FAQ'S TOP 8

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS

1. ¿How many sessions do I need to see results? (WOOD THERAPY)

It depends on the person, age, their diet, physical activity and the expectations they have for the treatment, but results can be seen from the first session. To get the best and longer lasting results, it’s recommended to have a minimum of 5 sessions to determine your bodies natural response to the therapy. Your Professional Carica Studio Therapist will make recommendations that best suit you.

2. ¿How often should I do the treatment? (ALL Services BASIC GUIDELINES)

Again depending on the person, but generally a session once or twice a week or every 10 or 15 days is recommended to get good results. Here is the following recommended Therapy Cycles for each Service we currently provide:

3. ¿Can I do the treatment if I am pregnant?** (wood therapy/lymphatic drainage)

Wood Therapy and Manual Lymphatic Drainage are natural and non-invasive treatments that can be performed during pregnancy under the supervision, recommendation and coordination with your doctor.** These treatments can be performed on the lower body area and face. During pregnancy, it’s common to have fluid retention, and these treatments can help drain excess fluids and make you feel lighter & less bloated.

4. ¿Is it better to do the treatment in the morning or in the afternoon? (YOUR mobile services option)

There is no difference in the time of day the massage is done. We recommend letting the body digest food up to 2 hours before ANY treatment for comfort. If your schedule is hectic you can take advantage of our Mobile Massage Services in the comfort of Your home at any time.

Just Book your Reservation as you normally would and advise us of when and where you would like our Friendly Therapists to arrive. It's what truly shows we care and makes Carica Studio Mobile Services Unique and Highly recommended for active lifestyles and busy home schedules.

5. ¿What should I do after a treatment?

You can continue with your daily routine as normal. We recommend drinking plenty of water or natural nutrient rich beverages/juices to help the body achieve better results. Doing some physical activity, yoga or stretching is also a good idea while the body is loose and has peak circulation.

Our Ayurvedic Wellness Therapy and SPORT Massage Sessions all start with a tasty Cold-Brewed Herbal Sweet Green Tea to help with Relaxation, Circulation and initiating the Detox cycle at no extra cost.

Our Herbal Blended Tea's are also available in 3pk/5pk for daily consumption in the early evening. (coming soon)

(unopened regular shelf life is 3-4 days, shake well before drinking)

*not recommended for those under 18 or during pregnancy or while consuming otc prescription medications

6. ¿Is it normal to have bruising after the treatment? (sensitive skin)

In some cases with select people, bruises may occur if they are more sensitive than others, but it is uncommon. Advise Your Carica Studio Therapist if this occurs so we can adjust treatment pressure, therapy frequency, etc. We want your experience at every session to be exquisite and comfortable.

7. ¿ARE ANY OF THE THERAPY treatments painful?

Any Therapy Treatment involving Muscle, Skin, Fatty tissue manipulation such as in our Wood Therapy, Gua-Sha or Lymphatic Drainage treatments don’t need to be painful. Our specialists ask the client how they feel and aim to work with an appropriate intensity for a pleasant treatment. We care for your body as if it is our own, so we want to make sure you get the best results and experience possible every time you visit with your Carica Studio Therapists.
