It is important for you to fully complete your Health History form and keep your massage therapist up to date on your condition.
Be sure to let your massage therapist know if you have:
Many health conditions may require gentler forms of massage therapy, or more specialized techniques and treatment plans. In many cases, your massage therapist may be able to develop a treatment plan that will work for you and your health situation.
Even some prescribed or over-the-counter medications can contraindicate receiving certain types of massage therapy. Be sure to list any medications you are taking and inform your therapist of any changes since your last visit.
In some situations, your massage therapist may request your physician's consent and recommendations before performing massage.
Manual Lymph Drainage (commonly referred to as MLD) is a gentle/light-pressure, non-intrusive, therapeutic form of soft-tissue mobilization which is designed to dramatically enhance lymph formation and promote drainage within the superficial and deep systems of the lymph vascular network. It is not massage in the traditional sense, rather it is a “systemic, rhythmic method of purposefully stretching and releasing the skin to produce an increase in volume of flow of the lymph fluid through the filtering system of the body.” (American Massage Therapy Association)
The therapy is widely used today for those individuals who experience lymphedema due to cancer treatment and the removal of lymph nodes, and is increasingly used for those who have recently undergone cosmetic surgery.
Manual Lymph Drainage is NOT deep tissue massage. It is NOT pushing fluid out of unhealed incisions. It does NOT involve the use of oils or creams, and it does NOT involve the use of wooden or other tools. Oils, creams and tools (cups, brushes, wood tools, electronic devices) may be useful further along in the healing process for post-surgical clients as supplemental services to treat specific concerns; however these are not part of standard manual lymph drainage. Manual Lymph Drainage requires the use of the therapist’s hands. If your therapist is primarily using tools and devices and not their hands, they are not providing manual lymph drainage.
When skillfully applied, MLD effectively reduces traumatic and post-surgical swelling/edema, and can provide symptomatic relief of migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), stress, fatigue, and more. MLD also induces general relaxation and detoxification.
Absolutely! Manual Lymph Drainage is commonly used for general wellness and to treat cosmetic issues such as bloat, cellulite, and rosacea.
People with the following conditions should not get MLD:

Venus Legacy uses a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields to deliver heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This helps to increase collagen and elastin production, which can improve skin laxity and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Additionally, the heat energy can also break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
No.
Venus Legacy and ultrasound cavitation machines are two different types of devices that are used for body contouring and skin tightening. While both have their own unique benefits, Venus Legacy has several advantages over ultrasound cavitation machines.
Here are some reasons why Venus Legacy may be considered better than an ultrasound cavitation machine:
Overall, Venus Legacy's use of multiple technologies, safety, versatility, comfort, and comprehensive results make it a better option than ultrasound cavitation machines for many people seeking body contouring and skin tightening treatments.
Venus Legacy can be used to treat various areas of the body including the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, buttocks, and even the face and neck. It is a versatile technology that can be used to target specific areas of concern and help patients achieve their desired body shape.
Venus Legacy is a safe and FDA-approved treatment for body contouring. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but these side effects typically resolve on their own within a few hours.
The number of Venus Legacy sessions needed to see results can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. However, most clients typically require anywhere between 6 to 10 treatments (spaced a week apart) to achieve optimal results. During your initial consultation, your provider can recommend a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
The results of Venus Legacy can be long-lasting with proper maintenance. However, the longevity of the results can vary depending on factors such as age, lifestyle, and genetics. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help to prolong the results of Venus Legacy treatments. Your provider will also recommend follow-up treatments as needed to help maintain your desired body shape.
The effectiveness of the treatments increases over time, so even after completing your final session, you can expect to see further improvements in your results for approximately three to four months.
