Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michelle Welch and her experienced staff pamper guests with relaxing massages and specialty facials in earth-tone rooms freckled with idyllic works of art. During the spa’s 60-minute Elante facial, an aesthetician cleanses skin to remove dirt and oil before gently rubbing visages with a custom-blended exfoliant that allows patrons to cloak themselves in a pleasant glow without joining a gang of lightning-bug ruffians. Faces and necks benefit from a circulation-boosting massage, after which a purifying mask, signature eye cream, and moisturizer leave complexions dewy and fresh. Spa guests who opt for a Swedish-style muscle kneading recline as a licensed massage therapist transfers tightly held stress and tension from muscles into a voodoo doll in the likeness of a least-favorite town crier.
