The suggested amount is 15%-20% of the session price.

Facial FAQ
-
We recommend booking at least a 90-minute session for your first visit. This allows for a full consultation, assessment of your skincare routine, and a deeply restorative treatment tailored to your needs.
-
For optimal skin health, we suggest a facial every 4-6 weeks. However, frequency may vary based on your skin concerns and goals.
-
We carefully select our product lines to be free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and irritants, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
-
Yes, we offer facials with products and tools that are pregnancy safe. Mamas deserve to be deeply cared for, so book a facial with us to restore your body, mind, and spirit.
-
Avoid prolonged sun exposure before a treatment. Avoid exfoliation the day before, during or after a facial service. Additionally, avoid being waxed or sugared for at least one week before getting a facial. Please stop all topical Vitamin C and Retinoids on the face, neck, and chest areas at least a week prior to your appointment. It is helpful if you come to your appointment with no make-up on, but we will be cleansing the skin either way, so it’s not a big deal if you arrive with make-up on.
-
You may feel sensitivity after your service if we did a lot of extractions or a lot of exfoliation. We recommend you avoid sun exposure the day of your facial and ideally over the first 1-2 weeks following your facial. Do not use any products with hydroxy acids and/or exfoliate in any way for at least 24 to 48 hours. It is recommended that you don’t do anything that would cause you to sweat a lot after your facial (avoid saunas, working out, hot yoga, etc.). Make sure to drink a lot of water and take it easy for the rest of the day as your skin and nervous system integrate post-service.
Glo2Facial FAQ
-
This facial is gentle, non-invasive, and fully customizable.
-
Absolutely. You’ll walk out with a healthy glow and no downtime.
-
Every 4–6 weeks for general maintenance. For enhanced results, this treatment is recommended every 2 weeks. Corrective care may require weekly RF Pro sessions.
-
Not at all. Most clients find it warm, relaxing, and soothing.
DiamondGlow® Facial FAQ
-
Every 4–6 weeks for optimal results—though even one treatment provides visible improvement.
-
None. You’ll leave with radiant, makeup-optional skin.
-
Yes. It pairs beautifully with LED, microcurrent, or radiofrequency. We suggest adding on our X08 Cosmeceuticals luxury face and mask duo (24-karat gold or liquid botox options) and/or combining your DiamondGlow Facial with full-body Manual Lymphatic Drainage for deeper rejuvenation.
-
While both treatments enhance skin clarity and hydration, DiamondGlow® provides a more advanced form of physical exfoliation, whereas HydraFacial® relies primarily on chemical exfoliation through serums and acids.
The DiamondGlow® wand uses real crushed diamonds to resurface the skin, delivering a deeper, more controlled clean and noticeably improved product absorption.
This mechanical precision allows the skin to fully receive SkinMedica® clinical infusions at the moment it’s most receptive—resulting in a smoother texture, refined tone, and unmistakable luminosity.
For those seeking the most comprehensive results, clients can book the DiamondGlow® Platinum Facial, which layers in a gentle no-peel peel, oxygen treatment, and dermaplaning for enhanced brightness, firmness, and an ultra-polished finish.
At Elysian Rose, every DiamondGlow® treatment also includes manual lymphatic drainage, a treatment mask, and a complete suite of finishing products — not just SPF, as is typical in many med spas — blending clinical precision with the serene, luxury experience our studio is known for.
Still unsure which treatment is right for you? Schedule a consultation, and we’ll tailor the perfect experience for your skin’s unique needs.
-
Both treatments deliver visible radiance and hydration with no downtime, but they work through distinct technologies and address different goals.
Glo2Facial™ uses a patented oxygenation technology that triggers the skin to oxygenate from within through gentle CO₂ activation on the surface. This process enhances microcirculation and nutrient delivery while providing gentle exfoliation and subtle firming benefits.
It’s ideal for those who don’t need deep resurfacing—perfect for sensitive skin, event prep, or glow maintenance when a softer touch is desired.
DiamondGlow®, by contrast, uses a precision diamond-tipped wand with vacuum extraction for advanced physical exfoliation.
This allows for a deeper clean, refined texture, and optimal product absorption, while simultaneously infusing SkinMedica® medical-grade serums backed by clinical research.
It’s considered a more corrective treatment, ideal for clients seeking improvement in tone, texture, congestion, or overall skin renewal.
At Elysian Rose, every DiamondGlow® session is elevated through hands-on manual lymphatic drainage, a treatment mask, and comprehensive finishing care—offering a uniquely restorative experience that balances clinical precision with calm, luxury comfort.
Still unsure which treatment is right for you? Schedule a consultation, and we’ll create a customized facial plan designed specifically for your goals and skin type.
Craniosacral Therapy FAQ
-
Clients receive treatments fully-clothed on a massage table. Clients often experience deep relaxation, a meditative state, or subtle physical sensations during the session due to the gentle, light touch, and energetic nature of the work. Sessions are highly customized based on where the client is in their health journey and what they’re experiencing in life when they arrive at their session. While much of the work is focused on the brain and spinal cord, craniosacral therapy is a full-body treatment that can address pain and tension in the connective tissue, resolve structural strain patterns and heal injuries, and alleviate unresolved somato-emotional patterns that may be contributing to holding patterns or resulting in dis-ease that’s showing up in the body.
-
Our owner has completed advanced training to support these populations. Please reach out to Elysian Rose for a complimentary consultation to discuss your unique needs. You can also book an appointment now and fill out our online intake forms. Every appointment includes detailed intake prior to treatments.
-
Yes, CST is extremely gentle, non-invasive, and safe for all ages. It is informed by an advanced understanding of anatomy and CST benefits are supported by clinical research. It’s important that your service provider demonstrate expertise and advanced training. Our owner has taken 7 craniosacral therapy intensive trainings, including 3 advanced trainings, with the esteemed and highly respected Upledger Institute, reflecting the gold standard of training.
-
Practitioner training is rooted in an understanding of physiological and psycho-emotional mechanisms of disease, as well as psychological concepts. These therapeutic frameworks draw from what Carl Jung called "active imagination," which is a way to bridge the gap between the non-conscious and the conscious. Along with imagery and conversation, active imagination can include dream work and art. This approach to Somato-Emotional Release also combines various Gestalt techniques from Fritz Perls and Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis framework.
-
Craniosacral Practitioners observe what shifts are happening for a client during the session, and as appropriate, dialogue is introduced to work with the client’s unconscious holding patterns that may have emotional components. Creative and therapeutic imagery may be utilized to draw on the client’s own inner wisdom and higher self to assist with their own deeper, integrated healing process.
-
Many clients report feeling deep relaxation, clarity, and a sense of emotional balance. Some experience mild detox symptoms such as fatigue, increased elimination, or emotional release, which is a natural part of the healing process as your body unwinds and releases what no longer serves you.
-
This depends on your individual needs and goals. For acute issues, 3-5 sessions are recommended. For chronic issues or deep emotional work, a longer series of extended treatments is beneficial. We will discuss your progress after each session and customize your treatment plan accordingly.

Lymphatic Drainage FAQ
-
The session requires the client to be fully disrobed, but the body will remain draped with a sheet throughout the session, with only areas exposed receiving treatment.
-
The Dr. Vodder method of lymphatic drainage is incredibly gentle and non-invasive. You should not experience any discomfort. Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing, soothing, and meditative.
-
We ask that you do not eat at least 1.5 hours before the session as every session includes abdominal work and deep diaphragmatic breathing. Please do your best to use the bathroom before the session and drink plenty of water following treatment. Avoid heavy meals or caffeine within a couple of hours before your treatment. Avoid alcohol for at least 12 hours, ideally 24 hours before your treatment.
-
You may feel a sense of lightness, relaxation, and increased energy. Some clients notice more frequent urination and elimination as the body eliminates excess fluids and supports enhanced digestive functions. Overall, if you can take it easy after your treatment, that will help your body continue cleaning itself out in the hours and evening after your session.
-
For lymphatic drainage sessions, it is strongly advised to book a 90-minute session to receive a thorough treatment that doesn’t feel rushed. If you are truly constrained with time, 75 minutes still allows for meaningful work. A 60-minute session may work for those who aren’t seeking full-body and face work and just want to target specific areas or support post-surgery healing.
-
For general health and vitality, monthly or weekly sessions are recommended for basic maintenance. If you’re experiencing any of the indications mentioned above, weekly sessions are optimal to alleviate symptoms and accelerate healing. Post-surgical clients may require multiple sessions over several weeks for optimal results. During your first appointment, we will provide a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.

Sugaring FAQ
-
The warmed sugar paste is molded onto the body area several times using a gloved hand. As this is being molded, the sugar paste is able to melt into the hair follicle allowing an easier, gentle extraction from the root. With a flicking motion, the hair is gently lifted out of the follicle by the root.
-
Sugaring removes the hair by the root, so you will feel the extraction and it may cause some discomfort. With repeated treatments, this sensation is often miniimzed as the hair becomes more refined and the hair bulb is smaller.
-
Rate of hair growth depends on the individual person. Expect to be ready for another sugaring session with 3-6 weeks. Hair can be extracted as short as 1/16th inch. For a quicker diminishment of hair growth, do not allow it to get any longer than 1/8th inch.
-
Sugaring is often gentler than waxing because it adheres only to hair and dead skin cells—not live tissue—reducing irritation, ingrown hairs, and post-treatment sensitivity.
-
Unlike shaving, sugaring removes hair from the root, resulting in longer-lasting smoothness, reduced stubble, redness and irritation, and fewer ingrown hairs.
-
All Sugaring
Show up to your appointment clean and freshly showered. Ideally with no oil or product on the skin.
No sun-tanning, ideally at least 5-7 days, but a minimum of 3 days prior to your treatment.
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine.
Take extra strength tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment if you’re sensitive to pain or in your menstrual cycle.
Facial Sugaring
Please show up to your appointment with no makeup.
If you’re receiving facial sugaring, stop all actives in your skincare regimen, including Vitamin A, Vitamin C, AHA/BHA, glycolic/lactic/salicylic acids at least 3-5 days prior to your appointment.
You must wait at least 1 week after a facial, 2 weeks after botox, and 4 weeks after filler.
Brazilian/Bikini SugaringBring a clean pair of underwear to use after you walk out of your appointment.
Take extra strength tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment if you’re sensitive to pain.
Use a tampon if you’re on your menstrual cycle. Ideally reschedule for when you’re at least 6 days into your cycle.
-
All Sugaring
You may feel a little sensitive.
Avoid any creams, lotions, or deodorants with artificial fragrances.
Do not go to the gym for 24 hours.
Do not use a sauna or steam room for at least 48 hours.
Do not use Vitamin A, Vitamin C, or any products with hydroxy acids for at least 24-48 hours. This could cause more sensitivity.
Salt Compresses
To speed up healing, you can apply a salt water compress. Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in a cup warm water. Saturate a cotton pad and apply to affected area.
Dead Sea Salt Soak — Dissolve a cup of Dead Sea salts to a warm tub. Soak for no longer than 15 minutes, or skin will become dehydrated.
Exfoliation
Be sure to use a method of gentle exfoliation on a regular basis to remove dead skin cells. The hair is missing out of the follicle for approximately 3 weeks. This allows the dead skin cells to grow over the mouth of the follicle. Exfoliating will allow the hair to grow up and out.
Brazilian/Bikini Sugaring
Please thoroughly cleanse the skin with gentle soap the evening of your treatment and following morning.
Medical experts recommended abstaining from sexual activity for the first 48 hours after any type of bikini wax. This time period is when your body is most susceptible to outside bacteria which can potentially cause an infection.
