Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Naperville
Radiant Life offers the third most medically referred out service, manual lymphatic drainage.
How can does manual lymphatic drainage help the body heal?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized technique that stimulates the lymph system, located just below the skin's surface. Although often called lymphatic massage, MLD differs from traditional massage that works muscle and fascia tissue. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle process that targets the comprehensive circulatory system, including lymph nodes and clearing centers throughout the body. This method is particularly beneficial before and after operations, such as a "mommy makeover," which may involve procedures like breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck, and butt lift.
The lymph system plays a crucial role in clearing germs and pathogens from the body, but as we age, the lymph fluid thickens, making it harder to filter. MLD offers a systematic and relaxing approach, increasing lymph fluid flow by up to 20%. Whether applied to specific areas like the face, neck, and scalp or as a full-body treatment, MLD is effective in addressing issues like acne or eczema associated with autoimmune conditions. A full body lymphatic drainage session is suggested for generally healthy clients every 3.5 months. but there is no disadvantage to receiving them more frequently.

Post-operative sessions are ideally spaced 3-4 days apart to enhance the healing process following the procedure. Schedule with Nicole or Tina for MLD.
