Body Treatments in San Francisco
The skin on your body gets a fraction of the attention your face does, and it has a harder job. It stretches, it takes friction, it breaks out in places you cannot reach, and it carries the record of everything from a pregnancy to years of waxing.
We offer four body treatments at our spa on West Portal Avenue, each aimed at something specific. Firming and circulation. Stretch marks and scarring on the stomach. The bikini area. And back acne.
None of them is a weight loss treatment and none of them is a substitute for a dermatologist. What they do is treat skin.
Which body treatment do you actually need?
Most people arrive knowing what bothers them rather than what the treatment is called. Start from the concern.
Skin feels loose, dull, or puffy, and you want it firmer and better circulated.
Stretch marks, scarring, or crepey texture on the stomach.
Ingrown hairs, bumps, or darkening along the bikini line.
Breakouts on your back or shoulders.
If two of those describe you, book a consultation rather than guessing. We would rather spend fifteen minutes looking at your skin than sell you the wrong treatment.

Firming Body Renewal Treatment
A non-invasive treatment for body skin. It hydrates and nourishes, supports lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, brightens the appearance of the skin, and promotes firmer, tighter-looking skin.
You pick one area per 75 minute session, so the treatment is built around the part of your body that is actually bothering you rather than a set routine.
Areas available
What this treatment does not do
It is not intended for fat loss or weight loss. Nothing applied to the surface of the skin removes fat, and any treatment sold to you on that basis is being oversold.
What it does is work on the skin itself and on the fluid sitting underneath it, which is why the visible change tends to be in tone, texture, and puffiness rather than in size.
How many sessions
We recommend five sessions, spaced two weeks to a month apart. Most people notice something before they finish the course, but five is what we build toward for a result that holds.
Sessions are booked one at a time.
- You are pregnant
- You have blood clots, a history of deep vein thrombosis, or unexplained leg swelling
- You are having treatment for cancer, or any other active medical treatment
- You have had recent surgery, injections, laser, or a body contouring procedure in the area you want treated
- You have uncontrolled diabetes, neuropathy, or reduced sensation
- You have a serious heart condition, uncontrolled high blood pressure, kidney disease, liver disease, or have had a recent stroke
Advanced Body Rejuvenation: microchanneling for the stomach
Microchanneling on the stomach, aimed at the appearance of stretch marks, scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin laxity.
The session includes a cleanse, numbing cream, professional serum infusion, a soothing masque with LED light therapy, and finishing products. The 60 minute appointment includes the 20 to 30 minutes of numbing time, so you are not paying for an hour and then waiting on top of it.
Stomach area only. We do not currently perform this on other areas of the body.
Mysa has been an authorized ProCell provider since 2022.
What it honestly feels like
Clients describe it as multiple bugs biting. It is a sensation, and it is not comfortable. People come back because it works on stretch marks, not because it is relaxing.
Redness on the body typically lasts one to two days.
How many sessions
Most people need three to six appointments to see results, though it varies from person to person. Sessions are booked one at a time.
Who it works for
This treatment is open to new clients, unlike our Mysa MicroGlow Renewal Facial, which we perform on returning clients only.
It is suitable for deeper skin tones. We adjust the protocol accordingly.
Timing after pregnancy
Wait at least a month after giving birth. If you had a caesarean, you need your doctor's approval before booking. Breastfeeding is fine.
Let us know before you book
If you are using retinol, or taking any medication that dries the skin out, we cannot perform this treatment. Talk to us before booking so you are not turned away on the day.
We also need to reschedule you if you are pregnant, or if the skin on your stomach is sunburned or broken.
Vajacial and back acne treatment
Mysa Vajacial Treatment
A facial for the bikini area. It treats the external skin only, focusing on ingrown hairs, bumps, irritation from waxing or shaving, and the darkening that hair removal can leave behind. 45 minutes, $148. Currently offered to women only.
What happens in the room. Your esthetician starts with a gentle cleanse, then a mild enzyme exfoliant to lift dead skin. Any ingrown hairs are extracted by hand. The treatment finishes with a mask chosen for your skin and a brightening serum or spot treatment where there is darkening or old marks from irritation.
The skin here is coarser, takes more friction, and grows back thicker hair than almost anywhere else on the body. That is why it ingrows so easily and why it responds to being treated like skin instead of just being waxed.
Adding a Brazilian wax. The vajacial does not include hair removal, but you can add a Brazilian wax to the same visit for $90. We book the wax first and the vajacial after, so the exfoliation and extraction are working on freshly cleared skin.
One visit clears what is there now. Regular visits are what keep ingrowns and razor burn from coming back.
Mysa Face Reality Back Acne Treatment
Back acne, treated with the Face Reality clear skin system. The session includes deep cleansing, extraction, and steam. 60 minutes, $228.
The back is harder to treat than the face for practical reasons. The skin is thicker, the pores are larger, and it spends the day under fabric and a backpack strap, so congestion clears more slowly than it does on a face.
This works as a series, not a single visit. You can book one session on its own, and some people do. But the Face Reality system is designed to be worked through over time, and a course of five is typical. Stubborn or long-standing back acne sometimes takes ten. Your esthetician will tell you which after looking at your skin.
Sessions are booked one at a time.
Body treatment questions, answered
What is a body treatment?
A body treatment is a skincare treatment performed on the body rather than the face. At Mysa that means four things: a firming and circulation treatment available on five different areas, microchanneling for stretch marks on the stomach, a vajacial for the bikini area, and a back acne treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the treatment. Firming Body Renewal is five sessions, two weeks to a month apart. Advanced Body Rejuvenation is usually three to six. The back acne treatment is a series, typically five and sometimes ten. A vajacial works as a single visit, with regular visits to keep ingrowns from returning.
Do body treatments help you lose weight?
No. Our Firming Body Renewal is explicitly not intended for fat loss or weight loss. These treatments work on skin, hydration, and circulation. Any change you see is in tone, texture, and puffiness rather than in size.
How much do body treatments cost in San Francisco?
At Mysa, from $148 for a vajacial to $398 for the Advanced Body Rejuvenation. Full pricing is in the table above. Sessions are booked one at a time.
Can I add a Brazilian wax to my vajacial?
Yes, for $90 in the same visit. We book the wax first and the vajacial after, so the exfoliation and extraction are working on freshly cleared skin.
Can you do more than one area in a session?
Not for the Firming Body Renewal. That treatment covers one area per 75 minute session.
Does microchanneling on the body hurt?
There is a sensation. Clients describe it as multiple bugs biting. It is not comfortable, and we would rather tell you that than have you find out on the table. Redness on the body typically lasts one to two days.
How soon after having a baby can I book?
Wait at least a month. If you had a caesarean you need your doctor's approval first. Breastfeeding is fine.
Does microchanneling work on deeper skin tones?
Yes. We adjust the protocol.
Do I need to be an existing client?
Not for the Advanced Body Rejuvenation, which is open to new clients. Our Mysa MicroGlow Renewal Facial, which is microchanneling on the face, is for returning clients only.
