What Should I Expect When I Book a Med Spa Treatment?
Prior to performing any medical procedure, by law you must first be seen for a medical consultation for your safety. This appointment will last approximately 15-30 minutes. One of Viva’s physician assistants or nurse practitioners will complete a medical evaluation and treatment plan before medically clearing you to proceed with any med spa treatment.
When you call to book your first med spa treatment at Viva, our concierge will schedule an evaluation appointment. Once cleared, we will then schedule your medical spa treatment.
How Often Am I Required To Be Medically Cleared?
For medical spa services at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa, you will need a medical clearance once per year. Once our doctor or nurse practitioner makes an appropriate diagnosis and recommends a med spa treatment, you may receive the recommended treatment(s) for the following year without another visit with the nurse practitioner/physician assistant.

Day Spa For Beginners
What Should I Wear to the Spa?
At Viva Day Spa + Med Spa, we pride ourselves with being an upscale spa destination that is both welcoming and unpretentious. Your comfort is our priority.
Generally speaking, we recommend that you wear comfortable clothes. Before most of our spa and med spa treatments, you will be asked to remove your jewelry. That’s why we recommend you leaving bracelets and necklaces at home.
I’ve Never Had a Massage, Facial, or Nail Treatment Before!
No worries. Our experienced staff will walk you through the treatment, explaining what you’ll be experiencing every step of the way from beginning to end.
Can I Go to the Restroom During A Spa Treatment?
Absolutely. Your service provider will ask you prior to your scheduled treatment if you would like to use the restroom. If at any time during the treatment you need to use the restroom again, just ask.
Can I Choose a Male or Female Massage Therapist?
Sure thing. We have both male and female massage therapists. Please let us know your preference when you book your appointment.
How Should I Prepare For My Massage?
This question is so popular our massage therapist wrote this blog to cover all of your pre-treatment and post massage questions: What To Do Before And After a Massage
Should I Eat/Drink Before Coming to the Spa?
We suggest either eating a light meal prior to a massage or coming on an empty stomach. It is best to avoid drinking alcohol or limiting the amount of alcohol you consume prior to massage.
Eating and drinking is perfectly fine prior to skin care, nail care, and med spa appointments.
Do I Have to Get Completely Undressed for a Massage or Facial?
This is completely up to you. Most people choose to undress completely, and some choose to leave on their underwear.
Prior to your massage or facial, your service provider will exit the room for you to get completely comfortable. During a massage treatment, our massage therapists use a draping technique where the therapist will use the sheet to cover the entire body, except for the body part that is actively being worked on.
During a facial, you’ll wear a wrap under the sheet that allows your neck, arms and décolleté to be exposed for treatments. We do ask that any guests under the age of 17 wear a bathing suit or under garments while receiving massage or skin care services.
What Body Parts Are Treated During a Traditional Massage?
At Viva Day Spa, our therapists massage the back, neck, head, hands, feet, legs, arms, décolleté and gluteal muscles. If you would like to skip any of these areas, just tell your massage therapist. Or if you’d like special focus on one of these areas, let us know that as well. This is your time and experience, and we pride ourselves on delivering customized treatments that fit your specific need(s).
What’s the Difference Between Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage?
Swedish massage is a luxurious massage technique that melts the muscles and the mind using long fluid strokes with varying pressure to improve muscle tone, circulation and joint flexibility. This type of massage is generally less intensive than a Deep Tissue Massage. A fusion between Swedish massage and structural massage, Viva’s Deep Tissue Massage relieves aches and pains that are stored in the deepest parts of the muscles. Perfect for working out knots and alleviating stubborn tension and soreness. Read our blog post “Swedish vs. Deep Tissue Massage: What’s The Difference?”
Will I Be Sore After a Massage?
Since massage therapy is releasing lactic acid from the muscles, it can sometimes leave you sore. This is only temporary though and is due to the lactic acid — which is crystallized in the muscle — being worked out. This is why it is so important to drink plenty of water following a massage. You need to help hydrate the tissue and flush the toxins being released.
Can I Use the Showers Before a Massage?
