When AC Magazine dubs a space “Rescue Spa a haven of beauty, wellness & exceptional shopping,” as they did in their recent feature on Rescue Spa it’s more than simply praise, it’s a portrait of a place that redefines luxury self-care. That place is Rescue Spa, the cult-favorite sanctuary founded by renowned esthetician Danuta Mieloch, and it’s capturing the attention of skincare devotees and design lovers alike.
Founded in Philadelphia in 2004 and expanded to New York City in 2017, Rescue Spa isn’t just a spa; it is a philosophy of living well, thoughtfully. At the heart of its mission is transformative skincare, paired with holistic wellness and a boutique experience that rivals the city’s finest concept stores.
Walk into either location—the airy, elegant flagship on Rittenhouse Square or the bustling Flatiron escape—and you’ll be greeted not just by glowing skin and serene interiors, but by a retail curation that feels deeply personal. Think hard-to-find international brands, refined essentials, and accessories that feel more couture than commercial. “It felt only natural to curate a selection of accessories that support and elevate that ritual,” says Mieloch. “These are functional, beautiful companions to daily life because wellness doesn’t end with a serum or a facial.”
Skin First, Always
Rescue Spa is perhaps best known for its award-winning facials, and the brand’s results-driven ethos is crystallized in Danucera – Mieloch’s own clean beauty line. Grounded in 30 years of professional skincare experience, the line pairs powerful, skin-compatible ingredients with an aesthetic that’s both modern and minimalist.
Two hero products lead the glow-getting pack: the Cerabalm, a multi-tasking cleansing and nourishing balm, and the D7 Serum, a potent treatment that’s become a go-to for clients and skincare insiders alike. As seen in AC Magazine, it’s no coincidence that a radiant complexion was credited to these two essentials.
Retail, Reimagined
What sets Rescue Spa apart isn’t just what it offers, but how. Mieloch, described as a “passionate curator with a global eye,” has built the boutique with as much intention as the treatment menu. From LELET NY’s sculptural hair accessories to Naghedi’s woven bags, Caddis readers, and cult jewelry from Jenny Bird, each item is chosen to elevate everyday rituals.
It’s a space that encourages exploration. In fact, many New York passersby stumble upon the spa thinking it’s a high-end concept store, proof of just how fluidly Rescue blends beauty, wellness, and design.
A Whole-Body Philosophy
Beyond facials, Rescue Spa offers full-service treatments for hair, nails, brows, and body, all under one roof. High-tech meets hands on experience, and every offering reflects Mieloch’s unwavering belief that health and self-care are paramount.
As she beautifully puts it: “For the first half of your life, you get the skin you were born with. For the second, you get the skin you deserve.”
At Rescue Spa, that second chapter starts now.
