Swedish Massage in Dallas

Swedish Massage

This classic relaxation massage, a favorite at our Dallas spa, uses long, flowing strokes to gently calm the nervous system. The primary goal is to improve circulation and guide you into a state of deeply relaxing full-body reset, melting away stress from head to toe.

About Therapeutic Massages in Dallas Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Lymphatic Drainage and Brazilian Detox Therapy?

Lymphatic drainage massage in Dallas vs Brazilian Detox body sculpting

Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, medical-style massage that helps move lymph fluid, reduce swelling, and support healing. It is the gold standard after surgery or for people who retain fluid easily.

Brazilian Detox Therapy, on the other hand, is a sculpting treatment. It combines more aggressive manual lymphatic techniques, deep massage, and often a snug body wrap to visually contour the waist, hips, and legs. Results are mainly cosmetic and temporary, aimed at de-bloating and smoothing for events.

How soon after plastic surgery can I get a post-surgical massage?

Post-op massages in Dallas after lipo or BBL

Most surgeons approve gentle lymphatic drainage massage as early as 24 to 48 hours after surgery, especially after liposuction or BBL, to help reduce swelling and hardness.

However, you should not receive deep tissue, Swedish, or Brazilian sculpting work directly over surgical areas for at least 6 to 8 weeks, or until your surgeon clears you. Too much pressure too soon can disturb fat transfer, stitches, or internal healing.

We always follow your surgeon's protocol and can coordinate your schedule around follow-up visits.

Will the Brazilian Detox Body Wrap make me lose weight permanently?

Massages in Dallas for contouring vs true weight loss

Brazilian Detox and similar sculpting wraps do not create permanent fat loss. The slimming effect comes from moving fluid, releasing trapped lymph, and encouraging the body to flush excess water and waste.

You can leave the session looking visibly tighter and less bloated, which is great for a same-day event. Without lifestyle changes, though, the fluid gradually returns over the next few days.

Think of Brazilian Detox as an aesthetic boost and confidence builder, not a replacement for nutrition, exercise, or medical body-contouring.

Is Deep Tissue massage supposed to hurt?

Deep tissue massage Dallas: good pressure vs bad pain

A proper deep tissue massage should feel like productive, "hurts-so-good" pressure, not sharp pain that makes you hold your breath or tense up.

In Dallas, therapists often differentiate deep tissue (slow, focused pressure into deeper layers of muscle) from sports massage, which also includes stretching and targeted work on specific problem areas.

If you are bracing, lifting off the table, or wincing, the pressure is too much. Let your therapist know so they can adjust and keep the work effective and safe.

Is it safe to get a Prenatal Massage in the first trimester?

Prenatal massage in Dallas: when you can start

Most reputable spas and pregnancy-focused massage therapists in Dallas wait until the second trimester (around week 13) to perform prenatal massage. The first trimester carries a naturally higher miscarriage risk, so massage is avoided for safety and liability reasons.

Once you reach the second and third trimesters, prenatal massage can help ease back pain, hip tension, swelling, and stress when performed by a trained therapist using pregnancy-safe positioning and techniques.

At our spa, Prenatal Massage is priced at $148 per session (new clients receive 20% off their first visit: $118.40).

What is the main benefit of a Sports Stretch Massage if I am not an athlete?

Therapeutic massages in Dallas for desk and commute stiffness

Sports Stretch Massage is less about being an athlete and more about releasing tight, shortened muscles. It uses assisted stretching and targeted massage to open hips, hamstrings, and shoulders that get locked up from long hours at a desk or in traffic.

Many clients who do not identify as "sporty" choose this service specifically to improve posture, reduce low-back pain, and feel more mobile throughout the day.

Why is Hot Stone Massage more expensive than a regular Swedish massage?

Massages in Dallas: why Hot Stone has a higher rate

Hot Stone Massage costs more because it requires additional equipment, time, and training. The stones must be carefully sanitized, brought to the correct temperature, and handled safely throughout the session.

The payoff is that the heat warms and relaxes your muscles before deeper work begins, allowing the therapist to reach deeper layers with less discomfort than a traditional deep tissue massage.

It is an ideal option when you want both deep relief and a very soothing, spa-like experience.

How much do these massages typically cost in Dallas?

Massages in Dallas: pricing and new-client discounts

Pricing depends on the type of massage and the level of specialization:

  • Standard massages (Swedish and Deep Tissue): Typically in the $110 to $140 range for a 60-minute session.
  • Prenatal Massage: $148 for 60 minutes (new clients 20% off first visit: $118.40).
  • Specialized massages (Sports, Hot Stone, Lymphatic): $170 for 60 minutes (new clients 20% off first session: $136).
  • Brazilian Detox / Sculpting sessions: Often priced higher and sold in packages, since one treatment is rarely enough for long-term contouring results.

At your consultation we will match you with the right massage type, explain the pricing clearly, and apply any new-client offers available that day.
