Lymphatic Massage (Body & Face)

Manual lymphatic massage at Arte Clinic is performed by certified healthcare professionals using slow, gentle strokes that stimulate lymph flow. It reduces swelling and fluid retention, supports the skin's clarity, and is particularly valuable for accelerating recovery after surgical procedures such as facelifts and liposuction — which is why it sits within a plastic surgery clinic rather than a spa.

The lymphatic system drains excess interstitial fluid, waste products, and inflammatory by-products from the tissues — but unlike the circulatory system it has no central pump, relying on muscle movement and external stimulation. Manual lymphatic drainage applies light, rhythmic, directional strokes that follow the lymphatic pathways toward the drainage nodes, measurably accelerating fluid clearance. At Arte Clinic the massage is delivered by certified healthcare professionals, and its placement inside a surgical clinic is deliberate: lymphatic drainage is one of the most effective supportive treatments after aesthetic surgery. Following a facelift, liposuction, or abdominoplasty, post-operative swelling is largely lymphatic fluid; a guided drainage series can shorten the swollen phase, ease tightness and discomfort, and help the final contour emerge sooner. The therapists work in coordination with the surgical team on timing and pressure appropriate to the healing stage. Outside the surgical context, clients book lymphatic massage of the face, décolletage, and body for fluid retention, puffiness, a heavy-legs feeling, skin clarity (including acne-prone congestion), tension headaches, and general detox-supportive care. Sessions are calm and comfortable — the pressure is intentionally feather-light, since lymphatic vessels sit superficially. Pricing starts at 900 Kč per session by area, and a series at regular intervals gives the most noticeable effect for both recovery and maintenance bookings.
