Lymphatic Drainage
Light touch. A little less puffiness.
Lymphatic drainage uses gentle massage to help move fluid and ease certain kinds of swelling. Explore whether it fits your needs, including recovery care cleared by your treating clinician.
Book NowGentle movement with a clear purpose.
Lymphatic drainage uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage fluid along the body’s lymph pathways. It can help with some fluid-related swelling and feels different from deep-tissue massage.
01
Identify the area
Tell us where you feel puffy or swollen and when it started. New or unexplained swelling needs a medical check before massage.
02
Use gentle, directed movements
The treatment uses gentle pressure, not deep muscle work. If you’re recovering from surgery, your surgeon must clear the timing and approach.
03
Review comfort and response
Check in about comfort and changes in swelling. XO will explain the areas covered and whether follow-up visits make sense.
GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEARER CHOICES.

A few things to know before your visit. Have another question? We’re happy to help.
IMPORTANT TREATMENT INFORMATION
Read about recovery, side effects and who should avoid treatment in the questions below. We’ll also talk through these details before your appointment.
What can lymphatic drainage help with?
It may ease some fluid-related swelling through light, directed massage. It does not remove fat or replace weight management, and it is not a general detox treatment.
Can I book after a procedure?
Check with the clinician or surgeon managing your recovery first. Once they have cleared it, contact XO about the timing and areas to include.
How does it feel compared with a regular massage?
Lymphatic drainage uses light pressure and a planned sequence of movements rather than deep work on tight muscles. Tell your provider how you’re feeling throughout the session.
What if I have a diagnosed lymphatic condition?
Please ask before booking. You may need specialist care beyond a general medspa service. XO can help clarify whether this appointment fits the care your clinician recommends.
Which areas and recovery options can I discuss?
XO’s menu lists lymphatic-drainage options for the face, abdomen, arms, back and legs, plus a combined lymphatic-drainage and LED light-therapy appointment. Ask the team which current option fits the area you have in mind. After a procedure, your treating clinician should clear the timing and approach first.
Who should avoid treatment, and what are the risks?
Suitability depends on your health and reason for treatment. Tell the provider about recent surgery, infection, unexplained swelling and relevant heart or vascular conditions. Obtain guidance from your treating clinician when needed. Seek medical assessment for concerning new symptoms rather than using a wellness appointment as a substitute.
