How the treatment works
This service pairs manual lymphatic massage with wood therapy tools to encourage fluid movement along superficial lymph pathways. Therapists use rhythmic, directional strokes toward major lymph nodes, combined with targeted wooden instruments to mobilize soft tissue. Many Miami clients book this treatment specifically because local humidity, travel and busy schedules can increase fluid retention and swelling that they want to address.
The extended format allows more time for full-body sequencing and focused work on areas that hold fluid or feel heavy. This extra time supports gradual mobilization rather than rushed techniques, letting the therapist change pace, refine pressure, and cover the trunk and limbs more thoroughly during the 90 MINUTES session.
What to expect during session
A brief intake clarifies your goals, comfort level, and any recent surgeries or medications. During treatment you’ll lie on the table while the therapist performs gentle lymphatic strokes and applies wood therapy techniques on targeted areas. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort; many clients report a warm, relaxed sensation and occasional mild tenderness where tissue is deeply mobilized.
Because this is a longer service, the sequence includes both broad full-body passes and dedicated time for focused contouring. It isn’t a quick lunch-hour treatment; instead, it suits clients who can book a 90 MINUTES block — ideal for weekend pampering after a visit to Venetian Pool or a morning appointment before commuting on US-1.
Aftercare and follow-up timing
Post-session care emphasizes hydration and gentle movement to support circulation; many clients choose to walk or stretch lightly after treatment. Avoiding strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day can help your body integrate the work. Some people notice immediate relaxation, while tissue changes and fluid shifts can evolve over hours to days.
Price: $260. If you want ongoing contouring or additional drainage sessions, discuss a follow-up plan with your therapist; frequency depends on individual goals and scheduling. Dermal Era’s Coral Gables location offers early-morning slots for commuters and weekend appointments for visitors to the Biltmore and Miracle Mile.
