Why Do you Need a Manicure?

The manicure is one of the most fundamental treatments available at any luxury spa.

Women of all ages should take the time for a manicure on a regular basis or as part of your ongoing self-care routine. Why?

Join us as we explore just a few key reasons.

Enjoy some ‘me-time’

Everybody needs to take time for themselves once in a while. Whether you’re a full-time professional, a busy mom caring for multiple children, studying at college or a combination of all three, me-time gives you a critical chance to unwind.

A manicure is a terrific way to do just that. First and foremost, you simply cannot beat the feel of being pampered by a qualified professional who knows exactly how to make each manicure a blissful experience.

Even if you don’t have time for a fifty-minute session, you can still gain immense satisfaction from a shorter manicure. Your manicurist will be happy to listen to your problems if you wish to vent some frustration.

If you fit a manicure into your lunch break or after a long day, you’ll find your mood is lightened while your nails look undeniably gorgeous.

A rejuvenating massage may be included

Certain manicure treatments include a hand massage.

Few experiences are quite as relaxing as a professional massage, especially on the hands. You can simply sit back, close your eyes and focus on the expert fingertips working their magic.

The massage will help to improve circulation and range of motion. Better circulation can help any injuries or muscle sprains in your hands heal faster and leave your joints feeling better. Better range of motion ensures your fingers are more flexible and less stiff.

Keep your hands looking at your best

One crucial — and very obvious — benefit of a manicure is aesthetic: your hands will look far healthier and more attractive.

Other people notice your hands and nails, no matter if you’re meeting them for the first time or the hundredth. Scruffy nails and cuticles in bad condition can look unsightly, especially if you have clients to impress or want to make a positive impact on an impending date.

Embrace nail art to refresh your entire look

Nail art can be absolutely beautiful. Your manicurist may be able to show you an extensive portfolio of different options, incorporating a huge variety of colors and designs.

Whichever you choose, nail art can give you a whole new look and bring a dynamic edge to your personal style. Nail art helps you to express yourself in a somewhat subtle way in a professional environment too, without changing the way you dress or altering your hairstyle.

Astra Medi Spa’s range of exceptional hand treatments includes outstanding nail art. If you decide a manicure is just what you need, consider adding nail art to enhance the overall effect of your treatment.

Our experienced specialists have performed countless manicures to clients, and multiple packagesare available, offering you the chance to relax in a luxurious environment.

Top 5 Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Have you ever considered laser hair removal?

Many of us remove our body hair through shaving or waxing. Both of these have their benefits, of course, but laser hair removal is a faster, more effective option – especially when performed using a cutting-edge technology like Electro-Optical Energy (ELOS).

At Astra Medi Spa, our highly-trained experts have created long-lasting, smooth results for countless clients. If you’re curious about trying our laser hair removal procedure for yourself, take a look at the five benefits below.

#1: Laser hair removal is effective

ELOS laser hair removal is extremely effective. This state-of-the-art technology digs deep into the hairs’ roots to impact the follicle, without causing any dermatological harm.

After subsequent treatments of ELOS laser hair removal, your hair growth will reduce. As a result, your skin will start to look and feel smoother over time.

#2: Safety and comfort as standard

Shaving requires a steady hand, but it’s incredibly easy to nip or cut your skin if you’re not quite as careful as you should be. Waxing is a safer option but can be daunting if you haven’t done it before.

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure. Our ELOS treatment is based on bi-polar radio frequency and optical laser energy, impacting hairs at a deep level without harming any of the surrounding skin.

Our laser hair removal treatments are quick and gentle. No pain medication is needed afterwards, and we use a cooling spray on the target areas before the laser pulse connects to maximize your comfort.

The laser is absorbed by the skin and transformed into heat, leaving the surrounding flesh unaffected.

#3: Save money and time on other treatments

If you shave your body hair every day or on multiple occasions each week, it becomes a very time-consuming process. Not to mention the cost of razors over weeks and months.

Laser hair removal provides longer-lasting results, creating smoother skin without a demand for constant upkeep.

Our ELOS treatments should be repeated every four to six weeks for between three and five sessions (on average). Just think of the time you can save without having to take care of your own body hair as part of your regular grooming routine.

#4: No more ingrown hairs

Ingrown hairs can be painful and unsightly — and with laser hair removal, you can avoid them altogether.

This can make a big difference if you’re prone to ingrown hairs, avoiding potential discomfort and infections.

#5: Ideal for shave-free holidays

Laser hair removal is ideal if you plan on going away for a beach holiday, or if you’re set to visit a hot location. Undergoing the treatment shortly before you travel gives you the freedom to leave your razors or hair removal cream at home.

You will be able to relax and wear whatever you like, safe in the knowledge that your skin will be smooth and sleek.
