How the method works
Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses light, deliberate hand movements applied along superficial pathways to encourage gentle movement of interstitial fluid. At La Maison, therapists focus on rhythm and direction rather than pressure. The technique is administered in a calm environment and relies on trained touch to influence superficial flow, not deep tissue manipulation.
Sessions are structured around sequences that prioritize drainage pathways and patient comfort. Therapists monitor skin response and adjust pace accordingly. Because the method emphasizes direction and timing, outcomes depend on consistent application and individualized attention during the 90 MINUTES session.
What you should expect
A 90 MINUTES Manual Lymphatic Drainage appointment at our Short Hills spa is paced for relaxation and technique, beginning with a brief intake and positioning for access to the treated areas. You will remain clothed or lightly draped as appropriate; touch is gentle and deliberate, and therapists will explain each phase before proceeding.
Every client’s response varies according to recent activity, hydration, and individual physiology. Therapists will check in during the session to ensure comfort. The session cost is $185 and includes the full hands-on time and professional attention required for the method.
Scheduling and local logistics
La Maison’s Short Hills location schedules early, late, and weekend slots to accommodate commuters and local families. The salon is convenient for people using the Short Hills NJ Transit station and those shopping at The Mall at Short Hills, so you can plan treatments before or after travel and errands.
Please let reception know about recent surgeries, medical conditions, or medications when booking. Therapists will review any relevant information at check-in. For visitors coming from nearby towns like Millburn, Maplewood, or Summit, booking ahead is recommended to secure preferred times.
