Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit Treatment

Following your Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit treatment, it is important to care for your body correctly to maximise the benefits of treatment, support your lymphatic system and maintain your results. Most clients find the treatment relaxing and experience little to no downtime. Following treatment, you may notice: * Increased urination as your body eliminates excess fluid. * Reduced feelings of bloating or fluid retention. * A feeling of lightness in the treated areas. * Improved circulation. * Mild tenderness if the tissues were particularly congested. These effects are normal and usually settle within 24–48 hours. To support your lymphatic system: * Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay well hydrated. * Resume normal daily activities. * Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. * Avoid alcohol for the remainder of the day where possible. For the first 24–48 hours * Continue drinking plenty of water to support the removal of excess fluid. * Avoid excessive alcohol consumption. * Maintain light physical activity, such as walking, to encourage healthy lymphatic circulation. * Eat a healthy, balanced diet and avoid excessive salt intake where possible, as this can contribute to fluid retention. ## For the First 5–7 days: * Continue to stay well hydrated. * Maintain regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle to support long-term results. * Attend your recommended treatment course, as regular sessions often provide the greatest benefits. * Follow any additional advice provided by your practitioner if the treatment was performed alongside other body contouring procedures. To achieve the best results from your Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit treatment: * Drink plenty of water every day. * Maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. * Avoid prolonged periods of sitting or standing where possible. * Attend regular maintenance treatments as recommended by your practitioner. * Follow your personalised treatment plan to support circulation, reduce fluid retention and enhance body contouring results. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns following your treatment or experience: * Increasing pain or swelling. * Persistent redness or skin irritation. * Unusual discomfort that does not improve. * Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you develop symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, severe leg pain or swelling, or you feel generally unwell, seek immediate medical attention by contacting your GP, NHS 111 or attending your nearest emergency department, as these symptoms may indicate a serious underlying medical condition unrelated to the treatment. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. * Drink plenty of water before your treatment, as good hydration helps support your lymphatic system and optimise treatment results. * Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your appointment. Avoid arriving on an empty stomach or immediately after a large meal. * Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your treatment, as it can contribute to dehydration. * Limit excessive caffeine intake on the day of your appointment and continue to stay well hydrated. * Wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing, as you will need to change into the massage suit before treatment. * Avoid applying body lotions, oils or fake tan to the treatment area on the day of your appointment. * Inform your practitioner if you have recently undergone surgery, cosmetic procedures or body contouring treatments, as these may affect your suitability for treatment. * Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, current medications, pregnancy status or allergies before your appointment. * If you have an active infection, fever, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), uncontrolled heart or kidney disease, open wounds, severe swelling of unknown cause or any new medical condition, please contact the clinic before your appointment, as treatment may need to be postponed or may not be suitable. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your health, discuss your treatment goals and confirm your suitability for the Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to help improve lymphatic flow, reduce fluid retention, support recovery, improve circulation and enhance your overall wellbeing and body contouring results.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes a comprehensive assessment, discussion of your health and treatment goals, and a personalised Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. FREE Telephone Consultation – Ideal if you'd like to learn more about the treatment, discuss your concerns and ask any initial questions before booking. If you decide to proceed with treatment, we'll recommend the most suitable consultation option based on your individual needs, health history and the results you would like to achieve.

A consultation is an essential part of your Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your health, discuss your concerns and determine whether the treatment is suitable for you. We will review your: Medical history and current medications. General health and lifestyle. Previous body contouring or massage treatments. Areas you would like to target. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how the Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit works, discuss the expected benefits, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. This ensures the treatment is safe, appropriate and tailored to your individual needs. During your consultation, the treatment areas may be assessed and measured, and photographs may be taken (with your consent) to monitor your progress throughout your treatment course. For your appointment, we recommend wearing or bringing loose, comfortable clothing. You should also stay well hydrated before your treatment, as this helps support the body's natural lymphatic drainage process. Every client is different, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual goals. Whether you're looking to reduce fluid retention, support post-treatment recovery, improve circulation, ease tired or heavy legs, or enhance your body contouring results, your Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit treatment will be tailored to help you achieve the best possible outcome safely and effectively.

