Massage Therapy

We offer a full suite of massage therapy services in NJ including the classic Swedish massage and Therapeutic massage.  You can also experience one of our more unique massage therapy treatments like the Hot Stone Massage. This is an excellent give for any massage fanatic!

The Hot Stone Massage is heavenly.  This is a real treat for someone who has experienced the traditional Swedish massage before (or even for someone who has not).  Our therapists uses large, warm stones and place them on key energy points on your body. The heat encourages circulation and helps loosen stiff muscles.  Then the stones are used along the body to massage away tension.  These stones are round and smooth, not jagged.  They feel amazing.

Anyone who is particularly active in sports or fitness will likely appreciate our Sports Massage. The Sports massage offered at ABC Day Spa in Monmouth County emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons.  Luxurious no – but that doesn’t stop hundreds of men and women from flocking to ABC each month to receive the popular therapy.

Sports massage uses techniques similar to a Swedish massage but with the goal of breaking down knots in the muscles and increasing range of motion.   They are different in that a sports massage will focus in a particular area or injury in the body and the Swedish massage offers a general, relaxing treatment from head to toe.

We all know that part of aging means loss of collagen in our skin.  Losing collagen makes us look older because we lose volume and elasticity.  Our skin is made up mainly of collagen, which is a protein. In fact, more than 80% of our skin is made of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein found throughout our bodies that provides strength that our tissue and organs require while elastin provides the ability to stretch and recoil.

Facial fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are temporary ‘fixes’ to fill in areas of the face where collagen has been lost, resulting in a hollowed appearance and lines and wrinkles.  You can prevent or delay the need for such fillers by ensuring that your diet is packed with collagen enhancing foods.
It’s simply unbelievable. In our quest for science to produce us a magical weapon against aging, we failed to realize that the things that can help us the most can be found in our own kitchen. The top two are kale and collard greens.

Anti-Aging Miracle Foods!

Dark-green leafy vegetables such as kale and collard greens are another way to add collagen producing foods to your diet. They are high in vitamin C and lutein, a very powerful antioxidant, kale and collard greens help the body make collagen and use protein effectively, which can result in increased elasticity and moisture control for the skin and connective tissue. Examples of other dark-green leafy vegetables that are helpful in helping collagen production are spinach, arugula, chicory, mustard greens and Swiss chard. While not typically considered a dark-green leafy vegetable, asparagus is also helpful in building collagen. Your body requires about 10 mg of dark-green leafy vegetables each day to increase collagen production, which equates to about 4 oz. of collard greens or 2 oz. of kale.

I’ll eat to that!

About Valentina Chistova

Valentina Chistova is a world-renowned aesthetician and beauty expert whose experience encompasses all facets of skin care and body treatments. Internationally trained, educated and certified, Valentina has devoted more than twenty years to her profession

.

Valentina is a member of the National Cosmetology Association and a CIDESCO candidate (Comite International Desthetique et de Cosmetologie Desthetique), which is the highest degree of beauty therapy certification available in the United States and worldwide. Most recently, Valentina completed a rigorous training program with the Spanish organization Wontersaf, one of the world’s leading centers for trichology, capillary diagnostics and scalp and hair treatment to combat hair loss and other hair dysfunctions. Valentina also holds a Registered Nursing Degree from Kharkov State University and Cosmetology degrees from the Kharkov Medical Institute in the Ukraine and the Capri Institute of Cosmetology in New Jersey.

Valentina is the owner and director of skin care for ABC Day Spa in Freehold NJ.

NJ day spa owners are optimistic about a successful year in 2011.  The economic down turn had been difficult for many NJ spas, but after a few years of operating in the red, many NJ spa owners are optimistic for 2011.

Valentina Chistova owns and operates two successful Monmouth County day spas, Aquamedica Spa in Long Branch and ABC Day Spa in Freehold.  While many spas in NJ were downsizing or closing their doors entirely, Chistova managed to push through the difficult years and even open a second spa in 2010.   According to Chistova, today’s most successful spa owners will have to be smart about how they position their spas in 2011.

