SPA FAQs

Most people do not drink enough water to begin with and now that you are using an infrared sauna and sweating, it is even more important to stay properly hydrated. Always drink plenty of water before, during and after your sauna session.

You can go nude if you would like as more skin exposure is preferable, but be sure to put down a towel to absorb your sweat. Swimsuits or any lightweight apparel are ok as well. We recommend bringing clothing that are loose fitting and comfortable to put back on after your session.

Yes. We provide you with two towels. We recommend that you use one towel to lay on the bench and the other one to wrap yourself in.

The ideal temperature for an infrared sauna is between 110°F to 130°F. The radiant heat is more efficient because it warms you, not the air around you. We recommend entering the minute that we turn on your session to enjoy full benefits of the infrared. If it gets too hot, simply open the door for a minute to let fresh air inside.

Infrared saunas heat you gently and slowly, making it a relaxing experience for most people. You may find that you do not sweat for the first 10-15 minutes, or not very much at all your first time. With increased usage you will likely notice an increased ability to sweat more productively. After sweating you will feel great. You may notice glowing skin, diminished wrinkles, muscle and injury relief as well as a sense of relaxation.

When you finish your sweat, it is important to relax and cool down while your body continues to perspire. Sit or recline with a towel or wrap around you for a few minutes.

Pregnant women, individuals with pacemakers, those who have an inability to sweat. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using an infrared sauna.

Yes. By increasing your heart rate and core body temperature by 3 degrees in your session, it could take up to an hour to return to normal. We encourage you to stay active before or after your session if you want to maximize the calorie burn.

We take cleanliness very seriously and ensure the suite is fully cleaned in between sessions with non-toxic cleaning supplies. Additionally, infrared heat kills 99% of bacteria, creating an inherently sterile environment.

We recommend that you drink plenty of water leading up to (and after) the treatment and to not come in on an empty stomach, as you will most likely go in the infrared sauna. Also, we require that no laser, botox, or wax treatments be done 24 hours prior to or after the treatment

Yes, lymphatic drainage helps to boost collagen production and skin elasticity.

You can get a treat up to the day before a wedding or event, however for best results we recommend that you come in frequently leading up to the event instead of just once.

It is safe to get this treatment three weeks postpartum for a natural birth. If you have had a C-section, then we ask you to wait five weeks to get a treatment.

Our treatments help with reducing fluid retention, reducing inflammation, promoting collagen to the skin, anti-edema, anti-fibrosing, antispasmodic, tissue detox, and improving metabolic exchanges.

To prepare your body for the massage, we will apply our proprietary magnesium cream and wrap you in our osmotic wraps. Our in house magnesium scrub formula is mixed with other natural oils, which is used to increase your body's detoxification while in the infrared sauna.

No, actually for our post-operative treatments, we use more of a traditional lymphatic drainage technique around the scarred tissue. It is a slow, gentle, and superficial massage to focus on draining stagnant fluid and reducing inflammation.

You may start doing our post-operative Treatments usually four weeks after surgery, however, it can be done earlier with the doctor’s recommendation (a letter or email from the doctor is required). For optimal results, we recommend that you come in once or twice a week for three to four weeks (this could vary depending on how your body reacts to the treatment).

The lymphatic system is everywhere there is circulation, meaning it is everywhere! It helps to filter your blood from any toxins that would normally cause inflammation and swelling hindering functionality. Through lymphatic drainage, we have movement of stagnant lymph improving circulation and essentially boosting the effectiveness of almost every system in your body.

Nope, the detox is done through your lymphatic system for the natural release of toxins in your body. It is meant to boost your immune system not damage it.

Yes, it is certainly safe, as long as you feel comfortable coming in.

Laser hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the world. Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.

During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it may not result in permanent hair removal.

Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well. Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types.

Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Many clients say that the laser pulses feel like the skin slowly warming up. Most say it feels virtually painless.

