Is it right for you
Who it’s for
People who are pregnant, recently gave birth or are planning a pregnancy, who want to care for skin that's changing (sensitivity, dryness, breakouts, pigmentation) and would value 75 minutes of quiet rest. It is a skin care and relaxation treatment. It does not affect fertility.
