Get your surgeon's clearance
Confirm with your surgeon that you are cleared for hands-on lymphatic work before your first appointment — most clients begin within the first days they're cleared.
Before Your First Session
A few simple steps make a real difference.
These small preparations help your first drainage session go smoothly and comfortably.
Wear your compression garment
Arrive in loose, easy-to-remove clothing and bring your compression garment with you so it can be reapplied after your session.
Hydrate before you arrive
Drink water throughout the day before your visit. A well-hydrated body moves fluid more efficiently during drainage work.
Eat something light beforehand
A light meal an hour or two before your session helps you stay comfortable while lying still during treatment.
Between Visits
What to do once you leave the suite.
Consistency between sessions is what helps swelling resolve evenly and keeps your results on track.
Keep your compression on
Wear your compression garment as directed between sessions — it supports the drainage work and helps your results hold.
Keep drinking water
Staying hydrated between visits keeps the lymphatic system moving and supports smoother, more even healing.
Prioritize gentle movement and rest
Short, gentle walks support circulation, while adequate rest gives your body the energy it needs to heal.
