Your body retains what it does not need. Lymphatic Drainage takes care of that.
Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle and precise massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system — the body's natural drainage network. Through constant movements and light pressure, it activates lymphatic circulation, promoting the elimination of toxins, excess fluids and metabolic waste accumulated in the tissues.

It is one of the most sought-after techniques for those who feel their body is heavy, swollen or suffering from fluid retention — and one of the most effective for visible and lasting results.

In Ílhavo, each session is carried out by appointment and adapted to your specific needs. Book your session now — and feel your body lighter from the very first time.

What this technique treats
- Fluid retention and swelling: visible and lasting reduction
- Accumulation of toxins — general detoxification of the body
- Cellulite: improvement of skin texture and appearance
- Poor circulation: stimulation of lymphatic and blood flow
- Post-operative recovery: accelerates healing and reduces oedema
- Fatigue and feeling of heaviness: immediate lightness after the session

How it works
The movements of Lymphatic Drainage are gentle, rhythmic and of controlled pressure — completely different from a deep muscle massage. This lightness is intentional: the lymphatic system is close to the surface of the skin and responds best to gentle and precise stimulation. Each movement follows the natural direction of lymphatic flow, guiding excess fluids towards the lymph nodes where they are processed and eliminated by the body.

Book your session now — and restore the balance your body deserves.

Price Includes
- Lymphatic Drainage session of 30 or 60 minutes
- Initial assessment of areas of greatest retention

1. What is Lymphatic Drainage and how does it differ from other massages?
A: Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system — the body's natural drainage network. Unlike deep muscle massages, the movements are light, rhythmic and precise, following the natural direction of lymphatic flow. The goal is to promote the elimination of toxins, excess fluids and metabolic waste accumulated in the tissues.

2. What problems is Lymphatic Drainage indicated for?
A: It is especially indicated for fluid retention and swelling, accumulation of toxins, cellulite, poor circulation, post-operative recovery and feelings of heaviness and fatigue. It is also widely sought as a complement to aesthetic body treatments.

3. Is the massage painful?
A: No. Lymphatic Drainage is one of the gentlest massages available — the movements are of very light pressure and completely painless. This lightness is intentional, as the lymphatic system responds best to gentle and precise stimulation.

4. How often should I have Lymphatic Drainage?
A: For more consistent aesthetic and wellbeing results, a weekly frequency is recommended during an initial period of 4 to 8 weeks. For maintenance, a monthly or fortnightly session is sufficient. In a post-operative context, the frequency is defined on a case by case basis.

5. When will I feel the results?
A: Many people feel their body lighter and less swollen immediately after the first session. More visible results — reduction of cellulite, improved circulation and elimination of fluid retention — become more evident with regular sessions over time.

6. Are there any contraindications for Lymphatic Drainage?
A: Yes. The technique is not recommended in cases of acute infections, thrombosis, severe heart failure or untreated malignant tumours. If in doubt, consult your doctor before booking a session.

7. Is any preparation needed before the session?
A: It is recommended to arrive well hydrated — water enhances the effects of drainage. Avoid heavy meals immediately before and stay hydrated after the session to maximise the elimination of toxins.

8. How do I make a booking?
A: Sessions are by appointment. You can book directly through the WOU registration form or contact us via WhatsApp.
