Yes, LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE Is Actually Worth the Hype

The treatment that’s popular in Europe has finally made its way to the West Coast. We had the opportunity to test the hype at a newly opened studio, The Tox in Los Angeles. So what exactly is a lymphatic drainage massage? The Tox explains, “the Master Tox is a drainage method that helps improve health and free flowing of the lymphatic system. Our proprietary method moves fluid toward lymph nodes in the body while incorporating different techniques from around the world.”

The blend of Japanese ampuku and European and Brazilian cellulite massage promotes myofascial release that detoxifies the body (and mind), resulting in an overall leaner look.

The detoxifying process starts with firm strokes to stimulate each lymph node, which basically feels like a deep tissue massage. Then the therapist begins to focus on areas of the body, starting with the legs. This “slimming” cream is massaged onto the focused area before a vacuum therapy machine is used. This device drains fluids from your body, and you can see (and feel) the results instantly. Before treating your other leg, the masseuse will take pictures so you can see the difference, and if you lift your drained leg you can feel the *subtle* but effective change. Some people can lose inches in just one 60-minute session. Read on for more of the benefits and to see our before and after photos.

The Benefits:

-Reduce swelling and bloating
-Help reduce the appearance of cellulite
-Promote digestive health
-Lessen fatigue and stress
-Encourage fluid, waste, and toxin drainage
-Fight off infection

Our Experience:

Sam Hyatt

“I loved my first lymphatic drainage massage at The Tox. Loved the vibe, and my massage therapist, Kate, was so sweet and informative—explaining to me what she was doing, as well as the countless benefits of lymph drainage. The massage uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of lymph fluids and reduce toxins in your body. Because the lymph system is a key component of your body’s immune system, lymphatic drainage can help fight infection, too. All around, I felt lighter on my feet, relaxed, and less bloated for a couple of days after the treatment. Highly recommend.”

“I was a bit nervous heading into the massage because I heard they have to push really hard and work the muscles, but I found the experience incredibly relaxing. My massage therapist explained that our bodies aren’t meant to withstand the stress of the modern world—so we hold on to more toxins and fluids than we ever have before. These toxins well up inside of us and can cause sickness, pain, and fatigue. No, thanks!

I could see a difference in my upper thigh and calf right away. It was so strange realizing that I had been walking around with that for so long. I felt like she was pushing out all of the toxins and saving me from myself.”

“The physical results were minimal on me but I definitely felt lighter and had more energy for the day. It’s a great treatment if you have an event that evening and you want a quick way to feel slightly slimmer or if you had a few too many cocktails the night before and need to hit restart by detoxing your body.”
