Healthy lymphatic drainage is like a river flowing through your body, clearing away debris to keep the landscape vibrant and healthy. The interstitial fluids that collect beneath your skin need to be flushed into the body’s natural detoxification system. Using feather-light, sweeping strokes, I help move these collected fluids into the lymphatic system, where they get cleaned and mixed back into your bloodstream. Unlike the circulatory system, your lymphatic system does not have a pump. My Gua Sha protocol gives your lymphatic system the boost it needs to rid itself of the fluids stuck beneath the skin’s surface, causing your face to bloat. I start your treatment by opening up the lymph nodes and channels in your neck to help with circulation before moving to your face—the collarbone area is the ‘master drain’ where lymphatic congestion from the face and head enters the blood system.
Boost Post-Surgery Recovery with Lymphatic Massage
Surgery can also cause inflammation and blockages in the lymphatic system. To aid recovery, plastic surgeons often recommend lymphatic massage after cosmetic procedures to improve circulation, remove excess fluid buildup, reduce swelling, and promote faster healing. It can also help prevent infection, as lymphatic congestion increases the risk of infection and can cause healing problems due to tissue swelling.
Gua Sha is a fantastic addition to anyone’s skincare routine. Along with promoting lymphatic drainage, it relieves stress by stimulating the release of endorphins, creating feelings of relaxation and well-being.

Discovering Marlene’s Expertise: A Journey to Radiant Skin and Recovery
In 2019, I began my search for a holistic Atlanta-based specialist proficient in Gua Sha, hoping to alleviate my fatigued facial muscles and fluid retention. My journey led me to Marlene, the owner of Vibrant Glow Facial Spa, who specializes in holistic skincare and Gua Sha. From my very first visit, Marlene's expertise and meticulous care left me with glowing, healthy-looking skin.
Initially, I treated myself to Marlene's rejuvenating facials a few times a year. However, my routine took a significant turn more recently, following chin liposuction and a lower blepharoplasty. The surgeries left me swollen, and I knew Marlene's skills were precisely what I needed for recovery. About a week post-surgery, I began biweekly lymphatic drainage massages with her. Not only did these sessions feel incredibly soothing, but I genuinely believe they accelerated my healing process and helped me avoid any unwanted aftereffects of the procedures.
Now, four months post-op, I continue to see Marlene monthly for aftercare. Her skill set continues to impress me, and the results speak for themselves—I love how I look and feel after each session. Marlene's treatments are not just about addressing specific concerns; they contribute to overall skin wellness. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking specialized treatments or simply wanting to feel beautiful. Trust me, with Marlene, you will!
