Listen, Hongkongers need a break. We live in one of the world’s most densely populated, busiest, and most expensive cities, in an economy largely driven by fast-paced industries such as finance, banking, trade, and logistics. We are also notorious for our long working hours, and pulling overtime is largely considered the norm. So yes, it tracks that Hongkongers need the time and space to properly unwind every now and then. Thank god our city is also home to plenty of good spas and wellness facilities – here are some of the newest wellness treatments in town for this season.

Time-limited pampering

  • Health and beauty
  • Massage and reflexology

The Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong presents a digital detox retreat designed to relieve the strains that a digital lifestyle can have on the body and mind. The 120-minute treatment begins with a footbath, reflexology, and scrub, followed by a massage combining traditional Chinese medicine techniques and Azorean aromatherapy oils to calm the nervous system and reduce stress.

Since electronic screens emit harmful blue light, a facial sheet mask and serum will be applied to heal the light’s impact on the face by promoting cellular regeneration. Finally, the treatment wraps up with a head massage to induce a deep state of relaxation. If you’re anything like us and are constantly being shamed by your weekly screen time alert, this retreat will be perfect for you. The Ignae Digital Detox Retreat costs $3,600 from Mondays to Thursdays, rising to $3,800 from Fridays to Sundays.

Seasonal changes in the weather can mess with your skin, and the increased humidity from the recent wet weather can cause a spike in skin irritation and breakouts. This is why French beauty clinic EstheClinic is presenting an intense acne-busting programme for skin that is less than happy. EstheIPL’s pulses of light work to nix spots, and also stimulate collagen production, minimise pores, and erase acne scars, while the non-thermal blue and red lights of the LED treatment are able to kill acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores.

EstheClinic’s treatment uses both IPL and LED in a harmonious programme that targets different layers of the skin. Come out of the clinic with skin that’s de-stressed and boasts a higher cell metabolism rate. Prices start from $2,300 for a 75-minute session, but there is also a two-month pass available for $9,800.
