Tried & Tested: Bespoke Facial And Massage Services At THIA Wellness

Team Sassy — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 22:00:35 +0000

Join us for a visit to Central oasis THIA Wellness for a luxurious bespoke facial and massage…

The cure to a long, hard week? How about jetting off to a far-flung resort – or the next best thing? We’ve discovered a convenient destination within budget and reach, that you can turn to before your next vacay. We’re talking about urban escape THIA Wellness, a hidden refuge right smack in the middle of Central. This editor paid a visit for the first time after work for a mid-week reset and, spoiler alert, we’re already planning our next visit!

My First Impressions Of THIA Wellness Urban

After being welcomed into the space, I filled in a short form to list out what I’d hope to get out of my visit. I had built up a lot of tension in my shoulders and wasn’t getting enough sleep at night, so I was hoping to relieve some stress and leave feeling relaxed. Then, I sat down with my massage therapist, Lena, to pick out the essential oils that would be added to a base of sweet almond oil and used for my massage. I told her I enjoyed citrus scents and that I was having trouble sleeping, so she recommended a combination of grapefruit and camomile.

Before my massage, I asked for a quick tour. It was surprisingly spacious (I was told it doubles as a yoga and meditation studio). The rooms, divided by heavyweight curtains, were dimly lit and cosy. I especially loved that each room featured a unique piece of art (painted by the owner’s father), which gave each space its own personality. There is also an open-air urban garden space out back, where guests can relax after their treatment with a cup of tea (or Sparkling Wine upon request!).

The THIA Signature Massage

THIA Wellness recently partnered with award-winning Japanese skincare brand Lapidem, so I wanted to try the Lapidem Facial ($1,100) and THIA Signature Massage ($1,000). The bed was heated and the sheets were soft and fluffy; this immediately got me to relax right before we got started. Lena was very diligent in making sure that the pressure was to my liking throughout my massage.

I requested that she pay special attention to my shoulders, where I had accumulated a lot of tension (it didn’t help that I have terrible posture and am notoriously known to always be carrying a heavy tote). Lena agreed that my shoulders were indeed very tight; I almost felt bad about how much effort she had to put into ironing out all the knots. Slowly but surely, the tension from my body melted away. Lena was extremely gentle but knew where a little more pressure was needed. The 60-minute massage felt twice as long, which is always a good thing.

The THIA Wellness x Lapidem Facial

Next, time for my facial! This felt nothing short of a luxurious affair. With Lena’s whisper of a touch, even the process of removing my makeup was a soothing experience. Once my face was clean, she applied a gentle and natural konjac exfoliant and buffed any dead skin cells away in small circular motions.

My favourite part came next. After wiping off the facial scrub, she applied Lapidem’s Body Cell Cream which, to my delight, had the scent of another citrus fruit, yuzu. She worked the product into my skin with ice globes, a special glass massage tool that’s filled with water (usually kept in a freezer or cooler before the treatment).

The icy touch was startling at first but the experience was overall quite sublime. The sensation of the cold globes gliding over my face was incredibly relaxing but also felt like my skin was waking up. As we gave the product some time to sink in, I was given a bonus head and shoulder massage — my cue to accept the nearing end of my time at THIA Wellness.

Final Thoughts

I left feeling extremely refreshed and found comfort knowing I wouldn’t have to travel too far for another visit. Best of all, the beauty and massage services here are affordable even without the special perk we have lined up for you.

LPG Face & Body Treatment: What Is It And How Does It Work?

Team Sassy — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 22:00:17 +0000

We trialled the body-sculpting and skin-firming LPG beauty treatment at High Society Skin Clinic — here’s what to know and what we thought.

If Barbie can grapple with cellulite, it’s safe to say you’re not alone. If you’ve been struggling with your body and want a little help, the new LPG 10th Cellu M6 Alliance Spa treatment at High Society Skin Clinic might just be your solution. We jumped in a cab and made our way to Central to try the innovative new beauty service at High Society Skin Clinic — a spa that specialises in high-end technology, offering every service from eyebrow microblading and tinting to lash extensions, semi-permanent makeup, facials, body sculpting, laser hair removal, botox and more.

What Is The LPG Endermologie Beauty Treatment?

First things first, what is LPG Emdermologie? Also known as emdermologie, this cutting-edge technology is used to firm the skin and in body contouring. It uses a machine equipped with a roller and suction device to gently manipulate your skin and underlying tissues. This mechanical stimulation of cells is called endermologie. By targeting different areas of your body and face, where you might have stubborn fat, loose skin or cellulite — like we all do — it helps to tone and reduce double chin! The best part is it’s all achieved non-invasive.

How Does LPG Work?

