Lymphatic Drainage Wollongong

At Aesthetic Artistry Skin, we use the Lympha Press Optimal Plus, an advanced pneumatic compression therapy system with overlapping chambers that apply gentle, sequential pressure across the legs, abdomen and upper body. We use the Lympha Pants and Lympha Jacket together to provide comprehensive compression and support lymphatic flow throughout the body.

For clients who prefer hands-on care, we also offer a 75-minute manual lymphatic drainage and body-sculpting treatment.

Lympha Press is an advanced pneumatic compression treatment that uses overlapping chambers to apply gentle, sequential pressure across the legs, abdomen and upper body. Manual lymphatic drainage is a personalised, hands-on treatment using gentle massage and body-sculpting techniques. We can help you choose the most suitable option for your body, goals and preferences.

To maximise the benefits:

• Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins
• Move gently (light walking helps keep fluids circulating)
• Practise slow, deep breathing to continue supporting lymphatic flow
• Eat clean, whole foods to support detoxification
• Avoid alcohol and processed foods for at least 24 hours
• Rest if needed, as your body continues to process the effects of the massage

Lymphatic massage is not a weight loss treatment, but it can help reduce water retention, bloating, and puffiness, making you feel lighter and more energised. It also supports detoxification, which can complement a healthy lifestyle.

The frequency of lymphatic drainage sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. A monthly session can help support detoxification and circulation for general wellness and maintenance. If you're addressing fluid retention, puffiness, or sluggish lymphatic flow, you may benefit from weekly or fortnightly sessions until your body reaches balance.

Your massage therapist will assess your needs and recommend a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve the best results. Regular sessions, proper hydration, and movement can enhance and prolong the benefits.

Our Lympha Press garments are suitable for clients up to approximately an Australian size 20. Correct garment fit is essential for comfortable, effective compression. If the garment does not fit safely, we can discuss whether our 75-minute manual lymphatic drainage treatment is a more appropriate option.

Lymphatic drainage may benefit clients experiencing fluid retention, swelling, lymphoedema, lipoedema, heavy legs, puffiness or bloating. It may also support post-operative recovery following procedures such as liposuction or abdominoplasty. Medical or surgeon clearance may be required before treatment, particularly after surgery or when lymphoedema or another health condition has been diagnosed.

Suitability during pregnancy must be assessed individually, and medical clearance may be required. The Lympha Press manufacturer advises that the abdominal area should not be treated during pregnancy. Please contact the clinic before booking so we can determine whether an appropriate treatment option is available.

Health fund rebates for lymphatic drainage massage vary depending on your provider and the level of your extras cover. We recommend checking directly with your health fund to confirm your eligibility and rebate amount. We are happy to provide an invoice for your session upon request so you can submit an independent claim.

Lymphatic drainage services provided by our clinic are non-medical wellness treatments. They are not medical treatments, are not therapeutic massage, and are not intended for post-operative or post-surgical care. These services do not replace medical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.

All clients must be in suitable health at the time of their appointment. We reserve the right to decline, refuse, or discontinue treatment if a client presents with illness, infection, inflammation, fever, acute medical conditions, recent surgery, or any factor that, in our professional judgement, may pose a risk to the client or practitioner.

Appointments deemed unsuitable for treatment due to health or safety concerns may be refused on the day. This decision is made in the interest of client safety and practitioner duty of care and is final.

No. Both treatments are designed to be gentle and comfortable. Lympha Press creates a rhythmic compression sensation, while manual lymphatic drainage uses light, controlled movements. Pressure can be adjusted, and you should tell your therapist immediately if you experience pain, numbness or discomfort.
