Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage

What Is Facial Lymphatic Drainage?

Your lymphatic system helps move excess fluid and metabolic waste away from tissues. Unlike blood circulation, it relies heavily on movement, breathing, and gentle rhythmic stimulation.

Facial MLD uses light, precise strokes to encourage drainage pathways and reduce congestion. The result is often a face that looks:

 

• less swollen
  
• brighter
  
• calmer
  
• more defined
  

 

Many clients also describe feeling deeply relaxed, because gentle facial work can support nervous system down-regulation.

Basic Face Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A gentle, light-pressure facial treatment focused on stimulating lymphatic flow to reduce puffiness, congestion and fluid retention in the face. This treatment supports the body’s natural drainage pathways, helping the face feel lighter, clearer and refreshed.

Ideal as a maintenance session, a quick reset, or for clients new to facial lymphatic drainage. Pressure is soft and rhythmic, making it deeply calming and supportive for both the face and nervous system.

Best for:   Facial puffiness and fluid retention, under-eye and cheek swelling, sinus congestion and heavy facial feeling (non-medical support) post-travel or end-of-day facial fatigue, regular lymphatic maintenance.

Sculpt + Drain – Face

De-puff. Sculpt. Define.

A full 60-minute facial sculpting ritual combining lymphatic drainage with hands-on lifting, contouring and facial massage techniques.

The treatment works through the neck, décolletage, jawline, cheeks and facial contours, beginning with lymphatic preparation before moving into more focused sculpting and lifting massage.

Faster rhythmic movements are combined with slower drainage techniques, targeted jaw work and professional facial sculpting tools. Gua sha and other tools may also be incorporated depending on your individual treatment.

Professional facial oils and skincare are selected to provide glide and complement the massage.

Sculpt + Drain Face is ideal if you wake with facial puffiness, feel particularly full around the cheeks or jawline, want to enhance your natural facial contours or simply want a fresh, rested and more defined appearance.

Cranial Lymphatic Reset

A deeply restorative treatment focused primarily on the scalp, head and cranial structures, designed to release tension while supporting lymphatic flow through the neck and facial drainage pathways.

The treatment begins with gentle lymphatic activation through the clavicle and cervical lymph nodes to prepare the body’s natural drainage pathways. Light facial lymphatic techniques may be used to support fluid movement through the face and neck.

The main focus of the session is the scalp and cranial region. Warm oils are applied to the scalp and worked through slow, rhythmic massage techniques that target areas where tension is commonly stored, including the crown, temples and the occipital region at the base of the skull.

Cranial massage techniques, scalp tools and pressure point work help release tight fascia across the scalp while encouraging lymphatic movement through the occipital and cervical drainage pathways. These areas are closely connected to tension headaches, jaw clenching, screen fatigue and stress-related holding patterns. As well as a light drainage of the face.

A warm towel infusion allows the scalp to absorb the nourishing oils before the treatment finishes with calming lymphatic strokes through the neck and shoulders to support complete drainage.

This treatment is ideal for clients who love scalp massage and want a deeply relaxing therapy that focuses on the head, while also supporting facial drainage and overall nervous system relaxation.

Best for:

Stress and nervous system overload, scalp tension, headaches or migraines, (supportive, non-medical), sinus pressure and clients who enjoy deeply relaxing scalp massage.

Buccal Sculpt (Intra-Oral Facial Sculpting)

A deeper, more specialised facial treatment combining external lymphatic drainage with intra-oral buccal massage (performed inside the mouth). This allows access to deeper facial muscles that are often responsible for jaw tension, facial tightness and lower-face heaviness.

Buccal sculpting helps release chronic muscle holding patterns, improve facial balance and support a more relaxed, lifted appearance. This treatment is especially beneficial for clients who clench their jaw or hold stress in the face.

This treatment combines full face lymphatic drainage, intra-oral buccal massage, Gua Sea sculpting and micro current to deeply release tension, reduce fluid and enhance facial contours.

Best for:

Jaw tension and clenching, TMJ discomfort (supportive, non-medical), tight masseter muscles, facial asymmetry linked to muscle tension, lower-face heaviness or compression, stress-related facial holding patterns

60 minutes | £90

Not Sure Which to Choose?

Basic Face MLD – i f your main concern is puffiness or congestion

Sculpting & Shaping – To reduce puffiness and congestion but also if you want visible lift and contour

Cranial Lymphatic Reset - if your main concern is scalp tension, tension headaches, migraines, & relaxation.

Buccal Sculpt – If you want everything with extra  jaw tension release or facial tightness is your priority

Lymphatic Support Taping (Face Add-On) 

Lymphatic support taping helps extend the benefits of your facial drainage treatment after you leave the clinic.

Specialist kinesiology tape is gently applied to areas of the face to lightly lift the skin and encourage natural fluid movement through the lymphatic system.

This can help reduce facial puffiness, under-eye swelling and heaviness around the jawline, while supporting the body’s natural drainage process for the next 24–72 hours.

The tape is lightweight, flexible and designed to move comfortably with the skin. Most clients quickly forget they are even wearing it while it continues supporting the drainage process.
