The benefits of facial lymphatic drainage and how it helps with skin radiance

Dull complexion, bags under the eyes, tired features… These everyday signs are often linked to poor lymphatic circulation.

Facial lymphatic drainage is a gentle and natural technique that restarts circulation, detoxifies tissues and instantly restores radiance and lightness to the face.

At Oxygenéa, this anti-aging and revitalizing treatment is one of the most requested, because it works deep down while providing a feeling of absolute relaxation.

Let's discover together how facial lymphatic drainage transforms your skin, from the inside out.

What is facial lymphatic drainage?

Facial lymphatic drainage is a gentle manual technique aimed at stimulating the circulation of lymph , the clear fluid that circulates under the skin.

Lymph transports toxins and cellular waste to the lymph nodes, where they are naturally eliminated by the body.

Over time, stress, lack of sleep, or an unbalanced diet can slow down this circulation. As a result:

• accumulation of toxins,
  

• facial swelling
  

• dark circles and bags under the eyes,
  

• dull complexion.
  
  

Facial lymphatic drainage therefore reactivates this natural purification process , restoring the face's full radiance.

The origins and principles of this method

Lymphatic drainage was developed in the 1930s by Emil Vodder , a Danish biologist.

His technique is based on slow, precise and rhythmic movements , performed with the palm and fingers, always in the direction of lymphatic circulation.

On the face, these gestures aim to:

• decongest the tissues ,
  

• stimulate microcirculation ,
  

• reactivate cell regeneration .
  
  

At Oxygenéa , this method is adapted for the face to act specifically on sensitive areas: eye contour, jawline, cheeks and forehead.
