FAQs about Brazilian Sculpting
How is this different from traditional lymphatic drainage?
This is a more dynamic, results-driven treatment using firmer sculpting techniques and wood therapy, compared to the gentle, restorative nature of traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
Will I see results straight away?
Many clients notice an immediate difference after one session, particularly in reduced fluid retention and improved definition. Results continue to improve with a course of treatments.
Does it hurt?
The treatment is firm and stimulating rather than purely relaxing. Some areas, particularly where there is cellulite or congestion, may feel more intense, but pressure is always adapted to your comfort level.
How many sessions do I need?
A course of 6–12 treatments is generally recommended for best results. However, every body is different, and the number of sessions required will vary depending on your individual goals, lifestyle, and response to treatment.
For longer-lasting results, this treatment is best supported by a balanced lifestyle, including hydration, gentle movement, and nourishing nutritional habits.
Can specific areas be targeted?
Yes, treatments can focus on specific areas such as the face, abdomen, legs, glutes, arms, or back, depending on your goals.
Is there any downtime?
No downtime is required. You may feel lighter, more sculpted, and more energised following treatment. Some mild tenderness can occur in more congested areas, which typically settles quickly.
Disclaimer
This treatment is a non-invasive wellness and aesthetic therapy designed to support lymphatic function, body contouring, and overall wellbeing. It is not a medical treatment and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical conditions.
Results will vary from person to person depending on individual body type, lifestyle, and consistency of treatment. For best results, this treatment works well alongside supportive lifestyle choices such as hydration, movement, and balanced nutrition.
If you have any medical conditions or concerns, please consult your GP and obtain written medical consent where appropriate before booking.
