Common Questions

Massage and Facial FAQs in McLean, VA

Plain answers to help you choose a service and reach our center.

Text the service you want and your preferred day and time. We will reply to confirm availability.

Massage Questions

How do I decide between Swedish and deep tissue massage?

Swedish massage uses flowing strokes with comfort-led pressure. Deep tissue massage is slower and more focused on persistent muscle tightness. Tell us about your goal and pressure preference so we can discuss a good fit.

Should I book sports recovery massage after a workout?

Tell us about your activity and how your muscles feel. A recovery-focused session may address training-related tightness, but a new injury or unexplained pain needs medical evaluation first.

Can I ask for a quiet session?

Yes. Let us know what helps you relax, including conversation level and pressure preference. You can speak up during the session if you want an adjustment.

Lymphatic Drainage Questions

What does manual lymphatic drainage feel like?

It uses much lighter touch than deep tissue massage. We can explain the general approach before your appointment and discuss whether it fits your situation.

Do I need clearance after a procedure?

Please ask your surgeon or treating clinician before scheduling bodywork after a procedure. Share any clearance and restrictions with us when you contact the center.

Is lymphatic drainage a medical service here?

The listed service is wellness bodywork. A diagnosed lymphatic condition or unexplained swelling should be discussed with a qualified medical professional.

Facial and Skin Care Questions

How should I prepare for a facial?

Share your current products, sensitivities, recent procedures, and any skin concerns before the visit. This information helps guide a comfortable service discussion.

What is the difference between customized and deep cleansing facials?

A customized facial is guided by your current skin goals and preferences. A deep cleansing facial puts more emphasis on cleansing. Contact us if you are unsure which to choose.

Can you treat a diagnosed skin condition?

Our facials are skin care services, not medical diagnosis or treatment. Speak with a dermatologist about a diagnosed or persistent condition before booking a facial.

Yoga, Wraps and Enhancements

Are rehab yoga classes medical rehabilitation?

No. They are wellness movement classes. Ask your clinician about joining after an injury or procedure and share any movement restrictions.

Does the BIOSLIMMING wrap guarantee inches lost?

No. We offer it as an aesthetic body-care treatment and do not promise a measurement or weight-loss result.

Can I add hot stone or aromatherapy to any visit?

Ask which enhancement fits your chosen treatment. Suitability depends on the service, your skin and health details, and availability.
