Your lymphatic system works quietly behind the scenes, carrying away waste products, excess fluid, and toxins that accumulate in your body’s tissues. When this system becomes sluggish or overwhelmed, you might notice swelling, puffiness, fatigue, or a general feeling of being weighed down. Express Lymphatic Detox at Fond & Faye in Rutherford, NJ, offers a specialized wellness therapy designed to support your body’s natural drainage and detoxification processes.
This gentle yet effective detox treatment uses targeted lymphatic massage techniques to encourage the movement of lymph fluid throughout your body. Unlike regular massage, which focuses on muscles, lymphatic drainage works with your body’s waste removal system to help clear out the buildup that makes you feel bloated and sluggish.
Your body deserves support in its natural cleansing processes. Our Express Lymphatic Detox provides professional lymphatic system support that helps move stagnant fluid and encourages toxin removal. In just 45-60 minutes, our trained therapists use specialized gentle drainage techniques across targeted areas of your body, promoting circulation boost and helping you feel lighter, more energized, and refreshed.
This wellness treatment goes beyond relaxation. The rhythmic, light-pressure movements we use follow the natural pathways of your lymphatic system, encouraging fluid to move toward drainage points where your body can process and eliminate it. Many clients notice reduced swelling and puffiness immediately after their session.
Express Lymphatic Detox is a specialized massage technique that focuses specifically on stimulating your lymphatic system rather than working deep into muscles. Using light, rhythmic strokes in specific directions, this treatment encourages the movement of lymph fluid through your body’s network of vessels and nodes. The goal is to reduce congestion in your lymphatic system and support your body’s natural ability to remove waste products and excess fluid.
At Fond & Faye, our Express Lymphatic Detox follows a systematic approach designed to maximize your wellness benefits. We begin with a consultation to understand your specific concerns. The detox process includes beginning with nodes near your neck to open drainage pathways, then working systematically across your body using gentle, pumping motions that move fluid toward your lymph nodes.
You’re an excellent candidate for Express Lymphatic Detox if you experience regular swelling in your extremities, notice puffiness in your face or under your eyes, feel sluggish despite adequate rest, deal with fluid retention related to diet or hormones, or want to support your body’s natural detox processes. This treatment works wonderfully for people recovering from surgery or injury, those who travel frequently, anyone with sedentary jobs, or individuals simply seeking wellness through gentle, supportive bodywork.
Most people can safely enjoy lymphatic drainage. However, certain contraindications exist. This treatment isn’t recommended if you have active infections, blood clots, congestive heart failure, kidney problems, or certain types of cancer. During your consultation, we’ll review your health history to ensure Express Lymphatic Detox is appropriate for your lymphatic health needs.
For general wellness and fluid retention care, most people benefit from Express Lymphatic Detox every 2-4 weeks as part of their routine treatment schedule. If you’re addressing specific concerns like post-surgical swelling, you might start with weekly sessions for faster results, then transition to monthly maintenance once your goals are achieved.
Your ideal detox schedule depends on your individual needs and how your body responds. The long-term benefits of regular lymphatic drainage include better fluid balance, enhanced immune function, and sustained energy levels.

Regular massage uses firm pressure to work deep into muscles, releasing tension and knots. Lymphatic drainage uses very light, gentle pressure with specific rhythmic movements that follow your lymphatic pathways. The goal isn’t to work muscles but to encourage the movement of lymph fluid just beneath your skin’s surface. The touch is much softer than traditional massage, almost like a gentle wave motion across your skin. While both are relaxing, they serve completely different purposes in supporting your body’s health and wellness.
Many clients notice reduced puffiness and a feeling of lightness right after their first Express Lymphatic Detox session. You might see decreased swelling in your face, hands, or feet, and feel less bloated overall. However, the most significant benefits often appear within 24-48 hours as your body continues processing and eliminating the mobilized fluid and waste. For addressing chronic fluid retention or supporting ongoing wellness, regular sessions provide cumulative improvements that become more noticeable over time with consistent treatment.
Drink plenty of water for the next 24-48 hours to help your body flush out the toxins and waste products that have been mobilized during treatment. Light movement, like walking, helps keep your lymph flowing. Avoid alcohol, heavy meals, and intense exercise for at least a few hours after your session. Some people experience increased urination or mild fatigue as their body processes everything—this is completely normal and indicates the treatment is working effectively.
While lymphatic drainage helps reduce water weight and bloating, it’s not a weight loss treatment for fat reduction. The decreased puffiness and fluid retention can make you look slimmer and more contoured, and you might notice the scale drop slightly from releasing excess fluid. However, this is temporary water weight, not permanent fat loss. That said, by supporting your body’s natural detox processes and reducing inflammation, lymphatic drainage can complement a healthy lifestyle.
Not at all. Express Lymphatic Detox is one of the gentlest bodywork treatments available. The pressure used is very light—much lighter than traditional massage—and the movements are slow and rhythmic. Most clients find it deeply relaxing and even drift off to sleep during their session. You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort. If you do, it means too much pressure is being applied, and you should let your therapist know immediately.
People with active infections, blood clots, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, or certain cancers should not receive lymphatic drainage without medical clearance. If you have a pacemaker, are in your first trimester of pregnancy, have acute inflammation, or are experiencing fever, you should postpone treatment. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly review your health history to ensure this treatment is safe for you.
