If you find yourself a regular at the spa looking for some ‘me’ time to relax, unwind and beautify yourself, you’ve probably noticed that the options of different facials, massages and scrubs are all rather common. After doing an article on airport spas we noticed the Absolute Spa in Canada had a wide variety of options for both men and women. We decided to highlight some of the most indulgent.

A popular facial at Absolute Spa is the Absolute Diamond Facial, which lasts about 75 minutes. This facial uses ‘laser cut diamond particles’ to refresh the skin and keep it soft and smooth and they even use a new dust-free way of applying the facial.

Aged mud, herbs and minerals come together to create the Moor Mud Facial, which is designed to help cleanse the skin and pores that often do not receive enough attention. This type of facial can help with skin regeneration.

For those tight muscles or bad backs, the Lomi Lomi Coconut Massage was designed to completely nurture and pacify the body. Guests can choose from a 45-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute session. Lomi is the Hawaiian for massage and this entire practice links back to the ‘healers of Hawaii.’

Absolute Spa also caters to expecting mothers with the Nurturing Rose Pregnancy Therapy. This process is specifically designed for those mothers-to-be who need to relax and take a break from all the stresses of pregnancy. Unique massaging beds are set up especially for these women to make sure they get the most tranquil experience possible. Executed by a registered massage therapist, this massage is designed to iron out all those aches, pains, and worries as the big day approaches. Expectant mothers cannot be in their first trimester when getting this massage.

Is there anything more tranquil than the sound of tropical birds chirping away or the drips of rain off of a silky leaf in the forest? Not to those who came up with the Rainforest Body Buff, another treatment featured at Absolute Spa. This 45 minute process consists of a natural sugar scrub to clear away all that dead skin, a ‘vichy’ shower (like a waterfall in the forest), and the application of a naturally scented body crème or oil.

Absolute Spa is geared towards both men and women. One that is popular with some men is a Professional Sports Hand/Foot Care package specifically designed to help skin that has been damaged from sports. This process usually takes 45-60 minutes.

Y-Spa Face Treatments are used to help make and keep a man’s face from breaking down to some of the negatives of aging. The Pumpkin Peel is one of these treatments.
