Remedy Spa Now Open in Waikiki

There's nothing like a spa day to refresh and rejuvenate - especially during these uncertain times, and spa-goers now have a new, luxury spa to head to - Remedy Spa in Waikiki!  I attended a media event where I got to tour this brand new spa, and I was blown away!

This beautiful spa is equipped with high-end technology, and decked out with exclusive, elegant decor that elevates the experience from the moment a guest walks in.  

With three treatment rooms to choose from and a variety of treatment options, guests can relax in an ultra plush ambience while getting pampered.  

 According to a press release, some of the treatment options include:

The Kino Lomi massage combines the Hawaiian practice of lomilomi with lymphatic drainage and Eastern healing techniques. An LED treatment will deliver the benefits of light therapy into the skin’s deepest layers, while helping to reduce inflammation, while relieving discomfort from arthritis, joint stiffness, and general muscle tension.

The Lymph Balancer is a purifying and detoxifying treatment that also promotes microcirculation. The superficial treatment performed with circular motions using Biologique Recherche’s body glove stimulates lymphatic flow, which ultimately aids in creating a free-flowing lymphatic system that removes toxins from healthy cells and tissues, while eliminating excess fluid, waste, and dead blood cells.

The Stomach Retreat is an abdominal massage that focuses on the stomach, small and large intestines, and the muscles surrounding these organs. Besides helping to relax the body, the treatment aids in the release of physical and emotional tension, reduction of muscle spasms, increased blood flow, assistance with weight loss, toning and strengthening of the abdominal muscles. The treatment incorporates the lymphatic drainage body glove to aid in detoxification.

Hyper Cavi+RF treatments implement the gold standard in beauty industry technology for the quick removal of subcutaneous fat as lipids and cellulite. This non-invasive device combines collagen building, anti-inflammatory technology of LED Red light therapy with skin-tightening and rejuvenating effects of heat and electricity.

Fleurette Lash treatments are luxuriously upgraded versions of the traditional lash perms, and are more effective and beautifying. Also, Lash Tints are offered along with Lash Lift / Perm to create more noticeable results, eliminating the need for mascara for 3-4 weeks. Classic, Hybrid, Volume, and MegaVolume eyelash extensions are offered for customers based on the level of fullness desired.

 

From custom chandeliers to top-of-the-line sterilizing equipment, Remedy Spa goes above and beyond to offer guests services to rejuvenate the body, mind, and soul in a setting like no other. Visit www.remedyspahawaii.com to book an appointment.

SpaHalekulani Halekulani Facial

Last year SpaHalekulani at Halekulani celebreated its 15th Anniversary. Fast-forward a year later, and I was able to treat myself to what was one of the best spa experiences I've ever had.

I opted for the Halekulani Facial - 80 minutes of pure bliss!

Each spa treatment begins with the signature Spa Salutation, which includes foot stimulation to begin the rejuvenation process. 

After changing into a wrap, I was ready for my treatment! 

The Halekulani Facial incorporates the use of Pure Mana products. These made-in-Hawaii eco-conscious products consists of an "organic skincare line of oils and botanical blends made entirely from locally sourced, farm-grown, or wild-crafted ingredients," which are blended and activated with crystals.

Throughout the 80 minutes, my skin was thoroughly indulged with the luxurious Pure Mana products, while my amazing therapist, Kelley, did her magic on my skin.

A thorough cleansing was followed up by an exfoliant, which helped to eliminate any residue from my face.

The thoughtful application of each product and the gentle motions did not go unnoticed.  I could actually feel that with each step, my skin was just getting cleaner and cleaner, and I could only imagine how much residue was getting wiped off each time Kelley applied a warm towel to my face.

During the facial a mask was put on, and after the treatment, Kelley said my skin was just glowing.

The Halekulani Facial also includes a fantastic arm and leg massage, as well as a scalp massage and foot scrub.

I was literally pampered from head to toe.

And I dozed off nearly a dozen times!

The soothing background music, combined with the lovely scents of the skin care products and Kelley's massaging, made me completely relaxed. 

It was heavenly.

I don't think I could ever go back to a 60-minute treatment!  That was the first time I experienced a treatment beyond 60 minutes, and the 80 minutes really flew by. 

After the treatment, you could freshen up with amenities supplied in the room. 

You are then treated to mochi ice cream and hot or iced tea (I opted for water), and are allowed to simply sit back, relax, and take in the beautiful sights.

If your skin needs some pampering, book the Halekulani Facial at SpaHalekulani!

Fountain of Youth Facial at Moana Lani Spa

I had an amazing Mother's Day Weekend at the Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort & Spa.  One of the highlights was time spent at the Moana Lani Spa, where I recharged my mind, body and soul.

The 18,000-square foot spa and fitness space has a whirlpool tub, dry sauna, and steam room, as well as massage therapy rooms, custom facial rooms, and a Vichy sower hydrotherapy room.  Couples suites are also available.

Moana Lani Spa offers a variety of services to rejuvenate your entire being.  From massages and facials, to body wraps and salon services, you can find the ideal treatment for your needs.  A number of enhancements are also available to add on to your treatment, allowing for the ultimate in relaxation and pampering.

In addition to offering signature services, such as a Lomi Lomi Ola massage performed by a traditional Lomi practitioner, or a Heavenly Massage to help you relieve tension, the Moana Lani Spa has recently added more clinical treatments based on guest feedback.

Since I'm at the age where I'm getting more and more concerned about my skin, I opted for one of the new clinical treatments - the 50-minute Fountain of Youth Facial.

This procedure uses radio frequency, along with a custom cleanse, quantum lifting techniques, and a signature soothing and firming gold mask to help with increasing collagen and improving firmness, to leave skin with a natural, youthful glow. 

Denise, my esthetician, was fabulous.  She explained the entire process and the different products and procedures as the treatment went along.

The radio frequency machine did not hurt at all.  As Denise used the wand on my face, it was actually very relaxing.  My face was cleansed, exfoliated, toned, moisturized, massaged, and thoroughly pampered.

The treatment also included a neck, shoulder, and decollete massage.

During the entire treatment, I felt completely at ease, and Denise did not hesitate to answer any questions or provide suggestions on how to address any skin concerns I had.

I did not want the treatment to end!  The fifty minutes went by too quickly!

After 50- or 80-minute treatments, guests are treated to a collagen shot and chocolates!

I absolutely loved the Fountain of Youth Facial.  I could definitely notice a difference in my skin immediately after the procedure, and hours later, I was still quite impressed with how great my skin looked.

The results of the facial, combined with how amazing Denise was, made me realize how much I needed to take better care of my skin, how much I needed the pampering, and that I need to do it more often!  Yes, a spa treatment can be pricey, but it's totally worth it, in my opinion.  And great news for kama`aina - the current Heavenly Kama`aina Club offers great discounts to local residents.  You can find out more information here.

After your treatment, you can just sit in tranquility in the waiting area and watch the crashing waves of the ocean and nibble on some snacks, you can shop the spa store, or you can access any of the other spa facilities - the whirlpool, sauna, etc., until closing.

Whether you need a massage, need to refresh your skin, or need to pamper your body, visit Moana Lani Spa!
