FAQs — Lymphatic Drainage Massage Abu Dhabi

General Questions

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, therapist-led technique that uses light, directional movements to support the body’s natural lymphatic system — different from a typical massage, which works the muscle layer.

Regular massage targets muscles using varying pressure. MLD works just beneath the skin, following lymphatic pathways, using pressure that stays light throughout the entire session.