Yes, however you must arrive early to shower. Please notify the front desk upon booking that you will be using the shower, and they will let you know how early to arrive prior to your appointment — so you can make your appointment time.
Is It Safe to Get A Massage After a Workout?
Yes, this is a great time to get a massage! The massage will help flush out lactic acid from the muscles and help relax the body.
Is It Safe to Get a Massage Right After An Injury?
No. We recommend waiting at least 48 hours after an acute injury due to possible swelling in the area. When you have swollen tissue it can be counterproductive to massage. You should ice any swollen areas and see a doctor if the swelling persists.
What’s the Difference Between Waxing & Sugaring?
Waxing and sugaring are two techniques used to remove unwanted hair by removing the hair follicle from the root. Wax is hot and applied on the skin in the direction of the hair growth, then removed with a strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Wax is great for use on large body parts that are not sensitive, such as the legs, arms and back. It is also great for use on brows since it has an easy application process that can result in a high level of detail needed for brow waxes. At Viva Day Spa, we carry 3 types of waxes that are of high quality and are used for specific body parts based on their properties.
Sugar is a water-soluble substance made from honey, lemon and water. It is warm and has a consistency similar to taffy. The esthetician will take a ball of sugar and work it in her hand while wearing special textured gloves. The esthetician will apply the sugar to the body part by spreading the sugar against the direction of the hair growth, and then remove the sugar using a quick flinging motion. The sugar is removed in the direction of the hair growth, which results in less hair breakage. The esthetician will continue to use the same sugar ball to remove the rest of the hair for that body part. Sugar is great to use on smaller, more sensitive body parts since it does not adhere to live skin. It is most commonly used for bikini, Brazilians, lips and underarms. Sugar is also easily removed with a wet towel since it is water-soluble.
What Should I Avoid Before & After Hair Removal?
For 24 hours post-hair removal, we recommend avoiding contact with salt water, pools or jacuzzis. We also recommend avoiding sweating or physical exertion — including contact sports — 24 hours prior to hair removal services.
What Will My Skin Look Like Right After a Facial?
Usually you will leave with glowing skin! However, most facials come with extractions, so some redness may occur right after the facial. We do use a high-frequency wand with all facial treatments to lessen redness when and if it occurs.
What Should I Bring to a Pedicure?
We recommend bringing a pair of open-toe shoes or sandals that do not touch your toenails after your pedicure.
How Long Does It Take for My Nails to Dry?
It can take your nails several hours to dry following a manicure or pedicure. It is best to wait to put closed-toe shoes on for as long as possible after your service to protect the integrity of your nail treatment.
I’m Taking Medication for My Skin. Can I Still Get A Treatment?
We will not perform peels or hair removal services on pregnant women or on guests who are using Retin A, Accutane, Avage, Tazorac, Differin or any other medications that increase skin exfoliation or compromise the skin. Peels or hair removal cannot be performed on people who have recently had laser treatments, plastic surgery or a sunburn.
How Long Should My Hair Be for Waxing or Sugaring?
For optimal results and a more comfortable experience, hair should be between 1/4″ and 1/2″ in length. If hair is longer, please trim to 1/4″ prior to your appointment. We will not wax or sugar guests who are sunburned, using Retin A (currently or in the past 3 months), Accutane (currently or in the past 6 months) Differin or any other medications designed to increase skin exfoliation. After hair removal, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and excessive sweating to lessen the chances of bacterial infection.

- New guests will be required to fill out a short intake form. To help streamline this process, we will email all forms to the spa party organizer in advance so that these can be completed and brought with you on the day of your event.
Spa Etiquette
- When bringing in outside food and beverages, we kindly ask that food be lightly scented so as not to interfere with the spa’s aromatherapy experience, and that beverages be light-colored to prevent staining the furniture.
- Please be mindful of your group’s noise level, as other guests may be enjoying spa treatments in nearby treatment rooms. We appreciate your consideration in helping us maintain a peaceful environment for everyone.
Can I Bring Refreshments To My Group Gathering?
