Lymphatic massage uses light, rhythmic movements that work gently with the body’s lymphatic system. Many people find it relaxing and comfortable. Each session is adapted to the individual client and their suitability.
Lymphatic drainage is one of the treatments available through our London massage service.
Lymphatic massage uses gentle, controlled techniques and is often chosen as part of a self-care routine. Sessions are tailored to each client’s preferences and suitability. It is not a medical treatment; please discuss any health concerns with a qualified healthcare professional.
How It Works Together:
Lymphatic Massage
- Uses gentle, rhythmic movements that work with the lymphatic system.
- May feel soothing and comfortable as part of a relaxation routine.
- Uses light techniques adapted to the individual client.
- Often described by clients as relaxing and refreshing.
✅ Medicinal Leech Therapy
- Traditional descriptions mention substances such as hyaluronidase and bdellins. These are not medical claims:
- Improve microcirculation
- Break down connective tissue tension
- May support the feeling of skin comfort
- Some people choose lymphatic massage as part of a general wellbeing routine. It is not a medical treatment and does not remove or cure cellulite.
Combined Benefits:
- Gentle technique: Lymphatic massage uses light, rhythmic movements.
- Relaxing experience: Many clients find the gentle movements comfortable.
- A refreshed feeling: Individual experiences vary, and no specific appearance change can be promised.

🌀 What a Dual Session Looks Like?
A dual session combining Medicinal Leech Therapy (MLT) and lymphatic massage follows a coordinated, gentle approach. Sessions are tailored to each client’s preferences and suitability.
1. Initial Consultation (15–20 mins)
- Your therapist assesses your skin condition, lymphatic health, and treatment goals (e.g., general comfort and wellbeing).
- Areas of focus are mapped—commonly thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or arms.
2. Medicinal Leech Therapy (30–45 mins)
- Sterile, medical-grade leeches are applied to targeted areas with cellulite or poor circulation.
- Sessions last around 20–40 minutes. Descriptions of substances released are traditional and are not medical claims.
- Once detached, the area may bleed lightly—this can occur as part of the process.
3. Lymphatic Drainage Massage (30–40 mins)
- After leech removal and dressing, a gentle manual massage begins, focusing on guiding lymph fluid toward drainage points.
- Techniques include light, rhythmic strokes that avoid disturbing the treated leech sites.
🌱 Key Benefits of a Combined Session:
- Gentle approach: The techniques used are light and rhythmic.
- Soothing experience: Often described by clients as relaxing.
- Comfort focused: The session is adapted to the individual client.
- Relaxation effect: Many clients report feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced.
