Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
MLD is a light touch, skin-stretching modality that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. MLD is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help promote the flow of lymphatic fluid. MLD helps open the remaining functioning lymph collectors and move protein and fluid into them, as well as to help speed up lymph fluid flow through the lymphatic system and returned to the Venus system.
As both a preventative and remedial technique, MLD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from surgery, injury, reduction of swelling, discomfort from pregnancy, autoimmune disease, and strengthened resistance to illness. MLD should not be confused with a traditional massage.
Postoperative Aesthetic and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery MLD

This therapy is suitable for cosmetic, reconstructive, and general surgeries.

Microcurrent Point Simulation (MPS) -
Dolphin Neurostim
Scar Release Therapy (SRT)
Scar Release Therapy (SRT) is an innovative new therapy designed to reduce the negative effects that scars have on our bodies.
DC microcurrent therapy (MPS) is a more effective Scar Release by penetrating deeply into the dermis (and beyond) where the scar tissue originates and increases cellular metabolism, ATP and Protein Synthesis. MPS physically changes the Scar tissue polarities to release deep adhesions and reduce physical scar size (23-73%).
MPS super-accelerates scar-tissue healing . By treating scars at their source, DC microcurrent facilitates more comprehensive healing and restoration of tissue function, providing relief that methods focusing on the surface cannot achieve.
This non-invasive, painless treatment quickly softens scar tissue (reducing scar size) to provide incredible chronic pain throughout the body.
Can be used to treat old or new scars including non surgical and non surgical scars including, c-section, breast surgery, appendectomy, gall-bladder, cosmetic, hernia, etc.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation counters our “fight or flight” stress response to promote relaxation and activate our restorative healing functions throughout the body.

Testimonials
Customer Feedback:
I cannot recommend Melissa enough! I went in for a facial and she went above and beyond my expectations. She treated every single blemish with so much care and precision, and she even took the time to remove those stubborn little chin hairs (a lifesaver!). My skin has never looked or felt better—refreshed, glowing, and so smooth. Melissa is not only incredibly skilled, but she also makes you feel completely comfortable and pampered throughout the entire experience. Truly one of the best facials I’ve ever had!
