Most of us already know that a gift certificate for a massage at a NJ day spa is one of the most popular gifts for any occasion.  Massage gifts are very versatile, perfect for men, women, teens, athletes, couples and more!  There are so many massages to choose from including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Hot Rock…the list goes on and on.

So how do you know which massage gift is perfect for the person on your list?

Types of Massages at ABC Day Spa in NJ

At our Monmouth County day spa, we offer a diverse selection of massage therapies.  The most commonly requested massage and best known is the Swedish massage.  This is a therapy that focuses on relaxation by using a light to medium touch to circulate blood throughout the body, reduce tension and relieve stressed muscles.

A Swedish massage can be a great gift for anyone, but some men and women prefer something a little more intense, something with a stronger touch.  And that’s where our Deep Tissue (therapeutic) massage becomes the next best choice.  A deep tissue massage uses a medium to heavy touch to work through knotted muscles that have become stiff and painful due to tension, stress, and sometimes injury.  A deep tissue massage by one of our skilled massage therapists will literally melt away pressure, stress and tension that is building up inside the body and leave you feeling care-free and completely relaxed.

If you’re looking for something a little more exotic, the Hot Rock massage fits this bill nicely.  This is a widely popular massage at our NJ day spa that incorporates a Swedish-like touch using warm basalt stones that are placed on key energy points throughout the body.  The warmth from the stone encourages circulation and then each stone is used to massage the body from head to toe.  It’s an enlightening experience!Still, there are so many more to choose from!  But don’t get overwhelmed.  If you purchase a gift certificate for a Swedish massage for someone and they prefer a Deep Tissue, they can still use their gift certificate and pay for the difference.

We all know that massage therapy feels wonderful!  But did you know that massage therapy is also wonderful for us?

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Regular massage therapy has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase blood circulation and lymph flow, relax muscles, improve range of motion, and increase endorphins (enhancing medical treatment).

So, while you may think of massage therapy as pampering, it is also very necessary for maintaining optimal health and wellness.

Question: My husband is looking for relief from his regular shaving routing.  He shaves in the morning and it’s back again at night.  Could he wax his facial hair so he doesn’t have to shave so much?

 Valentina:  I never recommend for men to wax their facial hair.  First, the hair on men’s faces is much more coarse and thick than body hair.  This makes it more difficult to remove.  Second, the skin on the face is sensitive.  These two combinations can make for some disastrous results if a man waxes his face.

I can sympathize with your husband not wanting to have to shave so often.  My preferred method of hair removal for a man’s face is laser.  Although it is costly, results are excellent. 

 Laser hair removal uses laser light to pass a light beam through the skin. The laser targets dark pigment, called melanin, in hair. When the light beam hits the hair follicle it is destroyed instantly from the intense heat.  Patients usually report a slight stinging sensation when the laser is activated.

 In most cases, laser hair removal slows hair regrowth, which could be excellent for your husband.  Several treatments can nearly remove all of the hair for a very long period of time.
