Sensational Spa Experience: Vital Tips for Choosing a Spa

Everyone deserves to be pampered, and the spa is the perfect place to do it. Whether the goal is a lunchtime facial or a full-on spa vacation, this guide provides all the necessary tips for choosing and enjoying a retreat. Discover how to create a sumptuous, serene spa experience with Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Sensational Spa Experience: Vital Tips for Choosing a Spa.”

All spas are not created equal. When selecting a spa, consider its specialty, price and professionalism.

Here are common types of spas to choose from:

• Day spa. For shorter treatments or impromptu pampering, head to a day spa, which offers a variety of treatments without having to spend the night. At most day spas people can schedule a single treatment or create an all-day experience that includes a suite of services. Day spas are becoming more common and can be found within hotels, airports, health clubs and salons. For a peaceful experience, make sure that the spa is separate from the salon.

• Medical spa. Unlike a normal day spa, medical spas (also known as “medi spas”) offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments under the supervision of licensed professionals. These include laser treatments for discoloration, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, photofacials, Botox and chemical peels. A medical spa may feel more like a clinic than a luxurious retreat; however, many medical spas also offer traditional treatments including massages and body wraps.

• Destination spa. A destination spa is a comprehensive spa experience where guests are immersed in health and wellness. In addition to traditional spa services, many destination spas offer educational classes, yoga, hiking and other health-inspired activities.

• Resort spa. Not to be confused with a destination spa, resort spas are more common and provide experiences that go beyond spa services. Resort spas are great for families as they include fun activities such as golf, tennis and swimming.
