Swiss Skincare: Alchimie Forever

Filed under: Spas, Cosmetics and Fragrance

The Swiss are known for many things - their private banks, their fantastic chocolate and cheese, and their skincare products, to name a few. La Prairie, Crabtree and Evelyn, Arbonne and Swiss Perfection are just a few of the famed brands to make the jump to the United States, but we were particularly intrigued by boutique line Alchimie Forever on our recent visit to Geneva.

The natural-based line offers a slew of skincare products for men and women alike based on treatments available at their flagship Forever Laser Institut, located just off the Rue du Rhone, the city's most elite shopping street.

We've been longtime fans of the brand's products - they maintain a flagship product store in Washington, DC and sell to several area spas - but were curious about the spa services. Was the Swiss experience going to be that much more phenomenal? Devoted testers we are, an appointment was made.

The spa boasts a distinctly modern vibe, with glowing lights in the spa's signature purple, blue and green colors and sleek, more than plush, chairs, in the waiting room. In keeping with the spa's medical-grade treatments, many of the pamphlets available for our perusal highlighted signature treatments involving lasers, including laser hair removal and Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting), a new method of fat removal that literally freezes away trouble spots. Currently, Forever Laser Institut boasts the distinction of being the only Geneva spa to offer this treatment, developed by MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Cosmetic Medical Procedures Via Home Delivery

Filed under: Services

Southern California is the land of cosmetic procedures and medical spas, and although many customers are happy to go in for their treatments there are those that want more discretion and prefer to get them at home. Destinations Medical Spa makes it possible by sending a board-certified physician in an unmarked SUV (your nosy neighbors never have to know) to your home with all the equipment and expertise needed to perform basic procedures like Botox injections, chemical peels, and laser hair removal. They offer pretty much everything a traditional medical spa does (more in some cases) and prices are comparable.

Certainly puts a new spin on the phrase "I'll just order delivery."

Medical spas are gradually becoming more and more commonplace. A new hospital-based spa, Ology in Carmel, Indiana offers a hybrid of spa treatments and medical procedures such as Botox and dermal filers. The spa is privately owned by plastic surgeons and professors of the Indiana University School of Medicine and has nine treatment rooms including a relaxation/meditation room. The spa offers plenty of high tech treatments including the Visia complexion analysis which compares your skin to those of the same age and skin type and threadlifting where ‘barbed sutures’ are placed in the skin to lift saggy areas. There are also eight massage therapies including a Thai Yoga massage, treatments with Indian oils and ayurvedic facials. The spa also has its own private label cosmo-pharmaceutical line called Philantropik, the proceeds of which are donated to various health care organizations. We keep seeing more and more of this mix of Eastern and Western techniques around the country.There are two locations for Ology and according to an article in the Indianapolis Star, both medical centers and hospitals around the country have expressed interest in franchising the business model.
