What the treatment involves
This session combines targeted manual techniques and optional modalities to move fluid, decongest tissue and reduce facial puffiness. Typical elements can include Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage of the face and neck, cupping for lymph detoxification, microcurrent for firming and oxygenation; the service is $269 and scheduled for 85 MINUTES. Techniques are chosen and paced to your needs.
Practically, the therapist will begin with assessment and gentle drainage strokes to clear pathways, then layer optional tools such as microcurrent or oxygenation where appropriate. You may notice visible reduction in swelling after one session, but outcomes vary and are not guaranteed. Sara has been certified in Dr. Vodder's method for over ten years and adapts treatment accordingly.
Techniques and optional variations
Variations may include Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage, cupping for lymph detox, microcurrent to support tissue tone, oxygenation to assist local healing environments, and LED light therapy for healing and anti-aging. Each modality has a specific role: manual work re-routes fluid, cupping mobilizes stagnation, microcurrent supports cell activity, oxygenation and LED aim to enhance recovery environments.
Add-ons we commonly pair with this facial include a cellulose mask, an oxygen dome, hyaluronic acid mask, and LED light. These enhance hydration and local recovery signals without changing the core protocol. During your consultation we’ll discuss which combinations make sense based on your goals, surgical timeline and comfort with each option.
Preparing for surgery and recovery
This service is frequently chosen by clients preparing for or healing after facial procedures because it focuses on reducing inflammation and moving fluid that contributes to swelling. It is particularly useful post-surgery when performed with appropriate medical clearance. While many clients see a difference after one session, this is supportive care and does not replace your surgeon’s instructions or medical treatment.
Located in Greenville’s North Main / Eastside corridor near downtown and Falls Park on the Reedy, SkinHappy is convenient for commuters and visitors. Our scheduling accommodates evenings and weekends for busy professionals. Always bring your surgery dates, relevant medical information, and questions — Sara will review your history and coordinate treatment choices with your recovery plan.