Chistova says, “Consumers still want to go to the spa, but they aren’t going as frequently.  The biggest reason is price.”  When times were good and spas were booming, some NJ day spas were raising their prices year after year and consumers were paying the increases.  When times got tough, consumers had to re-evaluate how they spent $100 dollars.  Chistova says today’s consumer is looking for ways to get the most out of every dollar.

Chistova’s two spas operate under a philosophy she likes to describe as ‘Luxury for Less’.  Consumers can get the same luxurious day spa treatments at either spa, for less money than most area spas are charging.  “Less money doesn’t mean less service,” explains Chistova.  “We offer 2 full day spa settings, locker rooms, amenities, showers and more.  The only things we have less of are high prices.”  The concept dates back hundreds if not thousands of years ago to Russia where Chistova is from.  “In Russia, spa is considered a way of life, a necessity for health and well being.  Spa prices in Russia reflect this sentiment.”  Chistova explains that the concept of the day spa in the US is almost entirely luxury-based. “It is luxurious to have a nice massage, but lets not forget all of the important health benefits,” says Chistova.  “If we want consumers to be able to take advantage of such healthy resources, we have to make it affordable.”  And that is just what she has done at both spas.

In addition to daily and weekly specials that offer up to 40% off already lower menu prices, Chistova offers spa memberships and pre-paid spa cards that make going to the spa on a regular basis much more affordable. For this holiday, Chistova encourages consumers to buy spa gift cards as gifts for anyone on their list.  Spa gift cards to both spas, Aquamedica and ABC Day Spa never expire.  Plus, for the past few weeks she has been offering steep discounts on gift certificate purchases.

Chistova’s advice to spa owners in 2011 is to make their business more accessible by more people more often.   “The way to do this is by offering prices that are more realistic for consumers,” she adds.

Aquamedica Day Spa is located on the beaches of Long Branch, NJ at the Pier Village lifestyle center.  ABC Day Spa is within the renowned CentraState Wellness Center in Freehold and is open to the public.  Both spas are under the directorship of Valentina Chistova, an internationally trained skin and beauty expert.  For a complete list of services and offerings, visit http://www.aquamedicaspa.com or http://abcdayspa.com .

A: Hello, this is Valentina Chistova - Skin Care Expert from NJ. To be honest with you there is no straight answer to this question because you need to understand the origin of this problem. And from my 28 years in the skincare industry my answer will not be helpful to some of you.

Question: What are some basic hand and foot care tips you would recommend?

Answer: If the eyes are the window to the soul, then the hands are the keepers of time.  Hands are generally prone to age much faster than other parts of the body.  They are also the first to express signs of everyday wear and tear, in part, because of the relentless exposure to soaps, detergents,, cold, heat, wind and water.  In order to minimize, these harsh effects, it’s crucial to keep replenishing the skin’s surface with moisture and nutrients, both on the inside and outside..  Because we rely so heavily on the use of our palms, fingers and nails during the course of the day, the optimal time for a hand treat is at night.

While it is true, that our feet are not as subjected to the elements the same way that our hands are, since shoes and socks protect them most of the time, feet are subjected to different kinds of abuse; hard pavements, high heels, excessive body weight and poor circulation.  Although a few treatments can rival the effects of foot shiatsu, a warm soak in mineral-rich salts will certainly help to dissolve the aches and restore the senses.

    * Wear rubber gloves when washing the dishes or when handling harsh chemicals
    * To avoid rashes, use gloves lined with natural fibers as opposed to those with synthetic liners.
    * Choose mild ingredients (such as milk or cream) for you hand cleaners.
    * Use gloves when you peel citrus fruit. 
    * Before you go out in the cold, moisturize and put gloves on immediately afterwards for an instant nourishing treatment. 
    * Clean you rings frequently by soaking them in a solution of white vinegar and distilled water. 
    * Use a hand mask once a week. 
    * For a deep moisturizing, apply a rich moisturizer, wrap hands in plastic wrap and leave on for 30 minutes; or put cotton gloves on over moisturizer before going to  bed. 
    * Soak feet for 20 minutes in a warm footbath before exfoliating.  Add a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil for stimulation. 
    * Wear cotton sock that keep feet nice and fresh as opposed to nylon which traps heat and moisture.

    * Take long walks barefoot on a sandy beach.  Sand is a natural exfoliator and its friction is ideal massage. 
    * Avoid shoes that are too tight.
