The treatment

What lymphatic drainage is — and why it works.

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.

Questions

Lymphatic Drainage, answered.

When can I start lymphatic drainage after surgery?

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.

Is lymphatic drainage a deep massage?

No — correct MLD is very light. If it feels deep, it isn't reaching the lymphatic layer. Expect gentle, rhythmic, almost hypnotic strokes.

How many sessions will I need?

Post-op protocols typically run 6–12 sessions. For general depuffing, many clients feel a clear difference after one and book weekly or biweekly.

Do you serve post-op clients in Burbank and Glendale?

Yes — Burbank and Glendale are core service areas, along with the wider San Fernando Valley, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Los Angeles.
