RESCUE SPA NEW YORK

It`s the ultimate dream of every beauty addict: a place where to walk in your usual self, and emerge, in just a few hours, an optimized, brand-new you. A dream come true for the female population of New York: as, after the success of its urban spa in Philadelphia (where there is a 4-6 weeks waiting list) Rescue Spa has finally opened its doors in Manhattan. Centrally located in the Flatiron district, a stone´s throw from Union Square, the new centre is a sleek “one stop beauty heaven” where to indulge in a total makeover: thanks to an array of rejuvenating facials, massages and body treatments using the latest technologies; as well as waxing, manicures, pedicures, eyebrows & lashes tinting and shaping, and hair and makeup, executed by highly skilled therapists. The “piece of resistance”? The time-reversing Signature Facials, a full-on experience. Starting from the Classic Facial, that includes, apart from the deep cleanse-exfoliation-extraction-masks routine and a variety of personalized lotions and serums, a sculpting face massage that instantly lifts and plumps the complexion (price $150). Particularly sought after is the Fix-it-all-Facial ($ 300), especially if executed by renowned aesthetician and owner of Rescue Spa Danuta Mieloch. After an in-depth skin analysis, a bespoke treatment is formulated according to the needs of the guest`s skin at that very moment: where a combination of microdermabrasion, radiofrequencies, LED Light Therapy, IPL, Oxygen Therapy and Biosonix Ultrasound ensures that the customer will walk out of the salon with the best skin she (or he) could achieve. Advice on which products to use to maximize and prolong the effects follows. “Your skin is a matter of choice, not chance” preaches Poland-born Danuta. The serene and luminous space is also a luxury boutique where to stock up on niche cult products such as those by Biologique Recherche, MBR Medical Beauty, 3 Lab, Chantecaille, By Terry, RMS Beauty or Vintner´s Daughter. Heaven indeed.
