The science

How it works

Warm, vitamin-infused steam supports the skin's surface hydration and softens the outer layer, while radiant heat supports circulation to the skin. Aromatherapy and vibration help the body relax, which many clients say makes the hydration benefits feel deeper. Results vary by individual, and consistent sessions produce the best outcome.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the Cocoon Aqua Pod?

A private wellness pod that combines vitamin-infused steam, radiant heat, aromatherapy and gentle vibration in one 20–30 minute session. Your head stays outside the pod the entire time.

Will it help with dry, flaky skin?

Many clients with dry or tight-feeling skin notice softer, more supple skin after the first session, with results that build over several weeks. It is not a treatment for skin conditions such as eczema; talk to a dermatologist about those.

Can I combine it with red light therapy?

Yes, and many clients do. Hydration from the Cocoon pairs well with the Face Red Light session for a smoother-looking, more radiant complexion.

Should I shower before or after?

Come as you are. A quick rinse afterward is optional; many clients prefer to let the vitamin infusion settle into the skin.

Is it good for the body or just the face?

The Cocoon treats the whole body from the neck down, so it supports hydration everywhere, not only the face.

How much does it cost?

Every plan is built around your goals in a complimentary consultation, where we walk through options in person. There is no obligation.
