Lymphatic Drainage Massage: The Feel-Better Treatment Everyone Is Talking About
If you’ve been feeling puffy, sluggish, congested, or just off — a lymphatic drainage massage might be exactly what your body is asking for.
Lymphatic drainage massage (also known as manual lymphatic drainage, or MLD) uses slow, rhythmic, light-touch techniques to encourage the movement of lymph fluid toward key drainage points in the body. The result? Reduced puffiness and swelling, improved circulation, a lighter and less congested feeling throughout the body, and support for your body’s natural detox processes. Many guests also find it deeply soothing — especially during periods of high stress, poor sleep, or seasonal allergies. (Yes, Texas allergy season is real, and lymphatic massage can help.)
At Viva, lymphatic drainage is blended with your choice of Swedish or deep tissue massage for a fusion experience that’s both therapeutic and deeply relaxing. Sessions are performed exclusively by Licensed Massage Therapists who are certified in the Vodder or Klose technique — two of the most advanced and recognized methods in the field. This isn’t a generic massage with a trendy name attached. It’s a specialized service that takes real training to do right.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage at Viva: 60–90 minutes | $185–$245
Available at all five Viva locations in Austin, Round Rock, and Dallas.
Facial Balancing: Subtle, Sophisticated, and Completely You
Facial balancing is one of the most searched injectable treatments right now — and it’s easy to understand why. Rather than targeting a single area in isolation (one syringe of lip filler here, a little Botox there), facial balancing takes a holistic approach to your face as a whole by adjusting small imbalances, restoring volume where it’s been lost, and softening features that draw too much attention.
At Viva, our facial balancing philosophy begins with a thorough assessment of your facial structure, symmetry, and proportion. From there, our expert injectors use a customized combination of neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport and dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to deliver subtle, sophisticated results that enhance your natural beauty rather than change it. The goal is always to look like the best version of you — refreshed, balanced, and completely yourself.
Every facial balancing appointment at Viva includes a complimentary consultation with one of our expert injectors — no pressure, just an honest conversation about your goals and a plan designed around your unique features.
Facial balancing is available at all five Viva locations in Austin, Round Rock, and Dallas, with experienced injectors at each.
This is the right starting point if you’ve been thinking about injectables but aren’t sure where to begin, or if you want results that look like you — just better.

Microneedling: The Gold Standard for Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling continues to dominate the skincare conversation — and the before and after results speak for themselves. Whether you’re dealing with acne scarring, fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, or large pores, microneedling is one of the most effective ways to stimulate your skin’s own collagen and elastin production for real, lasting results.
At Viva, we offer two options depending on your goals:
Traditional Microneedling by SkinPen uses an FDA-cleared device to create precise micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. It’s safe for all skin types and colors with little downtime — most guests look like they have a mild sunburn for about 24 hours. Starting at $450 per session, or $1,300 for a series of three (which includes medical-grade skin care products to optimize your results at home).
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling takes things up a notch by combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy that goes deep into the skin’s layers to tighten, lift, and tone while also building collagen. It’s especially effective for skin laxity, deep lines, and acne scarring. Results are gradual and long-lasting, with many patients seeing noticeable improvement within six weeks. Starting at $950 per session, or $2,650 for a series of three (which also includes medical-grade skin care products to optimize your results at home).
Traditional microneedling is the right fit if you’re new to skin rejuvenation or focused on texture, scarring, and tone. Morpheus8 is the choice if you’re also dealing with skin laxity, deeper lines, or want more dramatic, long-lasting results.
Not sure which is right for you? Our med spa team offers complimentary consultations to help you decide. Microneedling is available at all five Viva locations in Austin, Round Rock, and Dallas. Morpheus8 is available at our Lamar and Domain Northside locations in Austin and in Dallas — and our before-and-afters speak for themselves. Ask to see results at your consultation.

Silicone Cupping Massage: A New Gentle, Gliding Upgrade for Your Next Massage
Cupping has been around for centuries, but we’ve just added it to our massage menu — and the version we offer at Viva is a far cry from the intense, mark-leaving cupping you might be imagining
Our silicone cupping massage is a 15-minute add-on to any massage service that uses a gentle gliding technique to lift tissue, increase circulation, release tension, and support the body’s natural detox. Dynamic cupping moves across the skin rather than sitting stationary, which means it typically leaves no residual marks. Think of it as a deeper reset for your muscles — guests say they feel the difference immediately.
It’s perfect for guests with chronic tension who want deeper results without more pressure, active guests who want to get more out of their regular massage, or anyone simply looking for a gentle, approachable way to try cupping for the first time. Your therapist will typically work 6–8 cups across the back, neck, shoulders, or any problem area that needs some extra attention.
Silicone Cupping Add-On: 15 minutes | $50 (add to any massage)
