SPA - what is it?
 Today, perhaps no more than a fashionable trend than the SPA, in the world of beauty and care. But many customers know about what it is, have difficulty in precisely defined, confused between the Thalassotherapy center and a beauty institute.
So SPA - what is it?


SPA - the world of the rich and well-kept.

Venues luxurious, well-groomed beauty, they bloom almost everywhere in the world and offer care on a silver platter! After the great era of thalassotherapy, France finally appreciated fashion madness spa, directly came to Europe from the United States. Any self-respecting hotel mnogozvezdochny now must be equipped spa center in order to match their level.

And the brand of cosmetics, offering the most expensive items in the product range (Shiseïdo, Caudalie, Guerlain, Lancôme, Givenchy) would not be worthy of more than his prestigious title, if they did not have the latest developments under the sign of wellness and beauty spa care.

What is different at first glance from the center SPA Center Thalasso?

Luxury above all. Functionally, being on the intersection between the Institute of classic beauty and Thalasso center, SPA immediately stands out, luxurious interior, the purpose of which - creating a soothing, relaxing environment.

Ervan Madek (Erwan Madec), Director of Thalgo Spa Management (Center for Management SPA, France) said: "Spa Center suggests mandatory water treatment, at least a jacuzzi. We can say that the center of Spa - it is assembled under one roof, swimming pool, hydrotherapy baths, showers Charcot, steam baths".

Spa takes its name from the Belgian resort of Spa, which has emerged as an abbreviation of the Latin aphorism "Sanitus Per Aqua" - «Health because of the water." But as the world of beauty does not want to talk much about health, it becomes "Salus Per Aqua" - «Care of water," explains its part Christel Lana (Christelle Lannoy), director of the Center Spa Pevonia (France).

"Spa - a cousin of thalassotherapy, with the spa - an approach far more aestheticized, hedonistic and implemented in cosmetic medicine" continues Erwan Madec.

At the spa you can spend just a half - day (Day spa) or a week of complete rest in any place with outstanding natural attractions, on the coast or on Mount (Spa Resort).

In addition balneotherapeutical procedures, SPA centers very popular among customers enjoy massages. Most exotic (Shiatsu, Thai or Ayurvedic) massages fit well with the philosophy of relaxation and well-being of dual-unity of the mind-body, which is eager to get away from urban stress around us.

Men and women in the center of Spa.

As well as the men feel at ease in a beauty institute, originally designed for women, they seem to have taken the world of fine spa, judging by the mixed in equal proportions clientele of these centers. Today, in addition to general procedures, many expensive spa centers offer separate treatments for men and women.

Did the high price of quality procedures in the top - center of the spa?

Yes, as far as the thalassotherapy has managed to democratize, so the world is the world of luxury spa. It is possible to calculate the average cost from 55 to 70 euros per procedure (prices vary according to the duration of the procedure from 45 minutes to 90, and even up to 120 minutes for some massages).

But note that high-paid, is, according to Christelle Lannoy, should be a real service, top-quality procedures, including a serious responsibility to the client.

"Spa - it is a philosophy, a state of mind, it's time more careful care than just procedure. Today, separated from the medium beauticians specialists for spa, connecting much knowledge for the benefit of the client.

Massage lasts at least one hour. Put the mask on your face, do not leave the client in a cabin for a single second, every moment it must feel our effective care: provide modeling feet and hands, massage the scalp during anti-cellulite body wraps. For many products today, smells wonderful and fine texture. All this contributes to making the procedure a great moment of sensual elegance. "

Spa trends.

Only in France, Thalgo Management currently has approximately twenty prestigious projects in the "spa resorts" (including accommodation) and about fifty projects Day spa (spa city).

But at the same time it does not exist SPA accurate qualitative criteria. Like any fashion phenomenon, it endangers get a lot of fakes, copies inaccurate. To avoid this, use the spa with a proven track record.
