Lympha Press® FAQ:
Adapted from the proven principals of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, the Lympha Press® is a compression therapy system that delivers one of the most effective and safe medical lymphatic drainage therapies available to-day.
Lympha Press® uses a garment with air-filled “chambers” to apply a special compression and release sequence to the area being treated. The air chambers are inflated to a precise pressure. They also deflate in a sequence that stimulates the lymphatic capillaries to absorb lymph fluid. The compression and release sequence also stimulates the lymph vessels to propel the fluid out of the area, decongesting it of stagnant lymph fluid. Lymph nodes process the lymph fluid so that it can safely leave the body as urine.
