Winter Spa Treatments

Local spas offer holiday-only deals to beat the holiday blues

You don’t have to wait for Spa Week to enjoy deals on spas in Georgetown. Luckily local spas are offering a spa experience for less…and just in time for the holidays, which can be stressful with last-minute shopping, overbearing in-laws, and flight delays. Now, all you have left to do is brave the cold weather.

Feeling blue? Why not boost yourself out of the darkness with a LED light therapy facial. According to the web site, this treatment works to penetrate deep into your skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, energize the cells, giving you a youthful glow. This Seasonal Obsession package is $170. Want to be smooth all winter? Try Smooth as Ice ($90) and enjoy a trio of waxing: eyebrow, lip and bikini. Come out of hiding with the Hibernation Rejuvenation (50% off), which uses photorejuvenation to even out pigmentation and signs of aging. Promotions are valid through February 28th.

So, you want to treat yourself to a spa, but can’t decide between a massage or facial. Why not do both? Get a massage at regular price and receive a facial at 20 percent off (except 30 minute sessions). Try the Slimming Detox Far infrared Sauna Wrap, to fight off muscle and joint pain and fatigue, for half price ($48) if you get a massage or a facial at regular price. The boutique is offering an extra 10-minute massage for 60 ($110) and 90 minute ($150) massages weekdays through December 23. For those on your list, 10 percent off any Gift Certificate purchase. But hurry, these specials last through the end of the year.
