Rosewood Hong Kong’s wellness retreat Asaya has recently partnered with Parisian beauty brand Guerlain to bring new restorative treatments to town, including two exclusive experiences only available at Asaya. The Spirit of Calligraphy (from $3,980) is a two-hour face and body massage that includes delicate brushes to heighten the body’s connection with the mind, while the Silky Glow facial treatment (from $3,280) combines massage techniques using hot and cold jade stones and the gentle, skin-soothing properties of silk. Check out their other facials, massages, and wellness packages while you’re there.

The Island Shangri-La’s luxurious house spa has collaborated with Swiss skincare brand Margy’s Monte Carlo to launch four exclusive facial treatments focusing on natural ingredients and results-driven science. There’s the Beyond Bright Facial (from $2,480) for restoring elasticity and brightness through deep oxygenation; and the Advanced Luminance Facial (from $3,080) which offers long-lasting hydration, fine line reduction, and reducing skin texture with advanced stem cell technology.

Dehydrated skin will benefit from the Collagen Focused Facial (from $3,780), which hydrates, balances, minimises pores, and contours with a collagen fiber mask; and finally the Innovative Power Facial (from $4,480), a two-hour treatment using apple stem cells, collagen, hyaluronate, and moringa to enhance skin elasticity and promote cell regeneration. If you want to walk out the spa feeling like a new person, this is probably your best bet.

We’ve all gotten pretty good at wearing sunscreen religiously by now, but one part of our bodies people tend to forget to protect is our heads – which, ironically, sustains unrelenting sun damage when we’re out. This summer, London-based hair and scalp care brand Svenson unveils two cooling therapies to beat the summer heat and its hair damage. A hand-held cryotherapy device TargetCool™ is used to rapidly cool the scalp, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and increase oxygen flow. This is then paired with a choice of two scalp treatments. The Optimum Cooling Oxygen Rejuvenate (from a trial price of $899) cleanses and calms the scalp, stimulates hair follicles, and nourishes damaged hair cuticles. 

Otherwise, the Cooling Oxygen Smooths & Calms (from a trial price of $728) is perfect for heat- and acne-irritated scalps that have been out in the sun too long. The TargetCool™ cooling mode numbs the area to combat discomfort while the treatment eliminates sebum, dandruff, and dirt while delivering anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. These two treatments join Svenson’s extensive menu of hair treatments and are available at five locations.

Opening its doors in the final quarter of 2024, 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.
