Westbury, NY Spa and Massage

At Sunset Spa, trained massage therapists harness therapeutic massages not only to help customers relax, but also to help treat pain, stress, and other maladies. Guests seeking to relieve pain from accidents, injuries, muscle fatigue, or inflammation can find solace in a variety of modalities. Medical and therapeutic massages involve testing and stretching muscles, while Swedish massages use long, deep strokes to improve circulation and induce relaxation. Meanwhile, deep-tissue massages reach focus on deep muscle aches, and sports massages aim to reduce soreness stemming from trying to inflate a basketball with a hand pump until it explodes.

The licensed therapists at Medical Massage Clinic dedicate themselves to helping to relieve a range of muscular ailments, including stored tension, chronic pain, and aching joints accrued from excessive slam-dancing at retirement parties. One-hour sessions include such modalities as Swedish and hot stone, which relax back muscles while increasing circulation. Specialized treatments target problem areas and include trigger-point therapy, during which knots of tension in muscles are located and unraveled with the determination of a string-hungry housecat.

The skilled technicians at all of O Spa's three beauty havens focus on fostering whole-body well-being as they tend to skin with more than 10 treatments, including more than 10 massage modalities. Advanced med-spa treatments include laser hair removal with the Eterna Giovinezza by Quanta System, which destroys follicles at the root with its heated rays in 15-minute to two-hour sessions. Permanent-makeup sessions focus on defining facial features with cosmetic tattoos. The areas are first covered with a topical anesthetic to make the experience more comfortable before a permanent-makeup artist inks the lids with faux eyeliner, fills in the brows, or creates the illusion of full lips by tattooing "I Heart Mom" around them.
