The new medi-spa at anne martin is an oasis, and its presence has dispelled the notion that it is impossible to create a spa in a shopping mall.

Located at the rear of their store in the Village Plaza, the medi-spa and skin clinic features five treatment rooms. Each room is individually decorated and named according to its d?cor and function. The Euphoria and Renaissance rooms have so far been the favourites of many clients. Each treatment room has the most advanced skin care equipment and decked with plant life, water feature and ambient lighting, all contributing to a most restful haven.

Synonymous with skin care and cosmetics, the introduction of the medi-spa, has elevated the element of skin care to a new dimension. Services include an advanced skin clinic operated by highly-qualified, resident dermatologist, Dr. Arusha Campbell-Chambers.

The Concept

Anne martin is offering curative treatments for the face and body in a spa setting. This focus extends beyond the relaxation effects of a spa; it is therapeutic in nature.

There are 14 facials targeting various skin conditions. For example, a sinus allergy facial which instantly provides relief for clients with sinusitis. This is a departure from the one facial for all - irrespective of skin type.

Facials are administered after careful analysis of clients' skin condition and type. Similarly, we have formulated massage treatments for the body to alleviate pain, stress and to eliminate toxins from within the body.

Products

After extensive research of the region's skin problems, anne martin has elected to use the Avanc? line of products - a French range of items for achieving beauty through wellness.

The Avanc? line utilises the curative powers of land and sea plants as the pH of the skin's surface equates most closely to that of sea water.

Infused with algae, the sea's natural purifier, the Avanc? cleansing system eliminates impurities while preparing the skin for treatment steps that nourishes and protects.

For one week only, commencing, today March 26, a complimentary neck and shoulder massage is offered with each facial.
