Question 1

What is the difference between Brazilian and standard Lymphatic Drainage?

Accepted Answer

The Brazilian technique is more intensive. While traditional lymphatic drainage is very light and slow, the Brazilian method at Bella Mai Essex uses deeper pressure and a faster rhythm to provide immediate body-contouring results alongside the detox benefits.

Question 2

Is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage painful?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a firm massage, and you will feel the rhythmic 'pumping' movements, but it should not be painful. Many of our Grays clinic clients describe feeling incredibly light and energized after their session.

Question 3

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most clients see a visible reduction in bloating and a more contoured waistline after just one session. However, for long-term detox and health benefits at Bella Mai Essex, we recommend a consistent course.

Question 4

How many sessions are recommended?

Accepted Answer

At Bella Mai Essex, we generally suggest a course of 6 to 10 treatments. To achieve the best results in our Grays clinic, these are usually scheduled 2–3 times a week, though we can tailor this to your individual goals.

Question 5

Can this treatment help with weight loss?

Accepted Answer

While it is not a fat-removal treatment, it aids weight loss by boosting metabolism and eliminating the excess water weight and toxins that often cause stubborn bloating and 'heaviness' for our Essex clients.

Question 6

Is it safe during pregnancy or post-partum?

Accepted Answer

Lymphatic drainage is excellent for reducing pregnancy-related swelling in the legs and ankles. We always conduct a full consultation at our Essex clinic to ensure the treatment is safe and comfortable for you.

Question 7

Can I combine this with Wood Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is our most popular combination at Bella Mai Essex. We use Wood Therapy to break down fibrous fat deposits and then follow with Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage to flush those toxins out of the system.

Question 8

What should I do after my massage?

Accepted Answer

Hydration is key. We recommend drinking at least 2 litres of water after your treatment in Grays to help your kidneys flush out the waste and fluids that have been mobilized during the massage.

Question 9

Does it help with cellulite?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By reducing the fluid retention that surrounds fat cells, the skin appears much smoother and the 'dimpled' look of cellulite is significantly improved after treatments at Bella Mai Essex.

Question 10

Is there any downtime?

Accepted Answer

There is no downtime. In fact, most people feel a surge of energy! You may find you need to visit the bathroom more frequently over the next 24 hours as your body eliminates the excess fluid processed at our Grays clinic.

Question 11

Can this be done after Fat Freezing or surgery?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It is highly recommended to speed up the removal of dead fat cells after Fat Freezing or to reduce swelling after aesthetic surgeries (once cleared by your doctor) in our Essex clinic.
