Lymphatic drainage is a hands-on technique becoming well-known for its detoxifying effects. But … can it aid in acne treatment?
Acne arises from clogged pores due to dead skin cells, oil, or bacteria. Its triggers vary from stress and hormonal imbalances to poor sleep and diet. The lymphatic system helps regulate fluid balance and removes toxins and waste from our body. Dysfunction in the lymphatic system can manifest in various symptoms, including swelling, lethargy, and skin conditions like hormonal acne. It’s important to remember that adequate hydration, healthy lifestyle and exercise facilitate the lymphatic system’s detoxification process, eliminating cellular waste from the body and assisting in keeping our skin healthy.
How Lymphatic Drainage Can Help
Manual lymphatic drainage to the face (or other areas of the body – ie. back) targets the lymphatic system to alleviate skin concerns like acne. These soothing treatments use specialized, gentle movements to stimulate lymph flow, clearing out any congestion and waste from the area which allows proper nutrients and oxygen to circulate. Regular manual lymphatic drainage can be highly beneficial in resolving skin issues like puffiness, dryness and acne.
What to Expect During Treatment
Performed by trained professionals, manual lymphatic drainage to the neck and face is very soothing and non-invasive. Lymph drainage to the face will promote circulation, oxygenation, and acne healing. Post-treatment, individuals may experience a heightened sense of relaxation. Hydration is vital to aid toxin removal.
