Give your looks - and your mood - a lasting lift

High-energy food Our modern day obsession with youth and beauty can be exhausting to live up to. Even for those who prefer to let images of what’s ‘desirable’ just wash over them, there’s still a part in everyone that wants to look our best. And the busier our lives get, the harder that seems to be. Making room for some downtime or even getting a full 8-hours sleep is increasingly difficult to accomplish, and the everyday demands take their toll on our appearance.

More than anyone, celebrities fall victim to their own relentless pursuit of perfection - and often turn to cosmetic surgery as the answer. Yet we’ve all seen the horror stories that can result! Frozen faces, lopsided body parts, and even death in the most tragic circumstances. All this has helped to create renewed appreciation for the effect our inner health has on our outer appearance, placing a greater priority on finding alternative solutions to surgery.

Exercise is, of course, a vital part of the package. Staying active brings a whole host of physiological and psychological benefits, which ultimately shows in your
appearance. But for those who want that little bit more, alternative health and beauty treatments are becoming increasingly popular. More and more people are shying away from the scary prospect of surgery and instead opting for non-invasive forms of treatment, so they can turn back the clock – without turning to the knife.

And that’s why we’ve created HeavenV. It’s a unique spa experience where you can choose from a range of technologically advanced beauty therapies, (available at a fraction of the cost of cosmetic surgery - and with none of the discomfort) along with a full menu of deeply restorative holistic treatments to lift mind and body. Sound tempting? Well, here’s a glimpse at what’s on offer:

Anti-ageing

Is a non-surgical facelift possible? With new advances in technology, the revolutionary CACI Super Non-Surgical Facelift or Guinot Hydradermie Lift both use a painless micro-current to stimulate, tone, and tighten the muscles of the face. This treatment gently encourages skin cells to function more efficiently, so your facial muscles will look and feel firmer, giving you a visibly lifted appearance, with more defined contours and a more youthful glow.

Skin rejuvenation

With Ellipse IPL Skin Rejuvenation you can minimise, if not totally reverse damage caused by sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and stress accumulated over the years by stimulating collagen production in the dermis. This treatment has a powerful anti-ageing effect, which leaves skin looking smoother and firmer, with fine lines and wrinkles either eliminated or noticeably reduced. Ellipse IPL is widely considered to be the ‘next-generation’ of laser therapy, and it can also be used to remove unwanted hair, counteract acne conditions, and reduce or eliminate skin discoloration, age spots, redness, large pores, thread veins and more.

Renewed vitality

ESPA has developed a range of specialist facials to stimulate mind and body - for a vibrant, youthful glow. The Advanced Concept Facial uses essential oils plus hot and cold stone therapy to massage vital Chakra points on the face and body to release tension, while firming and hydrating mature and stressed skin. Also from ESPA is the Regenerating & Firming Eye Treatment, which combines seaweed extract, green tea and vitamin C to reduce fine lines and protect the eye area from the elements, leaving you looking and feeling refreshed and revitalised.

Detoxifying

Stimulate your circulatory and lymphatic system with ESPA Stimulating Hip & Thigh Treatment, which counteracts ‘blockages’, cellulite, fluid retention and uneven skin texture. A deep exfoliating treatment is followed by a detoxifying massage using essential oils and warm marine algae to banish any ‘orange-peel’ effects.

Nourishing

Replenish your skin’s moisture levels with the [comfort zone] Rebalance Hydramemory facial. This deeply hydrating 24-hour treatment uses hibiscus and honey to retain moisture, whilst trehalose, a special ingredient that enables desert plants to stay hydrated in truly extreme conditions, helps to increase moisture. The result? Your skin is left feeling silky smooth and looking.

Plumping

Glorious Skin [comfort zone] provides an immediate lifting, plumping and tensing effect to counteract the natural sag and drop of your facial muscles over time. Incorporating the ingredient hexapeptide, which works as a muscle inhibitor, Glorious Skin gives a noticeable boost to your appearance, and can be used in conjunction with a special homecare programme for ongoing lifting and firming effects.

Revitalising

The ultimate beauty pick-me-up, the Guinot Hydradermie Plus Facial firms, tones and revitalises the skin to maintain a healthy, balanced complexion. Focusing on the face, eye area, neck and décolleté, this treatment deep-cleanses, oxygenates and regenerates the skin, delivering dramatic and lasting results. The deluxe treatment includes a luxurious Serenity Massage (exclusive to Guinot) complete with relaxing essential oils for an overall sense of wellness and calm.

Brightening

There’s no better way to revive your skin’s sparkle than with a Guinot Liftosome facial treatment. Using orange extract, ginseng and collagen, this stimulating thermal facial regenerates and energises mature skin, leaving it noticeably firmer, smoother and rebalanced.

Slimming

Instant inch loss is now possible without surgery - with Slimwrap. This treatment uses a sea clay formula to draw out toxins and flush them through the lymphatic system for an overall slimming effect. Skin feels firmer and smoother after one treatment, however, a course of four treatments is recommended for longer lasting results.

Calming

Placing hot stones of varying sizes on different parts of the body - from the forehead to between the toes – a deeply relaxing Hot Stone Massage treatment creates a sensation of warmth, comfort and inner calm. The smooth, volcanic basalt stones retain their heat for as long as possible, which helps to detoxify the body and relax the nervous system, with deeply restorative benefits for mind and body.

Healing

Reiki is an ancient Japanese, non-invasive treatment that works with your body’s natural energies to heal illness and injuries, and restore a sense of wellbeing. You will experience a warm glow of radiance and sense of total relaxation within minutes, with many more holistic benefits long after treatment. Or you can try Reflexology - another highly effective natural therapy, which brings safe, gentle and deeply relaxing results for mind and body. By manipulating pressure points in the hands and feet, which correspond to parts of the body, this natural therapy can counteract physical ailments and boost your overall sense of wellbeing.
