let's talk lymphatic drainage and slimming


From Hands on Manual Lymph Drainage to Cavitational Lymphatic Drainage… I’m sure you are asking yourself “What is the Difference”, “Why would I need this?” “Is it Safe?” and the list goes on. Well let me inspire you and help you make informed decisions about your health.


YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM


Lymph is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to be recirculated.


Lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system that moves a fluid called lymph through vessels, tissues, and organs. It drains extra fluid from tissues and returns it to the bloodstream. It also helps fight infection by providing lymphocytes, a type of disease-fighting cells.


Lymph nodes are small structures that work as filters for harmful substances. They contain immune cells that can help fight infection by attacking and destroying germs that are carried in through the lymph fluid.


WHAT IS LYMPH DRAINAGE & WHY YOUR BODY NEEDS IT:


Your lymphatic system does not have a pump like your heart to push it around the body, so the clear fluid LYPMH (which is poor in proteins, rich in fat) that flows through your body’s arteries and tissues to clean them prior to draining it out through ones lymphatic system depends on your body’s activities to maintain the fluid movement. One’s lymphatic glands are like small kidneys that filter the lymphatic liquid. Over time our bodies absorb toxins, processed foods (chemical additives, preservatives, artificial colouring, and flavours which lead to poor diets and an unhealthy lifestyle. These toxins eventually overflow causing blockages. Radiation therapy is another trigger to blockages as it causes inflammation and scarring on our lymph nodes.


Our bodies from head to toe are made up of living cells that require oxygen and food to be able to function. Your blood is a tissue in a liquid form that feeds through Red Blood cells=Oxygen, White blood cells=defences, Platelets = prevent bleeding and Fibrin

Our lymphatic system is an enormous part of our immune system so if this becomes clogged and blocked then our lymphatic fluid will not flow freely, this in turn compromises your immune system and allows toxins to build up resulting in symptom failure which can lead to infections and disease.


HOW WOULD ONE KNOW IF THEIR BODY’S LYMPHATIC SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED/BLOCKED:


· Constant Bloating in the lower abdomen.

· Sapped Energy and continual Fatigue.

· Weight Gain and difficulty in losing, no matter the diets you follow and salads you eat.

· Cerebral Brain Fog due to unhealthy blood cell flow within your brain and elimination of toxins. (Remember our bodies and minds talk)

· Swollen Lymph Glands (which would need to be diagnosed by a doctor prior to any form of Lymphatic Treatment)

· Swelling in face, fingers, arms, legs, feet, toes

· Parasites (Yes we all have them however that’s a whole new Topic)

· Gut and Digestive Issues

· Allergies

· Sinus block and infections

· Dry and Itchy Skin


WHAT WE USE:


VACUMTHERAPY & MANUAL LIGHT MASSAGE


Vacuum Bipolar RF (Radio Frequency) head. The Vacuum is a non-invasive treatment which, through suction and pressure breaks down excess fat cells, allowing them to release into fluids, draining the fatty tissue to the lymphatic system which in turn helps eliminate cellulite. Your fatty tissue contains fat cells, nerves, immune cells, and connective tissue. Its main job is to store and release energy, depending on the body’s needs. Through the suction work, we lift the cellulite away from the muscles encouraging more blood flow.


RADIO FREQUENCY – is a non-surgical energy technique that heats tissue and stimulates sub dermal collagen production. The results are reduction in fine lines and loose skin. By using radiofrequency energy, tissue fibres, dermal collagen fibres, and fat cells are heated superficially and deeply.


During this process, the connective tissue is softened and the production of new collagen is induced, improving the skin’s elasticity and resilience.

Cellular turnover makes the skin appear more elastic and youthful.




WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?


· Getting rid of hip, thigh, and buttock excess fat

· Blood circulation improved.

· Muscle tension relief

· Increased lymphatic circulation and toxin elimination.

· Improved skin firmness, elasticity, and tightness

· Inhibition of fat storage to get rid of cellulite.



FOR EXTRA SLIMMING RESULTS WE BRING IN ……….



CAVITATION:

A cavitation treatment is a non-invasive way to reduce weight without surgery to shape the body. It uses low frequency ultrasonic waves and heat, to produce minute bubbles in the water or small, narrow spaces between tissues or parts of an organ: which surrounds the fat cells. The disturbed water then causes a disintegration or burst of the fat cells in your skin’s underlying layers sending the Liquified substance into ones Lymphatic system without surgery or discomfort. In turn, body volume is reduced, cellulite and localized fat deposits are eliminated in the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, arms, calves and back. Fat turns from solid to liquid which is then metabolized and eliminated naturally by the human body through the lymphatic system, venous and finally filtered by the kidney and liver.


WHAT TO EXPECT/FEEL DURING TREATMENT

With cavitation you feel a tingling and slight buzzing in the ears with the radiofrequency, however, the sensation is a pleasant local heat. Cavitation along with Vacuum therapy is like a massage on the skin. The phases last approximately 1 hour depending on area of treatment. It is not an uncomfortable nor painful treatment.


HOW MANY SESSIONS WOULD YOU NEED FOR SLIMMING AND HOW SOON WOULD YOU SEE RESULTS?

It depends on each patient and areas to be treated, however, we would recommend 6-12 sessions to complete the treatment being held once or twice per week with at least 72-96 hours in-between sessions.


Results are immediate with some patients noticing a reduction of up to two sizes after two to three sessions only, others may take a little longer. Overall you will notice a substantial reduction in a relatively short time.


Just look at our page to see results after ONE or TWO sessions!!! Its outstanding:
