WHAT IS LAVA SHELL MASSAGE GOOD FOR?

 Warm up this season, and Release your stress.

Autumn is a perfect time to renew your commitment to self-care and begin a new wellness routine. Massage therapy in colder months warms up your muscles and helps circulate fresh, oxygenated blood throughout your body. DESUAR Spa offers a wide variety of massage therapy suited for your needs, one of which uses Tiger Clams, which are said to work wonders on blocked energy flow and even Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

What is a Lava Shell massage?

Lava Shells massage is an indulgent treatment that uses elements of Mother Nature using heat to bring relief to tense muscles, sore joints, stressed emotions, and weary spirits. Smooth, heated lava seashells are skillfully combined with massage for an exceptional spa experience. This treatment uses real shells from the Philippines. The heat comes from inside the Shells due to a mixture of minerals and algae combined with salt water and essential oils. When they are combined inside the shell, it creates a chemical reaction that causes heat for one or two hours.

The Lava Shell can radiate heat for up to an hour, allowing your therapist to provide a continuous and seamless warm full-body massage. The heat from the tiger-striped clam shells along with the deep tissue pressure point massage eases away muscle tension, releases energy flow, and restores a sense of balance to the body and mind.

Benefits of Lava Shells Massage

The Lava Shell Massage benefits are endless. The treatment is truly pleasing and the warmth of the shells gliding over your body would surely send you into a state of deep relaxation. Heat allows deeper work to penetrate layers of tension, reducing tight, tense muscles effectively. It delivers a seamless massage of heat and touch, thus continual heat of the shells relaxes your muscles. The smooth texture and shape of the surfaces contour the body, and the angles and edges of the shell allow for deeper work into muscles as the shells become an extension of the therapists’ hands. It improves circulation and freedom in the body as more oxygen and nutrients are brought to the tissues thus promoting healthy well-being. It is best for those with:

  • Aches and pains
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Digestive problems
  • Depression
  • Stress, tension, and anxiety
  • Lethargy and feeling run-down
  • Arthritis
  • IBS and bloating
  • Sore, tired muscles

Heated treatments work to remove toxins from cells, enhance blood flow, increase the function of tissue cells, relaxation of sore, stiff muscles, and relief of painful arthritic joints.

Who shouldn’t have a Lava Shell massage?

  • Anyone who’s recently had an operation
  • If you have an active cancer
  • Pregnant Woman
  • Suffering from Epilepsy
  • DVT

If you are eco-friendly and ready to take your wellness routine, Lava Shell massage is the best therapy you wouldn’t fail to try. It will leave you feeling recharged, rejuvenated, and refreshed. Imagine helping the planet while you are de-stressing.

Best Aesthetic Treatments for the Autumn

Fall breeze and autumn leaves. A shift to a new season means a change to our skincare routines too because it’s not just the leaves that change with the welcoming of autumn; your skin does, too. Skin tightness, dry patches, flakiness, and eczema flare-ups can dampen the changing season. Critical symptoms of “autumn skin” include dryness, dull and sallow skin tone, sun spots, flaking, and irritation as well as the flare-up of some chronic conditions. Luckily, there are many treatments available at DESUAR Spa that our skin can benefit to autumn-proof our skin

Fall is for Facials

Fall is the best time of year to rejuvenate your skin and repair all the summer sun damage. DESUAR Spa is proud to offer highly effective dry skin therapy. Dry skin refers to the amount of oil we produce within the skin. Many people associate dryness with dehydration. However, if the oil levels within your skin are correct, the water content of the skin is almost always healthy. Our facials will help give your skin the moisture it needs! Our customized facial treatments use a variety of products, massage techniques, and equipment that will leave your skin fresh and hydrated. Facials are vital for repairing your skin. The effects of sun, wind, pollution, etc. can cause permanent damage if they’re not addressed. Facials can help reverse this damage and keep your skin in its best shape. Book a facial here.

Aesthetic treatment options for the Autumn

In order to maximize the results from a treatment, it’s important to plan according to the season and your schedule. Autumn provides the perfect storm of elements to achieve top results and a discreet and comfortable recovery. Here are some treatments we recommend taking advantage of during the sweater weather. 

Top 3 Steps to Upgrade your Autumn / Winter Skin Care Routine - Dr Terry LoongChemical peels– After the summer you may be left with more sun-damaged skin, age spots, and wrinkles. Chemical peels are incredible for so many skin concerns. Lines and wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, Acne scarring, and Pigmentation are a few. However, practitioners generally agree that the best time of year to get skin peels is autumn/winter. Chemical peels use a reactive chemical solution to remove the undesirable layer of skin. A chemical peel sounds like a harsh treatment, but in reality, it can greatly vary from gentle to strong depending on the type of solution used for your skin’s needs.

  • Microneedling– This treatment requires strict SPF use and limited sun exposure making it another great treatment to consider during the months ahead. It’s clinically proven to help stimulate collagen production and is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses ultra-thin titanium needles which create tiny micro-injuries in the very first layer of the skin’s surface.
  • HydraFacial: The HydraFacial MD® resurfacing procedure is a wonderful all-in-one way for us to care for your skin. The HydraFacial® cleanses, peels, extracts, unclogs, de-greases, purifies, and hydrates the skin for instantly glowing skin with a reduction of fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone, without irritation or downtime. Unlike other systems, HydraFacial® hydrates not with water, but with the Vortex-Fusion® method using Antioxidants and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, nourish, and protect! Signature + includes any booster and lymphatic

  • Dermaplaning – If you haven’t already booked a dermaplaning appointment with us, Fall is the perfect time to give it a try! This not only removes peach fuzz but also does an amazing job of getting rid of dead skin cells to give your skin a fresh (& smooth) new surface. It’s the perfect treatment for the Fall season as it helps your skin shed all of the dead cells that you accumulated from a few months spent in the sun.

  • CRYO COOLRESTORE BODY FAT REDUCTION & FIRMING– Fall is the ideal season to spend some time reaching your weight loss or body shaping goals. While the treatments can be a welcome and warm retreat from cooler temps and rainy days, the season’s warmer layers act to veil your transformation, as treatment plans generally require six to eight sessions to see optimal results. This leads to greater excitement once you finally reveal your stunning results, whether that’s in an elegant, body-hugging holiday gown or on a tropical vacation in the new year.
  • Laser hair removal – If you’re looking for a more permanent solution for unwanted facial hair or excess body hair, laser hair removal is the perfect option. A course of treatments to fully destroy the follicle can leave the skin temporarily sensitive to sunlight and you may experience some redness and irritation immediately after. For exposed skin areas such as legs, arms and face, consider starting the treatment in September.

Autumn indeed isn’t all fun and games, especially not where your skincare is concerned. Thankfully, there are treatments to optimize your skincare routine for the season.
