Wellness by Marusa · Los Angeles
Gentle, rhythmic drainage — move fluid, reduce swelling, recover faster.

The treatment
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) uses light, rhythmic, directional strokes to move lymph fluid toward the nodes that process it. It is nothing like deep massage — the touch is feather-light by design, because the lymphatic vessels sit just beneath the skin.
It's the standard of care after cosmetic surgery — BBL, liposuction, facial procedures — and equally powerful for everyday puffiness, bloating, travel swelling, and sluggish recovery. Marusa maps each session to your body's drainage pathways.
Benefits
The session
Fit
For post-op recovery clients (with surgeon clearance), chronic puffiness or bloating, pre-event depuffing, frequent flyers, and anyone whose body feels heavy and stagnant.
Available by appointment to clients in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, and North Hollywood across the San Fernando Valley, plus Burbank, Glendale, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and greater Los Angeles.
Questions
Most surgeons clear MLD within one to two weeks post-op — always confirm with your surgeon first, and bring their guidance to your first session.
No — correct MLD is very light. If it feels deep, it isn't reaching the lymphatic layer. Expect gentle, rhythmic, almost hypnotic strokes.
Post-op protocols typically run 6–12 sessions. For general depuffing, many clients feel a clear difference after one and book weekly or biweekly.
Yes — Burbank and Glendale are core service areas, along with the wider San Fernando Valley, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Los Angeles.
