What is Facial Firming & Draining Massage?
Light, rhythmic techniques may support relaxation and a temporary lighter sensation for some people.
New, one-sided, painful or red swelling—or swelling with breathing difficulty—needs medical assessment.
Goals of care
- Provide a gentle massage experience
- Support temporary comfort
- Screen swelling that should not be massaged
CLINIC MASSAGE PROGRAM

Facial Firming & Draining Massage — 30 minutes
Uses facial massage rhythms to support firmness, softness and natural fluid movement.
- May focus on the face, jawline and neck
- Direction and pressure follow skin sensitivity and puffiness

Preparing for and caring after massage
Before care
- Share medical conditions, medicines, bleeding risk, blood clots, infection or injury
- Share pregnancy, sensitive skin, oil or product allergies and recent procedures
- Postpone care with fever, acute illness, open wounds or inflamed skin in the area
After care
- Change position and stand slowly, resting if you feel light-headed
