Facial

There are different kinds of masks (e.g. cactus, cucumber, etc.) for different purposes: deep-cleansing, by penetrating the pores; healing acne scars or hyper-pigmentation; brightening, for a gradual illumination of the skin tone. Some masks are designed to dry or solidify on the face, almost like plaster; others just remain wet. The perceived effects of a facial mask treatment include revitalizing, healing, or refreshing; and, may yield temporary benefits (depending on environmental, dietary, and other skincare factors). There is little to no objective evidence that there are any long-term benefits to the various available facial treatments.

Acupressure

Acupressure (Chinese -Tui na), is an alternative medicine technique often used in conjunction with acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through “meridians” in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points or ashi trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices.

Although some medical studies have suggested that acupressure may be effective at helping manage nausea and vomiting, low back pain, tension headaches, stomach ache, among other things, such studies have been found to have a high likelihood of bias. There is no reliable evidence for the effectiveness of acupressure.

Waxing

Our extremely gentle soft wax is applied thinly on the skin and removed with a soft muslin strip. This type of wax is recommended for large areas of the body such as: arms, legs, back and chest. This wax is recommended even for the most sensitive skin.

Our French hard wax is applied onto the skin and once cooled is removed alone without a strip. This type of wax is a cooler temperature and very gentle on the skin. Recommended for smaller areas with coarse hair, and specially for Brazilian waxing.

We have strict sanitary procedures in our waxing techniques, and we do NOT “double dip.” You can feel safe and assured with your waxing service at Anson Spa.

Foot Reflexology

Pressure point massage is used on the feet to balance energy throughout the body. Help to eliminate toxins, relax the body and stimulate the healthy function of internal organs.
