About

Levvit Wellness & Beauty is a private boutique studio in San Mateo, founded by Eliane Ripka, a licensed esthetician, licensed massage therapist and certified lymphedema specialist. The studio describes its work as a blend of healing and beauty.

The skin care menu includes a one-hour Signature Facial at $160, suited to all skin types and first-time facial clients. It begins with a consultation, then covers deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions if needed, a targeted mask and a facial massage. A Jan Marini Professional Peel ($180, one hour) is a medical-grade chemical peel aimed at texture, breakouts, sun damage and early signs of aging. The esthetician chooses between the Clarify Peel, for oily or acne-prone skin, and the Refine Peel, based on the client's skin needs. The Face Sculpt & Lifting Ritual ($220, one hour) is a needle-free facial massage that combines Dr. Serge's myoplastic method with the Neolifting approach from Pro-Age Academy.

The Face Reality Acne Program ($160, one hour) is open to teens and adults with inflamed, hormonal, non-inflamed or cystic acne. Each session includes a skin analysis, customized exfoliation, extractions if needed, optional LED light therapy and home-care education. First-time acne clients need a consultation, and product purchases are part of the program. It asks for lifestyle changes, home care and regular treatments, and results may vary and take time.

Massage and body work include Healing Massage with Myofascial Release, which blends Swedish massage with John Barnes' Myofascial Release Method, and is offered for one hour at $180 or one hour 30 minutes at $220. Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a full-body manual technique using light pressure, offered for one hour at $180 or one hour 30 minutes at $220. Hot stone therapy and cupping are also listed on the booking form.

Post-surgical and postpartum care is a large part of the studio's work. Post-Surgical Lymphatic Therapy for the face, neck and jaw ($260, one hour 15 minutes) is recommended one to twelve weeks after facial procedures, with doctor clearance needed within six weeks of surgery or if complications are present. Post-Surgery Lymphatic Therapy for the body ($260, one hour 30 minutes) targets swelling and scar tissue after cosmetic or orthopedic surgery and may include lymphatic taping, MENS and red light therapy. Postpartum Lymphatic Therapy is $180 for one hour or $220 for 90 minutes; natural birth clients can begin right away, while C-section clients should wait at least two weeks or get doctor clearance. House call sessions are 1 hour 20 minutes at $400, and travel fees may apply depending on location.

Clients complete an online intake form before their first session, covering their concerns and history, and the information is kept confidential and used to personalize care. Intake consent states that skincare treatments are cosmetic and not a substitute for medical care. Clients can choose whether before-and-after skin photos are used for documentation and can decline without affecting their care. The studio is open Monday to Friday, 3pm to 8pm. Gift cards are available.

Treatments aim to improve circulation and reduce inflammation, combining skin care with manual and lymphatic techniques.
