Eight YellowPagers give Pure Spa an average of four stars.

Corrective Skin and Vein Center’s cosmetic technicians polish visages to gleaming radiance with skin-rejuvenating masks and peels. Pumpkin or papaya enzyme peels dissolve dead and dry cells while jumpstarting epidermal rejuvenation, leaving faces filled with youthful vim and vigor. Diamond peels utilize crystal-tipped wands to gently strip away spent cells, spiriting old skin away with suction action and a concert from the Pied Piper. The peels are strong enough to stimulate subsurface cell growth and gentle enough to let patients return to hectic lives or fully booked leisure schedules without downtime. Treatments conclude with a BioJouvance mask, which coats faces with a soothing mélange of vitamins, antioxidants, and hydrating unguents that moisturize mugs left dry from hands-free sand-eating contests.

Hands of Faith is dedicated to providing skilled massage therapy on luxurious, heated tables. With today's deal, a professional therapist will perform one of three massage techniques on your beleaguered torso. Swedish massage is a classic technique that relaxes the body and invigorates the tissues with smooth strokes, smothering stressors and promoting circulation. For a deeper level of muscle manipulation, take advantage of the signature massage, which combines the soothing benefits of Swedish techniques with the greater pressure and muscle mollification of deep-tissue massage. The remedial massage ups the pressure of Swedish technique like a moped outfitted with a jetpack, providing thorough relief for sore, aching muscles, cramp-prone hamstrings, and knotted, circulation-deprived areas. Leave your session feeling as relaxed and rejuvenated as a snake shedding last year's tired fashions.

South Beach Tans and Spa partitions its newly remodeled facility into two separate spaces: a secluded spa area offering skincare and waxing services and a livelier hallway that opens into private UV- and spray-tanning rooms. Clients can purchase single sessions or monthly packages for regular beds as well as VHO beds, which employ 42 lamps to produce a darker tan.

The company’s aestheticians curate complexions in warm, softly lit treatment rooms with noninvasive skin treatments designed to soften the signs of aging. The spa team also specializes in hair-removal using sugaring paste—a compound blended from sugar, lemon juice, and water—that exfoliates skin while yanking follicles out by the root, ensuring less hair breakage than tweezing or blasts from a freeze ray.

From more than 80 locations nationwide, the therapists of Elements Therapeutic Massage performed more than 400,000 massages in 2011. The deft team continues their pursuit of pampering by performing comprehensive consultations before every service. Once health concerns have been highlighted, therapists ameliorate stress by applying the client's desired level of pressure and avoiding any and all knock-knock-joke attempts. Though all of the therapists are well-versed in Swedish and deep-tissue techniques, some are also familiar with prenatal, sports, hot-stone, or trigger-point modalities.

The licensed massage therapists at New Beginnings Massage Therapy soothe stressed physiques with a full menu of massage modalities. Therapists calibrate the amount of pressure to please each back, working over muscles with the techniques of standard Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone treatments or specialized prenatal, reflexology, and cranial massages. The staff also promotes healthy skin with paraffin-wax dips for the hands and feet, sugar scrubs, and seaweed body wraps for homesick mermaids.

In addition to enlivening bodies with a sense of well-being, New Beginnings Massage Therapy also inspires joy by raising support for the Down Syndrome Association.
