Some mornings your face reads swollen and nothing shifts it. Lymphatic face massage moves fluid along the routes your body already uses, at a light pressure. Kelly works it in Phoenix for patients from here and from across the valley.
What Lymphatic Work Addresses
Fluid settles overnight and the under eye area shows it before anywhere else. Drainage moves that fluid toward the nodes that clear it. Where the shadow is hollowing rather than fluid, we say so.
Sleep position, salt, alcohol, heat, and allergy season all leave fluid sitting where the skin is thinnest.
What to expect, step by step
Day 1
Puffiness reduces on the table. The face reads more defined by the time you leave, and the change is easiest to see around the eyes and jaw.
Days 1-2
The drainage holds for a day or two before fluid returns to its usual pattern. Sleep, salt and alcohol all shorten that.
With a Course
Regular sessions train the routes the body already uses. Kelly suggests a rhythm based on how much fluid was there to move.
Why Patients Choose Us
Drainage looks gentle and still has real contraindications. Here it sits inside a medical boutique with a health history on file and a Naturopathic Medical Doctor as Medical Director. That is the difference.
Kelly has 17+ years behind the treatment bed and a Los Angeles background she travels back for monthly. Drainage depends on route, pressure, and order rather than on strength, which is exactly what experience buys you here.
Certain heart, kidney, and thyroid situations rule this out, and recent infection changes the timing. That is why we take a full health history at your first visit. Dr. Anna Mkrtchyan, Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD), is our Medical Director.
If you have had filler, neurotoxin, or a procedure recently, the timing of drainage matters. Tasha Wright Ford, RN sets when it is safe to start rather than leaving you to guess from something you read online.
We see patients at 707 E Palo Verde Dr, Ste A, Phoenix, AZ 85014, in Uptown Phoenix. across the valley patients drive in for lymphatic massage. Call 602-469-8693 and we will find a time.

Tasha is truly one of the kindest people you will ever meet, and her expertise in Botox is exceptional. I live in another state and still choose to wait to see her because she is that good.

Good Questions
The things patients ask before a first session. If yours is not here, call 602-469-8693 and ask.
Your lymphatic system carries fluid away from tissue and through nodes that filter it. Facial drainage encourages that movement by hand, using slow repeated sweeps at a light pressure. The vessels sit just under the skin, so pushing harder does not work better. It is technique rather than force.
Fluid has to have somewhere to drain into before you move any of it. Kelly opens the nodes at the neck and under the jaw first, then works the face toward them. Skipping that order is the most common way this treatment ends up doing nothing at all.
No, and the two get confused constantly. Fascia work releases tension in the connective layer, using firm pressure. Lymphatic massage moves fluid, using very light pressure. Different problem, different depth, different feel. Tasha Wright Ford, RN tells you which one your face actually needs.
Often yes, and the timing is the whole question. Working too soon after an injectable appointment risks moving product that has not settled. Tell us what you have had and when, and Tasha will set a safe window. We would rather move your booking than guess.
Certain heart, kidney, and thyroid conditions rule it out, along with active infection and some cancers. That is exactly why the health history comes first at our Phoenix boutique. Bring your medication list, and Dr. Anna Mkrtchyan, Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD), reviews anything that needs reviewing.
It should not. The pressure is deliberately light because the vessels being worked sit just below the surface. Most people find it restful and some fall asleep. If anything reads sharp or uncomfortable, say so and Kelly adjusts or stops.
That depends on why you came. Some patients book around allergy season or after an injectable appointment. Others come when travel and heat have caught up with them. We will not put you on a standing schedule, and Kelly tells you plainly when you do not need another one.
Yes. We are at 707 E Palo Verde Dr, Ste A, Phoenix, AZ 85014, in Uptown Phoenix. Patients drive in from across the valley. Call 602-469-8693 or use our booking page to request a time, and we will confirm it with you.
