The is selective in her hiring process, and has built a team of wellness and beauty professionals that work together and with customers like family. Gail looks for people those skilled in the latest technologies and committed to offering personalized service.

Among the latest offerings is ultrasound body cavitation, a non-invasive contouring treatment that reduces fat in the body that can be used as an alternative to invasive liposuction for face, neck, arms, legs, abdominals and buttocks.

Clients start with consultation and are evaluated for any health issues. An ultrasonic handpiece is used on problem areas to break apart fat deposits in the body. Gail says most people come in twice a week and require six to 10 treatments. The technician may also use micro-needling (pricking the skin with tiny, sterilized needles, which encourages the body to make more collagen and elastin to give the skin a younger appearance) in addition to the ultrasound. “It’s not a quick fix, but a lifelong change,” she says. “You also have to eat responsibly for lasting results.”

Permanent makeup, microblading and lash tinting are also available at The Spa At Willow Pond. Permanent makeup is applied with a tattoo machine and can be used on eyebrows, lips and eyelids. “As we age, our eyes aren’t as flamboyant as they once were. Permanent makeup can really make your eyes pop and bring out the natural eye color,” Gail says. Her ethicians are trained in the latest procedures to shade eyebrows so they look more realistic.

Microblading is another cosmetic procedure that inserts pigment under the skin, using a needle to draw fine hair strokes. The procedure provides well-defined, natural-looking eyebrows. Unlike permanent makeup, pigment applied through microblading fades from one to two years after application.

Gail and her team strive to offer massages, wraps and detoxification services not found everywhere. Foot scrubs can be added on to body massage services. They coordinate services with holidays and the seasons. For St. Patrick’s Day, a lime green scrub was offered. For summer, they combine lemon and other citrus scents into the spa services. Large suites with whirlpools and saunas are available for couples massages.

It’s difficult to avoid all of the toxins absorbed from our air, water, land and food. Because of this, Gail has seen more demand for cleansing service such as foot detox, in which the feet are soaked in ionized water to remove toxins through the pores. The spa also has a variety of wraps with detoxifying botanicals, lymphatic drainage massage and dry brushing, in which a soft-bristle brush is gently stroked over areas of the body to stimulate and drain the lymphatic system.

The Alpha Capsule, first used in Sweden, is a multifaceted therapy system that Gail and her team use with most treatments. It uses ionized air and dry infrared heat to help cleanse the skin, increase circulation, detoxify, ease muscle tension and rejuvenate the body.
