1. Four Seasons Hong Kong Spa
Treatment: Contouring detox experience at the Four Seasons Hong Kong Spa
The experience: The treatment began with a brisk salt scrub to boost circulation, followed by a quick shower. The therapist then applied a translucent green, spirulina-algae gel all over my body and wrapped my limbs and torso with individual rolls of bandages soaked in water—making me feel like a drenched mummy. Next, I returned to the massage bed and was wrapped, burrito-style, in a Biosli thermal blanket to heat up and sweat out any toxins. The final step, after removing all the bandages and another shower, was a firm yet relaxing lymphatic massage to eliminate any remaining toxins.
Verdict: Although being slathered in jelly, wrapped like a mummy and heated up like a burrito may sound like torture to some, this treatment was exactly what I needed to debloat my body and get rid of water retention—fast. For anyone who's a frequent flyer, eater (or both), it's one of the quickest ways to get rid of the evidence.
Price: HK$4,220 from Monday to Thursday, HK$4,700 from Friday to Sunday and public holidays for the 150-minute treatment
