Lymphatic drainage eliminates excess fluids and toxins from the body and thus the region that was previously swollen has less volume. Lymphatic drainage has other benefits, such as combating cellulite, improving blood circulation, and is an essential complement to various aesthetic treatments, such as lipocavitation and radiofrequency, for example.
Although lymphatic drainage is draining and antioxidant, it does not act directly on fat metabolism. Therefore, the centimeters lost with lymphatic drainage do not represent the removal of fat accumulated in these areas. Therefore, it would be more correct to say that lymphatic drainage reduces swelling, not weight loss. However, when it is associated with diet, exercise or other beauty techniques, it helps the individual lose weight more easily.
Aesthetic treatments such as radiofrequency, lipocavitation and cryolipolysis act directly on the fat layer and end up releasing a series of toxins in the body. With lymphatic drainage performed immediately after one of these procedures, these toxins are directed to the lymph nodes and subsequently eliminated through urine. This guarantees the effectiveness of the treatment.

Therefore, to lose weight with lymphatic drainage, it is recommended to carry out an aesthetic treatment first and then complement it with drainage. This type of treatment protocol can be performed 2-3 times a week, and there is no need to perform full-body drainage, just at the treatment site.
But in addition, it is also advisable to take care of your diet by restricting your intake of fats, sugars and processed foods. Drinking 1.5 L of water or a draining tea, such as green tea, for example, is also important to keep the body properly hydrated and eliminate even more toxins.
