Beauty & Spas in Galena Park

Spa owner, aesthetician, and massage therapist Karen Randon strives to restore her clients’ natural radiance with a combination of relaxing and cosmetic treatments developed throughout her more than decadelong career. The spa's massage selection includes gentle Swedish sessions, pain-relieving deep tissue therapy, and hot-stone treatments, which ease aching backs by channeling their past lives as lava. Aloe-herbal body wraps coax bodily toxins out of their pores, leaving patrons with a feeling of well-being, and LED teeth-whitening treatments use bleaching gels and light energy to transform pearly-white smiles into alabaster grins.

At River Oaks Weight Loss Center, the experienced staff, helmed by owner Dr. Saghy Motamedy, strives to help each patient meet individualized wellness and aesthetic goals. Dr. Motamedy, who practices a philosophy of bringing together traditional medicine and alternative methods for wellness, and her staff perform a wide range of aesthetic and wellness services—from medically supervised weight-loss programs to Zerona body-contouring treatments.

Within the walls of Webster Family Wellness Center, board-certified chiropractor Dr. James Vanderloop has worked with his team to ease the discomfort of more than 1,000 patients suffering from such ailments as migraines, fibromyalgia, ADHD, irritable bowel syndrome, and insomnia. The crew, made up of a certified hypnotherapist, a nutrition specialist, and licensed massage therapists, works together to address the health effects of many aspects of life. The nutritionist helps craft weight-loss plans and discusses the advantages of certain foods. To realign spines and reduce back pain from trying to find the expiration date on boulders, the massage therapist draws on techniques from 19 distinct massage modalities.

Dr. Robert Kratschmer's former career as a NASA engineer gave him a desire to make the human form more aerodynamic. Now a board-certified plastic surgeon, he makes physiques sleeker with liposuction, tummy tucks, and cellulite treatments or reshapes ungainly rudders with rhinoplasty. Some of his less invasive treatments include wrinkle-reducing injectables and Vivité facials, which serve as good solutions for those not ready to go under the knife.

From reflexology to eyelash extensions, licensed massage therapist and aesthetician Emma Thompson does it all. She invites both men and women into the cozy Angelic Touch Spatique for a menu of relaxing and beautifying treatments she performs herself. A lime-green cloth blankets the massage table in an otherwise neutral-toned spa room, where Emma enlists deep-tissue kneads, warm stones, and aromatherapy body scrubs to loosen muscles and joints and obliterate stress. She slims limbs and tummies with 45-minute seaweed body wraps, and gives mugs the fresh and clean aura of a newborn's credit history with signature facials and waxing treatments.
