SPA FACIAL
Your skin – especially your face – suffers the damaging effects of sun exposure and other environmental factors that can lead to the appearance of premature aging. The quality of your skin is also affected by individual factors such as diet, genetics and lifestyle and over time the pores tend to become clogged with oils, dirt and makeup which can contribute to acne breakouts and uneven texture. Stress can exhibit in facial muscles and leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. When you consider all of the regular visits you make to the doctor, dentist, hair salon and gym…it stands to reason that you really should be focusing some extra time on your skin as well.
Our SPA Facial performed by a licensed technician will hydrate your skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines by means of exfoliation and stimulating the growth of new skin cells. Our SPA Facials help you maintain a more youthful, radiant appearance, a healthier glow and more even skin tone.
Each SPA facial begins with a skin analysis, a cleansing and then a second cleansing which is followed by an exfoliating and extraction (blackhead removal), if needed. Next you are treated to a relaxing facial massage and application of an exfoliating mask. After the mask sets up for approximately 10 minutes it removed and toner is applied, followed by a moisturizer.
Benefits of a SPA Facial
- Unclogs pores and removes impurities, including black heads, whiteheads and pimples
- Detoxifies the skin for better circulation
- Relieves tension and stimulates cellular renewal
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and blemishes
- Hydrates skin for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance
By thoroughly cleansing your face to remove impurities, a facial can help prevent breakouts while also hydrating your skin and stimulating cell turnover to reduce the appearance of aging. We also incorporates the element of deep relaxation by relieving tension in the face with a soothing massage, relaxing the muscles that contribute to the formation of wrinkles as well as the onset of tension headaches.
Our SPA Facial requires no downtime, however depending on your skin type you may experience mild redness following your facial – particularly if you’re suffering from acne. Any discoloration should return to normal within a day or so.
Many of our clients see their results immediately after their facial. Your skin will appear more radiant with a noticeably smoother texture. Clients who incorporate regular Massage Green SPA Facials into their skincare routine continue to realize improvements over time.

INFRARED SAUNA
Infrared light (experienced as heat) is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate human tissue to produce a host of health benefits. It is naturally occurring from the sun and is the basis for the technology in our infrared saunas. And while sauna therapy has been known for centuries as a way to detoxify the body, full-spectrum infrared saunas go even further by heating your body’s core at a cellular level where most toxins are stored.
Infrared light has the ability to penetrate human tissue which in turn produces a host of anti-aging health benefits, and has made our infrared saunas one the “hottest” therapies for overall healthier living. Massage Green Full-Spectrum Infrared Saunas heat the body directly rather than simply warming the air, raising core body temperature to produce a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level where most toxins reside. Each spectrum provides significant benefits in key areas of cellular health, and induces 2-3 times the volume of detoxifying sweat than a traditional steam sauna. Less toxins in the skin means healthier skin with improvements in skin complexion, tone, texture, elasticity and overall appearance.
Benefits of Infrared Sauna
Detoxification
Did you know the build-up of toxic substances leads to a host of common illnesses? Cleansing the body of these toxins through natural sauna detox may help relieve symptoms, prevent future illness and increase overall health and vitality.
Lower Blood Pressure
High blood pressure increases your risk of getting heart disease, kidney disease or serious stroke. Infrared sauna therapy dilates blood vessels and reduces the volume of their inner lining, thus increasing circulation to promote healthy blood pressure—proving the medical benefits of infrared sauna therapy.
Improved Circulation
Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use—especially in the mid infrared range—can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
Weight Loss
Infrared heat technology will help you burn calories—only our infrared saunas are clinically shown to aid in weight loss and lower waist circumference in just a three-month period.
Relaxation
Long-term stress is the cause of countless negative physiological effects on the body. Infrared sauna technology delivers therapeutic heat so you can be enveloped in soothing warmth to relieve stress, ease your muscles and help you fully relax.
Pain Relief
Infrared sauna heat works by penetrating joints, muscles and tissues, increasing circulation and speeding oxygen flow. One session in our infrared sauna and you’ll see how infrared heat reduces muscle spasms and helps the body heal itself naturally. Toss out the pain pills and step into one of our healing infrared sanctuaries to relieve tension and relax muscles. Near-infrared heat therapy has been shown to help the production of white blood cells which alleviate inflammation and reduce swelling, which are two key factors in easing bodily pain.
