​Manual Lymphatic Drainage   (unavailable at present)         

​Manual Lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a therapy designed to improve the functioning of the Lymphatic system. MLD is a gently rhythmical treatment which stimulates the lymphatic vessels to contract. This results in metabolic waste products and excess fluids being removed from the body's tissues and being reabsorbed by the Lymphatic system. This Lymphatic fluid is then passed through the Lymph nodes and cleansed of dead cells, bacteria and other toxins. The filtered Lymph is then returned to the blood stream.

MLD for the face ​is one of the most sought after facials. It has been described as a face lift without the cosmetic surgery. MLD hydrates the skin while working to eliminate excess fluid in the face. The stimulated Lymph vessels drain away the toxins absorbed from make-up, pollution. No products are applied to the skin and no machinery is used. MLD relies on the natural resources of the Lymphatic system to drain and replenish the skin leaving​ cleaner and clearer skin.
