Bali is renowned as the Island of the Gods thanks to its thousands of temples, as well as the visible signs of religious practice taking place every day. It is also finding its place on the global stage for spas and wellness centers, with services ranging from 15-minute massages by the side of the street to glorious, world-class retreats offering luxurious, royal pampering.
With Bali's therapists in high demand globally and the rise of spiritual, wellness and medical tourism, where tourists look for intensive treatments and healing while relaxing on vacation, it is hardly surprising to find Vietura, the artisan of anti-aging, at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort.
Vietura ' which means natural life ' takes a holistic approach to beauty, combining science and nature to treat the whole person, from the inside out. With its focus on Art de Vivre wellness, where personalized beauty and wellness retreats, or regimes, are designed to naturally revive, rejuvenate and reveal your inner beauty, Vietura offers non-invasive, non-surgical facial, body and skin treatments, nutritional counseling and life coaching.
Vietura treatments are protocol based, meaning they integrate wellness and beauty, where aesthetics is a sum part of overall wellness.
The core competencies are lifestyle detoxification, to promote natural rejuvenation and help the body maintain its youth and vigor; integrative care, which combines alternative and complementary treatments for a broad approach to healing; and aesthetics to enhance the 'feel well, look good' concept through a healthy, youthful and beautiful appearance.
With this pedigree, the latest treatment launched by Vietura at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort is the Ultra Slimming Tight treatment. While obviously in demand to remove those stubborn centimeters from troublesome areas, there is actually a lot more going on.
The Ultraslim treatment uses infrared technology and radio frequency to painlessly treat cellulite, melt away fat, even out skin tone and tighten the skin. The procedure is simple ' the patient just lies on a comfortable treatment bed, the therapist liberally spreads cream over the area to be treated and runs a smooth, flat instrument over your skin. It is similar to having an ultrasound, but you will feel some warmth and a slight pinching as the instrument crosses your skin. The radio waves penetrate into the deep-seated fat cells, gently destroying them so they can be removed naturally through your lymphatic drainage system.
This non-invasive treatment takes about 30 minutes and has no down time afterwards, does not affect the surrounding areas and has no side effects. It is a painless way to take advantage of body contouring for those stubborn areas, like love handles, upper arms, thighs and tummies. Results are measured in centimeters rather than kilograms and while immediate results can be measured, visible results can take around four to five treatments.
Whatever your beauty needs, Vietura will be able to design a specific treatment protocol for you and offers a range of delightfully pampering staycation packages with Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort. Take control and visit Vietura to talk to one of the counselors to design a wellness package that boosts your mood and health and makes you look good from the inside out.
