At Stretch*d Encinitas, we use hands-on techniques and slow, rhythmic strokes to move excess fluids toward the lymph nodes, easing bloat, fluid retention, and tension in the jaw that builds from clenching, screen time, or a long day in the sun.

Unlike traditional facial treatments, this sculpting massage works through movement and manual lymphatic drainage, not products. It pairs deep pressure through tight muscles with a lighter touch across the lymphatic system, helping unwind the jaw, neck, and shoulders while supporting a more contoured, sculpted look and a restorative sense of overall wellness.

Facial lymphatic drainage at Stretch*d is our Face*ssage.

Lymphatic work is the core of our Face*ssage, the 25, 50 or 55-minute facial treatment. Choose Restore for tension and drainage-led work, or Sculpt for contouring with PureLift and gua sha. Add the buccal enhancement ($50) for deeper facial muscle work.

This service is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

What to Expect from Your Lymphatic Massage in Encinitas

Your session opens with pathway work at the neck and collarbone before your Stretch*r moves outward through the face and body in rhythmic strokes. This detoxifying lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce inflammation, ease puffiness and reduce swelling around the eyes, and improve mobility through the jaw and neck. If you are under the care of a provider for a medical condition, check with them first and let your Stretch*r know before your session.

Your Stretch*r works through the face, jaw, neck, shoulders, and head, the areas a Face*ssage covers. Because this is the Restore Face*ssage, booking a Face*ssage is how you get it, and many clients pair it with red light therapy for a more complete approach to skin tone and smoother-looking fine lines.

With regular sessions, this restorative technique can also soothe TMJ discomfort, support recovery after stress, travel, or a hard workout, and help restore balance beyond how you look. Some clients add on the buccal enhancement ($50) for deeper facial muscle work, or book assisted stretching alongside their session to unwind the whole body, not just the face. Others simply build it into a regular wellness routine.

Anyone dealing with facial puffiness, bloat, muscle tightness, or tension in the jaw is a good fit, along with clients simply looking for a slower, more restorative technique in their wellness routine. It suits people who want a holistic, hands-on approach rather than a product-based facial. This is the facial work in a Restore Face*ssage, and it pairs naturally with the buccal enhancement or an assisted stretching session.

Deep tissue massage works deeply into the muscle with firm, sustained pressure, while lymphatic drainage massage stays close to the surface, using light, rhythmic strokes that move fluid through the lymphatic system rather than release muscle tension. That said, the two are not mutually exclusive. Many clients book a session that blends both, using deeper pressure through tight muscles in the shoulders and neck alongside the lighter lymphatic work through the face.

Yes. Hands-on techniques through the jaw and neck can relieve tension, improve mobility, and support a more contoured look over time, especially for clients who carry stress in the face from clenching or grinding.

Yes. Many clients add red light therapy to support skin tone, the buccal technique for deeper facial contouring, or assisted stretching to unwind the whole body, not just the face. Building a few of these into a regular wellness routine tends to produce the most noticeable, longer-lasting results.
