Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Brazilian lymphatic drainage is a dynamic, sculpting-style massage that uses fast, rhythmic, and targeted strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system and help release excess fluid and toxins. Originating in Brazil, this technique blends detoxification with visible body contouring benefits - reducing bloating, smoothing the appearance of cellulite, enhancing definition, and leaving you feeling lighter and more energised.
Compared to traditional manual lymphatic drainage, which focuses on slow, gentle movements for relaxation and fluid reduction, the Brazilian method is more vigorous and sculpting-focused. Its quicker, firmer strokes help create more immediate contouring effects and a noticeable sense of lightness directly after the session.
FAQs
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Brazilian lymphatic drainage uses gentle, rhythmic hand techniques along with specialised tools to help guide excess fluid toward the lymph nodes. These tools enhance the movement of lymph, improve circulation, reduce bloating, and create a more sculpted, contoured appearance.
The combination of manual techniques and tools helps encourage detoxification and supports the body’s natural drainage process.
