From Butt Facials to Caviar Pedicures: Top 7 Weird Spa Treatments
Thursday, April 19, 2007
By Cassie Carothers
Across the U.S., people — OK, mostly women — have been rushing to their local spas this week to receive some weird and wacky treatments, from procedures first devised by NASA to face lifts that don't require going under the knife.
Behinds are looking extra fine, thanks to facials targeting the rear end, and some treatments are so good, you could eat them — literally.
Even better, these treatments come cheap. Much like the "restaurant weeks" hosted in major cities, where diners get to try culinary delights at a lower flat rate, SpaWeek participants can pamper themselves silly with a variety of treatments for only $50. In some cases, this can be a savings of more than $125.
FOXNews.com took a look at some of the more interesting treatments available. To check out spas near you (there are still three days left) go to spaweek.org.
Top 7 Weird Treatments Offered During SpaWeek:
1. Sweet Cheeks Derriere Facial, Euphoria Spa
Whenever women go for a facial, they expect the treatment to be on their cheeks — of their face, that is. But at Detroit-area spa Euphoria, the facials apply to the other set of cheeks — the ones you sit on.
"We always try to come up with different ideas for services and I just hadn't seen it," said spa owner Lisa Johnson. "And that's an area that never gets the treatments it needs. It's like, 'Don't touch the goods.' We sampled it on a staff member to make sure clients would feel comfortable."
Johnson said clients are still covered up as they have their derrieres cleansed and exfoliated. Then a masque is applied and any waxing, if needed, is done. The treatment ends with a warm paraffin treatment.
"The [biggest] problem with it is that people are so apprehensive. But once they get it, they're like, 'Oh my gosh, that feels so good.'"
Johnson said the treatment is available to both men and women, but so far, men haven't taken to it.
Regular price: $65. SpaWeek: $50.
2. New York Post Page Six Facial, Aqua Vitae Spa
Named for famed gossip column Page Six, which runs daily in the New York Post, this customized facial gives the spa-goer a specialized treatment that focuses on the client's particular needs.......http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,267264,00.html
