Newest seasonal wellness treatments in Hong Kong to pamper yourself with

Opening its doors in the final quarter of last year, Acme Wellness is the first hot and cold contrast therapy destination in Hong Kong. Each of their treatment rooms in the tranquil Duddell Street location houses a full-spectrum infrared sauna and a plunge tub, so instead of rolling around in the snow after a Scandinavian outdoors sauna, you can stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms right in the heart of Central. Acme Wellness also offers chromotherapy saunas which can manage pain, improve sleep, and elevate moods, as well as ice bath experiences that stimulate blood circulation and reduce inflammation.

For one day only on March 1, Acme Wellness is offering a NeuroVIZR light and sound experience along with their ice bath contrast therapy. The treatment promotes deep relaxation, guided breathwork, and red light therapy before an ice bath plunge – a two-hour programme priced at $1,188.

Fans of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) should check out the i-Wellness Therapy treatments at Chuan Spa in the Cordis, Hong Kong. The machine used comes with six specialised tools that each target a different health aspect, such as the far-infrared i-Moxibustion head which applies smokeless moxibustion to acupressure points to draw out excess moisture, the multi-knobbed magnetic frequency rod which improves blood circulation and muscle soreness, and the magnetic frequency massager which can be used like gua sha to dispel dampness. This combination of TCM and technology is an interesting and relaxing way to detox, improve cellular metabolism, and alleviate muscle fatigue – the repeated rolling motions of the machine didn’t feel like it was applied with as much pressure as traditional massages, but its effects penetrate deeper than expected.

Both the magnetic frequency therapy and i-Moxbustion therapy last 30 minutes and are priced at $880 for the first trial, but customers who try both treatments together for their first trial can enjoy a discounted price of $1,680.

The spa at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong has launched their new Exosome Revitalising Facial, a four-step treatment that uses active cica exosome in a serum and a face mask to activate and repair ageing skin cells. A nutrient delivery system from South Korea is paired with plasma technology to bring nutrients to the basal cells at the bottom of the epidermis – as opposed to topical application of skincare which doesn’t penetrate deeply into the skin. The result of this facial treatment includes reduced pigmentation, as well as providing anti-ageing, anti-oxidant, and firming benefits to the skin. The 60-minute package is priced at $2,800, but those who book by February 28 can enjoy it for $2,100.

The Han Therapy spa programme at The Peninsula Hong Kong adapts to the four seasons and the changing physical and mental health needs throughout the year. As winter draws towards its end, their spring offerings focus on rejuvenation and revitalising yang energy. The ‘Spring Cleanse’ treatment includes a ‘human reset’ acupressure session to regulate circulation and the flow of qi within the body; a 60-minute meridian massage for alleviating muscle tension; and a half-hour signature scalp massage. This 100-minute package is priced from $2,480.

There is also the ‘Yang Energy Boost’ package, which includes all the above as well as a nourishing ginger body scrub and wrap that promotes the dispelling of cold and dampness in the body and will leave you feeling soft and smooth. This 120-minute package is priced from $2,680. Both the springtime packages are available until April 20, and include a post-massage tea and dessert from the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant Spring Moon.

Since spring is the season to nurture natural hair growth after the weather-related stress of winter, the London-founded hair and scalp care clinic Svenson is presenting their science-backed hair spa treatments. You’ve seen similar soothing treatments on socials – the Onsen Aroma Relaxation Hair Spa is a cleansing and relaxing ritual that includes deep cleansing of the scalp, hair follicle stimulation, hair cuticle and cell repair, and more. The 90-minute treatment, priced at $1,388 for a trial, also comprises a waterfall-style hair spa and a herbal ball chest and shoulder massage.

Svenson also offers cutting-edge hair and scalp therapies combined into their Indiba + NMN Cellular Regeneration Treatment, using radio frequency to deliver the natural compound NMN into the scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles and reduce oxidative damage. This package can be enjoyed at a trial price of $1,888 for two sessions.

Paris-founded aestheticians EstheClinic has brought the Supra Facial exclusively to Hong Kong. Combining the trifecta of radiofrequency, vacuum, and electrostimulation in a single device, this facial is an ant-ageing technology that can deliver sculpted, lifted, and plumped skin. The equipment comes with two hand pieces for broader applications, or more focused targeting for areas of ageing, such as the nasolabial folds or the eye contour area. With a series of 40-minute treatments, the Supra Facial can boost collagen, smooth out wrinkles, firm the skin, and sculpt out contours – not only on the face but also for the neck and upper chest as well. Each session starts from $1,700, but the first trial for the face costs only $780.
