Healthy, glowing skin starts beneath the surface. At Salon d’Homme, we begin all of our treatments with lymphatic drainage—a simple yet powerful way to prepare your skin and body for the best results. But what exactly is it, and why is it so important?
WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that stimulates your lymphatic system, which helps transport excess fluid and waste from tissues to be processed by your kidneys and liver. By supporting this natural detox process, lymphatic drainage promotes healthier, more radiant skin.
WHY DO WE USE IT?
Lymphatic drainage prepares your skin for treatment by stimulating the lymphatic system. This supports your body’s natural detox process, which relies on the lymphatic system to remove waste.
When the lymphatic system is sluggish or blocked, your body may overuse secondary systems like the skin, lungs, or sinuses to eliminate waste. This can lead to irritation or inflammation—especially undesirable when you’re here for a facial treatment. By activating lymphatic flow, we help prevent this, allowing your skin to look and feel its best.
THE SKIN BENEFITS
- Reduces Puffiness: Smooths swelling, especially around the eyes.
- Boosts Circulation: Improves lymph flow for enhanced radiance.
- Detoxifies: Reduces inflammation and improves skin texture.
- Prepares The Skin: Optimises absorption of active ingredients (nutrients in, waste out).
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THIS STEP?
We start at the collarbone, gently stimulating the lymphatic ducts to encourage detoxification. Next, we focus on the vagus nerve near the neck to promote relaxation, followed by light massage along the jawline, chin, cheeks, and ocular bone. This activates the lymphatic system and prepares your skin for the rest of the face treatment.
A COMPREHENSIVE, SCIENCE-BACKED APPROACH
Lymphatic drainage isn’t just about glowing skin—it supports your overall well-being by promoting relaxation, boosting circulation, reducing inflammation, and aiding recovery after invasive treatments.
