You don't Need to Travel to Manhattan for a Four Handed Facial
The four handed facial is a strange sensation but is deeply relaxing. This facial is performed by two trained technicians, it allows for continual treatments and assures that you enjoy a rich sensory experience. Anyone who has ever dreamed of having a four handed massage will not want to miss the facial version of the treatment.
Originally a Cornelia signature spa treatment in conjunction with the Ritz Carlton, when the Cornelia spa closed the luscious facial stayed alive in other venues found in Manhattan's Upper East Side. It is now a featured treatment at the upscale Pierre Michel Salon, which also offers a luxurious hand and foot massage along with the reservations-required four handed facial. Special promotion events for the treatments can have waiting lists so early bookings are essential (Pierre Michel, 135 East 57th, 212-755-9500, $205).
Laser Light Facial Treatments - Classic New York Style
While a manual treatment such as the four handed facial might be appealing, other wellness and relaxation centers are jumping far into the future. At the Natural Balance Massage & Wellness Center, L.E.D. Photolight treatments are used to make sure that a deeper level is reached in the to reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen production. The effects are visible, but the sensation is imperceptible.
As a completely non-invasive treatment, the L.E.D. Photolight treatments require no downtime after the session to start enjoying your newly improved looks. To maintain the extraordinary results means keeping out of the sun, and cumulative treatments are recommended (Natural Balance Massage & Wellness Center, 3013 Quentin Road, Brooklyn, 718-336-8400, $30).
Bird Facial - Geisha Facial is now Available in Manhattan's Upper East Side
The pinnacle of Japanese style beauty was idealized with the Geisha, a woman whose porcelain complexion was to be envied by all. The secret to that perfectly pore-less perfection was rumored to be uguisu no fun, also known as nightingale droppings. However, for decades nobody believed that anyone would actually put bird poop on their face to have that beautiful complexion . . . until the treatment arrived once again in Shizuka in New York.
Proudly advertised as the "Bird Poop" facial but officially known as the Geisha Facial, treatments last for 60 minutes. However the ancients prepared the mixture, the modern blend is made from powered nightingale droppings that are treated with UV lights to sterilize them before they are applied to the skin. The droppings are then blended with other botanical agents and powdered Japanese rice bran before being applied to the skin; treatments leave a polished slate with a pearly luster behind (Shizuka New York Day Spa, 7 West 51st St, 6th Floor, 212-644-7400).
You don't need to live in one of the luxury Condos in Manhattan's Upper East Side, or frequent New York's luxury district to get the best spa treatment - but the experience is worth the trip.
