Hot Bamboo Massage

Bamboo is known as a powerful healing tool in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Bamboos of different lengths and sizes are used for body massages in spas. The intensity of the massage can be increased by heating the bamboo using a heating pad, or in a warming cabinet. Extra heat will allow a deeper penetration to the tissue and muscles that increases the effectiveness of the massage.

A Hot Bamboo Massage can be extremely helpful in relieving pain in the hands and wrist as the practitioner performs repeated deep tissue work massage on the area. It also improves body circulation, enhances blood flow, increases the circulation of lymphatic fluid, helps body functions, and lowers blood pressure through the stimulation of the heated, rolling movements of the bamboo sticks. Moreover, it helps in flushing body toxins and removing metabolic wastes from muscles and organs, because bamboo is a natural antioxidant that contains silica which aids your body in absorbing calcium, potassium, magnesium, and other essential minerals that give your skin a healthy glow. In addition to this, the massage relieves migraine, improves quality of sleep, helps in managing respiratory illnesses, and nourishes the skin. Aside from the physical benefits that can be derived from this hot bamboo massage, it also provides mental and emotional benefits such as relaxing and soothing effects.

M’Lis Wrap

This body contour wrap is a technique that can help you slim down and smooth your skin by using a body wrap that contains warming and moisturizing components such as niacin and aloe.

This is a natural and holistic approach that will not only improve your body figure and skin appearance but also help in detoxifying your body. The wrap applies circulation and gentle pressure techniques to flush toxins and wastes by performing internal detoxification. The detoxification targets the cellular level in the circulatory and lymphatic systems. With this, an average of 2 to 4 inches is lost, the skin is evidently toned, and there is a decrease in the appearance of cellulite in the skin. The procedure does not allow water loss but makes sure that the body and skin are fully hydrated. M’Lis Wrap also produces permanent results and at the same time, is very soothing and relaxing.

Hydrafacial

This is one of the most popular facial treatments that applies a resurfacing treatment to clear out your pores and hydrate your skin. It involves cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration of the skin with the use of serums that will be infused into the pores using a HydraPeel Tip device. It works by vacuuming blackheads, dirt, oil, and impurities as it hydrates and nourishes the skin using salicylic and glycolic acid applied to the skin.

According to Dr. Anna Guanche, a prominent celebrity dermatologist, benefits that can be derived from this treatment are improving complexion, decreasing signs of aging as it reduces wrinkles, brown spots, and fine lines, adding skin firmness, improving skin texture, and reduce enlarged pores.

Four-Hand Massage

A Four-Hand Massage involves two therapists who work together on your full body massage by using synchronized moves and balanced application of pressure. Therapists perform the massage by applying detailed moves at different paces on your body targeting different pressure points. The benefits derived from this massage is different from the usual type because your mind will react differently when there are four hands massaging your body as it helps you let loose during treatments.
