If your face is feeling puffy, your sinuses are acting up, or your skin just isn’t looking as vibrant as it used to, it might be time to try something your body will thank you for: facial lymphatic drainage massage. This gentle, natural technique is a powerful way to reduce facial swelling, improve circulation, and support your immune system—all while helping you look and feel more refreshed.

At Pain & Swelling Solutions in Albuquerque, I specialize in both manual facial lymphatic drainage and Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT), giving you more ways to care for your lymphatic system—and your skin.

What Is Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Facial lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid through the face and neck. Your lymphatic system plays a vital role in detoxification, immune function, and inflammation control, but it needs help to move properly—especially when it comes to the delicate tissues of the face.

Common benefits of lymphatic facial massage include:

• Reduced puffiness and facial swelling

• Clearer skin and fewer breakouts

• Relief from sinus congestion and pressure

• Faster post-surgical recovery

• A more sculpted, defined jawline and cheekbones

And let’s be honest—it just feels really, really good.

Two Effective Options for
Facial Lymphatic Massage in Albuquerque

At Pain & Swelling Solutions, I offer two highly effective approaches to facial lymphatic drainage:

1. Manual Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Using soft, sweeping motions and precise, hands-on techniques, manual lymphatic drainage massage helps to gently move lymph fluid out of congested areas in your face and neck. This is especially beneficial for people recovering from facial surgery (like facelifts or dental work), those with sinus issues, or anyone who wants to naturally enhance their facial appearance.

Shannon Goins-Blair, a LANA Certified Lymphedema Therapist, uses advanced training to ensure your session is both safe and highly effective. Manual lymphatic massage is one of the most trusted ways to naturally reduce swelling and inflammation in the face.

2. Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) for Facial and Full-Body Drainage

Want to take it a step further? Electro-Lymphatic Therapy is a cutting-edge technique that uses  electro-static currents to stimulate deeper lymphatic flow. It’s non-invasive, painless, and many clients find it deeply relaxing.

While ELT is often used for full-body lymphatic drainage, it can be carefully applied to the facial area for enhanced results—especially when combined with manual techniques.
