Stressed out by the demands of work and family? Need a vacation but don’t have the time? Escape to a spa — an oasis of calm and relaxation — and indulge in pampering treatments to soothe body and soul.

Spas have evolved from the ancient Greek and Roman baths to facilities that include cosmeceutical procedures. Massages top the list of the most popular of the services offered at spas, followed by facials.

The different types of spas include:

Day Spas

Day spas offer a menu of services that include facials, massages, body treatments and manicures and pedicures. At these spas, you can enjoy a hydrating facial or treat yourself to a head-to-toe spa experience that lasts a day.

Destination Spas

Destination spas generally focus on an area of wellness, such as diet or exercise. They will also offer face and body treatments as part of the regimen.

Eco-Spas

Think green. Often located in a natural setting, eco-spas incorporate practices that are as gentle to the environment as they are to your skin. The products they use for treatments will generally be made from organic ingredients.

Medispas

The newest type of spa is the medispa where procedures such as microdermabrasion or injections of Botox are performed under the supervision of a licensed medical professional.
