(786) 301-0886Getting Ready for Your Lymphatic Drainage Session
Lymphatic drainage is safe for most adults. It’s low-impact, non-invasive, with no chemicals, heat, or incisions. To get the most from your session, drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your appointment and skip heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. Wear something comfortable and easy to change out of.

Reduce Puffiness, Swelling, and Support Recovery
After a body contouring session, fluid shifts toward the treated area and mild swelling kicks in. That’s all expected.
Lymphatic drainage therapy works with your body during that window — a gentle, rhythmic massage that moves excess fluid toward your lymph nodes so your system can process it faster. For most clients, that means less bloating, more comfort, and a clearer view of results sooner.
A Gentle Way to Help Your Body Move Excess Fluid
Your lymphatic system moves fluid, waste, and immune cells through a network of vessels and nodes. It runs on its own but can slow down after body treatments, long flights, or extended sitting.
Manual lymphatic drainage uses light, repetitive strokes to guide fluid back toward active lymph nodes. The therapist starts at the neck, works through major node clusters, then focuses on areas that feel congested or swollen. Nothing is forced. This technique simply helps your body do what it’s already doing, more efficiently.
Slow, Rhythmic and More Relaxing Than Most Clients Expect
If you’re expecting something similar to deep tissue work, this is the opposite. The pressure is light and rhythmic. Most clients find it deeply relaxing.
Each session runs about 45 to 60 minutes. Your therapist at Savou Medical Spa will begin with the major lymph node areas and then move into the zones that need the most attention. There’s no pain or discomfort, and most people walk out feeling lighter and less bloated than they did going in.

Lymphatic Drainage After SculpSure, VelaShape, or Emsculpt
Treatments like Emsculpt Neo, VelaShape, and SculpSure all create real changes under the skin. Fat cells break down, muscles respond, and your body sends extra fluid to the area as it heals. A lymphatic drainage session during this window helps move things along, and many clients feel noticeably lighter after just one visit.
| Body Contouring Treatment | Suggested Timing | Typical Frequency |
| SculpSure | 3 to 7 days post-treatment, during the clearing period | 1 to 2x weekly for 4 to 6 weeks |
| VelaShape | 24 to 48 hours post-treatment | 1 to 3x weekly as needed |
| Emsculpt Neo | 24 to 48 hours post-treatment | 1 to 2x weekly for 2 to 4 weeks |
Not sure when to schedule your first drainage session? Reach out and we’ll recommend the right timing based on which treatment you had.
