Managing Swelling & The Massage Technique

Significant swelling is normal during the first 2-3 days. Nurse Kim’s motto: “The more you massage, the faster you heal.”

Neck Massage

Massage upward, then back, then down toward the sides.

Face Massage

Always use firm, consistent upward motions.

Compression

Wear your V-Line lifting strap for 2-3 days (day and night).

❆ Ice Roller "Start using your ice roller on Day 2 or 3 after your massages. It works wonders for inflammation."
