It’s already been one month. I’m realizing all over again how fast time goes. I went to the hospital for the first time in a while, saw the director, and got lymphatic massage and skin scaling. Honestly, I didn’t even know what lymphatic massage was and didn’t expect much, but it turned out to be a full one-hour massage. It isn’t done by a machine; a nurse carefully massages you by hand. I heard some places don’t provide any aftercare at all, so it felt nice~^^ Since I was getting a massage, I intentionally went with only simple basic makeup on. But they cleanse it for you; For anyone going for lymphatic massage from now on, you don’t need to intentionally go looking worn out like I did^^; It’s similar to a massage you’d get at a dermatology clinic. I lie down, and the nurse sits above my head and does it. The basic order is roughly cleansing - hand massage - steaming with hot vapor - skin scaling - mask pack - sunscreen & BB cream At the end, they even applied sunscreen and BB cream^^ It takes about 1 hour. I still have swelling left, so my cheeks and the inside of my mouth are firm, and on the left side, I still have a slightly tingling feeling, so I was a bit worried while getting the massage. Until now I had even been washing my face very carefully, but the nurse pressed while massaging me^^; That said, it didn’t hurt, and after the massage I felt like a lot of swelling had gone down and things had softened. I felt needlessly good, so even though it was hot, I walked around for quite a while^^ After the massage, I saw the director. I told him (complained a little;) that in the beginning the swelling went down well, but now it’s going down too slowly, and he said swelling takes some time, but eventually it will all go down, so I shouldn’t be too impatient. He also said that in my case, my swelling is going down a little slowly@_@ I posted photos before too, but up to 2 weeks it went down dramatically, and now it’s only gone down a little more from there. (Did I stay home too much...ㅠ_ㅠ) So if you’re worried because of swelling right now, I don’t think you need to worry too much~ They say it mostly goes down by around one month~^^ For the past month, I didn’t want to go out, wore a mask around on hot days, and had a hard time emotionally too, but now I’m hoping those things will gradually decrease. I’m scheduled to go back for one more scaling in 2 weeks, and it felt so cool and refreshing that I already want to go again^^ It’s hot out. Please be careful in the heat, and take care of your health~
