What is Lymphatic Drainage? Liberty Asks the Ultimate Expert
Get the 411 on the hottest beauty trend from the expert leading the movement: Dimple Amani
By: Shannon Peter
Lymphatic drainage is having a moment. One quick scroll through social media and you’re almost certain to see those in the beauty know posting snapshots of soothing massages and luxuriously oiled skin – as well as some seriously impressive results. But there’s much more to this ancient technique than its glossy trending status, with its origins influenced by Ayurvedic principles alongside modern science.
To find out more, Liberty spoke to the woman at the heart of the lymphatic drainage movement, Dimple Amani, who’s coveted services are the star of Liberty’s beauty treatment selection.
Why do you think lymphatic drainage is having such a moment right now?
There’s a growing awareness around wellness and the importance of holistic health, and lymphatic drainage sits beautifully at that intersection of beauty and wellbeing. With the rise of de-puffing, sculpting treatments, and a desire for that lit-from-within glow, people are realising that true radiance starts with what’s happening beneath the surface. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling lighter, more energised, and connected to your body.
What exactly is our lymph system, and why does it need ‘draining’?
The lymphatic system is a crucial part of our immune system. It’s responsible for transporting lymph—a fluid containing white blood cells, waste, and toxins—around the body. But unlike the circulatory system, it doesn’t have a pump like the heart to keep it moving. That’s where drainage comes in. Without regular movement or stimulation, the lymph can become stagnant, leading to puffiness, fatigue, and a sluggish immune response. Gentle, intentional drainage helps get things flowing again.
What are the key benefits of lymphatic drainage for the face and body?
For the face, it helps to sculpt, define, and reduce puffiness—giving that natural, lifted glow. For the body, it promotes detoxification, reduces water retention, boosts circulation, and supports digestion. Emotionally, clients often report feeling deeply relaxed and rebalanced. It’s like a reset for your entire system.
What would you say makes the Dimple Amani method of lymphatic drainage so special?
The Dimple Amani method blends ancient Ayurvedic principles with modern techniques, creating a deeply intuitive and transformative experience. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s tailored to each client’s unique needs and energy. There’s a spiritual and energetic element to my work, allowing clients to not just look lighter and more sculpted, but to feel more grounded, aligned, and radiant from the inside out.
How often do you need to get a treatment?
It really depends on your lifestyle and goals. For maintenance and wellness, once or twice a month can be beautiful. If you’re preparing for a special event, travelling, or experiencing bloating or stress, weekly treatments may be beneficial. It’s about listening to your body and giving it what it needs.
Are there any ways to do lymphatic drainage at home between treatments?
Absolutely! Using our curated tools and products at home can really enhance and maintain the results between treatments. I recommend incorporating our Lymph Drain Body and Navel Oil and Miracle Velvet Facial Oil to nourish the skin and create the perfect glide for massage. The Kansa Wand is a beautiful tool for facial sculpting and energising, while the Body Tool is ideal for stimulating lymphatic flow on the body.
All of these are available to shop at Liberty, making it easy to create a ritual at home that supports both your skin and overall wellbeing. Gentle self-massage, breathwork, and daily movement like walking also go a long way in keeping the lymph system flowing and balanced.
