sugaring hair removal
Backed by advanced training in skin health and barrier function, Elysian Rose sugaring goes beyond traditional hair removal.
Using an organic, water-soluble paste made from sugar, lemon, and water, each treatment removes hair in the direction of growth—minimizing irritation while preserving the integrity of the skin.
The result: smooth, refined skin with less inflammation, fewer ingrowns, and visibly reduced regrowth over time.
Hair Removal Refined Through Precision & Skin Expertise
Section Styles bg-right full-width line-top line-bottom
Each service is performed with intention and technical precision. Beginning with a brief skin and hair assessment, every detail—from prep to removal technique—is calibrated to reduce trauma and optimize results.
Sugaring adheres only to dead skin cells and hair, not live tissue, allowing for a cleaner removal process with less discomfort compared to traditional waxing.
Through proper technique and post-care guidance, we support reduced regrowth, gentle exfoliation, and soft, luminous skin.
Rooted in an ancient Egyptian method practiced for thousands of years, sugaring remains one of the most skin-conscious approaches to hair removal. Its simple, biodegradable formulation also supports a more sustainable, low-waste approach to treatment.
Face & Body Sugaring for Effortless, Beach-Ready Skin
Each service area is approached with a technique-specific strategy—designed to ensure efficient hair removal while maintaining skin integrity.
From facial sugaring to full-body services, treatments are tailored to hair density, growth patterns, and skin sensitivity—delivering a more refined, predictable result over time.

Highly Trained
“I’ve been to Elysian Rose twice now for lymphatic drainage with Destiny, and she is truly amazing!
First, she is actually trained in real lymphatic drainage. That matters. We called around to multiple places that advertise it, and when you ask questions, you quickly realize a lot of them are just doing sculpting or scraping and calling it lymphatic drainage. It’s not the same! If you specifically want true lymphatic drainage, this is the only place I would personally trust.
Destiny is highly trained and constantly investing in more education. I love that she takes her craft seriously and genuinely cares about doing things the right way.
I genuinely can’t say enough good things about her. If you care about quality, real training, and actual results (not marketing fluff), Destiny is it!!”- KELLY (Carlsbad)

Huge Difference
“Destiny’s attention to detail and thoughtful care to make the experience truly custom to your specific needs is unparalleled.
I first saw her for a manual lymphatic drainage massage, which was so incredible. I feel amazing during and after but most notably noticed a huge difference in how calm my nervous system felt.
I decided to come back to Destiny for a DiamondGlow Facial, which was equally as wonderful. I did not realize it included lymphatic facial components, my skin looked so hydrated and glowy after, and the first thing I noticed was how snatched my face was after, likely due to the lymphatic drainage.
I look forward to seeing Destiny again for both services and to try some of her others, and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable and incredibly dedicated to creating a magical experience for her clients.

Real Results
“I did a customized DiamondGlow facial with Destiny because I was dealing with postpartum melasma and dehydration that was causing forehead lines. The results were honestly shocking. My forehead wrinkles completely smoothed out, and my nasolabial folds looked tighter and softer immediately after. My skin looked hydrated, glowy, and healthy!
What really stood out to me though was her follow-up. After the facial, she sent me a very detailed, customized treatment plan based on the results I wanted. It wasn’t generic at all, it was thoughtful, specific, and clearly something she took time to put together. She even followed up by text to make sure I received it and to check in on how my skin was responding. That level of personal care is rare. You can tell she’s genuinely invested in her clients and their results. She also recommended medical-grade skincare. These products are formulated to deliver real results, and you can tell the difference.”- KELLY (Carlsbad)

Genuinely Special
“I had the most incredible experience with Destiny at Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness. I came in for a combined Reiki and Craniosacral Therapy (CST) session, and it was truly powerful. Destiny has such a grounding, intuitive presence — the healing work she did was exactly what my nervous system needed.
To top it off, she finished the session with an amazing custom facial. The nanoneedling and gua sha were so relaxing and left my skin glowing. I loved ending the healing treatment with a spa service — it made the entire experience feel complete, nurturing, and intentionally designed.
If you’re looking for Reiki in Encinitas, craniosacral therapy in North County San Diego, or a holistic facial with nanoneedling and gua sha, I can’t recommend Destiny enough. Her work is impactful, restorative, and genuinely special.”-CHRISTY (San Marcos)

Unique Approach
“I started working with Destiny because I found her approach to skincare and wellness unique from anyone I have gone to. I appreciate that she has a background in energy work, massage, craniosacral therapy and is passionate about holistic skincare. I go to her monthly for a lymphatic drainage massage and I always feel and look lighter after a session.
She recently recommended the Glo2Facial for my skin and I couldn’t believe how effective it was. The results were instant and it was by far the best facial I have received.
Destiny’s passion and knowledge for skincare shines and I always feel so cared for when receiving a service from her. She’s intentional about her practice and truly loves helping individuals feel and look better.”

