Top 5 Spa Trends In Canada

We’re always keeping an eye out on the latest spa trends, but this time- we’re heading North!

We know that in the beauty industry, trends are always evolving and it’s imperative that we stay up to date to offer the most effective services. In Canada during these turbulent years, we have seen a significant shift in the industry. We used to associate spas with enhancing physical beauty, and now, there’s an emphasis on overall wellness to understand the importance of beauty starting from within.

So what are the latest spa trends in Canada?

Non-invasive body treatments are one of the fastest-growing sectors in the spa industry and is projected to increase by billions of dollars by 2023. With summer also in full effect, these types of treatments will be in high demand. What’s important to note is that with the right treatments, your clients will go from making this a seasonal necessity to making these treatments part of their lifestyle.

The icoone devices are the hottest topic of 2022 that are now available in Canada. This technology offers a customized combination of different body programs for lymphatic drainage, body contouring, cellulite, skin tightening, and body rejuvenation. In as little as 20 minutes, the icoone devices perform a 100% natural, non-invasive mechanical stimulation with a symmetrical two-hand technology to deliver three deep simultaneous actions; draining, remodelling, and firming. The icoone devices are not only comfortable for the operator, but they ensure optimal benefits for all genders and people of all ages- even our soon-to-be moms!

Here is what we could expect:

LED Light Therapy (or light-emitting diode therapy) embodies a similar approach to health and wellness to enhance our beauty from the inside out and is commonly used by esthy’s and even medical professionals. LED light therapy uses different wavelengths of light to treat and regenerate the skin, depending on skincare concerns by promoting cell proliferation and cell migration. Specifically, the award-winning Celluma LED Light Therapy devices are clinically proven, Health Canada approved, and FDA cleared LED devices to treat acne, promote anti-aging, and reduce inflammation and pain. What’s great about these devices is that they are fully flexible, portable, and can treat the whole body with just one device. In addition to that, they can be incorporated into your treatments as a stand-alone treatment or as an add-on to microdermabrasion, chemical or herbal peels, microneedling, massages, and many more. If you’re as obsessed as we are, you can even offer these devices as retail products.

Exfoliation is a key component in skincare and with chemical or herbal peels.. we get to dig a little deeper. How do we know which peel is right for our business? Customizable and effective peels are what to look for since we know that one size does not fit all!

 

The Alex Herbs2Peel is a natural and safe alternative to microdermabrasion and microneedling that is customizable for every skin type. This herbal peel is effective during any season, with no downtime, and can even be offered as a series of treatments! It uses a unique skin regeneration method that will remove the uppermost layer of the skin and utilizes only pure, natural plant ingredients. This peeling method is very safe and the active ingredients remain active in the treated skin for up to 48 hours. In contrast to other popular peeling methods, the herbs2peel is completely free of any chemical or synthetic ingredients and will not cause any stinging or adverse reaction.

As the spa industry continues to shift toward “wellness,” we find that gua sha has made its mark as a non-invasive way to improve elasticity, improve lymphatic function and increase circulation. The traditional Chinese healing method has been around for thousands of years but has become one of the hottest trends to implement in our treatments and also as an at-home tool to keep our skin looking young and supple. If you’re looking for ways to implement gua sha- start with a flat piece of jade stone or rose quartz!
