Many clients notice reduced puffiness and a lighter feeling immediately, with optimal contouring after two to four sessions. Results vary by individual; follow-up treatments and healthy hydration support longer-lasting detox and improved lymphatic function.

While generally safe, it’s not recommended for people with deep vein thrombosis, severe heart conditions, active infection, or untreated cancer. Pregnant clients should consult their OB provider first. Our therapists perform a health assessment before every session to ensure safety.

Sessions range from 45 to 90 minutes depending on treatment focus and client needs. Longer sessions allow for full-body drainage and targeted sculpting, while shorter sessions concentrate on problem areas. Your therapist will recommend the ideal duration during consultation.

We recommend drinking water, avoiding heavy meals and alcohol, and wearing loose clothing. Post-treatment hydration and gentle movement, like walking, enhance results. Your therapist will provide personalized pre- and post-care instructions to maximize lymph flow and comfort.

For acute fluid retention, one to three sessions can yield noticeable improvements. For long-term detox and body contouring, a series of six to ten sessions spaced weekly is ideal. Maintenance sessions monthly or seasonally help sustain benefits.

The technique is gentle and usually relaxing; clients often feel light pressure or mild movement sensations. Some may experience temporary tenderness or increased urination as lymph drains. Discomfort is uncommon—therapists adjust pressure for comfort and safety throughout the session.
