A lymphatic drainage facial uses gentle, rhythmic massage techniques to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system. This helps flush out toxins, excess fluids, and waste buildup beneath the skin’s surface. By improving circulation and lymph flow, it reduces puffiness, promotes detoxification, and leaves the skin looking firm, sculpted, and naturally radiant.

Unlike traditional facials that focus mainly on exfoliation or extraction, this treatment focuses on lymphatic circulation, facial contouring, and detoxification to visibly lift and depuff the skin.

Unlike deep tissue massage or aggressive facials, lymphatic drainage does not use heavy pressure or harsh products. Instead, it works with your body—not against it—to stimulate detoxification and circulation.

At Skin Bliss Med Spa, we perform a full consultation before each lymphatic drainage facial to ensure your skin is in optimal condition. The treatment is gentle enough for clients with rosacea, dryness, or compromised barriers, and it’s also safe for those recovering from cosmetic procedures (once cleared by their provider).

In summary, facial lymphatic drainage is one of the safest, most restorative treatments available—offering both cosmetic and wellness benefits with virtually no side effects.

At Skin Bliss Med Spa, we take extra care to ensure safety and comfort for all clients, including those who are pregnant. Our lymphatic drainage facials use gentle, pregnancy-safe skincare products and soothing massage movements that calm both the skin and mind.
