Our Specialist Lymphatic Services Near Purley
Lymphedema & Lipedema Support - From £95
A deeply soothing, highly specialised manual drainage therapy engineered specifically for clients managing the swelling, tissue stiffness, and aching heaviness associated with chronic lymphoedema or lipoedema. By re-routing stagnant lymph fluid toward healthy, functioning lymph vessels, this treatment provides substantial physical relief and daily comfort.
Best suited for: Diagnosed Lipoedema / Lymphoedema maintenance; heavy, swollen lower limbs; chronic fluid retention.
Medical Disclaimer: This service supports intrinsic lymphatic function and soft-tissue comfort; it is designed to work alongside, not replace, your primary oncology or vascular medical care.
Post-Surgery / Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage - From £120
The gold-standard post-surgical care protocol. Following an operation, the body’s lymphatic pathways are temporarily disrupted, leading to seromas, hardened tissue (fibrosis), bruising, and trapped fluid. Manual Lymphatic Drainage safely clears this interstitial debris, accelerates your natural healing timeline, and ensures your soft tissue heals smoothly. We tailor the pressure and staging strictly to your surgeon’s post-op guidelines.
Best suited for recovery from:
- Liposuction (VASER/Traditional)
- Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty)
- Breast Augmentation/Reduction
- Mommy Makeovers
- Orthopaedic or general surgical procedures.
Lymphatic Drainage for Detox & Bloating
A deeply restorative, full-body treatment targeting the superficial lymphatic network to pull excess fluid out of the tissues and push it back into the cardiovascular system for natural elimination. This session focuses heavily on the deep abdominal lymph pathways to stimulate peristalsis, tackle stubborn water weight, and leave you feeling noticeably lighter, de-puffed, and re-energised.
Best suited for: Post-travel/jet-lag fluid accumulation; hormonal water retention; persistent digestive bloating; general feeling of sluggishness.
Lymphatic Fat Drainage / Body Contouring - From £110
A targeted, firmer variation of manual drainage that pairs traditional MLD with light contouring sweeps. Designed to address stubborn pockets of trapped interstitial fluid that mimic or exacerbate the appearance of cellulite. By clearing the skin’s microcirculation, this session smooths the silhouette, tightens the appearance of the skin, and serves as the ultimate maintenance tool following a fat-loss regimen.
Best suited for:
Enhancing natural body contours; post-cryolipolysis (fat freezing) or cavitation aftercare; smoothing stubborn, puffy tissue.
Facial Lymphatic Drainage - From £75
A feather-light, exceptionally soothing treatment focused entirely on the delicate lymph nodes of the face, jawline, and supraclavicular (neck) region. By encouraging the rapid drainage of excess lymph, this treatment acts as a natural, instant “face-lift, sharpening the jawline, brightening tired skin, and relieving the painful pressure of blocked sinuses.
Best suited for: Pre-wedding or special event skin prep; reducing under-eye bags; alleviating sinus pressure or tension headaches.

Lymphatic Draining Massage FAQs
What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, clinically developed skin-stretching massage technique. Unlike standard deep-tissue massage, which targets muscles, MLD applies ultra-light, rhythmic pressure to stimulate the microscopic lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin’s surface. This encourages the natural, one-way flow of lymph fluid, speeding up the removal of metabolic waste, excess water, and cellular toxins from the body tissues.
Does massage help lymphatic drainage?
What is lymphatic drainage massage good for?
MLD is clinically proven to reduce post-surgical swelling and bruising, ease the painful, heavy symptoms of chronic lymphoedema and lipoedema, resolve severe digestive bloating, and flush out stagnant water retention. Because the lymphatic system governs the body’s immune response, a dedicated session also serves as a powerful systemic reset for individuals suffering from chronic stress, brain fog, or post-viral fatigue.
What does a lymphatic drainage massage do?
Physically, it acts as a manual pump for a system that possesses no central “heart” of its own. By manually opening the primary lymph catchments located in your neck, armpits, abdomen, and groin, the therapist creates a low-pressure vacuum. This pulls trapped, protein-rich fluid out of your congested soft tissues, filters it through your lymph nodes to destroy dead cells and bacteria, and delivers the clean fluid back into your bloodstream to be urinated out naturally.
How often should you have lymphatic drainage massage therapy?
- For Post-Surgery Recovery: We recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week for the first two weeks post-op to stay ahead of rapid scar-tissue formation (fibrosis) and seromas, tapering down to once a week for the following month.
- For General Detox & Bloating: One session every 4 to 6 weeks acts as an optimal biological “service” to keep your immune and digestive systems functioning at peak efficiency.
- For Lipoedema / Lymphoedema: A maintenance schedule of one 60-minute session every 2 to 4 weeks is standard to keep heavy limb swelling permanently minimised.
