Win a HydroCapsule Body Treatment at Vilas Medspa

A Sanskrit word derived from two words, ayur, meaning “life,” and veda, meaning “knowledge,” ayurveda is the science of life, encompassing our entire life, body, mind and spirit. It is the combination of ancient Ayurvedic therapies with modern medical treatments that brings the unique new Vilas Medspa to Cumming’s Vickery Village.

Pradeep Sinha, MD, founder of Vilas and board-certified expert in plastic surgery, laser and non-surgical aesthetic procedures, created an extensive menu of non-invasive facial and body treatments that focus on anti-aging body enhancement, wellness and relaxation designed to bring clients a more youthful appearance, while achieving harmony and balance of mind, body and spirit. Traditional spa experiences like facials, massage therapy and body treatments are combined with nonsurgical medical procedures like Botox and injectable fillers, cosmetic laser treatment and FotoFacials. Connecting the body and the mind are Vilas’ wellness procedures, including detoxification programs, metabolic testing, nutritional counseling and nutritional supplements.

Begin a visit with the Visia Skin Analysis for a skin imaging measure of your skin condition, including subsurface damage from the sun, skin pigmentation and wrinkles. From there, a customized skin care program is prescribed and can be followed through numerous Vilas treatments. Before a relaxing massage or body treatment, visit the HydroCapsule for a combination Vichy shower, steam heat, oxygen and light therapy treatment.

Vilas Medspa, located at 5745 Clarion St., is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 770-887-1901 or visit www.vilasmedspa.com.

The Prize:

One lucky winner will receive a HydroCapsule body treatment from Vilas Medspa. The 30-minute treatment is unique in that spa-goers climb into a space-age-looking capsule, where they receive a just-stronger-than-a-mist full body Vichy shower. While relaxing to the warm spray of water flowing over them, color-changing light therapy stimulate chakras on the body. After the body is fully relaxed, a ­technician applies a light scrub to soften skin and remove dead skin cells, and then the capsule is closed again for a soothing rinse — much more relaxing than most traditional Vichy spray downs after a treatment! To enter to win, fill out the form below; contest begins April 24 and ends May 31. One entry per household, please.
