Our Services 

Our 9,700 square-foot full-service spa features more than just facials and massages. It also includes nail and hair salons, a makeup counter, a brow room and a “Relaxation Room” equipped with an infrared sauna and hydrotherapy shower. 

Bio-Lift Facial

One of our most requested facials, this is a Rescue Spa staple. It includes preventative treatments, such as non-invasive electric microcurrents that deliver immediate results. The microcurrents target the muscles in the face to lift, sculpt and firm. 

Ionixlight Facial

Your full spectrum treatment! This facial uses innovative technology that combines the following treatments for impeccable results: Microcurrents, Oxygen Therapy, Biosonix Ultrasound, Radio Frequency (skin tightening and collagen production) and an LED panel with Ionized Oxygen technology – also known as vitamin infusion therapy. The combination of modalities are used to dramatically reduce lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and post-acne scars. Ionixlight also tightens, hydrates, brightens and firms skin. 

Swedish, Deep Tissue or Hot Stone Massages

Whether you are looking for pure relaxation or targeted relief, our customized massages are the perfect addition to your spa day. Our most popular Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes with a mix of firm and gentle pressure; consider this eight hours of sleep in massage form! Whereas our Deep Tissue massages target the deepest layer of fatigued, tight muscles to provide relief. For those looking to decrease stress, tension and stiffness a Hot Stone massage will radiate warmth and increase blood circulation throughout the body.
