400% INCREASE THE FACE CIRCULATION OF BLOOD
An article published by Harvard University showed meridian lymphatic massage helps improve microcirculation significantly. Studies performed at the University Hospital in Essen, Germany showed "a 400% increase in microperfusion" (surface circulation of blood). The improved blood flow evens out the skin tone and gives a healthy, natural glow.
LIFTS SAGGING CONTOURS
Meridian lymphatic facial massage not only smooths facial muscles, but also fascia - the underlying structures of the face- which lifts sagging facial contours and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.
Reduce Swelling and Puffiness
A lymphatic detoxify facial is a soothing and relaxing massage using gentle but effective brushing motions to reduce swelling in the eye and neck area, as well as the rest of the face. The lymphatic system consists of a large network of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes throughout the body. Intrinsically linked to your immune system, the lymphatic network aids in the removal of waste products from body tissue.
Improve Detoxification
A lymphatic facial massage can detox your complexion, drain fluids and increase circulation. When the lymphatic system has become sluggish or stagnant, it is usually do to lack of exercise, poor diet or you have suffered a prolonged illness.
By stimulating the lymph system you move fluid out of your tissues into lymph nodes where bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms are destroyed.
The lymphatic system functions via and is dependent on the pressure of the blood system. Because of this, the efficacy of your lymph nodes in eliminating toxins is dependent on the efficacy of your circulatory system, which can mean a slower-than-desirable detoxification process. This is where physical manipulation of the lymph nodes comes in to help speed up the process.
Boost Immune System
As a beneficial side effect, your immune system is also boosted. Before treatment, some patients may experience impaired lymph drainage, where, for example, flow is obstructed or simply insufficient. When flow is obstructed or too slow, lymphatic fluid (lymph) accumulates in the tissue, resulting in swelling in the affected area, and this can irritate the skin. When fluid builds up like this it can cause discomfort, puffiness and a dull complexion.
Reduction of scar tissue
Manual lymphatic massage is believed to help in the reduction of new scar tissue. By actively encouraging increased circulation to the area and clearing any system blockages, fresh blood and oxygen flood the area and support cell regeneration. Many plastic surgery practices have licensed estheticians who specialize in lymphatic massage working with their patients to help support post-treatment healing.
With regular treatment, the symptoms of a congested lymphatic system can be dramatically reduced, improving the skin’s appearance.
