RG Spa’s Milestone Certification by Larger Luxury: Embracing Size Inclusivity

Everyone deserves self-care, wellness and to feel beautiful. How can you relax and be your best in a place where you feel judged or where you don’t feel welcome? We believe that everyone deserves to experience the peace, relaxation, and rejuvenation that a spa can offer, regardless of their size, shape, or background. That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce that RG Spa and Wellness has become the first spa in Edmonton to be certified by Larger Luxury, a leading organization dedicated to ensuring size inclusivity and accessibility in luxury spa and wellness services. In fact, we are the first spa in Canada with this designation.

We are genuinely on a journey of learning and growth as business owners and as practitioners.

Our Commitment to Inclusivity

One of the key elements of this certification is our attention to detail in ensuring that our facilities can accommodate many.

Is you hair thinning? Over-coloured and over-processed? Hair extensions wreaking havoc? Dry itchy scalp?

Keravive Hydrafacial Scalp Treatment is a revolutionary scalp therapy that combines the power of hydration, exfoliation, and rejuvenation to promote a healthy scalp and fuller, healthier hair. This innovative treatment, designed by the experts at Hydrafacial, focuses on improving scalp health, which is often overlooked in our regular beauty routines. Now available at the top luxury spa in downtown Edmonton, open seven days a week to the public with free parking. Read on to learn more..

Why Scalp Health Matters

A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful, strong hair. Just like the skin on your face, your scalp can suffer from dryness, clogged pores, and poor circulation. These issues can lead to problems like dandruff, hair thinning, and even hair loss. By prioritizing scalp health, you can enhance hair growth, strength, and overall hair quality. It is even thought that a healthy scalp can help with peri-menopausal hair loss and thinning.

The Keravive Hydrafacial Experience at RG Spa and Wellness

Keravive Hydrafacials are recommended in a series of three visits, spaced out once every month. You can certainly try one treatment, but it is most common to purchase the package of three sessions for best results, which can include a take home product.

Step 1: Cleansing and Exfoliation

The journey to a healthier scalp begins with a deep cleanse. Our skilled therapists use a unique Vortex Technology to gently exfoliate the scalp, removing dead skin cells, excess oil, and other impurities that can clog hair follicles. This step not only cleanses but also stimulates circulation, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth.

Step 2: Hydration and Nourishment

After cleansing, your scalp is ready to receive a potent blend of hydrating and nourishing ingredients. The Hydrafacial Keravive Peptide Complex Solution is applied, packed with growth factors and skin proteins essential for scalp health. This solution deeply hydrates the scalp, encouraging healthier and stronger hair from the roots.

Step 3: Stimulation and Relaxation

The final step involves a relaxing scalp massage to enhance circulation and ensure the even distribution of the nourishing solution. This massage not only feels incredible but also maximizes the absorption of the treatment, leaving your scalp feeling revitalized and your hair looking fuller and more vibrant.

The Benefits of Keravive Hydrafacial Scalp Treatment

Promotes Hair Growth

By addressing scalp health, the Keravive Hydrafacial Scalp Treatment helps to create the optimal conditions for hair growth. Regular treatments can lead to thicker, fuller hair over time.

Reduces Dandruff and Dryness

The deep hydration and exfoliation provided by this treatment can significantly reduce dandruff and dryness, leaving your scalp feeling comfortable and refreshed.

Enhances Overall Hair Quality

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. By improving scalp health, you can enhance the overall quality of your hair, making it shinier, stronger, and more manageable.

Improves health of Colour-Treated Hair and Extensions

For those who colour their hair or use extensions, maintaining scalp health is crucial. Chemical treatments and extensions can often lead to dryness, irritation, and damage to the scalp. The Keravive Hydrafacial Scalp Treatment offers deep hydration and nourishment, helping to soothe and repair the scalp. This not only supports the longevity and vibrancy of your colour but also provides a healthy base for extensions, reducing the risk of breakage and discomfort.

Why Choose RG Spa and Wellness?

At RG Spa and Wellness, we believe that everyone deserves a touch of luxury in their lives. Our Keravive Hydrafacial Scalp Treatment is designed to provide exceptional results at an affordable price. Our top team of therapists is committed to delivering personalized care in a clean, bright, luxurious environment.