Every visit has been such a relaxing, high-end experience, and the results truly speak for themselves.
I’ve received several treatments here, including the Glo2Facial, ISUN Lymphatic Facial with a microcurrent add-on, Rose Alchemy Facial, and the DiamondGlow Facial—and I loved the results from all of them.
Each facial left my skin glowing, refreshed, and noticeably healthier. “- ANAHI (Oceanside)

Best Facial
“Destiny came recommended by a friend. She gave me one of the best facials I've had in ages. I had the Glo2facial with RF.
The treatment itself was painless and left my skin glowing without any irritation. Her space feels warm, cozy, and thoughtfully put together which makes the whole experience feel extra relaxing. I appreciated her calm and grounding presence.
I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and completely renewed. Highly recommend her. Plenty of parking too! I look forward to trying the DiamondGlow next time!”

Transcendant Experience
“I am 65 years old and had my first Glo2Facial with Destiny to treat myself for my birthday. My former aesthetician had retired and I hadn't had a facial for over a year. My skin was dry and showing more lines and wrinkles.
Destiny is a gifted aesthetician and continues her education in order to bring more healing arts to her work: lymphatic drainage, cranio-sacral therapy and more.
I have never had such a healing and restorative facial as my Glo2Facial with Destiny. Destiny's calm presence and uncanny ability to see what my skin and body needed was a transcendant experience.
We are so lucky she has decided to locate her practice in the heart of Encinitas!”

Personalized Treatments
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Destiny at Elysian Rose, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and pampered. Her space is beautiful! The lighting is calming. Her consultation was thorough! Destiny's expertise truly shines through in every treatment she offers. I had the Glo2Facial with Radio Frequency, and it left my skin glowing like never before! This is my new favorite facial, and I can’t wait to go back! The combination of the facial and radio frequency worked wonders to rejuvenate my complexion.
To top it all off, Destiny performed the Vodder method of manual lymphatic drainage, it was my first time and it was incredibly relaxing and left me feeling lighter and more balanced. Destiny’s knowledge, warmth, and personalized approach make every visit feel special. I can't wait to return!”– NIKKI (Solana Beach)

Med-Spa Results
“I recently had an appointment with the lovely Destiny at her new serene location.
Her facials are much more than a simple spa facial meaning her tools and protocols are high impact but she takes her time and it's peaceful like a more relaxing facial experience.
I had the Glo2Facial and it truly did make my skin glow. It's so powerful yet gentle and I highly recommend checking it out or any other modalities Destiny offers.”

Specialized Knowledge
“I just had the most amazing spa treatment. Not just a facial but a pampering extraordinaire.
I booked an advanced oxygen facial called the Glo2Facial. It's definitely something I saved up for to have a special treat to get me through a stressful time. I was so ready for exactly this kind of self care.
Destiny carries amazing high-performance clean beauty skincare products to keep your newly pampered skin in great shape. She used these products in the facial, which left my skin hydrated and glowing. It felt so marvelous.
Destiny has created a lovely environment at Elysian Rose Aesthetics and Wellness Studio. I highly recommend her specialized knowledge and experience if you're looking to get a facial in Encinitas.”– Rosemary (Cardiff, Encinitas)

High Quality
“Destiny is amazing. I have been dealing [with] terrible maskne and congestion as well as bad experiences with my skin. Stepping into a signature facial with Destiny really gave me a good experience with my skin for the first time in a long time. She is very welcoming and all her products are clean beauty of high quality. After just 1 facial my skin looks miraculously better. She is very knowledgeable and is there to help you through your energy and skincare journey. Her massage was the best!!”

Firmer Glowing Skin
“I had a 90 minute Glo2Facial with Destiny. It’s an advanced med spa treatment that has patented oxygen technology along with light ultrasound to boost collagen production and improve product absorption. She also did extractions, gua sha, and light facial cupping. The serums she used with the ultrasound helped brighten, plump, tighten my face.
The next day my face was still glowing and my skin was much firmer. My skin was also brighter and my creams and makeup went on much better. I would highly recommend.”– HISAKO

Not only am I feeling much more grounded, relaxed and calm, but before my session, I had elbow pain that persisted for 2 months and was causing me a lot of trouble. It’s one day after my session and my elbow is feeling much better, which is absolutely priceless!”

Skilled Healer
“Destiny is a skilled healer. I made a craniosacral therapy appointment, specifically for mouth work. After her treatment I felt amazing. The session helped my jaw pain (TMJ), neck tightness, and it released tension in parts of my mouth that I didn't know I had - like the roof of my mouth. I'm no stranger to bodywork - even have some schooling in it - so I can confidently say that Destiny is well educated in craniosacral therapy mouth and jaw work.”

Tightness Melted Away
“I went to Destiny for a deep tissue massage as I had neglected self care for a while, and my shoulders had become as stiff as bricks. She worked on the right side first, and as she massaged me I could feel my left side starting to relax as well. After about 15 minutes I was dozing off. As my muscles continued to soften she did cupping on the area and the tightness continued to melt away. She also targeted my head and and the back of my neck. I felt so much lighter after the treatment and had a great night of continued sleep. I felt refreshed the next day. I highly recommend her!!!”

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.
