massage therapy FAQs
-
Absolutely. Therapeutic massage is a vital tool for increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and improving range of motion. Many of our guests include regular bodywork as part of their wellness routine to manage chronic tension from desk work or to recover from intense physical activity.
Our spa series are designed for guests committed to long-term results. By pre-purchasing a set of treatments, you ensure consistency in your care while receiving preferred pricing.

Himalayan salt stones offer a therapeutic upgrade to the traditional hot stone experience. These stones are hand-carved from 100% pure Himalayan salt, which is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, ensuring an exceptionally clean and holistic treatment.
The Mineral Benefit: As the heated stones are massaged into areas of tension, they lightly exfoliate the skin and infuse it with 84 essential minerals.
The Effect: The combination of consistent heat and salt therapy helps to neutralize electromagnetic stress, calm the nervous system, and bring the body into a state of deep, restorative relaxation.
The Difference: Unlike traditional stones, salt stones help to naturally detoxify the skin while softening tight muscle tissue.

We offer several premium enhancements, including CBD wellness rituals, hot Himalayan salt stone, cupping, reflexology, and aromatherapy. These additions are designed to deepen relaxation and target inflammation.

CBD is highly regarded for its natural anti-inflammatory properties. When applied topically during a massage or spa treatment, it works to significantly reduce muscle soreness, relieve joint stiffness, and soothe chronic tension. It is an ideal choice for those recovering from sports injuries, managing arthritis, or simply looking to accelerate full-body recovery.
-
Absolutely. Our CBD collection utilizes high-quality, hemp-derived cannabidiol that is specifically formulated for therapeutic use. CBD is non-psychoactive (will not result in a ‘high’) and federally legal.

The Melt-Away Massage is a targeted therapeutic session designed to alleviate sinus pressure, tension headaches, and jaw pain. This ritual is particularly effective for those suffering from allergies or high-stress environments. You may choose a 60, 75, or 90 minute session.
The Technique: We combine traditional massage with precise acupressure point therapy and a curated array of pure essential oils.
The Modality: This service utilizes hot and cold therapy alongside our exclusive melt-away product to reduce inflammation and stimulate drainage.
The Focus: Treatment is concentrated on the head, neck, face, and jaw to “melt away” the primary triggers of upper-body tension.

Your comfort is our priority. Most guests undress completely for their service, but you are welcome to leave on undergarments if you prefer. You will be professionally draped with sheets at all times, with only the specific area being worked on exposed.
-
To maximize the benefits of your treatment, we recommend drinking plenty of water to help flush the system and staying mobile with light stretching. Many guests find that using our aromatherapy steam shower or taking a warm bath at home following a session helps prolong the feeling of muscle relief and relaxation.

One of the reasons we love the Hydrafacial is that it offers “red carpet results” with zero downtime. For our clinical peels, downtime varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Most guests experience a healthy glow immediately, while deeper resurfacing treatments may involve a few days of mild flaking as your skin renews itself.
-
Yes, you may add an oxygen treatment, dermaplaning, peel, or LED light therapy to any facial service. We also offer gua sha facials for extra toning, firming, and detoxification.
In addition, professional lash lifts, tinting, brow shaping, and lamination are available in our Prairie Village spa.
-
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to trigger the skin’s natural repair processes. It is a painless, “zero-downtime” way to enhance any facial and is included in the Platinum Hydrafacaial.
Blue/Green Light: Targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria. Ideal for clearing active breakouts, calming inflammation, and preventing future congestion.
Red Light: Penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Best for reducing fine lines and speeding up healing.
Yellow Light: Focuses on the skin's surface to brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots. It is highly effective for improving overall skin tone and radiance.
The Benefit: We often use a combination of these wavelengths to address multi-faceted concerns, such as adult acne where clearing, brightening, and anti-aging are all priorities.
-
The fassage is our premier 90-minute “hybrid” ritual. It combines a signature facial with full-body hydration and massage therapy, offering a comprehensive skin and wellness treatment for the entire body.
The Experience: You receive the targeted results of a professional facial alongside the deep relaxation of a therapeutic massage, ensuring no part of the body is overlooked.
The Benefit: While a standard facial stops at the décolleté, the fassage utilizes high-performance hydration to treat the skin of the entire body.
-
For optimal results, we recommend a professional treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. This timeline aligns with your skin’s natural cellular turnover cycle, allowing us to deeply cleanse pores and treat new skin cells as they surface.
For Hydrafacials, we recommend every 4 weeks, allowing the cumulative benefits to address fine lines, tone, and texture over time.
