Our patients have been enjoying HydraFacial treatments for several years now, and it has quickly one of our favorite treatments at Advanced Aesthetics. Patients have come back with an overwhelming response of satisfaction regarding the glow and suppleness of their skin after their treatment.
How do we improve our patients’ satisfaction with the treatment you may ask? By talking about an exciting HydraFacial function called “mechanical lymphatic drainage.” During our platinum-level HydraFacial, patients get this extra level of care included with their treatment.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage or lymphatic massage is by no means a new idea. It has been used since the 1930s to aid lymph circulation to reduce edema and improve the immune system. According to Hydrafacial, it may have some skin health benefits, too:
“Just like your body, your skin needs detoxification too. Mechanical lymphatic drainage may help to remove toxins to support a healthy immune system. Removing toxic buildup is an important step toward skin health so skin can be healthy and radiant at its optimal level.”

How Does Hydrafacial Lymphatic Drainage Work?
HydraFacial’s lymphatic drainage treatment starts by gently opening the thoracic lymph nodes above your clavicle. Then, using the small HydraFacial handpiece, we perform light sweeping motions on the face to draw edema to the lymph nodes by the ears and down the neck.
What Does It Feel Like During & After Treatment?
This treatment uses such a soft touch to the face that it’s hard to believe anything is being done, but the lymph ducts require minimal touch to stimulate. In fact, if pressed too hard, the duct will compress, and nothing can flow through it, negating the whole point of performing mechanical lymphatic drainage. Patients report a relaxing sensation during treatment, and some see a slight reduction of puffiness to areas of the face afterward.
HydraFacials can also complement other skin treatments like laser skin rejuvenation and injectables for total skin revitalization. Request a VISIA skin analysis before your HydraFacial so you can see the difference this skin treatment can make to your overall skin health.
