Body Treatments

Exfoliating treatments are a must on every spa's menu of offerings, and the starting point for other body treatments, such as body wraps. Malinda McHenry, a licensed aesthetician and instructor, walks you through the steps of providing three full-body exfoliation treatments in a dry room setting: dry brush exfoliation (the standard method used prior to other treatments), gel-based chemical exfoliation, and the classic salt body scrub. She covers all the steps from preparation to the finishing touches that your clients will love. She discusses room and table set-up, supplies, available product types, client preparation, and benefits and contraindications. She also shows step-by-step how to mix and prepare products, drape and position clients, keep clients warm, stimulate lymphatic flow, remove products in a dry room setting, and provide a pre- and post-treatment client consultation.
