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.

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. Our most thorough hydration treatment, a powerful professional hyaluronic acid formula to ensure results. This facial leaves the skin completely quenched and plumped. The 111SKIN signature luxury massage protocol is heavenly.

For body treatments, we recommend the RG Spa Sugar Glow, a quick 45 minute treatment that includes a Yon-Ka sugar scrub exfoliation, followed by a rinsing shower and a hydrating massage. For a little more luxury, the 90 minute 111SKIN Original Dramatic Healing Treatment is a slice of hydration heaven. Restore. Fortify. Heal. Fragile, sensitive, and damaged skin will see real results with our healing protocol, the ultimate in luxury. We know our climate is dry and our winters are drier. Give your body the pampering it needs. The protocol involves a dry scrub therefore no shower is involved in this treatment.

Visit us at RG Spa and Wellness, downtown Edmonton’s best new luxury spa, to explore our winter skincare offerings and book an appointment to experience the ultimate in luxury and hydration. Your skin will thank you!

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!

Amazing Results with SkinPen Microneedling

Are you ready to embark on a journey to stunning, radiant skin? Well, get ready to dive into the world of SkinPen Microneedling – the secret weapon for achieving that youthful, glowing complexion you’ve always dreamed of. This FDA approved treatment is now available at RG Spa and Wellness, Edmonton’s new downtown luxury spa.

The Scoop on SkinPen Microneedling

First things first, what’s this whole SkinPen Microneedling thing all about? Imagine a magic wand that transforms your skin, giving it a flawless, airbrushed finish. It’s a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production, leaving you with smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. Nothing is injected into your skin. Your natural skin health is simply stimulated.

Many people tell us they have already tried Microneedling, but there are different kinds. Most local spas in Edmonton, Alberta use the devices that stamp your skin, section by section. On average, these treatments deliver 25,000 treatment holes into the skin. Our SkinPen device is very different and glides over the skin, resulting in over 3,000,000 treatment holes to stimulate the healing response! That is a huge difference.

Why It’s Not Just for Celebs

You might think that this magical skin treatment is only for the Hollywood rich and famous, but guess what? It’s totally accessible to the everyday beauty enthusiast, even in Edmonton, Alberta! SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, making it perfect for anyone looking to up their skincare game. Fine lines and wrinkles? Acne scars? Dull skin? Read on….

Benefits Galore!

Now, let’s talk about the goodies that come with SkinPen Microneedling:

Bye-Bye, Wrinkles: Worried about those fine lines creeping in? SkinPen can help fade them away. Honestly. I have tried it. I have never had so many compliments on my skin. Even from my car guy.
Smoother Texture: Say adios to uneven skin texture and acne scars. SkinPen can work its magic here too! Our manager is even using it on her c-section scar!
Fresher Complexion: If dull skin is your nemesis, SkinPen Microneedling can help your skin radiate with renewed vibrancy.
Tighten Up: Loose skin can be a thing of the past. SkinPen can help tighten and firm up your face and neck. Wattle be gone!

How it Works, in 3 steps, directly from SkinPen.com:

“Inflammation SkinPen’s microneedles pierce the skin, triggering your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.
Proliferation The micro-wounds created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Remodeling The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels which are comprised of rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin youthfulness.”

And SkinPen is the first Microneedling device approved by the FDA.

The Procedure – What can I expect?

“But wait,” you might ask, “Does it hurt?” Fear not, beauty adventurers! SkinPen Microneedling is a breeze. You’ll feel pressure, a bit of tingling and maybe some mild discomfort, but nothing too dramatic. Plus, we apply a numbing cream to make sure you’re as comfortable as can be.

The procedure usually takes around 45-60 minutes. First, the numbing cream as you lie cozily on our heated tables. Next, the actual procedure feels like a pen drawing on your face in small patches.

Afterward, you will experience redness and mild peeling – like a mini skin makeover! But don’t worry; this is just your skin doing its thing, rejuvenating itself. Personally, I get patchy and red enough that I don’t book anything that evening. By the next morning, the redness and patchiness is gone for me.

The Post-Procedure Glow Up

After your SkinPen Microneedling adventure, it’s essential to show your skin some love. We send you home with two products to use for the first 24 hours and with specific instructions to ensure that your response is optimal. This includes using a fresh pillowcase that night, and avoiding sun, steam and sweating for the first 24 hours. Hydration is your BFF, so drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer. And don’t forget the sunscreen! Your fresh, new skin is extra sensitive to the sun, so keep it protected.

SkinPen Microneedling is your passport to radiant, youthful skin without the drama. It’s the young and fun way to level up your skincare game, without the drama of more invasive procedures. Personally, SkinPen has caused the most dramatic and noticeable changes in my skin since starting regular services at RG Spa and Wellness. I would highly encourage you to try it for yourself. The treatments are recommended in a package of three sessions, booked one month apart. Contact us at RG Spa and Wellness, downtown Edmonton’s best new luxury spa, for more details or to book your consultation.

Disclaimer: Always consult with a licensed skincare professional to determine if SkinPen Microneedling is right for you.
