The intensity of the massages and the ambiance of the waiting room are two of our favorite aspects of this establishment. They offer their own range of goods, which are also available in the steam baths and locker rooms, making it perfect for a whole-day event.
Reflexology, Reiki, and Lymphatic massages are among the favorites. They’re also known for their LED, Lightening Treatments, and Hydrafacials all of which contain powerful chemicals like Vitamin C and Alpha-Arbutin.
