What the treatment does
This service combines manual lymphatic drainage with Colombian wood therapy to address fluid retention, soft tissue texture, and surface contour. Lymphatic techniques move excess fluid toward regional lymph nodes, while wood therapy applies targeted mechanical sculpting to areas with concentrated fatty tissue and cellulite, aiming to support natural drainage and temporarily alter surface appearance without invasive procedures.
The two techniques work together rather than replace one another: lymphatic work focuses on circulation and removal of excess interstitial fluid, and wood therapy provides focused pressure and manipulation to specific body regions. Therapists tailor pressure and sequencing to each client’s needs, balancing drainage strokes with sculpting work to support a lighter appearance and improved contour over multiple sessions.
What to expect during session
A typical appointment begins with a brief intake to identify areas of concern and any medical considerations. The hands-on portion lasts within the full 60 MINUTES session and alternates gentle lymphatic strokes with focused wood therapy moves. You may feel rhythmic, light drainage techniques alongside firmer sculpting motions; therapists adjust intensity to comfort and response.
Dermal Era Holistic Med Spa’s Coral Gables location is convenient for Miracle Mile shoppers, commuters on US-1, and University of Miami students seeking lunch-hour quick treatments. We also schedule early-morning express appointments for commuters and weekend slots for visitors to the Venetian Pool, Biltmore and nearby attractions who want pampering around other plans.
Preparation and post-care guidance
For best comfort, arrive hydrated and wearing loose clothing that’s easy to change into after treatment. Because the session is a hands-on body treatment, you’ll be covered appropriately and only the treatment area exposed. Plan to allow a few minutes after the 60 MINUTES session to dress and receive aftercare tips from your therapist.
Aftercare typically emphasizes gentle movement and continued hydration to support natural circulation and lymphatic flow. Frequency and follow-up depend on your goals and response; some clients schedule a series for progressive contouring while others book occasional maintenance. We serve Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami and nearby neighborhoods for convenient follow-up appointments.
