DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPA TREATMENTS
There is a variety of treatments that you can take advantage of when you visit a spa, some of which were only recently available through a doctor’s office. There are different types of spa treatments that encompass the entire body focusing on certain aspects like beauty, health, well-living, and even weight and nutrition. Before you decide to visit a facility to get any kind of treatment, it is best that you understand them first to make sure you are getting the kind of benefits you are expecting to get.
The most popular of spa treatments are facials, which focus on rejuvenating and revitalizing the facial area to make it look and feel younger. A good facial typically includes cleansing services, as well as toning and moisturizing. Mostly it removes the dead or dry skin cells from the surface, sometimes focusing on specific areas such as under the eyes to reduce puffiness. Collagen can also be applied to tighten the skin and make it feel much smoother.
In addition to facials, there are also body treatments such as massages, body wraps, exfoliation treatments and vichy showers. Massages help improve circulation and soothe sore muscles.
A body wrap treatment begins with a salt scrub to exfoliate the skin and remove any dead skin cells. A seaweed wrap is then applied to absorb any impurities that still linger within the skin, improving its health and texture. Once the wrap is removed, it is then followed up by a shower to remove any impurities that are stuck to the surface of the skin, and then a moisturizer is applied.
There are also hair and nail treatments one can take advantage of. Threading is a technique that originated in the Middle East and is often used to thin facial hair, particularly the eyebrows.
In addition to the kind of spa treatments you can typically get at any salon, there are also skin treatments that used to be only available at a doctor’s office. Such treatments include Botox treatments, microdermabrasion, and laser hair-removal among others. Botox injections became popular in the last decade and basically paralyze the facial muscles to reduce crow’s feet and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion is a very simple procedure that bombards the skin with a fine spray of micro crystals to remove the outer layers of dead skin. Laser hair removal is a permanent method for removing hair from various parts of the body. It requires several treatments for it to have a permanent effect. There is also a newer variation to this called pulsed-light hair removal which uses pulses of light at a lower intensity, and is therefore less painful but requires more treatment sessions.
