Best Anti-Aging Treatment

Santé Spa
508, 24 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB

The Santé Spa has locations in Calgary and Victoria. I checked out the recently renovated Calgary spot to try its anti-aging facial – an experience I won’t soon forget. From the moment you enter, you get a sense that you matter. There’s a balanced treatment plan that offers both clinical and aesthetic approaches to your services, and your provider talks you through every step. “People respect our commitment to excellence,” says marketing director Heather Greene. “Customization is a trademark of the spa, and we work with clients to find the best programs for them.” My facial is 90 minutes of pure bliss. It starts with a cleansing, followed by several treatments that are deftly applied by skilled hands, including an alpha and beta hydroxy peel for deep exfoliation and an anti-free radical mask to soothe stressed skin. My skin is literally glowing and so evenly toned at the end of the treatment, I really do feel younger.

Service: Santé Signature Anti-Aging Facial, $190
Duration: 90 minutes
