Think you need to book a spa appointment if you want the lifted and sculpted results of a professional lymphatic drainage facial massage? We have some good news. With the right technology, you can get spa quality results at home—and it only takes a few minutes. We’ll explain how step by step.
What Does a Lymphatic Drainage Facial Do?
A lymphatic drainage facial is a spa treatment that uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to drain excess fluid and toxins away from facial tissues. Lymphatic drainage face massages are a staple for celebrities before red carpet events, because of their almost magical ability to reduce puffiness and leave skin looking instantly refreshed, sculpted and contoured. Jennifer Aniston, Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande are just some of the A-listers who count on this treatment as part of their glam prep.
Professional estheticians use specialized facial massage techniques to get noticeable results in one treatment, and we don’t blame you for thinking it’s impossible to get results like that at home. But here’s the thing…you can recreate the sculpting and depuffing results of a professional lymphatic drainage facial. The secret is using a sonic device like DERMAFLASH COOL, which takes the guesswork out of lymphatic drainage massage.
“COOL uses high-level sonic waves to stimulate lymphatic drainage and copper cooling technology to instantly soothe and reduce inflammation,” explains licensed esthetician Billie Jo Bond. “You don’t need to rely on manual pressure and special techniques like professionals do. The ‘micro movements’ of the sonic waves are doing that work for you automatically.”
Want to reduce undereye bags, sculpt your jawline, and bring out your cheekbones at home? COOL will give you the results you’re looking for. It’s the ideal at-home beauty treatment before a big event—or anytime you want to instantly refresh and revive your skin.
How to Do a Lymphatic Drainage Facial Massage at Home (Step-by-Step)
Grab your COOL device and follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Prep Your Skin with HYDRAFLASH
Start with clean skin, then apply HYDRAFLASH Active Cocooning Serum. A generous application of serum helps your device glide over your face smoothly, and as a bonus, you’re boosting the brightening and firming power. COOL’s high-level sonic waves stimulate microcirculation, which helps skincare actives absorb more deeply. (If you don’t have HYDRAFLASH, you can also use your favorite eye serum.)
When you activate your device, you can choose a gentle or invigorating massage. Just press once or twice. Both are safe, gentle, and effective—it’s just a matter of choice. “Sometimes I like to use the gentle setting around my eyes and the invigorating setting on my jawline,” adds Bond.
Step 2: Depuff your eye area
Your eye area is especially prone to fluid buildup because of thin skin and the fact that fluid accumulates around the natural fat pads under your eyes, causing undereye bags and swelling. To send bags packing, place your device at your inner corner and glide outward for 30-60 seconds.
Next, place your device just above the inner corner of your eyebrow and glide in a circular motion around your entire eye area for 30-60 seconds. When you’re finished, repeat on the other side. Both of these movements help move excess fluid that bases bags and puffiness.
Step 3: Sculpt your cheekbones + jawline
Allergies and hormonal fluctuations can cause swelling or bloating in your lower face, and so can outside factors like too much salt or alcohol. To help get fluid moving, focus on your cheeks and your jaw.
Start by placing your device right in the middle of your cheek. To find the right spot, place your fingertip underneath the pupil of your eye and trace downward until you can feel the bottom of your cheekbone. Place your COOL device there and glide upward along your cheekbone (toward your temple) for 30-60 seconds. Next, place your device in the middle of your chin and glide upward along your jawline (toward your ear) for 30-60 seconds. When you’re finished, repeat on the other side.
You can complete your COOL sonic lymphatic drainage facial massage in under 10 minutes. With consistent practice, it can become one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to support smoother, brighter, and more sculpted-looking skin at home.
