Body Sculpting
& Lymphatic Drainage
Shape. Smooth. Detox. Safely and naturally.
Body Sculpting
Our non-surgical body contouring combines vacuum therapy, radiofrequency, ultrasonic cavitation and a vacuum roller with infrared light in one session. It targets stubborn fat, smooths cellulite and tightens skin, with no surgery, no needles and no downtime. For extra tightening we also offer ultrasound body tightening.
Lymphatic body drainage gently stimulates your lymphatic system to reduce water retention and improve circulation, using manual techniques and advanced tools so you see results while you relax.
What it helps with
In three steps
Fat cells are targeted
Vacuum, warmth and ultrasonic energy work together on stubborn pockets of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise.
Skin is tightened
Radiofrequency warmth and infrared light stimulate collagen in the overlying skin, so the area firms as it slims rather than looking deflated.
Lymph is moved
Manual and mechanical lymphatic drainage moves the released contents and trapped fluid out through your lymphatic system, which is why hydration afterwards matters so much.
The honest detail
Body contouring is worth doing for the right reasons and a waste of money for the wrong ones, so let us be clear about which is which.
It is a shaping treatment, not a weight-loss treatment
If your goal is to lose twenty pounds, this is not the route and we will tell you so. If your goal is a specific area that has not responded to consistent diet and exercise, or skin that lost tone after weight loss or pregnancy, that is exactly what this is for. The results are best when your weight is broadly stable.
What the session actually feels like
Comfortable, and most people find it relaxing. Warmth, suction and a firm massaging pressure across the area, then the lymphatic drainage, which is the part everyone likes. Forty-five to sixty minutes. Tell us at any point if the intensity is more than you want and we will ease off.
Why the water afterwards genuinely matters
The treatment releases the contents of fat cells and mobilizes trapped fluid; your lymphatic system then has to carry all of it away. Drinking properly for the following day is not a wellness platitude here, it is the mechanism. Clients who hydrate and walk see distinctly better results than clients who do not, from the identical treatment.
What results actually look like
Reduced bloating and a flatter look often show up after the first session, which is encouraging but is mostly fluid. Real shape change is cumulative and becomes measurable around week three to four. We take measurements, not just photographs, because a centimetre off a waist is easier to trust than a memory.
Lymphatic drainage after surgery
This is a genuine clinical use rather than a cosmetic one. After a tummy tuck, liposuction or a BBL, drainage reduces swelling, helps prevent fibrosis and hardened areas, and speeds recovery considerably. We only start once your surgeon has cleared you, and we work gently around the surgical sites.

Before & after
What you do in the days either side of your appointment makes a real difference to your result. Print this, screenshot it, or ask us for a copy on the day.
- Drink plenty of water for 24–48 hours before your session, this genuinely affects your result
- Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before, do not come on an empty stomach
- No alcohol for 24 hours before
- No caffeine on the day of treatment if possible
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
- Come with clean skin, no lotions or oils on the area
- Tell us about any medical condition, implant or recent surgery
- Drink at least 2 litres of water over the next 24 hours, this is the most important thing you can do
- Keep moving: a walk the same day helps the lymphatic system clear
- Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours
- Avoid heavy, fatty or very salty food for 24 hours
- Mild redness, warmth or a slight tenderness is normal and settles quickly
- Avoid saunas and very hot baths for 24 hours
- Wear high-waisted or compression clothing if we have recommended it
- Keep your sessions to the schedule we agree, the results are cumulative
What happens afterwards
Careful, every time
Body contouring is a shaping treatment, not a weight-loss treatment, and it works best alongside a reasonable diet and some movement. We will say so at your consultation rather than after you have paid.
How we keep you safe
- Free consultation and measurements taken at the start
- An honest conversation about what contouring can and cannot do for you
- Treatment intensity built up gradually rather than starting aggressively
- Lymphatic drainage included so the treatment actually clears
- No needles, no incisions, no anesthetic and no recovery time
- Photographs and measurements at intervals so progress is real, not remembered
This may not be right for you if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device
- You have kidney or liver disease, or uncontrolled diabetes
- You have a history of blood clots or DVT
- You have an active infection, hernia or open wound in the area
- You have had surgery in the area within the last 3 months
- You are being treated for cancer, without clearance from your oncologist
Please tell us about
- Any medical condition, particularly kidney, liver, heart or circulation
- Any implanted device
- Any recent surgery, including cosmetic surgery
- All medications and supplements
- Whether you are actively losing weight
This page is general information, not medical advice. Every treatment at Permaskin begins with a free consultation, where we review your health history and tell you honestly whether this is the right choice for you. Individual results vary.
Good to know
When will I see results?
Lymphatic drainage often shows the same day. Shaping builds from around three to four weeks and keeps developing across the course.
Is this a weight-loss treatment?
No. It is a shaping treatment. It targets stubborn areas that do not shift with diet and exercise, and it tightens the skin over them. It works best when your weight is reasonably stable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people do six to ten, once or twice a week. You will usually feel a difference before you see one.
Does it hurt?
It should not. Most clients find it relaxing, similar to a firm massage with warmth. Tell us at any point if the intensity is too much and we will adjust it.
How soon will I see a difference?
Reduced bloating is often noticeable after the first session. Shape changes usually show from around three to four weeks and keep developing over the course.
Will the results last?
They hold well when your weight stays broadly stable. Fat cells that have been emptied can fill again if you gain weight, which is why the result depends on what you do afterwards.
What is lymphatic drainage for?
It moves trapped fluid and the contents released during contouring out through your lymphatic system. Without it the treatment is much less effective, which is why we include it.
Can I have it after surgery?
Lymphatic drainage is excellent after procedures like a tummy tuck, liposuction or BBL, but only once your surgeon clears you, usually after several weeks.
What should I do between sessions?
Drink water, keep moving, and eat reasonably. The treatment does the work; your habits decide how well it holds.
