La Source Spa

- Anthia Chng

La Source Spa is a centrally located beauty and wellness sanctuary offering luxurious treatments in a private and luxe setting. From anti-ageing facials and therapeuti­c massages to hair services and eyebrow embroidery, this is a one-stop spot to get all your beauty needs sorted!

The treatment room is spacious with warm, muted accents, and I found myself feeling instantly calmer as the soothing spa scent (La Source uses its own aromathera­py blends) wafted through the air. I changed into a plush robe and comfy slippers and laid on the heated bed before my therapist Karen entered for my treatment of choice: the Meridian Bojin Facial Treatment ($298, 90 minutes).

This facial is suitable for most skin types, but especially beneficial for ageing concerns like wrinkles, dark circles and skin laxity. It incorporat­es traditiona­l Bojin massage techniques to contour the features, improve blood circulatio­n and stimulate lymphatic drainage for detox purposes. Karen worked her magic with her experience­d hands and La Source’s in-house skincare, which smells amazing thanks to the plant-based extracts. I was treated to a double-cleanse, followed by a gentle enzyme peel and steam. She then swiftly worked on extracting the gunk from the congested areas of my face. It’s nowhere near painless, but necessary for my acne-prone skin! Next, she used a Bojin tool and an essential oil blend, focusing on the tight points on my face and neck to release tension.

After a soothing mask and a rejuvenati­ng scalp massage, I sat up to check out my “new” complexion in the mirror. I was surprised that the effects were so immediate; my jawline appeared more pronounced and my face looked less puffy. I definitely looked and felt more refreshed, so this is one treatment I’m bookmarkin­g for my next pampering sesh!

For a limited time, try this treatment at a special price of $208!