If you are renting a Private Room or the entire spa for a Private Spa Party, you may bring champagne, wine, and non-cooked foods to your spa party. Finger foods like fruit, cheese, and desserts are some popular choices. Viva will provide glassware. We ask that you provide ice, silverware, plates, and napkins if you require them.

You don’t have to visit every month to make it worthwhile. Use your balance as you go or let it build for a bigger treatment. Every dollar stays yours and never expires. And with your Member discount and exclusive benefits, your money goes even further.
Now that’s good Membership Math.
How Is a Viva Membership Different from a Massage, Facial, or Med Spa Membership?
Most spa memberships focus on one type of treatment. A Viva Membership combines a day spa membership and med spa membership in one, so your Membership Bank and Member discount can be used for massages, facials, Botox and other med spa treatments at every Viva Day Spa + Med Spa location in Austin, Round Rock and Dallas. Instead of choosing between a massage membership, facial membership or Botox membership, Viva gives you the flexibility to enjoy it all with one Membership.
And your Member discount goes beyond treatments. You can even save on the premium skincare brands we use in our treatment rooms, including SkinCeuticals, skinbetter science and Eminence Organics.
What's the Difference Between Essential and Signature Memberships?
Both Viva Memberships include a Membership Bank, savings on every visit, Quarterly Member Perks, Complimentary Upgrades, a Monthly Guest Pass and access to our Membership Concierge.
Essential Membership is $169/month or $1,859/year and includes a 10% Member discount on spa treatments, med spa services and products.
Signature Membership is $299/month or $3,289/year and includes our highest 15% Member discount on spa treatments, med spa services and products. Plus, signature Members get a Family Plan that lets you add one additional person and share your Membership Bank and benefits.
What's the Difference Between Monthly and Annual Memberships?
The biggest difference is how you pay and when your Membership Bank becomes available. Monthly Memberships are paid month by month, while Annual Memberships are paid upfront and include one month free.
Monthly Membership: Your Membership payment is deposited into your Membership Bank each month. Monthly Memberships begin with an initial 3-month commitment.
Annual Membership: Pay for 11 months and get the 12th month free, with the full 12-month value deposited into your Membership Bank from day one. That means you start with $2,028 with Essential or $3,588 with Signature to use whenever you’re ready.
Where Can I Use My Viva Membership?
Your Viva Membership is valid at all five Viva Day Spa + Med Spa locations in Austin, Dallas, and Round Rock. All of your Viva Membership details are linked to your account, so simply schedule your appointment at whichever location works best for you.
Membership Bank FAQs
How Does the Membership Bank Work?
Your Membership payment is deposited directly into your personal Membership Bank at Viva to spend on any spa treatment, med spa service, or product with your Member discount. Unlike a use-it-or-lose-it spa membership, your unused balance rolls over month after month and never expires.
Your balance stays in your Membership Bank until you spend it — with no expiration dates and no fees.
- Monthly Members: Your Membership payment goes into your Membership Bank each month. Anything you don’t spend stays in your Bank. Your balance will continue growing month after month until you’re ready to use it.
- Annual Members: Your full 12-month Membership Bank is available from day one, so you can start using it right away. And because you pay for 11 months and get the 12th month free, your Bank starts with more than you paid. If you use your full Annual Membership Bank balance before your Membership year ends — way to say yes to self-care! Your Membership and all Member benefits continue through the full 12 months. You’ll simply pay separately for any additional treatments or products.
Use your Membership Bank as soon as you join, or let it build for larger purchases like Botox, laser hair removal services, or a full spa day.
If you ever cancel your Membership, your remaining Membership Bank balance is still yours to spend at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa. Always yours.
What Can I Use My Membership Bank For?
Your Membership Bank can be used toward any spa treatment, med spa service or product at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa. And you’ll receive your Member discount — 10% for Essential Members and 15% for Signature Members — every time you spend it.
What Isn't Covered by My Membership Bank?
Your Membership Bank covers just about everything at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa, with a few exceptions. It cannot be used toward gratuity, gift certificates, online retail purchases, pre-paid Treatment Series or Packages. Your Membership Bank also cannot be used to pay for another guest, unless that person has been added to your Signature Family Plan.
