Outside the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, California, Dtox Day Spa stands out against the subdued bakeries and shops in Atwater Village. This modern oasis is eye-catching from the sidewalk with its large glass windows and welcoming earthy-tones. Dtox Day Spa is a needed escape for California locals with its minimalist vibe and Asian flare. Offering both esthetics and massage treatments for men, women and couples, Dtox Spa is equipped with all the amenities of a resort spa in a more quaint and private environment. Featured on The Ellen Show, this holistic haven is as results-oriented as it is wellness-focused.
SIGNATURE TREATMENT
Upon our arrival to Dtox Day Spa, the spa’s Lead Esthetician and Esthetics Manager, Jannette Martinez, welcomed us with a tour of the women’s facilities, which include a steam room and sauna, as well as a spacious lounge area. A locker with a plush robe and slippers is provided upon arrival.
The treatment performed was the Microdermabrasion Facial using Eminence Organic Skin Care (50 minutes, $165). The treatment is designed to “remove dead skin with ultra-fine crystals to decrease the appearance of hyperpigmentation and sun damage.” It also “helps diminish fine lines, wrinkles and shallow acne scars for a smoother appearance.” This treatment covers the entire face and neck, with the option for a décolleté add on for $30 additional.
Jannette begins the treatment by cleansing the skin with a pulsating cleansing brush head. Next, she applies a gentle enzyme exfoliant to prep the skin for the microdermabrasion and removes it with a warm towel. Dtox Day Spa uses a crystal microdermabrasion, as they find it gentle enough for all clients. Once the microdermabrasion is complete, Jannette custom mixes a mask with her hydrating toner and applies it generously with her hands. The mask is removed and followed with a beautiful application of facial moisturizer. When working with organic products, Jannette recommends thoroughly warming the product in your hands before applying to the client’s skin.
FACILITIES
Dtox Day Spa has spacious and accommodating facilities that are more reminiscent of a resort spa. With high ceilings and a large relaxation area, the dim lighting and warm décor evoke relaxation and reflection while awaiting treatment. The spa’s “airy treatment rooms are gently illuminated by candlelight while the expansive relaxation atrium features 15-foot double waterfalls and a large Buddha of healing powers.” With renewable and eco-friendly features, the spa is true to its mission of healing.
