Bodhi Spa brings in ultra-results-driven, machine-based facials by Aromatherapy Associates.
Using a micro-current machine to deliver active ingredients to the skin, each treatment uses a bio-electric gel and specific skin boosters like the brightening Vitamin C, regenerating rose essential oils, toning Magnesium and deep-cleansing zinc. Though pain-free, the treatment sees immediate results including brighter skin, tighter pores and a completely refreshed look – a true embodiment of Bodhi Spa’s brand mantra of enlightenment in the mind, body and soul.

On the technical end, the Aster Leaf features Dolby Digital Plus virtual surround sound and Hasselblad-certified imaging alongside Vertu’s portfolio of services.
