How Lymphatic Drainage Works for Under-Eye Bags
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and lymph nodes that removes waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump (like the heart), so it relies on movement, massage, and muscle contractions to keep fluids flowing.
When lymphatic drainage is sluggish, fluid and toxins can accumulate under the eyes, leading to puffiness and swelling. A lymphatic drainage facial stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to:
Move Stagnant Fluid – Gentle, rhythmic strokes push excess fluid towards lymph nodes, where it’s filtered and eliminated.
Reduce Inflammation & Puffiness – By promoting circulation, it decreases swelling and improves skin tone.
Detoxify the Skin – Helps remove waste and toxins that may contribute to dullness and puffiness.
Improve Oxygen & Nutrient Flow – Increases blood circulation, delivering essential nutrients to the skin.
Why It Works for Under-Eye Bags
The under-eye area has delicate skin and limited circulation, making it prone to fluid retention.
Lymphatic massage helps flush out trapped fluid, leading to a depuffed, brighter look.
Unlike deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage uses light, repetitive strokes to move fluid without putting pressure on blood vessels or causing damage to fragile skin.
