Get answers to common questions about Facial Lymphatic Drainage Add-on.

Facial lymphatic drainage is a gentle manual or device-assisted technique that stimulates lymph flow, encouraging detoxification and reduced swelling. It de-puffs, decreases stagnation, and improves contour. We perform it as an add-on to enhance Hydrofacial extraction results with no downtime.

When paired with a Hydrofacial, lymphatic drainage accelerates removal of debris and fluid loosened by extractions, reduces inflammation, and calms the skin. It enhances contour definition and supports clearer results faster, improving comfort and recovery.

Ideal candidates include anyone experiencing facial puffiness, post-extraction swelling, or seeking improved facial definition. It’s gentle and suitable for most skin types, though contraindications like active infection, clotting disorders, or recent facial surgery require consultation.

Side effects are uncommon and mild — brief redness, tenderness, or slight tingling may occur. There’s typically no downtime and clients can resume normal activities immediately. Your technician will advise precautions like avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours.

The add-on typically takes 10–20 minutes depending on treatment area and client needs. It’s efficiently integrated into your Hydrofacial appointment to enhance extractions and recovery without significantly lengthening the session.

For lasting benefits, we recommend an initial series of 3–6 weekly sessions, then maintenance every 4–8 weeks based on goals. Many clients notice immediate de-puffing, with cumulative improvements in contour and complexion over several treatments.
