Why Youth Lab for Massage Therapy?
Youth Lab brings aesthetics and longevity together under one roof, and massage therapy sits inside that broader longevity and biohacking philosophy rather than existing as a standalone spa add-on. Every massage is performed by a licensed massage therapist, and your session can be planned alongside services like wellness IV infusions and red light therapy, so your visit supports how you feel from the inside out, not just how you look.
There is no downtime, and you can return to your day right after your session. Drinking water afterward is encouraged. Some clients feel mild muscle soreness for a day or so after deep tissue work, and some notice more frequent restroom trips in the hours after lymphatic drainage, which is a normal response to the technique.
Which Massage Is Right for You?
If you want to relax and reset, Swedish massage is the classic choice. If specific muscles feel tight or overworked, deep tissue massage targets that tension directly. If you feel puffy or want a gentle, restorative session between more active treatments, lymphatic drainage massage is a calming option. If you are pregnant, prenatal massage is designed around your comfort. Not sure? Your therapist can help you choose when you book.
Massage is not appropriate for everyone. Clients with active infections, blood clots, or heart or kidney conditions should check with their doctor before booking, and expecting clients should talk with their OB-GYN before scheduling prenatal massage. Please share your health history with Youth Lab before your session.
Massage Options at Youth Lab
Four massages, each offered in two session lengths. All four are full body treatments performed by a licensed massage therapist.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes with light to medium pressure to ease general tension and promote deep relaxation. It is a good starting point if you are new to massage or simply want to unwind.
- 60 minutes: $129
- 90 minutes: $149
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle. It is well suited to clients with persistent tightness, knots, or an active lifestyle that leaves muscles feeling overworked.
- 60 minutes: $149
- 90 minutes: $179
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a light-touch, rhythmic technique designed to work with your lymphatic system, the network of vessels that helps move fluid through your body. Instead of firm pressure, it uses slow, gentle strokes directed toward the body’s natural drainage pathways. Many clients book it when they feel puffy, bloated, or in need of a restorative reset, and it typically feels soothing and almost meditative.
- 60 minutes: $139
- 80 minutes: $159
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is a gentle massage adapted for pregnancy, with positioning and support designed to keep you comfortable while easing the tension, tightness, and fatigue that often come with a changing body.
- 60 minutes: $129
- 90 minutes: $149
Swedish, deep tissue, and prenatal massage are offered in 60- and 90-minute sessions. Full body lymphatic drainage massage is offered in 60- and 80-minute sessions. A facial lymphatic drainage technique also opens the 75-minute Platinum HydraFacial.
What Pairs Well With Massage Therapy?
For the face, the Platinum HydraFacial opens with facial lymphatic drainage before moving into a booster, LED, and dermaplaning. For the body, massage is a natural complement to wellness IV infusions for clients building a broader recovery routine, and it fits neatly into a wider longevity and biohacking plan. Massage is a wellness and comfort treatment, not a body contouring service; clients focused on fat reduction should ask about body contouring and sculpting instead.
What Are the Benefits of Massage Therapy?
- Less muscle tension. Swedish and deep tissue techniques work through tight, overworked muscles so you can move more comfortably.
- Genuine relaxation. A dedicated hour or more of hands-on care is an easy way to build a restorative moment into a busy week.
- A lighter, less puffy feeling. Lymphatic drainage uses gentle, directional strokes that may help reduce puffiness and leave treated areas feeling lighter.
- Aid in surgical recovery. Lymphatic drainage massage can support your recovery after surgery by helping ease post-operative swelling. Check with your surgeon about when it is safe to begin.
- Comfort during pregnancy. Prenatal massage offers relief for the aches that come with a changing body.
- No downtime. You can return to your normal day immediately after your session.
How Often Should I Book a Massage?
Some clients book a single session before a big event or after a demanding week, while others build massage into a recurring wellness rhythm alongside other longevity services. Your therapist can recommend a cadence based on your goals and how your body responds.