Typically, clients come on an average of once every 4-6 weeks for 6-8 sessions. This will vary for every client and will be discussed during your consultation.

Risks of side effects vary with skin type, hair color, treatment plan and adherence to pre-treatment and post-treatment care. The most common side effects of laser hair removal include:

• Skin irritation. Temporary discomfort, redness and swelling are possible after laser hair removal. Any signs and symptoms typically disappear within several hours.

• Pigment changes. Laser hair removal might darken or lighten the affected skin. These changes might be temporary or permanent. Skin lightening primarily affects those who don’t avoid sun exposure before or after treatment and those who have darker skin.

Rarely, laser hair removal can cause blistering, crusting, scarring or other changes in skin texture. Other rare side effects include graying of treated hair or excessive hair growth around treated areas, particularly on darker skin.

Laser hair removal isn’t recommended for eyelids, eyebrows or surrounding areas, due to the possibility of severe eye injury.

If you’re interested in laser hair removal, choose a facility with a medical director and technicians who are trained and certified in laser hair removal.

Before laser hair removal, schedule a consultation to determine if this is an appropriate treatment option for you. Your technician will likely do the following:

• Review your medical history, including medication use, history of skin disorders or scarring, and past hair removal procedures

• Discuss risks, benefits and expectations, including what laser hair removal can and can’t do for you

• Take photos to be used for before-and-after assessments and long-term reviews

At the consultation, discuss a treatment plan and related costs. Laser hair removal is usually an out-of-pocket expense.

Specific instructions will be discussed to prepare for laser hair removal. These might include:

• Staying out of the sun. Follow your technician’s advice for avoiding sun exposure before and after care treatment. Whenever you go out, apply a broad-spectrum, SPF45 sunblock.

• Apply a daily Zinc-based Sunblock SPF45 or better. We recommend a Zinc based sunblock.

• Avoid any sunless skin creams that darken your skin. If you have a recent tan, your technician may reschedule your appointment.

• Avoiding other hair removal methods. Plucking, waxing, threading, and sugaring can disturb the hair follicle and should be avoided at all costs!

• Avoiding blood-thinning medications. Ask your doctor about what medications, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs, to avoid before the procedure.

• Shaving treatment area. Trimming and shaving is recommended 1-2 days prior to your laser treatment. It removes hair above the skin that can result in surface skin damage from burnt hairs, but it leaves the hair shaft intact below the surface.

• Arrive with clean skin. There should be no lotion, make-up, perfume, powder or bath/shower oil present on the skin in the area to be treated.

You might notice redness and swelling for the first few hours after laser hair removal.

To reduce any discomfort, apply ice to the treated area. If you have a skin reaction immediately after laser hair removal, the doctor might apply a steroid cream to the affected area.

After laser hair removal and between scheduled treatments, avoid sunlight and don’t use a tanning bed for six weeks or as directed by your doctor. Use a broad-spectrum SPF45 sunscreen daily.

Hairs do not fall out immediately, but you will shed them over a period of days to weeks. This may look like continued hair growth. The repeated treatments are usually necessary because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage.

Results vary significantly and are difficult to predict. Most people experience hair removal that lasts several months, and it might last for years. But laser hair removal doesn’t guarantee permanent hair removal. When hair regrows, it’s usually finer and lighter in color. You might need maintenance laser treatments for long-term hair reduction.

No, laser hair removal generally does not require any real downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin will be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities.

Intravenous (IV) fluid drips deliver saline solution or a lactated ringer through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. This solution usually includes medications and vitamin supplements that are tailored to the individual patient.

During therapy, the nurse inserts an IV line which is attached to a bag of saline or lactated ringer solution. The bag is then hung above the patient’s head. IV therapy bags are designed to let gravity, as opposed to a syringe or other forced technique, carry fluid into the veins over time.

The duration of a single treatment varies from person to person, but typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. The exceptions to this timeframe are our NAD IV treatments, which generally last 3 – 4 hours per session.

