Not only am I a yoga instructor, knowledgable on the importance of proper lymphatic drainage, I’m a cancer survivor.
I felt wonderful after my first session.
I’ll def be back.

I came to Avant Garde Total Wellness Centers for a manual lymphatic drainage massage. Bob was a wealth of knowledge on my condition and made me feel confident in the procedure. I will update this review once I can speak more of the effects but I am sure I will know soon. The massage was relaxing and every detail was attended to. There is plenty of parking and the entrance is a side door (which leads down stairs to the office) just off the parking lot. Definitely worth a try if you need the benefits of a MLD massage....more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Head and Face MLD.

What should I expect during a Head and Face MLD session?

During a Head and Face MLD session you'll feel very gentle, rhythmic strokes focused on lymph nodes and channels. Sessions are relaxing, typically 30–45 minutes, and may produce immediate subtle de-puffing and a light sense of release.

Is Head and Face MLD safe for sensitive skin and rosacea?

Yes, Head and Face MLD is generally safe for sensitive skin and rosacea when performed by a trained therapist. Pressure is extremely light and adapted to your skin; always inform your therapist about sensitivities or recent flare-ups beforehand.

How many sessions for results with Head and Face MLD?

Many clients notice immediate improvement, but a series of three to six sessions is recommended for lasting results. Frequency depends on your goals—weekly for acute congestion, then monthly maintenance. Your therapist will create a personalized plan.

Can Head and Face MLD reduce post-surgical facial swelling and bruising?

Head and Face MLD can effectively reduce post-surgical swelling and bruising when you have surgeon approval. Therapists trained in post-op care will avoid open wounds and follow a gradual protocol to safely decrease edema.

Are there any side effects after Head and Face MLD?

Side effects are typically mild and short-lived: increased urination, temporary fatigue, slight headache, or light drainage sensations. Stay hydrated and rest after your session. Contact your therapist or physician if severe or prolonged symptoms occur.

How should I prepare for my Head and Face MLD appointment?

Prepare by arriving with a clean, makeup-free face and removing jewelry. Hydrate well beforehand and avoid heavy meals or alcohol. Bring a list of medications and recent surgeries, and notify your therapist of any medical conditions.