The patented technology involves the massaging action of the roller and suction, which work together to knead and fold the skin. This motion activates your body’s natural processes of fat releases.

The gentle mechanical stimulation can also trigger collagen and elastin production. These are proteins that contribute to skin elasticity and firmness, giving your skin a firmer, brighter and smoother look.

How Was Team Sassy’s LPG Treatment?

Our treatment comprised a 30-minute LPG Endermologie session for the body and 30 minutes for the face. Before it starts, we are asked to put on a white bodysuit that ensures proper movement of the machine’s rollers. Then we lay on a fluffy spa bed (ideal for daydreaming) as a trained technician switches on the machine, with a handheld device equipped with rollers and a suction mechanism. This gadget will be applied to my body and face.

LPG Endermologie For The Body

The treatment starts with a roller that stimulates the body, with a focus on areas where stubborn fat tends to accumulate, like the belly and thighs. Your skin is softly lifted and folded by the rollers, in a kneading motion; a gentle massage with the added sensation of suction. This combined action allows the technology to act directly on the adipocytes existing in our hypodermis, aka the slimming cells.

LPG Endermologie For The Face

After the body treatment, the technician switches to a much smaller device for the face. It featured a similar rolling and suction sensation but with less pressure. The motorised flaps encourage the natural production of essential chemicals good for your skin. This cell stimulation causes fibroblasts – renewing cells – to create more hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin – the substances that naturally give our skin its volume and hydration, as well as reducing wrinkles.

Final Thoughts

While we feel firmer skin right after the treatment, the clinic recommends having multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. According to the staff, hyaluronic acid levels are increased by 80 percent following a Face Endermologie treatment, and wrinkles are reduced by 87 percent. Collagen network appearance grew 240 percent after 20 sessions of Face Endermologie.

So, if you’re seeking a non-invasive method of body sculpting and skin improvement, LPG treatment might just be the choice for you!

New customers can use the code “SASSY” to enjoy their first trial LPG treatment at the trial price of $880 for LPG Face Endermologie (usually $2,680) or $680 for LPG Body Endermologie (usually $1500). Offer valid until Monday, 30 September, 2024..

What’s The Difference Between Waxing, IPL And AFT Laser Hair Removal?

Waxing is a non-permanent but effective and safe way of removing hair, that pulls out the hair from the root; as opposed to shaving, which trims the hair at the skin’s surface (and often sees hair grow back within a few days). With waxing, you can go two to three weeks without worrying about your hair!
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a type of laser treatment that’s used to treat everything from fine lines to spider veins and age spots. Laser hair removal can be used anywhere on the body but it requires multiple treatments over the course of several months. In IPL, gentle pulses of light are applied to the hair root which makes it go into a “resting” phase where your hair falls out and, in time, grows less in that area. And it leaves you totally smooth.
AFT is a special subtype of IPL laser hair removal treatment: Advanced Fluorescence Technology. This is a next-generation semi-permanent hair reduction method that uses, again, beams of specially filtered light to weaken the hair follicles, which helps to delay and even stop hair regrowth entirely.

A No-Needle Face Lift For A Fresh Look

Team Sassy — Tue, 30 May 2023 22:00:35 +0000

A face lifting procedure with no needles whatsoever? We take a closer look at the Emface treatment at High Society Skin Clinic.

The ultimate one-stop beauty destination, High Society Skin Clinic offers every service from eyebrow microblading and tinting to lash extensions, semi-permanent makeup, facials (including Double Hifu), Neo Emsculpt, laser hair removal, injectables and more. So consider us intrigued about the aesthetic centre’s newest offering — the revolutionary needle-free Emface treatment.

A rejuvenating facial treatment, Emface is an aesthetic procedure that contours the face, reduces the look of wrinkles and improves your skin laxity, all as it tones and lifts your muscles and skin!

So what makes it so revolutionary? It’s totally non-invasive, using absolutely no needles from start to finish. Emface is also the first and only device that simultaneously treats the facial skin and muscles, emitting monopolar radio frequency (RF) and high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES), providing supramaximal contraction.

The medical-grade product uses homogeneous heating to target your facial layers with dynamic “impedance” technology, inducing depolarization of motor neurons’ membrane. All this complicated cutting-edge tech results in increased collagen production and elastin fibres, remodelling and smoothening out the skin — improving the overall appearance and texture!

Use the code sassy to get a first-trial price of $8,000 for the Emface facial (originally priced at $12,000!). Valid until Saturday, 11 November, 2023.

Sassy Tried & Tested: Bliss Spa At W Hong Kong

Team Sassy — Thu, 11 May 2023 22:00:30 +0000

There’s no shortage of spas in the city, so what makes Bliss Spa stand out? Team Sassy put it to the test!

