Your first treatment at Beyond by Yas starts with a short intake chat, after which you lie on the treatment table while I work on your neck, jaw and face. In Reveal and Beyond I also work inside the mouth, always wearing fresh gloves. There's nothing to prepare; comfortable clothes and an easily uncovered neck are all you need.
Trying something new can feel a bit daunting. Especially when it involves someone working with their hands inside your mouth. So let me walk you through it step by step, so you know exactly what to expect.
How does a first treatment work?
- Booking. You choose your treatment in the online calendar. Not sure which one suits you? Send a WhatsApp to 06 12739320.
- Arrival. You'll find me at ZenClinics, Veteranenlaan 3 in Amstelveen. Arrive a few minutes early so you don't have to rush.
- Intake. We briefly talk about why you've come, where you feel tension and anything I should take into account. Think of medication, recent dental work, injectables or jaw problems.
- The treatment. You lie on your back on the treatment table. In Beyond I start with a cacao ritual and/or red LED therapy. Then I work on your neck, jaw and face.
- Wrapping up. You get time to sit up slowly. I share what I noticed and give you a few tips to take home.
Is buccal massage hygienic?
Yes. For the part inside the mouth I always wear new disposable gloves, fresh for every client. I work with clean hands, clean materials and a well-kept room. My background in health and social care is part of how I work.
During the intra-oral part you simply breathe through your nose. If you'd like a pause, just let me know. You're in control.
What should you wear and how do you prepare?
Comfortable clothes are fine. Choose something that lets you easily uncover your neck and collarbones, because I work there too. Otherwise you stay dressed.
- It helps if you come with little or no make-up.
- Avoid a heavy meal right before, especially for Reveal or Beyond.
Exactly the same goes for men. No dress code, no fuss. You don't need to know what a facial is to get something out of it. And you don't have to talk if you'd rather not.
What's good aftercare, and how often should you come back?
After a treatment your face often feels warm, light and relaxed. Some people notice a slightly tender jaw, a bit like after a good sports massage. That usually fades by itself.
- Drink enough water.
- If you can, don't plan anything hectic straight after. Give yourself some quiet.
- Leave your skin alone that day, without scrubs or strong products.
How often you come is something we decide together. Many people choose a few treatments fairly close together, for example every few weeks, and then come back now and then to maintain. There's no obligation and no package you have to buy.
Not sure which treatment suits you? Presence (50 minutes, fully external) is a lovely first introduction. Reveal (75 minutes) adds buccal massage inside the mouth. Beyond (95 minutes) is the complete experience.
I look forward to meeting you. Boek je behandeling whenever it feels right for you.
Let go. Make space. Come home. 🤍
