Lymphatic Drainage treatment in Philadelphia – Gentle Detox & Healing

Lymphatic drainage is a specialized treatment that uses light, rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system — the body’s natural detox pathway. This gentle yet powerful technique helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, boost immunity, and promote the removal of toxins and excess fluids.

​

At Nirvana Wellness Medspa, lymphatic drainage is often chosen by clients seeking overall wellness, those recovering from surgery or cosmetic procedures, and anyone looking to support natural detoxification. Our trained therapists personalize each session to ensure comfort and results, creating a deeply restorative experience that leaves you feeling lighter, refreshed, and renewed.

• 90 Minute Treatment Starting at $200

​

This treatment is an in-depth drainage of your lymphatic system. Our practitioner will use her hands to assess and enhance overall circulation and determine the best alternate pathways for draining stagnant body fluid (lymph, interstitial, synovial fluid, etc.). Flat hands and only an ounce of pressure create specific wave-like movements. These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems.

​

• Post-Operative 90 Minute $210

​

Post-Operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Method) is a gentle, specialized treatment designed to reduce swelling, support healing, and enhance recovery after surgery. This technique uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage lymphatic flow and decrease fluid retention. This service does not include aggressive fibrosis or deep tissue work.

* Treatment can be done 3–7 days post-surgery, as long as they have medical clearance and there are no complications such as infection, fever, or active bleeding.

​

Some of the benefits are: 

• Swelling (Edema) Reduction: Surgery often causes fluids to pool in the tissues. The gentle stretching and pulling of the skin using the Vodder technique encourage fluid to move into the superficial lymph vessels, clearing swelling and lowering the risk of seromas.

• Pain Relief: By moving stagnant lymph fluid, MLD relieves pressure on surrounding tissues and nerves, naturally decreasing post-operative discomfort.

• Minimization of Bruising: The technique aids in dispersing trapped blood beneath the skin, helping bruises fade much faster.

• Scar Healing & Prevention: Proper lymphatic flow reduces inflammation, which helps minimize excessive scar tissue (fibrosis) and adhesions.

• Immune Support: Moving excess fluid and waste out of the body quickly lowers the risk of post-operative infections and speeds up overall cellular repair.

• Improved Mobility: By decreasing swelling and tissue stiffness, MLD increases flexibility and allows patients to regain range of motion in their joints and muscles more quickly.
