Luxe Italian body treatment pops up at posh San Antonio resort
An Italian beauty treatment heralded by the editors of Cosmopolitan and Elle is making its way to San Antonio. Endospheres will stage a two-month residency at the Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort’s Loma de Vida spa, September 1-November 30.
The cult treatment uses a roller of 55 silicone spheres that generate what the brand calls Compressive Microvibration, low-frequency pressure waves meant to stimulate circulation, aid lymphatic drainage, and reduce fluid retention.
The brand says the treatments leave the body more sculpted and toned, with firmer, more supple skin (and no downtime). Dua Lipa, Kylie Jenner, and Salma Hayek are among the A-list celebs who have touted the benefits of lymphatic drainage before red carpet events.
Online reviewers say the experience is akin to a deep-tissue massage with only mild, temporary redness. Many agreed that several sessions were ideal for optimal results, although that will require a commitment.
Loma de Vida's packages start at a six-session facial treatment for $1,350 and go up to $4,265 for a 12-session face and body experience. Individual sessions are priced from $250-$395. That places the package's treatments in line with more invasive treatments like CoolSculpting, which can create numbness or bruising.
Bookings will be available through Loma de Vida’s website closer to the residency start date. As with all treatments, Endospheres sessions include access to the spa’s several relaxation areas, including a pool, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms.
