves circulation which means that lymph, which contains oxygen, amino acids, glucose, and other vital nutrients, is able to transport these vital nutrients to every cell in our body at an accelerated pace. With it, toxins and impurities are carried away from our bodies, making the lymphatic system crucial to our immune system and our overall health.
