Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lymphatic Drainage Treatment.

Yes, when approved by your surgeon or medical team, Lymphatic Drainage Treatment is safe post-surgery. Our certified therapists use gentle, targeted techniques and follow medical guidelines, reducing swelling without stressing tissues. Bring medical clearance and inform us about treatments and medications.

Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes, depending on area treated and condition severity. Initial visits may be longer for assessment. Your therapist will recommend frequency and duration based on your needs to achieve optimal lymph flow and reduced inflammation.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary: light fatigue, increased urination, slight tenderness, or temporary bruising. These signs indicate detoxification. Serious reactions are rare; stop treatment and contact us or your physician if you experience severe pain, fever, or unusual symptoms.

Many clients notice reduced swelling and lighter sensation after the first session, while optimal results often require multiple treatments over weeks. Your therapist will outline a customized plan based on your condition, medical history, and treatment goals.

Clients with active infection, deep vein thrombosis, uncontrolled heart conditions, untreated cancer, or acute inflammation should avoid treatment until cleared by a physician. Pregnant clients should consult their obstetrician; our therapists can coordinate with medical providers for safe care.

Hydrate well the day of appointment, wear loose, comfortable clothing, and avoid heavy creams. Bring medical records or clearance and a list of medications. Arrive a few minutes early to complete intake forms and discuss goals with your therapist.
