You are able to undress to your level of comfort. Many
people prefer to keep their underwear on during a massage, while
others prefer to be nude. If your problem area is your low
back, hips, buttocks, or groin, tight-fitting or large underwear
can sometimes get in the way of massage work. There are
several types of massage therapy that can be done fully clothed. Craniosacral Massage Therapy,
Bowen Therapy, and Active Isolated Stretching Therapy.
Hair does not change the way you are massaged, and it doesn't
change the way your body responds to the massage treatment. Men
have massage therapy without shaving their legs! If not shaving
your legs before a massage really bothers you, simply request
that you not get your legs treated until next
massage, but it's really not anything to worry about.
Regular massages target the muscles, whereas lymphatic
drainage massages address the skin in order to improve the
efficiency of the lymphatic system. “A lymphatic drainage
massage is different than getting a regular massage in the sense
that long, rhythmic, wave-like strokes are used to open and then
shut the lymphatics. After
many surgeries the lymphatic channels are disrupted and
take about two to three months to make new connections
so adding a series of lymphatic massages to a patient’s
post-op care routines can benefit their recovery.
The massage technique helps to reduce swelling and improve
aesthetic results by decreasing congestion of the tissue
because this massage
moves the extra fluid towards the lymphatic tissue so
that it is more quickly absorbed by the body.This
process can also help prevent infection.
It's not unusual for the skin to have a bit of irritation, which
all depends on what type of facial and exfoliation or peels
used. Skin sometimes purges a day or two after because
extractions cause the skin to get rid of the toxins hanging out
just below the surface. When this happens, the skin can break
out in whiteheads or pimples, and it can be inflamed and red.
But, a day or two after your facial... you should have glowing, hydrated, smoother, rosy skin!
Facials help your skin detox and provides antioxidants to help skin glow, and be more healthy and elastic
Q. Does hair waxing hurt? A. Honestly, it's just the
first time waxing that hurts the most, but the good news is, if
you wax regularly, less hair is removed each time resulting in
less discomfort!
Q. Will the hair grow back darker,
stronger, or thicker? A. Absolutely not! When hair is
shaved, it is cut off at the thickest part of the hair, which is
why you feel stubble the next day. When we wax, we remove the
hair from the root. When the hair grows back it’s a new hair,
very fine and soft, so there is no stubble. The only things that
actually promote hair growth are hormones and heredity.
Q. How often will I need it done? A. Recommended frequency
is once a month, at about the same time every month. Regular
waxing reduces hair growth.
Q. What can I do to prevent
ingrown hairs? A. Most people rarely get ingrown hairs or
irritation with waxing.
First of all, your feet are not ugly! They have an important job
to do... and they do it well. Regular pedicures will enhance all
of the positives and make you feel better about your feet.
In hair removal by threading is fast and simple. A thin cotton or polyester
thread is doubled, then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of
unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike
tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time,
threading can remove short rows of hair. It’s extremely
sanitary. Nothing but the thread touches the skin, and it’s
thrown away after use. It’s great for people with unruly brows.
Threading has an amazing ability to be incredibly concise when
it comes to removing hair. No chemicals are applied to the skin.
If you’re unable to wax or use depilatories, then threading is
ideal. It’s fast and it thins out the hair growth over time.
