The number of sessions varies based on your goals. Post-surgery clients may need multiple sessions over a few weeks, while others might benefit from periodic treatments for maintenance or relaxation.

Side effects are rare but may include temporary fatigue or increased urination as your body eliminates toxins. Ensure you’re hydrated before and after the session.

Lymphatic massage is generally safe but may not be suitable for people with:
