Combined Lymphatic Drainage (Manual + Machine)

Cleopatra Clinic's lymphatic drainage combines a manual opening of the neck lymph nodes with machine pressotherapy of the legs in one 60-minute session for 490 Kč — or 390 Kč per session on a 10-visit pass. The sequence matters: manually clearing the central collection points first lets the pressure-cuff massage of the legs drain effectively. The treatment is used for heavy legs, fluid retention, cellulite support, and post-liposuction recovery at the clinic.

Lymphatic drainage supports the body's fluid-clearance system — the network of vessels and nodes that returns tissue fluid to circulation. When it works sluggishly, the result is heavy legs, evening ankle swelling, water retention, and worsened cellulite appearance. **The combined protocol at Cleopatra Clinic:** each session pairs two techniques in the physiologically correct order. First, the therapist performs *manual* lymphatic drainage of the front of the neck — the terminus area where the lymphatic system empties into the veins. Opening these central nodes first is what allows fluid pushed from the periphery to actually drain. Then the legs are treated with *machine pressotherapy*: inflatable multi-chamber cuffs apply a rolling wave of gentle pressure from the feet upward, methodically moving fluid toward the cleared central drainage points. **Why it's offered at a plastic surgery clinic:** beyond wellness use for heavy legs and cellulite, lymphatic drainage is a standard supportive treatment after liposuction and body-contouring surgery — it may help reduce post-operative swelling and support smoother skin retraction. Patients recovering from procedures at the clinic can book the same programme. **Pricing:** a single 60-minute combined session is 490 Kč; a 10-session pass is 3,900 Kč (390 Kč per visit). Courses of 8–12 sessions at 1–2 per week are typical for visible effects on fluid retention and cellulite. **Contraindications:** acute infection or fever, active thrombosis, severe heart failure, and untreated malignancy — screened before the first session.
