Lymphatic drainage: body pimp

Fashion changeable — each season she sets new trends in makeup, hairstyles and clothing. But in some conservative, healthy complexion, velvety skin and slim figure always was and will be the main decorations of women. And if there is a desire to preserve the natural beauty of the face and body, to correct faults, to speed recovery after plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures, that without him — lymphatic drainage — we can not do.

For the cleansing of the internal environment of the body meets the lymphatic system. That she brings from the intercellular spaces of excess fluid, which "resets" the remains of broken cells, microbes, viruses, toxins and end products of cell activity, and then eliminates the waste. If its work is disturbed, it immediately — and not in the best way affects the appearance. Is it worth it to put up with it?

Principal lymphatic drainage

1. HARDWARE — electromyostimulation, microcurrent therapy, therapy, therapy vibrovakuumnoy (LPG).

2. MANUAL — manual lymph drainage massage.

Of these, purified lymph gets into the blood stream. Full lymphatic system is one of the main conditions of our health, and it would seem that the system is designed so perfectly that the disruptions should not be. But it is not.

The Milky Way

In the middle of the XVI century, the Italian surgeon Gasparo Aseli first described the structure and function of the lymphatic system, calling it the milky vessels. Of course, since our knowledge in this area greatly expanded.

Lymph is the extracellular fluid. Washing the body's cells, it delivers the necessary substances, and cells in turn give her all the excess: waste products and toxins. With the lymph flow in the smallest capillaries, and then for larger vessels this "garbage" goes into a kind of filter — the lymph nodes, where to a large extent neutralized. Leaving them, the lymphatic vessels become larger, merge and form the so-called ducts.





Factors provocateurs

The lymphatic system differs from the circulatory, where blood flow provides a powerful "pump station" is heart. Lymph circulation in largely depends on contractions of skeletal and respiratory muscles, so the rate of lymph flow is significantly lower than the flow velocity. This is normal.

Bad, when the already slow flow of lymph becomes quite sluggish. This happens during inactivity (actively move at least four hours per day), and may be a consequence of age — over the years, the tone of muscles and vessels inevitably reduced.

Break free flow of lymph is capable of toxins. Due to unbalanced diet, Smoking and a bad environment in the intercellular space accumulates too many recyclable substances.

They mechanically clamp the lymphatic capillaries, and most of the liquid is prevented from leaving the tissue. Any injury — a bruise, cut, burn, plastic surgery damages the lymphatic vessels, and therefore, destabilizie the lymphatic system.

Direct beauty

What happens when the lymphatic system is unable to cope with their duties? The speed of lymph flow may be reduced compared to the normal eight times. If this situation persists long enough, there is a stagnation of lymph — lymphedema.

The result is not pretty: puffy face, swelling... However, this problem is not limited. Fluid retention and accumulation of toxins in the subcutaneous fat provoke the development of cellulite in the abdominal area, thighs and buttocks appears "orange peel".

Disruption of the lymphatic system affects the skin condition. Its cells are beginning to experience an acute shortage of nutrients and oxygen. Due to the fact that their waste products and other harmful substances in time are not removed from the body, the skin's ability to resist negative influences is reduced, and the process of aging accelerates. Acne, various skin eruptions, poor complexion, early wrinkles, premature sagging of the skin... All of this is often a result of issues that occurred in the system of the lymph.

The launch of the system

One way out — get it working using the so-called flow or lymphatic drainage. The procedure allows to eliminate the stagnation of lymph flow and to normalize its velocity for all vessels — from the smallest to the largest. In the end, the tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients, rid of excess interstitial fluid and toxins.

In aesthetic medicine, lymphatic drainage is widely used as a standalone, and as an auxiliary method. He is considered a key element of most programs to care for face, neck and décolleté, which provides a pronounced corrective effect and enhances the efficacy of cosmetic procedures. Without lymphatic drainage can be successful against cellulite, as the main condition for eliminating the "orange peel" — normalization of lymph flow in the subcutaneous fat.

Lymphatic drainage gives a nice effect combined with techniques weight loss: displays products of metabolism that are formed by cleavage of the fat, and improves excretory functions of the body. This kind of massage is prescribed after plastic surgery — facelift, blepharoplasty, abdomi-neoplastic and liposuction.

It allows to reduce the rehabilitation period: puffiness in the area of surgical intervention, reduces tissue tension and pain, helps to restore the skin sensitivity.





Handmade

Despite sophisticated technology and hardware massage, a classic of the genre remains a manual massage. Experienced professional hands relieves tension and spasms "layers" throughout the body, and on the surface, and deep tissue. And only then carries out the pumping of the lymphatic system.

The procedure (it lasts an hour and a half) extremely pleasant. Soft, light, undulating movement is so relaxing that most patients fall asleep during the session. This relaxing effect is due to the calming effect that lymphatic drainage massage has on the Central nervous system.

At first it may seem as if the therapist is not making any effort or carrying out a procedure superficial, but it is wrong. Lymphatic drainage is in any case should not be painful — a strong push and pressure can cause only harm.

All actions of a specialist is strictly sequential and is aimed at the normalization of the speed of lymph flow. By the way, this massage not only not contraindicated, but is recommended in patients with chronic venous insufficiency, as it promotes the outflow of blood from the lower extremities.

Patients who complete the full course of lymphatic drainage, noted that the swelling and the appearance of cellulite disappeared, the skin became more supple and elastic, and throughout the body there is a delightful ease.

Give a person in good hands

Lymphatic drainage massage of the face, neck and décolleté — is a pleasure and apparent benefit. Massage hands, moving from the center to the submandibular and mental lymph nodes, eliminates stagnation of lymph and restore its circulation. Fragrant cosmetics soft texture — they are used to the best slide — do this procedure not simply pleasant, and exquisitely comfortable.

Giving this massage? First and foremost, removes puffiness. This is important because their constant presence, for example, around the eye cause the appearance of premature wrinkles, a tissue that contains a large amount of moisture, stretched and lose their elasticity. Lymphatic drainage helps to get rid of dark circles, relieves spasms of facial muscles, promotes cell renewal of the skin and restores its tone.

The logical conclusion of the session — anti-aging serum, moisturizer or mask modeling. To the effects of skin responds radiance, freshness and a light blush. After a course of lymphatic drainage procedures, improves complexion, and the outline of the ellipse becomes clearer.

Olga Yashina (osteopath)

"COLD, lack of muscle activity, fatigue, stress and disease slow down the flow of lymph. To restore current, it is important to clean not only large vessels, but even the smallest capillaries.

Ideal — manual lymphatic drainage. Relaxing muscles, gripping the trunk of the lymphatic vessels, it does not move the accumulated lymph from one place to another, and restores normal circulation. The sensitivity of the hands of a specialist is of particular importance when the procedure is performed on the face. The result is complete only when the patient does not feel the touch of the doctor — this achieves the maximum relaxation that is another advantage of the manual method". published
