Lymph Drainage is a particular technique of massage intended
to activate and cleanse the human fluid system. Since the lymph system itself
is responsible for the best functioning of the water circulation and immune
system, lymph drainage is a key to maximizing our ability to revitalize and to
establish resistance to stress and diseases.
When the skin withers, here the entire set of dermal
processes work which we observe as the natural ageing process and sometimes it
happens due to particular diseases in progress. The basic changes occur in the
hypodermic fatty tissues and deeper epidermis layers. And the process leaves
visible traces in the face. Fortunately, nowadays women can afford a wide range
of alternatives to solve this particular problem. The techniques to skin
rehabilitation include common physiological procedures as an alternative to
plastic surgery and deep cutaneous injections. One of the physiological
procedures is the facial lymph drainage.
As a unique massage, the facial lymph drainage is performed
to get rid of such cosmetic defects as baggy skin below the eyes, puffiness of
the facial shape, facial redness (if the reason is the impairment of the blood
flow in skin capillary but not the higher blood pressure), stagnation processes
in the system of lymph ways.
The preliminary reason for all the causes is the disturbance
of the normal outflow of biological fluids from the softer tissues of the face
and development of edema. Therefore the lymph drainage mainly works to
rehabilitate the normal lymph kinesis.
The general water retention in facial tissues is sometimes
confused with the obesity of the upper type when the fat is accumulated on the
upper layers of the body, on the face and neck predominantly. The people start keeping
to a diet then. Unfortunately, no special diet can help the person manage the
trouble with the lymph outflow and the pathology may appear with the gain of
weight and with normal weight, either. So, the facial lymph drainage is the best
solution to this problem which expresses in additional beneficial effects as
taking off fatigue, recovery of the metabolism in the epidermis, improvement of
oxygen and nutrients supply, normalization of the protective functions of the skin
integument. Improvement d metabolic skin reactions is the perfect preventive
measure to struggle with ageing. Besides, after the lymph drainage procedure is
done, the skin is too sensitive to nutritious and moisturizing creams and other
skin care products. Consequently, these cosmetic products get more efficient. Alongside
with it, the facial lymph drainage intensifies the efficiency of mechanisms of
the local immune system and topes up the mimic muscles which in its turn
stimulate removal of fine wrinkles. In some particular cases the cosmetologists
recommend that the facial lymph drainage is done prior to serious surgeries,
like plastic surgery. This significantly reduces the risk of complications and
side effects.
Lymph drainage as the method to stimulate the lymph system
was proposed in the middle of the previous century. In the modern medical
practice through several improvement stages the facial lymph drainage is the equipment-based
technique when the skin is exposed to the low-frequency alternate current. Consequently,
lymph drainage of the dace should be performed in specific beauty salons.
Before the procedure is done, the skin is cleansed from all
cosmetic products and peeling is recommended with the considerable thickening
of the upper corneal layer. At the next stage the special electrodes are fixed
to the skin which is connected to the current generator. In regards to the evidence
of edema and its reasons, the lymph drainage procedure may vary in the time
period, lasting from ten to forty minutes. The total course consists of
ten-fifteen procedures and is done two to three times a week. The cost of the
procedure matters, of course. The course costs around one hundred to one
hundred and fifty American dollars for the entire course, and this procedure is
affordable to many people.
One should make sure that some people have contraindications
to lymph drainage procedures, including inflammation of lymph nodes, neoplasm, acute
or chronic diseases, pathological skin changes, tuberculosis and some other
diseases.