The Top 5 Causes of Winter Dry Skin and RG Spa’s Soothing Solutions

As the winter chill sets in, our skin often pays the price, losing its natural moisture and luminosity. At RG Spa and Wellness in Edmonton, we understand the importance of maintaining radiant, supple skin even in the coldest months. Let’s unveil the top 5 causes of winter dry skin and share our expert tips to keep your skin glowing all season long.

Why Is My Skin so Dry?

1. Frigid Temperatures and Low Humidity: Winter brings a drop in temperature and humidity levels, leaving your skin parched and craving hydration. The cold air strips away the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and a lackluster complexion. Combat this by indulging in our luxurious hydrating treatments, specially curated to replenish moisture and restore your skin’s vitality.

2. Hot Showers and Baths: While nothing beats a hot shower or bath on a chilly day, prolonged exposure to hot water can strip your skin of its essential oils, contributing to dryness. Opt for lukewarm water and treat your skin to our spa’s moisturizing therapies that provide the perfect blend of relaxation and hydration.

3. Indoor Heating Systems: Central heating systems may keep us warm, but they also contribute to a dry indoor environment that can sap the moisture from our skin. Our spa’s skincare experts recommend regular facials and nourishing masks to counteract the effects of artificial heating, leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated and deeply moisturized.

4. Windy Weather: Winter winds are notorious for their ability to whip away moisture from exposed skin. Shield your skin from the harsh elements by applying a protective barrier, such as our spa’s nutrient-rich skincare products. Our formulations are designed to create a defense against the cold, ensuring your skin remains soft and supple.

5. Inadequate Hydration: Dehydration is a common culprit for dry skin, and during winter, it can be exacerbated. Ensure you’re staying adequately hydrated by sipping on water throughout the day and indulging in our spa’s signature drinks infused with skin-loving ingredients. Hydrated skin starts from within.

At RG Spa, we believe that winter should be a season of indulgence, not skin woes. Our range of rejuvenating treatments and expert skincare advice will leave you feeling pampered and radiant. Embrace the winter months with confidence, knowing that your skin is receiving the care it deserves.

RG SPA RECOMMENDATIONS

For facials, we present to you the 111SKIN Meso Infusion Hydration Facial . Hydrate. Volumise. Contour.

In recent years, the spa industry has seen a significant shift in gender demographics. Gone are the days when spas were predominantly a haven for women; men are now embracing self-care and relaxation just as enthusiastically. One spa treatment that has gained popularity among men is the pedicure. The benefits of this treatment extend beyond gender stereotypes. In fact, in our first year here inside the Royal Glenora Club in Edmonton, the top bookings for pedicure parties have not come from bridal parties, but from our 60+ male squash and tennis crowd! Let’s explore the reasons why these men are, indeed, doing it right!

The benefits of pedicures for men

Health Benefits

First and foremost, pedicures offer a range of health benefits, regardless of gender. Feet are a vital part of the body, and neglecting their care can lead to various issues. Pedicures involve trimming and shaping toenails, which can prevent ingrown nails that may become painful and infected. Furthermore, the removal of dead skin cells and calluses during a pedicure helps prevent issues like corns and bunions. Regular pedicures also promote better foot hygiene and reduce the risk of fungal infections.

Stress Relief

Stress is not exclusive to any gender, and the relaxing environment of a spa can work wonders for everyone. During a pedicure, you have the opportunity to unwind, let go of daily stressors, and focus on self-care. The gentle foot massage and warm foot soak can be incredibly soothing, promoting relaxation and reducing tension.

Improved Confidence

Taking good care of oneself can boost self-confidence, and well-groomed feet are a part of that equation. Men who maintain their feet through regular pedicures not only feel more confident but also present themselves with pride. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just for personal satisfaction, well-groomed feet can make a lasting impression.

4. Athletic Recovery

Men who lead active lifestyles, including athletes, can benefit immensely from pedicures. Sports often put added stress on the feet, leading to calluses, blisters, and other foot-related issues. Regular pedicures can help alleviate discomfort, promote better circulation, and ensure that the feet are in peak condition for athletic performance.

