Description
Lymphatic massage helps to reduce and prevent swelling, eliminate waste products and boost immunity.
Lymphatic massage is recommended for the treatment of swelling, scars, leg ulcers, and before and after plastic surgery. It is also recommended if you suffer from chronic lymphatic drainage disorders or rheumatic diseases. Lymphatic drainage prevents hair loss and helps relieve migraines and acne.
