At home, a 60-minute full body session usually costs between 60 and 90 in local currency. A 30-minute targeted session runs 35 to 55. Prices in big cities trend higher, while rural areas trend lower. A first appointment may include a 10 to 15 minute assessment with no extra fee.
Swelling and post-surgery cases often need 8 to 12 sessions, twice a week at the start, then weekly. Mild fluid retention may improve in 3 to 5 sessions. Maintenance for chronic conditions is usually 1 session every 2 to 4 weeks. Your therapist should reassess every 4 visits.
A full body session takes 50 to 75 minutes. For a single area like legs or arms, expect 25 to 40 minutes. The room should be warm, quiet, and have a hydraulic table at proper height. A clean sheet, blanket, and pillow must be provided for every client.
The pressure is lighter than a regular massage. It should feel like a slow stretch of the skin, around 10 to 30 mmHg of force. If the therapist presses hard enough to bend your muscles, the technique is wrong. Speak up if you feel pain or deep tissue work.
Manual lymphatic drainage uses light skin stretches along lymphatic vessels, following specific paths toward lymph nodes. Machine methods use pneumatic boots or rollers that press limbs in cycles. Both can work, but manual sessions allow more precise pressure control and are usually better for face, neck, and post-surgery areas.
Ask where the therapist studied and how many hours of lymphatic drainage training they completed. A complete course usually runs 30 to 60 hours. Verify they hold a license in massage therapy or physiotherapy. Avoid people who learned only through short weekend workshops without a certificate.
Therapists need a flat surface about 2 meters long, a quiet room, and access to a sink. Allow 10 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of cleanup either side of the actual session. Pets should be secured. Keep a written log of limb measurements and symptoms to share at every visit for accurate tracking.
Avoid any provider who promises permanent fat removal, who refuses to share credentials, or who pressures you into prepaid packages of 20 sessions upfront. A proper therapist reassesses at visit 3 and adjusts the plan. Equipment that vibrates or uses suction is not lymphatic drainage, even if marketed as such.
Most people feel lighter and notice 1 to 2 cm less swelling in the treated limb for 24 to 48 hours. Mild fatigue or increased urination is normal as fluid shifts. Measure the same spot on the limb at the same time of day to track real progress rather than guessing. Redness means call your therapist.
Drink 500 ml of water in the 2 hours before the appointment and avoid alcohol the day before. Wear loose cotton clothing. Do not apply lotion or oil on the skin since it blocks the light grip. Have your compression garment ready if you are mid-recovery. Empty your bladder right before treatment.