For your Lymphatic Drainage Massage Suit appointment, we recommend wearing light, comfortable clothing that allows you to relax throughout the treatment. Thin leggings, gym wear, shorts or a lightweight T-shirt are ideal, as they fit comfortably beneath the compression suit. Please avoid bulky clothing, thick fabrics, belts or restrictive garments, as these may affect the fit and comfort of the suit. Comfortable underwear and moisture-wicking fabrics are recommended for the best experience. We strongly encourage you to arrive well hydrated and continue drinking plenty of water after your treatment to support lymphatic flow and help maximise the benefits of the massage suit. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable garments, towels and gowns are available when required. Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing and are able to return to normal activities immediately afterwards.

Yes. Many clients choose the treatment before holidays, weddings or special events to help reduce feelings of bloating and improve comfort.

No. The treatment uses compression to encourage lymphatic flow and reduce fluid retention. It does not physically remove fat cells.

Lymphatic drainage can support wellbeing and reduce fluid retention, but it cannot offset an unhealthy diet or lifestyle.

Some clients notice an increased need to urinate after treatment as excess fluid is naturally processed by the body, which is a normal response.

Your body already has organs such as the liver and kidneys that naturally process and remove waste products. The treatment is designed to support lymphatic circulation and fluid movement rather than act as a "detox cure."

The treatment may help reduce temporary fluid retention and bloating, but it is not a weight loss treatment. Any reduction in measurements is typically related to fluid movement rather than fat loss.

Lymphatic Drainage Machine Therapy typically treats large areas of the body including the legs, abdomen, arms and lower body using a specialised compression suit. This allows the treatment to stimulate lymph flow across multiple areas at the same time.

The lymphatic system benefits from regular stimulation to maintain healthy fluid movement and detoxification. A course of Lymphatic Drainage Machine Therapy treatments helps encourage consistent lymph flow, which can improve overall wellbeing and help reduce fluid retention over time.

Lymphatic Drainage Machine Therapy can be performed weekly or as part of a regular wellness routine. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate treatment schedule based on your individual needs.

Some clients notice benefits after a single session, however a course of treatments is often recommended for optimal results. For long-term goals like reducing inflammation, managing post-surgical swelling or improving body contouring results, a series of 6-12 sessions spaced 1-3 times per week is often recommended. Your practitioner may recommend a treatment plan depending on your goals and how your body responds to the treatment.

Lymphatic Drainage Machine Therapy can help reduce fluid retention, improve circulation and support the body’s natural detox processes. Many clients report feeling lighter, less bloated and more energised after treatment. It can also support muscle recovery and reduce swelling.

Lymphatic Drainage Machine Therapy is a very comfortable and relaxing treatment. Clients typically experience a gentle squeezing sensation as the compression suit inflates and deflates. Most people find the treatment calming and soothing.

While the therapy is not a primary weight-loss treatment for fat, it is highly effective at reducing water weight and bloating. By eliminating excess fluid, you will feel lighter and may see immediate inch-loss and better definition, which complements any diet and exercise plan beautifully.

Yes, absolutely. Lymphatic drainage is frequently recommended by surgeons to manage and reduce post-operative swelling and bruising, particularly after cosmetic procedures like liposuction or tummy tucks. Be sure to inform us of your surgery date and follow your surgeon's specific timing instructions.

The machine therapy (Pressotherapy) is designed to mimic and enhance the effects of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). While MLD uses the precise touch of a therapist, the machine provides consistent, measurable, and uniform pressure across a larger area, ensuring a deep and thorough treatment that is highly effective for systemic fluid mobilization.

A typical Lymphatic Drainage Machine Therapy session usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The duration may be adjusted based on the specific treatment area or your practitioner's protocol.

The experience is relaxing and comfortable. You will feel a rhythmic, wave-like compression starting at your extremities (like your feet) and moving upward. The sensation is like a gentle, systematic squeeze—it is not painful or jarring, and many clients find it so soothing they often fall asleep.
