Gentle lymphatic drainage massage with Orinela at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Summertown, Oxford, for fluid retention, bloating and recovery after surgery
Leave your details and our team at Cannelle Skin Clinic will call you back to talk through lymphatic drainage massage and arrange your visit.
Your lymphatic system carries away excess fluid and waste, but it has no pump of its own, so it can slow down. Using light, flowing strokes, Orinela gently encourages that fluid to move, which reduces swelling and puffiness and leaves you feeling lighter.
Your lymphatic system carries away excess fluid and waste, but it has no pump of its own, so it can slow down. Using light, flowing strokes, Orinela gently encourages that fluid to move, which reduces swelling and puffiness and leaves you feeling lighter.
Not at all. It uses very light, rhythmic strokes rather than firm pressure, so most clients find it deeply relaxing.
A relaxing massage works into the muscles to release tension. Lymphatic drainage is far gentler, working just beneath the skin with the lymphatic system.
A treatment usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas you would like to focus on.
From your first visit to your aftercare, every step is gentle and unhurried. Orinela will talk through how you are feeling and any medical history before you begin, so your treatment is safe and tailored to you.
Orinela will ask about your goals and health, then tailor the massage to you. If you are recovering from surgery, she will check the details first.
Most people feel lighter and less puffy straight away. You may need the bathroom more often as your body clears the fluid, so drink plenty of water.
Drink plenty of water, move gently and avoid heavy meals or alcohol for the rest of the day to get the most from your treatment.
At Cannelle Skin Clinic, your lymphatic drainage massage is carried out by Orinela, our experienced massage therapist, in a calm and private setting. We take the time to understand your goals and any medical history, so every treatment is gentle, safe and tailored to you.
We are asked plenty of questions about lymphatic drainage. Here are the ones our Oxford clients ask for most, and Orinela is always happy to advise.
Clients choose it to reduce puffiness and fluid retention, ease bloating, support recovery after surgery, boost wellbeing and improve the look of the skin.
Yes, reducing fluid retention and easing bloating are two of the most popular reasons clients book lymphatic drainage massage with us.
Many clients come once or twice a week for a few weeks, then less often to maintain the results. Orinela will tailor this to your goals.
Lymphatic drainage is not a weight loss treatment. It reduces excess fluid and puffiness so you feel lighter and less bloated, and works best alongside a healthy lifestyle.
None. You can return to your day straight away. Just drink plenty of water afterwards.
Yes. Because Cannelle is a full skin and beauty clinic, you can pair lymphatic drainage with a relaxing massage, a facial or other wellness treatments.
Prices are available on enquiry. As it works best as a course, please contact our team and we will talk through the options.

A few more questions about who lymphatic drainage suits and when to take care, so you can book with confidence.
For most people it is very safe and gentle. Orinela will always check your health with you first and tailor the treatment accordingly.
It may not be suitable if you have certain heart, kidney or circulation conditions, an active infection or blood clot, are pregnant, or are undergoing cancer treatment. Please let us know so we can advise or ask you to check with your GP.
No referral is needed. If you are recovering from surgery, simply follow your surgeon’s guidance on timing and let us know the details when you book.
You will be made comfortable and covered throughout. Orinela will explain everything before you begin.
