true lymph treatment

Service Description

While suitable for every person and skin type (or if you just need to de stress and have the best facial nap ever), our true lymph treatment is highly recommended for anyone who suffers from puffiness, acne, congestion, blackheads, rosacea, eczema, and other skin conditions to help nourish the skin cells within to repair and heal. When treating the skin from within, the healing results are dramatic. This facial experience begins with warming up the tissues with a soothing massage and warm stone cleanse. Prepping the skin in this manner allows for one of the most profound holistic techniques, Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage, to work even more efficiently. Lymphatic fluid is our bodies way of removing the extra cellular waste that accumulates every day. Inflammation, muscle tension and connective tissue densification can all result in constricted flow of lymphatic fluid. This impedes the timely delivery of nutrients and fresh oxygen to our skin cells. There is a lot of misinformation in the industry around lymphatic drainage facials, and sadly most providers are not educated enough to know that things like facial massage, cupping and gua sha all do in fact move lymph, but they also add fluid to the tissues at the same time. So true drainage can only happen when the tissues are worked in conjunction with the way our lymph vessels is designed, as in MLD. Moving lymph can help release some fluids from the tissues, but only MLD can increase the amount of fluid removed by up to 4-10x the normal amount! MLD is a profound method which works in conjunction with the nervous and immune systems, quieting the sympathetic so that the parasympathetic can switch on to repair + heal. This method also eradicates cellular inflammation instantly and cumulatively in the following days. This treatment will have your skin nourished, calmed, and revived as well as clearing in the following days. Products will not be applied to the skin initially for the treatment as lymphatic work is such a light touch modality, clean dry skin is required for a good connection to the tissue. Finishing products include Signature Hydration Mist, whole plant hydrosols, serums, balm and SPF. * Please note the Contraindications - not safe for pregnancy - must wait a minimum of 6 weeks after any injections -not suggested for those with acute inflammation *GST will be due at time of service