5. Bonding Experience

Getting a pedicure can be a great bonding experience for couples, friends, or family members. At RG Spa and Wellness, we have four pedicure stations, allowing anyone to share this enjoyable self-care ritual with loved ones. We even have special rates for your little ones, so bring your children or grandchildren along for a fun afternoon together!

Pedicures are a universally beneficial practice that promotes health, relaxation, and self-confidence in everyone. Men who embrace pedicures are taking a proactive step toward holistic self-care and overall well-being. So, gentlemen, don’t hesitate to treat yourselves to a relaxing pedicure session at RG Spa and Wellness so you can truly put your best foot forward!

The Importance of Regular Facials and Having a Trusted Skin Care Practitioner

Maintaining healthy and glowing skin is not just a luxury; it's an investment in your overall well-being. One of the most effective ways to achieve and maintain healthy skin is by indulging in regular facials and establishing a relationship with a trusted skin care practitioner. A dedicated skin care expert can transform your skin and boost your self-confidence.

Personally, I have always had what I considered to be “good skin” but never have I had so many random compliments as this past year. From the service tech at Volvo Edmonton, to the sports broadcasting event I recently attended- I have never had so many compliments on my skin, and from more random and unexpected places! It has been my “hard work” to personally test all of the services and products at RG Spa and Wellness this past year, and my skin is thanking me….and people are noticing!

Before this, I was always a Holiday Spa person- indulging in a facial once a year when I happened to be on a vacation and swearing I was going to keep it up once I got home. Having a regular esthetician to help me with my skin has truly been a game changer.

The Benefits of Having an Esthetician who Knows your Skin

1. Customized Care for Your Unique Needs

Every individual’s skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. A skilled skin care practitioner will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to tailor a facial treatment plan specifically for you. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the right products and techniques to address your skin’s specific needs, whether it’s hydration, acne control, anti-aging, or brightening.

2. Professional Expertise

A trained skin care practitioner possesses in-depth knowledge of the skin’s anatomy and physiology. They stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in skincare products and techniques and know their products. With their expertise, they can recommend the most suitable treatments, products, and routines to help you achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin.

3. Regular Exfoliation and Deep Cleansing

Facials involve exfoliation and deep cleansing, which are crucial for removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and preventing breakouts. Over time, this process can lead to a smoother, more even complexion. The regularity of facials ensures that your skin stays fresh and revitalized.

4. Stress Reduction and Relaxation

Beyond the physical benefits, facials offer a much-needed escape from the stresses of daily life. The soothing ambiance of a spa and the gentle touch of an experienced esthetician can provide relaxation and stress relief. Reducing stress can help prevent breakouts and minimize the effects of skin conditions exacerbated by stress, such as rosacea or eczema. The luxurious massage protocol during the 111 Skin facials at RG Spa and Wellness are the reason why the owners brought this line to Edmonton.

5. Improved Blood Circulation

Facial massages increase blood flow to the skin’s surface, promoting a healthy, natural glow. This improved circulation also aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, enhancing the skin’s overall health and vitality.

6. Early Detection of Skin Issues

Regular visits to your skin care practitioner allow for the early detection of potential skin issues, such as skin cancer or unusual moles. A trained professional can spot abnormalities and recommend appropriate action, potentially saving your life.

7. Consistency is Key

Achieving long-lasting results with skincare requires consistency. Regular facials, combined with a customized at-home skincare regimen recommended by your practitioner, can lead to noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.

8. Boosted Self-Confidence

When you look good, you feel good. Clear, radiant skin can boost your self-confidence, making you feel more comfortable in your own skin. The improved self-esteem that comes with healthy skin can have a positive impact on various aspects of your life, from personal relationships to career opportunities.

Investing in regular facials and establishing a relationship with a trusted skin care practitioner is not just a luxury; it’s a commitment to your health and well-being. These professionals have the knowledge and tools to help you achieve the skin you’ve always dreamed of, while offering relaxation and stress relief. Don’t wait any longer; prioritize your skin’s health and embrace the transformative benefits of regular facials and professional skincare guidance.

Your radiant, confident self is waiting to shine- book your customized iS Clinical or 111SKIN facial at RG Spa and Wellness today! You will love the best new luxury spa in downtown Edmonton! And parking is free!

Be Well, Heidi
