Lymphatic drainage face and body massage
Lymphatic drainage facial and body massage in Yerevan, Armenia is a specialized type of massage that helps in maintaining the balance of body fluids, circulation and immune mechanisms. The network of vessels and nodes of the system contains lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, components of the immune system, waste products and other remnants of cellular metabolism. Lymph nodes that filter out toxins are found throughout the body, especially large groups of them in the neck, armpits, and groin. During a lymphatic drainage massage in Yerevan, Armenia, a specially trained massage therapist uses a series of sliding, squeezing, stretching movements over the body and face. Gentle rhythmic movements, used without massage oil, stimulate the lymphatic system without constricting the vessels, allowing the lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. The first data on lymphatic drainage massage appeared in the 1930s, when Emil and Estrid Vodder developed the science of lymphology.

In the 1970s, German professors Michael and Etelka Foeldi built a clinic to receive patients and train therapists. At his Arizona School of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT), French physician Bruno Chikly expanded on the treatments.

Today, men and women are incorporating lymphatic drainage massage into their skin care and wellness routines, given its detoxifying and aesthetic properties. The LDM technique is effective for pain relief, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, skin conditions (such as acne and rosacea), cellulite, allergies, headaches, etc.

It is also used after cosmetic surgery to reduce swelling. LDM has become a very popular spa treatment for skin care, detoxification, stress reduction, and there is even a specific type used for facial rejuvenation.