Our IV treatments typically last between 30 – 45 minutes depending on the individual. Our NAD+ and NAD+ Boost IVs take 3 – 4 hours per session to administer.

IV drip therapy is one of the most effective ways to deliver nutrients, vitamins, and fluids to your body, and is more efficient than oral supplements. This technique bypasses your digestive system and is administered directly into your bloodstream. Your body is able to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients and fluids since nothing is lost as a result of the digestive process. In addition, vitamins and nutrients become immediately available to your cells for use for fast results.

Freeze and Float offers unique IV blends, each tailored to address a specific set of health goals. We also offer custom-blended IV treatments based on your needs. This means that you can improve your overall wellness by targeting your individual needs.

Students, families, business professionals, and athletes are just a few of the types of people who can benefit from IV drip therapy. IV drip therapy can help improve overall health and wellbeing, boost energy levels, recover from illnesses more quickly, and address a variety of specific health targets and goals.

You are always welcome to call us if you are unsure if IV therapy is right for you. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about our services.

Our bodies need a consistent number of vitamins and minerals to promote homeostasis and optimal health. Vitamin deficiencies can contribute to a variety of acute and long-term conditions.

Antioxidants are an essential part of maintaining a healthy immune system, detoxifying your body and removing free radicals that can contribute to cellular damage. Antioxidants also play a role in energy production.

All of our IV infusion specialists are Registered Nurses (RN) who are trained and experienced in administering IV treatments. They are supervised by our Medical Director, who is an MD.

We offer a selection of vitamin and medication shots and IV add-ons, including:

· B complex

· B12 shot

· Glutathione

· Zofran

· Toradol

· Magnesium

· Biotin

· Vitamin C

· Selenium

That depends on who’s administering the IV. At Freeze and Float we have nurses who have extensive training with best practices for administering IVs. The majority of our patients will tell you they didn’t feel a thing. Some will tell you it pinched. No one has complained about pain. We do have several patients who are nervous about needles which is why we have special protocols to ensure safety and comfort.

The benefits of IV therapy are felt with a single treatment. On average our clients visit 1-2 per week, depending on the goals.

The human body is comprised of 60% water. When people are sick with food poisoning, hangover, stomach bug or other illness your body can lose a lot of water. When we lose fluids via vomiting, diarrhea, excess sweating, it’s important to replace those fluids to maintain the necessary bodily functions. Taking oral meds with an upset stomach can ultimately result in increasing your nausea and throwing all the meds up. Receiving the IV vitamins, minerals and essential fluids bypasses your gut and gives you the rapid relief you need.

Our Booster Shots typically take a few seconds to administer.

The duration of effects will depend on the individual but typically last on average of 5-8 days

Effects depend on the individual’s physical and health status. Typically, the effects become fully noticeable after 12 -24 hours.

Everyone has different needs and requirement and this will depend on the desired effect. Our patients receive Booster Shots on average of once to twice a week.

Yes, our Booster Shots only contain natural ingredients and water-soluble vitamins. The effects of the different shots can be synergistic and any excess will be excreted naturally by the body. We generally recommend a maximum of 2 shots in one visit.

Yes, and this is the ideal recommendation. IV nutrients and hydration are very effective at rapidly replenishing any deficiencies and helping the body establish balance. The Booster Shots then act as a reservoir for continuous release of nutrients, essentially prolonging the effects.

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin that plays an important role in many tasks such as forming red blood cells, maintaining the central nervous system, and other bodily functions. It is one of the most important vitamins because it performs essential functions like assisting in keeping a healthy blood flow and controlling key enzymes in the body. It is generally found in many similar foods and food products.

B12 can also help with things like improving your metabolism, helping your memory, and boosting your focus and concentration. It can also be used to aid with diabetes, male infertility, and osteoporosis, as well as, help prevent vitamin B12 deficiency.
