Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Enhancing Recovery, Reducing Swelling, and Promoting Skin Health

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, a critical part of the body’s immune and detoxification network. At Fine Aesthetic Medicine Clinic (FAM Clinic), we use MLD to support post-procedure recovery, fluid balance, and overall skin health.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?

MLD is a manual, non-invasive therapy that uses precise, rhythmic, and gentle movements to encourage the natural flow of lymph fluid throughout the body.

The lymphatic system plays a key role in:

  • Eliminating toxins and metabolic waste from tissues

  • Supporting immune function

  • Regulating fluid balance and reducing swelling

  • Facilitating tissue repair and recovery

By enhancing lymphatic circulation, MLD can improve skin texture, reduce puffiness, and accelerate recovery after aesthetic or surgical procedures.

Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage

MLD is a versatile treatment that can benefit patients in many ways:

  • Reduces swelling and fluid retention, especially after procedures like liposuction, fillers, or facelifts

  • Speeds recovery and reduces bruising post-aesthetic treatments

  • Improves circulation and promotes detoxification

  • Enhances skin tone and texture

  • Supports relaxation and overall wellbeing

MLD is also beneficial for patients with puffy or congested skin, post-procedure edema, or lymphatic sluggishness.

Treatment Areas

At FAM Clinic, MLD can be performed on:

  • Face and neck: Reduces puffiness, enhances skin radiance, and supports post-filler recovery

  • Arms, abdomen, legs: Helps reduce post-surgical swelling and promotes fluid balance

  • Scalp: Improves circulation, supporting hair health and post-treatment recovery

How is MLD Performed?

  • Each session is personalised to your needs and treatment goals.

  • Our practitioners use light, precise movements along lymphatic pathways.

  • Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

  • MLD is gentle, relaxing, and safe for most patients.

Number of Sessions:

  • A course of 3–6 sessions is recommended for optimal results

  • Maintenance sessions can be scheduled for ongoing wellness and detox support

  • Patients recovering from aesthetic treatments or surgery
