Beauty & Spas in Spring Valley

Namaste Organic Spa is a full-service holistic health spot that uses natural products to perform a bevy of body-care, skin-care, and alternative health treatments. A detoxifying body wrap or exfoliating body scrub will help you say sayonara to the stress that makes millions of Americans eat dry spaghetti every night before bedtime. During a 15-minute reflexology massage ($22.50), Namaste therapists stimulate and energize key pressure points, programming internal playlists to the looped, soothing sounds of gentle waves. Upgrade today's Groupon to treat yourself to a two-hour Namaste herbal detox, which rids cluttered interiors of impeding impurities.

Hot stones and aromatherapy oils gently glide across the body inside private rooms at @ease Spa, unwinding tight muscles and calming tense minds. Aromatherapy is also used during facials to rebalance the complexion and make sure clients don't leave with their faces smelling like regular old skin. Other relaxing services at the spa include a full-body sugar or Dead Sea mud rub and Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient technique where light pressure is applied to 26 specific points on the body to relieve aches and improve respiration. No matter the treatment, the spa's massage therapists are glad to customize pressure to each guest's liking, and afterward, a complimentary sauna and shower await.

Most spas dabble in several aesthetic arts. But at Laser Hair Associates of Rockland, the staff specializes in a single service: laser hair removal. The three owners—each of whom holds laser technician certification—apply their expertise to all treatments at the center, targeting hair follicles with Candela’s FDA-approved GentleMAX laser. Just seconds before the laser permeates the follicle, the handpiece emits a spray of cooling cryogen, helping to prevent discomfort or prematurely melted ice cream. A few days before treatment begins, the technicians will also consult with clients and treat a test patch of skin to make sure it reacts well to the laser.

The trained techs of Innovative Esthetics Skin aim to relax and rejuvenate clients with advanced skin and spa services performed inside a tranquil beautification haven. Bodies can be effortlessly sculpted with the fat-emulsifying powers of a Liposonix body-contouring treatment, or the radio-frequency waves of a Thermage session. Chemical peels, stimulating massages, and vitamin-rich ingredients infiltrate seven types of facials, each tailored to meet the client's skin type and concerns. To create body trophies that shine brighter than a gifted child perched atop a unicorn, Innovative Esthetics’ staffers use Candela GentleLase lasers to remove hair, and red and blue LED light-therapy systems to help treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.

Brushed Tanning Studio's skilled spray-gun wielders provide a healthy alternative to traditional sun worship with UV-free sunless-tanning treatments. Using an FDA approved, 100% organic formula derived from raw sugar cane, certified technicians carefully cover every curve and contour with a golden glow that gradually appears over the course of 24 hours. The entire process takes as little as 10 minutes and lasts an average of 7–10 days, though results can last up to two weeks for clients who exfoliate sparingly or are particularly adept at time travel.

The certified massage therapists at Harmony Within Massage Therapy aim to reduce pain and improve range of motion with a number of massage modalities that range from classic Swedish massage to four-handed massage work. Raindrop therapy uses essential oils and acupressure to help treat pain, and Reiki aims to channel energy, bringing balance and harmony to the body. Meanwhile, the Isabell Gatto method uses the therapist’s fingertips to apply pressure to 50 specific points on the body, opening blocked energy pathways. Two private massage rooms provide a tranquil setting as candles flicker and warmth streams from a heated massage table equipped with a blanket, and heated neck and eye pillows.
