Bloating and Fluid Retention

Drain. Detox. Restore.

Bloating and Fluid Retention Treatments in Chicago, IL

Fluid retention and bloating are often the result of a sluggish lymphatic system, which is responsible for regulating fluid balance and clearing waste from the body's tissues. When lymphatic flow is congested, the effects show up as puffiness, a feeling of heaviness, and general discomfort that can be difficult to shake.

At Therahaus Wellness Medspa in South Loop, Chicago, lymphatic drainage provides gentle, targeted stimulation to get the lymphatic system moving more efficiently. Patients consistently describe the treatment as one of the most immediately relieving and restorative experiences in our entire wellness menu.

What We Offer

Bloating and Fluid Retention Treatments at Therahaus

We offer lymphatic drainage, a specialized therapeutic treatment that uses light, rhythmic manual techniques to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce fluid retention, and support the body's natural detoxification processes. The treatment is deeply relaxing, completely non-invasive, and appropriate for patients dealing with chronic puffiness, post-procedure swelling, or general fluid retention. Regular sessions deliver cumulative benefits and are a valuable addition to any whole-body wellness routine.

FAQ

Any Questions?

Yes, lymphatic drainage is one of the safest and most gentle therapeutic treatments available, involving no medication, needles, or devices. It is suitable for virtually all patients and is frequently recommended as a complementary treatment following aesthetic procedures to support healing and reduce post-treatment swelling.

Lymphatic drainage stimulates the contraction of lymphatic vessels and encourages the movement of stagnant fluid toward the lymph nodes, where it can be filtered and reabsorbed by the body. This process reduces the fluid accumulation in the tissues that causes puffiness and bloating, restoring a lighter, less congested feeling throughout the body.

Lymphatic drainage is our primary treatment for bloating and fluid retention, using gentle, rhythmic techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system and improve the body's ability to clear excess fluid and metabolic waste. It is a completely non-invasive, deeply relaxing treatment that produces noticeable improvements in lightness and comfort after a single session.

Drinking plenty of water in the hours following your lymphatic drainage session is the most important aftercare step, as adequate hydration supports continued lymphatic flow and the flushing of mobilized waste products. Light movement such as walking and avoiding alcohol and processed foods on the day of treatment further enhances and extends the results.

Many patients experience significant relief from bloating and fluid retention after a single lymphatic drainage session, with cumulative benefits building progressively through regular appointments. For patients with chronic fluid retention, a series of weekly or biweekly sessions is recommended initially before transitioning to a monthly maintenance schedule.

Yes, lymphatic drainage pairs excellently with IV therapy, medical weight loss, and other wellness treatments at our South Loop medspa as part of a comprehensive approach to whole-body health. Combining treatments that support both internal nutrition and lymphatic function produces more significant and well-rounded wellness results.

What Our Patients Say

Got an amazing hydrofacial with Morgan and my face feels so clean. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. She made sure to care for my sensitive skin and make adjustments based on it. Also I got some skin care products that I absolutely cannot go back from! My skin has never felt so good and I will definitely be going back! Thanks again Therahaus!

Zijia Wang

I had an amazing experience at this new medspa! The staff was incredibly friendly and professional from the moment I walked in. The facility was beautiful and clean, which immediately put me at ease. I was a bit nervous at first, but my provider, Morgan, was so knowledgeable and walked me through every step, making the whole process smooth and comfortable. I'm thrilled with my results and I can already see an improvement in my skin. I highly recommend this spa and cannot wait to come back!

Dina Andriopolous

What I loved most about Therahaus was that it had such a “family” atmosphere and it was very warm environment. I thought the services were very fairly priced (I received the Hydrafacial), and the location was more than convenient. It’s right off Lake Shore Drive and walkable to Ricobene’s! (IYKYK). Taking the wife next time so she can experience what I did. Will be back no doubt.

Ryne Haberkorn

I was nervous going into my first laser treatment, and the staff immediately made me feel comfortable. They were warm, patient, and explained everything so thoroughly. Definitely a one stop shop as they have all the newest treatments etc. Huge shoutout to Angie! She’s truly the best and made the entire experience so easy. They even offered snacks and a drink… honestly the relaxing day I didn’t know I needed. I’ll 100% be returning.

Kylie Apple

Had an amazing experience with the Therahus team! It was the first time I had IV therapy and can't reccomend it enough. Just what I needed post Bears 2026 season heartbreak :( Also, tried the hydrafacial - did not realize how much I needed it with the winter season. CAN NOT speak highly enoughabout the team. Everyone took great care of me - making me feel comfortable despite it being my first med spa experience. In addition, they were all so knowledgable about all the treatments and this is coming from a med student who just finished his skin block ;) will definitely be visiting in the near future to keep my skin glowing during this winter season!

Ryan Pan

The location is great and the range of services is extensive. The staff is super knowledgeable about all the treatment options and they provide comprehensive and unbiased information. Plus the owners are some of the nicest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet!

Joseph Chavez

I had the best and most tailored experience EVER at Therahaus. I got the hydrafacial, IV drip, and lymphatic drainage massage, and it was the most perfect experience ever. Dr. Beltsos made me feel so comfortable and empowered, and I left glowing. I ended up getting the facial membership because it's such a bang for your buck, and I'm so excited to maintain this GLOW. Thank you Dr. Beltsos and team!!! I'm recommending to everyone!!!

Elaine Yoon

I don't have a single negative thing to say about Therahaus. I mean just wow! I haven’t been to this med spa before, so I was a little nervous about what to expect, but Dr. Beltsos and the entire staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and immediately put me at ease. They took the time to explain the procedures, the tools and machines they will use and how they work to the care routine afterwards, which made me feel very comfortable. The results were amazing. The location was also very convenient and easy to get to and lots of parking nearby, and the services were very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend them.

Raj Mitra

I had an excellent experience at Therahaus Med Spa. The space is modern, calm, and thoughtfully designed, but more importantly, the care is genuinely clinical and professional, not sales-driven. The staff took the time to explain options clearly, answered questions directly, and never pushed unnecessary treatments. What stood out most was the balance between medical rigor and comfort. You feel like you are in capable hands, with practitioners who know what they are doing and take pride in doing it well. Everything from scheduling to follow-up was smooth and well organized. If you are looking for a med spa that prioritizes expertise, transparency, and results over hype, Therahaus is worth your time.

They took the time to answer my questions and checked in throughout my visit.The spa itself was very clean and well-maintained, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. Overall, I highly recommend Therahaus Wellness Spa if you’re looking for excellent service in a clean, peaceful setting. I’m very happy with my Botox results and will definitely be returning!

Demetrius Beasley

I’m genuinely blown away by this place. The fact that it’s owned and actively run by an MD already sets it apart from so many med spas where the physician isn’t closely involved. Dr. Beltsos was incredibly thorough, walking me through every step before and during my BBL and Halo treatments. I felt completely supported the whole way. And Justin, the manager, wasn’t just in the background, he was knowledgeable, engaged, and truly invested in my experience. Top-tier care from start to finish.
