For general wellness, once or twice a month is sufficient for most people. For post-surgical recovery, we recommend 3–5 sessions in the first two to three weeks after surgery, then tapering to weekly maintenance or as needed. Your Lymphatic Massage Therapist will recommend a frequency based on your specific goals.

For most people, yes. Lymphatic drainage is extremely gentle and has a very low risk profile. However, there are a few contraindications so please contact us at 888-320-1699 to confirm eligibility and medical clearance prior to booking.

No. Lymphatic drainage should feel deeply relaxing, not painful. The pressure used is intentionally very light. If you're expecting a deep tissue massage, you'll be surprised by how different it feels. Some clients with significant post-surgical swelling experience mild tenderness in affected areas, but this is minor and resolves quickly.

A regular massage (whether it be a Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage) primarily targets muscles, fascia, and connective tissue. It uses moderate to deep pressure to release tension, improve circulation, and address muscular pain. Lymphatic drainage massage uses very light, specific, directional pressure applied to the skin's surface to stimulate movement of lymph fluid. It targets the lymphatic system specifically, not muscle tissue. The techniques and goals are fundamentally different.

Lymphatic drainage is a great fit if you're dealing with persistent puffiness or bloating, recovering from surgery, managing chronic swelling in your legs or arms, looking to support detoxification and immune function, or wanting a regular wellness treatment that complements your existing self-care routine. Our team is happy to answer questions before your first visit.

We offer a Gua Sha Lymphatic Drainage Facial Massage which is a de-puffing, detoxifying, and tension-releasing treatment for the face, neck, and décolleté. It combines acupressure, manual lymphatic drainage, and Gua Sha stone techniques, and includes scalp, neck, shoulder, and arm massage. It is ideal for reducing facial puffiness, improving skin clarity, and relieving jaw tension and is available for 30-min, 60-min, and 90-min sessions.

Clean Market’s signature lymphatic massage is a therapeutic and personalized lymphatic treatment that blends various lymphatic therapies. Parts of the massage can be as light as traditional Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) or can include more vigorous Fascia release and contour strokes, cupping and stretching. Each session varies depending on the client’s needs, but the intent always is to aid lymphatic drainage and overall well-being.

Most people report feeling relaxed after the massage and ‘freer’ in their bodies. Sometimes, if you are experiencing a significant detox you may experience mild detox symptoms after - most commonly fatigue, headaches, body aches, nausea, or brain fog. Drinking plenty of water and resting will help mitigate detox symptoms and help you recover quickly.

Additionally, depending on the pressure of your personalized Lymphatic Drainage Massage, you may experience soreness and light bruising if you bruise easily, or are specifically targeting cellulite during your treatment.
