Our Specialty
Two Powerful Techniques
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
A gentle, rhythmic technique that manually moves lymph fluid through the body — reducing swelling, clearing toxins, and supporting immune function. The pressure is much lighter than a regular massage, targeting the superficial lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin.
Best for:
- ·Post-surgical recovery (lipo, BBL, tummy tuck)
- ·Lymphedema and chronic swelling
- ·Bloating and fluid retention
- ·Immune system support
- ·General detox and wellness
Wood Massage (Maderotherapy)
Wooden instruments deliver deep, targeted pressure to break down cellulite, contour the body, and stimulate the lymphatic system. More intense than manual drainage, maderotherapy is a body sculpting treatment with the added benefit of lymph stimulation.
Best for:
- ·Cellulite reduction
- ·Body contouring and slimming
- ·Skin firming and tightening
- ·Lymph stimulation and circulation
- ·Post-surgical body shaping
Post-Surgical Specialty
Post-Surgery Lymphatic Massage

FAQs
Lymphatic Massage Questions
What is lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, specialized technique that manually stimulates the lymphatic system — the network of vessels responsible for removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. It reduces swelling, boosts immunity, and supports the body's natural detox processes.
Who needs lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic massage is beneficial for anyone recovering from surgery (especially plastic surgery), people with lymphedema or chronic swelling, those with autoimmune conditions, and anyone who wants to reduce bloating and support their body's natural detox.
Is post-surgery lymphatic massage safe?
Yes — when performed by a certified therapist who understands post-surgical protocols. Our lymphatic massage therapists are certified in post-surgical lymphatic drainage and understand the correct timing, pressure, and techniques for safe recovery massage.
How soon after surgery can I get lymphatic massage?
Timing depends on your surgeon's recommendations and the procedure. Many surgeons recommend starting lymphatic massage 1–2 weeks post-op. Always get clearance from your surgeon before booking.
How many lymphatic massage sessions do I need?
For post-surgical recovery, most clients need 3–8 sessions spaced 1–3 days apart in the early recovery period. For general wellness and detox, monthly sessions are typical. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your goals.
What is wood massage and how is it different from lymphatic massage?
Wood massage (maderotherapy) uses specially shaped wooden instruments to deliver deep pressure for body contouring, cellulite reduction, and lymph stimulation. It's more intense than manual lymphatic drainage and focuses more on sculpting and firming. Both are available at Bare, and can be combined in a session.
