Amazing Treatments Offered At Day Spas You would be overwhelmed if you went through the menus offered at most modern day spas. Among the various treatments offered at day spas, facials, manicures, pedicures, scrubs and wraps are the common ones. But have you experienced lymphatic drainage massage, hot stone therapy, shiatsu massage and ayurvedic therapy? Lymphatic drainage massage is being offered at most day spas and is done by using gentle pressure and pumping action at lymph nodes to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system. It is said to boost immune system and detoxify the body. The hot stone therapy is very popular and is being offered by more and more day spas. It is done by placing heated stones on the spine along certain meridians or chakra points. This therapy is believed to penetrate deeper than the usual rubbing massage, and stimulates the flow of energy throughout the body. Shiatsu is a Japanese massage therapy that is becoming popular in day spas. This massage requires you to be fully clothed as the practitioner uses various body parts such as fingers, palms, knuckles, elbows, knees and feet to activate certain meridian points and release blocked energy that is said to cause illnesses. Ayurvedic therapy is the Indian beauty and healing system that is gaining popularity in day spas. It uses herbal oils and pastes to eliminate toxins, strengthen the immune system and delay ageing. The Shirodara warm oil face treatment is desired worldwide. Photo facial treatment is done at most medical day spas by using a hand held device that emits intensed pulsed light (IPL). This treatment is non ablative and works below the epidermis to stimulate collagen production, leaving the epidermis virtually unaffected. It is used for reducing wrinkles and also for hair removal. Whether or not these treatments offered by day spas produce the results promised, one thing is for sure: they leave you feeling relax and recharged.
