TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle method of skin massage. he therapy gently stimulates the lymphatic system; increasing the removal of waste, fluid and toxins from the area. As a result, MLD works to support healthy function and healing. The specialist MLD practitioners at Bella Vou use light skin massage and rhythmic pumping techniques to gently move the skin in the direction of lymphatic flow.
The massage stimulates the drainage of lymph and boosts the removal of waste products from the area. The lymphatics are the body’s waste disposal system, collecting any toxins that we need to get rid of. As a result, MLD offers many benefits including speeding up healing following cosmetic surgery, reducing pain, swelling and bruising and maintaining your body's normal healthy function.
MLD is generally a safe and gentle treatment. However, some people should avoid therapy and see their doctor. This includes people with heart failure, sepsis and acute renal failure.
Lymphoedema frequently develops following cancer treatment. For many people MLD can offer some relief from swelling and discomfort. However, people with malignant lymphedema as a result of active cancer should see their oncologist or cancer specialist before seeking therapy.
At Bella Vou we provide various payment options meaning you can spread the cost and enjoy a confident outlook at a price you can afford.
Prices start from £150 including a 30-minute consultation and 1-hour treatment.

I have been having treatments with Nikki for the past year after my prostate & bladder operation. I was also suffering with lower back & digestive problems & an old ankle injury. She has helped me tremendously with her magic hands & I would recommend her to anyone.

Nikki came to my house for my MLD massage and was not only incredibly professional but made me feel so comfortable. Nikki was very patient and made me feel at ease. Nikki made my post-operative experience calmer. She exceeded my expectation in every way. I recommend her not only for her amazing skills and professionalism but for her kindness too.

I’ve had a re-occurring shoulder injury for the past 4-5 years, after my very first session with Nikki I noticed a big difference in pain reduction & mobility. After five more sessions, I don’t have any pain & I am able to train as hard as I like without any limitations. I would highly recommend Nikki to anyone.

Professional service from start to finish. The clinic is beautiful and all of the staff are friendly. Dr Amir ensured I was having the procedure for the right reasons and actually talked me out of lower eye surgery that he felt I did not need. I have recommended Dr Amir to everyone and would not hesitate to go back for other procedures.

Amir is a amazing surgeon, after having botched surgery 7 years ago and never feeling happy with my result, I went to amir who was very professional explained that he will correct but not to expect a miracle and that is what he did, my body no longer looks saggy and old, he has made me love my body again, I’m so pleased with the result and have already recommended Amir to two of my friends.

I am really pleased with my lip lift. People are unsure what has changed but keep saying how well I look. In fact there is a marked difference when you see the reduction in my philtrum. I actually have teeth. The whole experience was straightforward and I was looked after well. Amir is the person I would recommend to anyone for this procedure.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Bella Vou, after years of research, I felt so comfortable in Amir’s hands, he is more than just a doctor. Him and Joy really are a dream team and kept me at ease throughout my procedure. Can’t thank you all enough!!

A friendly but professional team of people that made me feel super at ease at every appointment. I am amazed at the results of my recent treatment with Rohit and can’t begin to thank him enough for the difference it’s made and neither can my husband.
