Facial Frequency: How often is good?
Facial Frequency: How Often Should You Receive a Facial?
When it comes to Facial Frequency, is receiving a facial once a month enough?
To me, the answer varies. For the client who just loves the “spa-ahh” environment, it’s a great way to treat one’s self along with getting the benefits of treating the skin.

Deep Tissue Massage – Santa Barbara
Deep Tissue Massage
What you should know before booking a deep tissue massage
Deep Tissue Massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is also not uncommon for receivers of Deep Tissue Massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two.
Deep tissue work varies greatly. What one calls deep tissue another will call light. When receiving deep tissue work it is important to communicate what you are feeling.
How does deep tissue massage work? When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down this adhesion to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. If this is persistent pain, there will be a need to see a professional like a physical therapist. This can be sorted through websites like https://www.getluna.com/orange-county-physical-therapy so you get the correct help.
Will deep tissue massage hurt? At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range. There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage. If you have poor mobility then there is the probability your mobility may decrease. If nessessary you may need to have a mobile deep tissue massage therapist come to your home to perform the massage.
