Yes, your practitioner will massage the treated areas in one of two methods to provide maximum results

The Interstitial Fluid Technique is an injection technique developed by Professional Dietetics medical team to get faster results especially in the first phase

Using this injection technique and following with lymphatic massage towards the lymph nodes vastly improves the apearance of wrinkles and fine lines for optimal results.

The RIFT technique involves massage in the opposite way of the lymph nodes. This will build and fill out the tissues giving a fuller effect to the area treated. This is good for clients with hollow features.
