Do you want to get a toned face without using any cream, lotion, serum or going under the knife? Get a manual lymph drainage or MLD facial done. Don't believe it, read on... Medically termed as a face lift without cosmetic surgery, MLD Facial is a wonder therapy that instantly peps up your facial muscles making them taut. To understand manual lymph drainage lets understand a bit about the role of lymph in our body. We have an equal amount of this white fluid in our body as blood. And it plays a very important role in eliminating waste like unwanted fats, bacteria and other substances by filtering them. It also is responsible for the circulation of fresh white blood cells throughout our body. This lymph is stored in lymph nodes that are scattered in our entire body. These nodes filter the lymph which flows back into the bloodstream. When lymph gets blocked or accumulated it causes the whole body to feel tired and heavy and prone to illness. So, it is important to stimulate these nodes to enhance the process of lymph circulation. An MLD facial activates these lymph nodes on the face which results in eliminating excess fluid with waste products. This eventually results in a cleaner and clearer skin. The MLD massage is done gently with precise pressure and rhythmic circular movements. Depending on the persons specific needs, the number of sessions required are decided. Deep thumb pressure of shiatsu combined with the relaxing techniques of the Swedish massage give a relaxing effect. This massage is done without any oils or creams. At the most a little talcum powder may be used if the skin is sticky. Another important benefit of MLD is that it reduces swelling or puffiness of the face. It is highly effective in treating sinus problems and makes you look younger by reducing wrinkles. This facial can be safely done even up to thrice in a week, say doctors. But it is best to get it done from a thorough professional. So, have you booked your appointment already?
