The aim of MLD is to move fluid from the swollen area into a place where the lymphatic system is working normally. To do this, the specialist first uses specialized skin movements to clear the area that they want the fluid to drain into. The specialist might bandage the area. They use a specialized bandaging technique called multi-layered lymphedema bandaging. If it is not possible or necessary to use bandages, you usually wear a compression garment.
