Laksmi Massage is the current website identity used by Melissa Ruiz, the practitioner historically listed in this directory as Melissa Ruiz Studio Beauty & Spa in Sabana Norte. The official site describes Melissa as a licensed and certified massage therapist and aesthetician in San José, Costa Rica. Current listings place the studio in the Rohrmoser area, and the published contact number is +506 7096 7621 for telephone and WhatsApp.
The official service list begins with massage therapy. It includes relaxation massage, deep-tissue work, sports-related massage, foot reflexology and approaches presented for muscular tension or discomfort. A website service label is not a diagnosis, guarantee or substitute for medical care. Guests with acute pain, neurological symptoms, recent injury or a diagnosed condition should seek appropriate professional advice and explain all relevant limitations before a session.
Melissa also publishes aesthetic services. These include microdermabrasion, facial and body radiofrequency, vacuum therapy, ultrasonic cavitation, passive gymnastics and carboxytherapy. Some of these services use devices or involve skin-focused procedures. Before booking, confirm the exact protocol, practitioner qualification, hygiene process, product ingredients, expected sensations, contraindications and aftercare. Results vary, and no treatment should be interpreted as guaranteed to correct a medical or cosmetic condition.
For microdermabrasion or other exfoliating work, disclose active irritation, infection, recent sun exposure, prescription skincare, recent procedures and a history of abnormal scarring. For any treatment involving heat, suction or electrical equipment, disclose pregnancy, implanted devices, vascular concerns and medication. The practitioner should decide whether to modify or postpone a service after consultation; the directory does not make that clinical assessment.
The official site says services are adapted to individual needs and that discounted packages may be available. Confirm the service duration, price, number of sessions, package expiry, cancellation terms and refund conditions before paying. Independent directory hours can change and are not a substitute for an appointment confirmation. Contact the studio directly rather than arriving without a confirmed time.
The reviewed official page provides a contact form, telephone and WhatsApp but does not publish a complete accessibility specification. An independent listing reports wheelchair-accessible parking, toilet and seating, yet these details should be reconfirmed with the studio. Guests needing step-free access, transfer space, an accessible treatment table, fragrance accommodation or a companion should describe those requirements in advance.
This is a small practitioner-led studio, not a hotel spa or large thermal facility. Guests should not assume access to pools, steam rooms, saunas, changing suites or a relaxation lounge. The profile classification has therefore been corrected to Day Spa, and the copy focuses only on services the current practitioner or reliable directory evidence supports.
The inherited image was a generic, highly rendered treatment-room scene and could not be tied to Melissa Ruiz or the Rohrmoser studio. It has been quarantined. The profile remains below the six-image requirement until six current, rights-cleared photographs document exterior identification, reception or consultation area, treatment room, equipment context and accessibility. Google, review-platform and official-site images were not copied without permission. Information was checked on 15 August 2026.
Appointments are offered through direct practitioner contact.
