Tactile body exfoliation, thermal compresses, and barrier lipid wraps.
Cosmetiva delivers mechanical, hands-on body care at 1301 Barton Springs Road in South Austin. We provide targeted natural bristle dry brushing, thermal linen compression, ultrasonic back extractions, and ceramide butter lipid wraps. We focus on hands-on care, room comfort, and dedicated bench time to address dermal barrier dryness and follicular congestion.
"Other spas advertise slimming wraps with plastic suits. What does your body wrap actually provide during the session?"
We deliver dedicated hands-on skin care without plastic wrap or artificial thermal suits. Every 75-minute session is designed for tactile surface smoothing, comfort, and deep epidermal hydration in a quiet treatment room.
Our body protocols focus strictly on skin physiology: desquamation and lipid replenishment. We begin with a dense, natural agave bristle dry brush sweep across limbs to mechanically dislodge compacted stratum corneum flakes. We follow with warm botanical compresses and a generous application of biomimetic phytosqualane, shea butter, and ceramide NP. Wrapped inside breathable unbleached linen sheets, your skin barrier absorbs essential fatty acids under gentle conductive thermal warmth, relieving dryness and smoothing rough keratosis pilaris texture.
"How does your body department price treatments between $15 and $235?"
Body procedures at Cosmetiva span strictly from 15 to 235 USD per procedure. A $15 charge represents a localized dry brush or warm herbal compress add-on to an ongoing facial or back service. A dedicated 60-minute clarifying back treatment is priced at $145. A full 75-minute restorative body barrier wrap carries a verified baseline of $175.
An upper quote reaching $210 to $235 represents an extensive 90-minute full-body restoration combining thorough full-body bamboo polish, thermal linen wrap, and focused ultrasonic pore extraction along the upper shoulders and spine, executed by a licensed master practitioner.

"What are your draping and modesty protocols, and who performs body services in Austin?"
Body treatments are performed by Texas-licensed master estheticians who have practiced continuously in Austin since 2020. Our studio follows strict clinical draping standards governed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Clients undress in absolute privacy inside private, sound-damped treatment suites. You are covered with fresh, clean organic cotton sheets and warm thermal blankets on an ergonomically padded table. Only the exact anatomical area being treated (an arm, a leg, or the back) is ever undraped at one time. Modesty is maintained at all times, with zero exposure of gluteal cleavage or breast tissue.
"How does a 75-minute body barrier wrap unfold from arrival to completion?"
Our 75-minute restorative body wrap runs across five distinct phases:
- Minutes 00–10: Private Consultation & Intake. Review of dry skin zones, pressure preferences, and skin allergies while the room warming cabinet preheats linens to 105°F.
- Minutes 10–25: Full-Body Dry Brushing. Controlled, rhythmic strokes with natural agave bristles following peripheral lymphatic channels inward toward nodal basins.
- Minutes 25–45: Lipid Balm Application. Warm, slow effleurage application of whipped shea butter, phytosqualane, and ceramide NP over arms, legs, back, and torso.
- Minutes 45–65: Thermal Linen Cocooning. You are enveloped in warm, breathable unbleached linen sheets and weighted blankets while receiving a quiet scalp acupressure release.
- Minutes 65–75: Unwrapping & Finishing. Gentle towel compress to absorb excess surface oils, leaving skin supple, non-greasy, and sealed against trans-epidermal water loss.
"Who should not receive full body dry brushing or thermal wraps?"
We decline body treatments for clients presenting with:
- Active generalized eczema or open skin fissures (dry brushing will trigger flare-ups).
- Uncontrolled hypertension or cardiovascular distress (thermal cocooning induces mild vasodilation).
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or phlebitis history within twelve months.
- Severe sunburn across the body or active fungal infections.
- Minors under 18 years of age. All Cosmetiva services are reserved for adult clients.
When full-body friction is contraindicated, we offer isolated spot care, such as our non-abrasive Clarifying Back Treatment or gentle facial barrier sessions on our Facials roster.
