TRANSFORM YOUR SKIN WITH MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
WHAT IS MLD?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a bodywork technique used to stimulate and clear the lymphatic system. MLD is not a massage. Rather, light pressure focuses on the superficial tissues of the body where the majority of the lymph system runs. These specific movements direct fluid from the tissues into the lymph nodes where it is washed to rid the body of cellular waste, bacteria, and viruses. In doing so, MLD enhances recovery, decreases inflammation, facilitates drainage, and accelerates tissue repair. It is excellent in the treatment of acne, rosacea, skin and tissue inflammation, TMJ, headaches, puffy eyes, chronic sinus infections, and wound healing.
MLD FOR VIBRANT SKIN
Nothing ages our skin faster than stress and inflammation. MLD meets both of these head-on by down-regulating the nervous system into rest and digest and activating the lymphatic system to clear excess fluid.
Clearing excess fluid benefits our skin in two ways. First, excess fluid harbors inflammation. Second, increased fluid decreases the access of tissues to oxygen and nutrients delivered through the blood. Regular lymphatic drainage should be a part of every skincare routine at every age.
WRINKLED AND TIRED SKIN CAN REGENERATE ITSELF, IT BECOMES FRESH AND ELASTIC AND THE TIRED WORN-OUT APPEARANCE DISAPPEARS.
A REAL METAMORPHOSIS IS EXPERIENCED.

BENEFITS OF MLD
-
FLUID BALANCE
Probably the foremost benefit of MLD is the addressing of fluid balance in the body. Excess fluid and metabolic waste can lead to tissue inflammation. Clearing this fluid restores a clean environment in which cellular replication and regeneration thrive.
-
SYMPATHOLYTIC
MLD quickly down-regulates the nervous system into parasympathetic where we feel deeply relaxed and rested. Only in parasympathetic are our bodies able to heal and repair
-
ANALGESIC
When received for a minimum of 20-30 minutes, the continuous touch of MLD overrides the pain receptors in our bodies while simultaneously clearing inflammation in the tissues.
-
IMMUNOLOGIC
MLD increases the speed of lymphatic fluid into the lymph nodes which boosts the immune system. White blood cells are replicated more quickly with an increased transportation speed thus increasing the body's overall response.
