What Is a Lymphatic Facial?
A lymphatic facial uses gentle, rhythmic massage to move fluid through the lymphatic system of the face and neck. This system carries extra fluid away from your tissues. When the flow slows, the face can look puffy or tired.
Our medical aestheticians in Birmingham, MI and East Lansing combine skin care with lymphatic drainage techniques. The goal is a lifted, sculpted and refreshed look without needles or downtime.
Benefits of a Lymphatic Drainage Facial
A lymphatic drainage facial can help:
- Reduce puffiness around the eyes, cheeks and jawline
- Define facial contours for a more sculpted look
- Brighten dull skin by boosting circulation
- Relax tight muscles in the jaw, face and neck
- Prep skin to absorb serums and masks
Many clients leave with a slimmer, more awake look.
What to Expect: Procedure, Recovery and Results
Your lymphatic lift facial starts with a skin review. We cleanse and gently exfoliate the skin. Next, your aesthetician uses light, slow strokes along the neck, jaw, cheeks and eyes, moving toward the lymph nodes in the neck so fluid can drain. We finish with a mask, hydrating serum and SPF.
There is no downtime. Drink water and avoid salty foods for the rest of the day to help keep puffiness down. The depuffing effect is temporary, so many clients book regular sessions to keep their results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lymphatic Facial?
This facial suits most skin types. It is a good choice for puffiness, dull skin or a tired look, or as a gentle facial before an event. It may not be right if you have an active skin infection, a fever, or certain heart, kidney or clotting conditions. If you recently had facial surgery, ask your surgeon first.
Pair it with a full-body lymphatic drainage massage, an OxyGeneo 3-in-1 facial or a HydraFacial. You can also browse all of our med spa facials.