Does My Membership Bank Balance Expire?
Never. Your Membership Bank balance never expires. If you cancel your Membership, your remaining balance moves to your Viva profile, and every dollar is still yours to spend at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa until you use it.

Just let us know which upgrade you’d like when you book online or reach out to your Membership Concierge at 512.668.1191.
How Does the Guest Pass Benefit Work?
Once per month, invite someone to join you at Viva and share your Member discount on their treatments and products. Schedule for two online or call your Membership Concierge at 512.668.1191 or email [email protected]. When you visit together, we’ll apply your Guest Pass at checkout. Your guest can pay for their visit, or you can treat them. Your Membership Bank, however, can only be used for your own treatments and products.
Your Guest Pass resets on the first of each month.
How Does the Family Plan for Signature Members Work?
Signature Members can add one person to their Viva Membership — a partner, family member, or friend. You’ll be the primary Member, and your add-on Member enjoys the same Signature benefits you do: your 15% Member discount, access to your Membership Bank, Quarterly Member Perks, Monthly Guest Pass, and access to your Membership Concierge. Your add-on Member can book their own appointments and visit Viva on their own schedule.
To add someone to your Family Plan, reach out to your Membership Concierge at 512.668.1191 or [email protected].
What Is a Viva Membership Concierge?
As a Viva Member, you have exclusive access to a dedicated Membership Concierge team — a direct line to people who know the program and can help you get the most out of your Membership, from booking appointments to answering questions about your benefits. Your Membership Concierge is just a call or email away: 512.668.1191 or [email protected]. Reach out after hours and we’ll respond first thing when we’re back.
Managing Your Membership FAQs
When Will My Monthly Membership Payment Be Due?
Your payment will process one month from the date you join. Need to adjust your billing date? Just reach out to your Membership Concierge and we can modify your payment cycle.
Can I Combine My Member Discount with Other Offers?
Some offers can be combined with your Member discount, while others cannot. Whenever two non-combinable Viva discounts, promotions or packages apply, we’ll make sure you receive the greater discount. For example, if an Essential member with a 10% Member discount receives a 15% Birthday discount, we’ll apply the greater 15% discount at checkout.
Quarterly Member Perks can be combined with your Member discount.
Allē points and Aspire Rewards may also be used toward eligible treatments along with your Member discount, subject to applicable program terms.
How Do I Upgrade or Downgrade My Membership?
Your Membership Concierge can help you upgrade or downgrade your Membership tier. The change will take effect at your next billing cycle.
Can I Pause or Freeze My Membership?
Yes, Monthly Members can pause or freeze their Membership once per year for up to two months after completing the initial three-month commitment. Your Membership Bank balance stays exactly as you left it. While your Membership is paused, you won’t be able to use your Membership Bank or Member discount. After two months, your Membership will automatically reactivate and monthly billing will resume.
To pause your Membership, reach out to your Membership Concierge at 512.668.1191 or [email protected].
How Do I Cancel My Membership?
Monthly Memberships have an initial 3-month commitment. After your initial commitment period, you can cancel your Membership at any time. Annual Memberships can be cancelled at any time. We handle cancellations personally — not online — so we can make sure everything is taken care of for you.
To cancel, reach out to your Membership Concierge at 512.668.1191 or email [email protected].
What Happens to My Membership Bank If I Cancel?
If you cancel your Viva Membership, any remaining balance in your Membership Bank moves to your Viva profile and is still yours to use toward treatments and products at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa. You can view your balance anytime by logging in to your Viva account online or through the Viva mobile app. While your balance is still yours to spend, your Member discount, benefits and perks end when your Membership is cancelled.
Viva Membership payments and remaining balances are non-refundable.
Who Can I Contact If I Have Questions About My Membership?
Your Membership Concierge team is always happy to help, whether you have questions about billing, booking or making the most of your Member benefits. Call 512.668.1191 during business hours, or email [email protected] anytime.