Anytime you step into an elevator and press a button to whisk you up 72 floors, you know you’re in for a treat! And so, as tough as it sounds, that’s how this Sassy editor found herself enjoying some time out from an extraordinarily busy week for an afternoon of self-indulgence.

Arrive At W Hong Kong Early To Unwind

One of the best things about booking a treatment at W Hong Kong is making a proper spa experience out of your day. Make sure you arrive 45 minutes to an hour early to fully make use of all the Bliss Spa facilities on offer. Take a dip in the recently reopened WET® Deck or vitality pool with its spectacular views over Victoria Harbour and relax in the aroma steam room and Himalayan salt stone sauna.

Spa Couples Suite At Bliss Spa

After a quick questionnaire, I was ushered off to begin my spa day in the ultra-luxe couples spa suite. It’s fair to say this was a bit of a pinch-me moment. As I walked in, the scent of lemongrass, reminded me of tropical vacations and immediately put me into relaxation mode. Overlooking the urban jungle below, the private jacuzzi was piping hot and bubbling, all set for me to forget the stresses of the day. After what seemed like five minutes (but was actually half an hour!) the knock on the door came to signal it was time to start.

Massage And Body Scrub Treatments At Bliss Spa

I was treated to a body scrub followed by a full-body massage. I’d opted for gentle to medium pressure with relaxation as the goal, with the therapist kindly checking in regularly.

Turns out I’d been a bit more stressed than I thought, with the therapist expertly finding the exact point in my shoulder blade where I hold my tension. Intuitively knowing that she was causing some discomfort, she made sure to ask if everything was ok. While offering to back off if needed, she also reassured me that by gently working out those knots, I’d feel better in the long run. Spoiler alert — she was right.

Another nice touch was the paraffin foot treatment. I’ve always had terrible circulation and can feel my fingers turning to ice even as I type this now. Nothing a hot cup of tea can’t fix, but when it’s tingly toes, it can be quite the distraction on the massage bed. This part of the treatment was like a warm foot mask creating a cocoon from my ankles to my toes. Not only did I feel cosy, but my feet were left silky smooth.

A Gentle Reentry To The World

My two hours flew by way too quickly. Thankfully, my package also included a light lunch and a glass of Champagne in the relaxation room. Well needed because I certainly wasn’t ready to get back to the hustle and bustle of the real world! I took my time to kick back and flick through some magazines (research in case my boss asks why I was gone so long!). Any excuse to linger a little longer at Bliss.

Final thoughts On W Hong Kong’s Bliss Spa

Bliss Spa was everything you’d expect from a high-end spa, with well-appointed treatment rooms and expert therapists. The price point is comparable to other five-star hotels but do your research and jump on the packages with lots of extra inclusions. Think experience vouchers, complimentary Champagne, swimming pool access and more. I can definitely see myself booking a spa day with girlfriends or a romantic couples treatment with my other half.

Team Sassy — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 22:00:14 +0000

Reset and refresh this month with a powerful skincare treatment at Korean beauty clinic Seoul Aesthetic, and grab some exclusive discounts and deals!

It’s spring in Hong Kong — and there’s no better time to reset and refresh, with a powerful face and body skincare treatment at Seoul Aesthetic. It’s no secret that South Korea is at the forefront of the beauty industry, and this aesthetics clinic offers you those first-class Korean cosmetic and medical services, right here in Hong Kong.

From gentle, science-backed skincare to the prettiest makeup products, K-beauty is a real game-changer. Seoul Aesthetic goes a step further, with innovative treatments and services based on advanced technology, to cater to any and all needs.

Think dermatology, medical hair removal and regrowth, powerful skincare and, should you want it, aesthetic procedures like cosmetic plastic surgery and injectables carried out by medical practitioners. It’s all about high-quality and authentic Korean therapies and other specialised treatments, that are always safe and effective!

Head to the heart of Central for its signature skincare treatment, carried out by its professional therapists. Plus, it’s a great alternative to harsher laser treatments, perfect for those of us with ultra-sensitive skin.

The 90-minute Korean Signature Skincare Treatment uses an LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-Ultrasound) machine to deliver diverse ultrasonic wavelengths, stimulating collagen production and moisturising the skin, making it appear firmer, tighter and smoother. It fights acne and soothes eczema, and reduces the look of redness and scars.

Plus, this April is Seoul Aesthetic’s anniversary! To celebrate, the clinic is offering deals and discounts until Sunday, 30 April, including:

50% off on Skin Booster Cocktails, when you buy three or more!
25% off Thread Lifting, upon purchasing two parts or more of the service
