Puffy face, tired features: how can lymphatic drainage really help?

Why does the face swell?

The most frequent causes are:

- poor lymphatic circulation

- prolonged lying position

- diet high in salt

- stress and muscle tension

These factors lead to lymphatic stagnation , which is particularly noticeable upon waking.

The role of lymphatic massage

Massage provides mechanical stimulation:

- lymphatic capillaries

- the cervical lymph nodes

- drainage towards natural elimination pathways

This is not a deep tissue massage, but a slow, gentle, and directional one .

Why a facial massage tool is more effective than a random massage

An ergonomic tool allows you to:

- to precisely follow the lymphatic pathways

- to avoid excessive (counterproductive) pressure

- to obtain more consistent results

📌 According to the British Association of Dermatologists, gentleness and precision are essential to avoid skin irritation.
