The cycle is the same in Dubai each year. Holidays, extended weekends, dinner parties, weddings, parties, and more dinner parties leave people feeling heavy, lethargic and swollen. As April rolls around, requests for lymphatic drainage massage after holidays in Dubai go up drastically, for engaging scientific reasons.
We’ve noticed it at Revivers Home Spa. We see firsthand in our certified lymphatic drainage therapists that bookings surge every April in JVC, Business Bay, Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai and Al Barsha as people are looking to reboot their body after a month of excess. Post-holiday lymphatic drainage is not a fad but a good medical response to the effects of excess festive living on the lymphatic system.
What Happens to Your Body During the Holiday Season?
Lymphatic system is your body’s natural drainage system. It removes toxins, balances the body’s fluid, and plays a vital role in the immune system. So when you overeat, don’t drink enough water, sleep poorly and don’t exercise, classic behaviours in the holiday season, your lymphatic flow is severely diminished.
It results in symptoms that can be seen and felt: a bloated appearance when we wake up; swollen feet at the end of the day; feelings of lethargy; impaired immune function; and congested and inflamed looking skin. This is not water weight. It is sluggish lymph fluid that can’t easily find its way out of the body.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage After Holidays: Why April Is the Ideal Month to Book in Dubai
Dubai’s April is the cusp between the social and the long, sweltering summer months. It’s a natural cleansing time for the body and the best time to free stagnation from the holidays before the stress of May and June’s heat intensifies.
Post-holiday lymphatic drainage massage, massages with gentle, stimulating pressure along the lymphatic pathways. A therapist activates the nodes from the neck to the abdomen and then limbs, preparing the flow through the lymph aria network towards excreting sites. The evidence is in the science: manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) promotes more rapid removal of metabolic waste products, less swelling of interstitial fluid, and improvement in immune system function.
What For Dubai Residents?
For Dubai residents, there’s more to it. Living in a city with extreme temperatures, filled with air-conditioned buildings and high salt content foods, coupled with commute time, followed by sitting at a desk, predicates the fact that Dubai residents always have to deal with a particular ‘baseline’ lymphatic drain. The post-holiday lymphatic congestion on top of that is why the month of April often sees people feeling their worst and why a few MLD strokes directly on that area can make such a marked difference quickly.
Revivers’ Post-Holiday Lymphatic Drainage Massage Process
Every Revivers Home Spa session includes a short consultation. Our therapist then traces the client’s lymph channels and assesses where there is visible blockage (usually face, tummy and legs for client’s post-holiday). The 60-to-90-minute session follows the Vodder method, an internationally recognized manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) technique.
Most clients feel less bloated and “bloaty”, and flatter within 24 hours of their first visit. The ideal post-holiday reset is achieved with 4 to 6 sessions, two to three days apart.
When is April the Best Month to Book?
Uber-bloated, puffy and tired, post-Eid sufferers.
New Zealanders travelling abroad and on extended breaks.
Anyone who had cosmetic treatments during the holidays that need after-surgery MLD.
Recent mothers in their post-birth recovery period wanting a post-bio detox.
Work professionals returning to demanding work schedules for an immune and energy boost.
FAQ
Why do people book appointments for lymphatic drainage massage after holidays?
April comes after Dubai’s main holiday time that includes the spring and Eid break, which can leave its residents with a build-up of lymphatic fluid due to poor sleep, inactivity and eating.
How fast does lymphatic drainage work post-festive season?
Within 24 hours of the first treatment, clients will see visible de-puffing and de-bloating of the face. A series of four to six treatments over two weeks provides long-term benefits, such as improved complexion, increased energy and decreased water retention.
Are the post-holiday lymphatic drainage massage sessions special?
Yes, the technique is identical, but the priority body regions are different. During a post-holiday session, the focus will be on the abdomen, face and lower limbs general areas where food and water retention show up. Your Revivers therapist will work on your congestion pattern.
Are there Revivers Home Spa visits in April in Dubai?
Yes. Revivers Home Spa offers accredited MLD therapists in JVC, Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Al Barsha and Palm Jumeirah with slots available throughout the morning, afternoon and evening hours in April.
