What is lymphatic drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a medical and physiotherapeutic procedure aimed at stimulating the flow of lymph from the body's tissues. The lymphatic system plays a key role in cleansing the body: it removes toxins, metabolic waste, and excess fluid, and also supports the immune system. Unlike classic massage, lymphatic drainage targets the superficial layers of the skin and lymphatic vessels, helping the body eliminate unwanted substances more effectively and maintain internal balance. 3 4
Lymph flows in only one direction-toward the heart-passing through lymph nodes where it is filtered. Lymph movement is supported by muscle contractions, breathing, and valves in the vessels. If lymph flow slows down, fluid and toxins accumulate in the tissues, leading to swelling and weakened immunity. 5
Why is lymphatic drainage important?
Healthy lymph flow is the foundation of well-being and appearance. When lymph stagnates, the body begins to "poison" itself: swelling, cellulite, reduced immunity, slower metabolism, and skin problems may occur. Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, weight gain, and frequent infections. 2 5
What problems can occur with impaired lymph flow?
Chronic swelling and heaviness in the legs
Cellulite and skin problems
Reduced immunity and frequent inflammations
Varicose veins
Fatigue, headaches, digestive issues
Without regular lymphatic drainage, lymphostasis may develop, leading to serious complications such as fibrosis, skin infections, and ulcers. 5
What problems does lymphatic drainage solve?
Lymphatic drainage helps to:
Reduce swelling and fluid retention
Improve metabolism and detoxification
Strengthen the immune system and speed up recovery
Reduce cellulite and improve skin condition
How does LoreMeda pressotherapy provide the best lymphatic drainage?
Pressotherapy is a modern, device-based method of lymphatic drainage, where waves of compressed air are applied to the body through special cuffs. At LoreMeda, we use advanced equipment and personalized programs for each client. The benefits of pressotherapy include:

Powerful lymphatic and detoxifying effect
Improved skin condition and reduced cellulite
Safe and comfortable for people of any age or gender 2
How many sessions are needed for visible results?
1 session – Even after the first session, you will feel lighter and notice reduced swelling
3 sessions – The body's renewal process begins, metabolism improves, skin becomes smoother
5 sessions – The lymphatic drainage effect intensifies, fluid circulation normalizes, body measurements decrease
7 sessions – Long-lasting results: firmer skin, less cellulite, more energy
Doctors and studies recommend at least one session for a noticeable effect, but for lasting results, 3–7 sessions are recommended, and up to 15 if needed. 1 3
Who can benefit from lymphatic drainage?
Lymphatic drainage and pressotherapy are suitable for men and women of any age and activity level:
Women – for swelling, cellulite, skin problems, and body shaping
Men – for fatigue relief, recovery, and prevention of vascular problems
Older adults – for improved circulation, prevention of swelling, and maintaining mobility

"Supporting the lymphatic system-whether through lymphatic drainage or modern pressotherapy-not only improves appearance but also enhances quality of life."
