Beauty editors and A-listers alike have long favoured lymphatic drainage, Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, and the Kardashians among them. From manual methods to cutting-edge machines, Dubai now offers some of the industry’s most advanced and effective treatments.
Whether you’re looking to combat bloating, recover post-flight, or simply sculpt your silhouette ahead of an event, the question remains: how do you choose between hands-on healing and high-tech results?
According to Jenya Melay, the founder of Resync, the decision comes down to depth, speed, and the body’s unique needs.
At her studio, Endospheres Therapy takes centre stage, a next-generation treatment that uses mechanical microvibrations to stimulate the lymphatic system, boost circulation, and tone the skin. “It’s rhythmic, powerful, and precise,” she says. “Endospheres not only accelerates lymphatic drainage but also addresses cellulite, muscle tone, and skin texture in one go. For those with fluid retention, fibrotic cellulite, or post-surgical swelling, the results can be transformative.”
While machines like Endospheres offer consistency and intensity, manual methods still hold their own, especially when paired with expert hands. At SensAsia Urban Spa, Salina Handa champions a more holistic, intuitive approach. “Manual lymphatic drainage helps the body do what it’s naturally designed to do, flush toxins, reduce swelling, and reset the immune system,” she explains. “At SensAsia, we elevate this with Maderotherapy, a technique using wooden tools and light, deliberate movements to stimulate lymph flow without causing muscle soreness.”
The key difference? Manual lymphatic drainage is gentler, surface-focused, and rooted in touch therapy, ideal for sensitive individuals or those seeking a slower, more therapeutic release. Machine-led methods like Endospheres, on the other hand, can target deeper tissue layers, offering faster, more visible body contouring results.
Ultimately, both…
