Lymphatic Drainage Brussels
Professional lymphatic drainage at Alchimie Urban Spa, Brussels. We practice the Renata França Method — the most precise and results-driven approach to manual lymphatic drainage currently available. One session produces visible results. A course of sessions produces lasting change.
Located at Rue du Trône 222, 1050 Brussels (Ixelles).
What Is Lymphatic Drainage?
The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste, excess fluid and toxins from the body's tissues. When it becomes sluggish — from a sedentary lifestyle, surgery, inflammation, or hormonal changes — fluid accumulates in the tissues, causing puffiness, heaviness and fatigue.
Manual lymphatic drainage uses precise, rhythmic pressure applied in the direction of lymphatic flow to restore circulation. The effect is both physiological and deeply relaxing.
The Renata França Method
Developed by Brazilian physiotherapist Renata França, this method is known for producing dramatic results in a single session — measurably faster than classical Vodder-method drainage. The technique uses specific hand movements adapted to each region of the body, moving fluid efficiently and comfortably.
Results reported by our clients after a single session:
- Visible reduction in abdominal bloating
- Noticeably lighter legs and feet
- Reduced puffiness in face and hands
- Improved skin clarity and texture
- A profound sense of calm and wellbeing

Frequently Asked Questions
How many lymphatic drainage sessions do I need?
One session produces immediate results. For lasting change, a course of 6–10 weekly sessions is recommended. Monthly maintenance sessions keep the system flowing optimally.
Does lymphatic drainage hurt?
No. The Renata França method uses light, rhythmic pressure. The sensation is comfortable and many clients find it deeply relaxing — some fall asleep during the session.
Can I have lymphatic drainage after surgery?
Yes, with your surgeon's clearance. Post-surgical lymphatic drainage significantly accelerates recovery, reduces swelling and improves scar healing. We recommend starting as soon as your doctor approves it.
Can I combine lymphatic drainage with other treatments?
Absolutely. Drainage pairs well with infrared sauna (before), body sculpting massage (combined or sequential), and our recovery protocols for athletes.
