What is a Massage and what will it do for me?
Massage therapy helps reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation, promoting relaxation and overall well-being. It enhances flexibility, supports injury recovery, and boosts the immune system.
Regular massage can also improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and provide mental clarity, making it a valuable health aid.

What is a Massage session like?
At a first appointment, please arrive 10 minutes early and fill out an intake form. Or you can print your intake form here and bring it with you.
​
Your session begins in a serene, private room designed for your ultimate comfort, complete with a heated bed and calming music.
-
Our skilled licensed massage therapist will start by discussing your massage intake form, addressing any specific concerns or areas you would like to focus on.
-
Once the therapist steps out, you can take a few moments to undress to your comfort level and settle under the sanitized sheets and blanket in the recommended position for your treatment.
-
You’ll hear a gentle knock on the door—let the therapist know when you’re ready to begin.
-
During your massage, don’t hesitate to communicate any preferences regarding pressure—you deserve to feel completely at ease.
-
After your rejuvenating session, your therapist will step out, giving you time to dress at your leisure.
-
When you’re ready, simply open the door, and your therapist will provide you with refreshing water while discussing your experience. They will also guide you to the restrooms, the relaxation room, or assist you in exiting through the lobby.
Don’t miss the chance to enjoy complimentary infused water while booking your next session, and remember to stay hydrated throughout the day to help flush out any impurities released during your rejuvenating massage at LaVida!

What makes the LaVida Hydrafacial different?The LaVida Hydrafacial is different because we include additional "spa" services to our 45 min treatment. We include a customized double cleanse, skin analysis and relaxing shoulder and décolletage massage. Facial Lymphatic Therapy is also included with every Hydrafacial.
-
How many Hydrafacials will I need?Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. We don’t believe in quick fixes, so one treatment per month is recommended to maintain skin health results.
-
Can I get a Hydrafacial right after injectable or filler?You must wait 2 weeks after filler or any injectables to get a Hydrafacial at LaVida.
-
Can I get a Hydrafacial any time of year?YES! While we never encourage being in the sun without SPF, Hydrafacial can be performed even in the summer - so you can get regular hydrafacials all year long! *Can not be performed on sunburned skin.
-
Can anyone get a Hydrafacial?Those with active skin conditions such as severe eczema, rosacea, or open wounds should consult with a dermatologist before proceeding. Overall, Hydrafacial’s gentle yet effective approach ensures that it remains a safe and popular choice for most skin types to achieve healthier, glowing skin. If you use injectables or fillers, you must wait at least 2 weeks prior to receiving a Hydrafacial. Please note that all treatments are at the discretion of our Esthetician. You will not be charged if your Esthetician decides that a treatment is unsafe or inappropriate.

“I didn't realize...”
I didn't realize what a difference my monthly massage could make! Once I got on a schedule, I was finally able to sleep better and I feel more relaxed overall (not just when I'm there!)
