We receive an overwhelming number of DMs every day, and unfortunately, I can’t answer all of them.
So I’ll start answering the most common questions here in my Reels.

One of the top questions I hear:

Why is lymphatic drainage done at the beginning of my method and not at the end?

It’s important to understand the structure of the lymphatic system.
Lymph is carried through vessels and filtered through lymph nodes, and both are located quite superficially in the body.

Lymphatic vessels and nodes are delicate structures.
When too much pressure is applied, fluid is released into the surrounding tissues, which leads to congestion instead of drainage.

Our goal is not to congest tissue 
our goal is to move fluid out of the face and neck and guide it downward through the lymphatic pathways.

If fluid is pushed into the tissues by pressure, it becomes harder to move.
Once tissue is congested, proper drainage becomes almost impossible.

That’s why lymphatic drainage must be performed first 
when tissues are calm, undisturbed, and responsive.

Lymph moves slowly and responds best to light, precise technique.
Direction matters as much as pressure.

If you’re a practitioner and usually perform lymphatic work at the end of your treatment, try doing it at the beginning and observe the difference.

If you’re looking for an excellent facial performed with proper lymphatic drainage, you can find Helena Pahava Method certified professionals in our Story Highlights.
