Thriyv: Aftercare Information Sheet – Lymphatic Drainage (Pressotherapy)

Purpose

This guide outlines what to expect following your Lymphatic Drainage treatment and provides aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best results. Please follow these recommendations carefully.

Immediately After Treatment

You may feel light, relaxed, or slightly tired following your session. Some clients experience a mild increase in urination over the next few hours as the body eliminates excess fluid. This is a normal and positive response to improved lymphatic flow.

Temporary redness or mild tingling in the treated areas can occur as circulation increases. These effects typically subside within 1–2 hours.

Aftercare Advice

  • Drink plenty of water (at least 1.5–2 litres) throughout the day to support detoxification and fluid balance.
  • Gentle stretching or light walking can help maintain circulation and enhance the effects of treatment.
  • Keep the skin clean and avoid heavy moisturisers or oils immediately after your session.
  • Eat light, balanced meals rich in vegetables and fibre to aid natural detoxification.

Expected Reactions

  • Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle treatment with minimal side effects. You may experience:
  • Increased urination for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
  • Temporary fatigue or light-headedness as toxins are processed.
  • Mild skin redness or warmth that settles within a few hours.

These are all normal and indicate that your body is responding well.

Skin and Body Care Recommendations

  • Continue to hydrate well daily to maintain results.
  • Schedule regular sessions (1–2 per week initially, then maintenance every few weeks) for lasting improvements in circulation and fluid balance.
  • Combine Lymphatic Drainage with gentle exercise, massage, or a balanced diet for optimal results.
  • Avoid tight clothing that may restrict lymphatic flow immediately after treatment.
  • Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare if the skin feels dry or sensitive.

Possible Side Effects

Most clients experience only mild and temporary effects. Rarely, mild bruising or delayed swelling may occur, especially in clients with sensitive skin or pre-existing circulatory issues. These effects typically resolve naturally within a few days.

When to Contact the Clinic

Please contact Thriyv immediately if you experience:

  • Persistent swelling, redness, or pain beyond 48 hours.
  • Signs of infection such as warmth, discharge, or fever.
  • Unusual shortness of breath or chest discomfort.
  • Any other symptoms that feel severe or concerning.

Results and Ongoing Care

You may notice immediate lightness, reduced swelling, and improved comfort after your session. Optimal results develop gradually over a course of treatments as your lymphatic and circulatory systems adapt.

For continued benefits, maintain hydration, follow a healthy lifestyle, and schedule regular maintenance sessions as advised by your clinician.
