THE BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL
BODY TREATMENTS
by Sorella Apothecary
WHILE MOST ESTHETICIANS PERFORM SERVICES
on the face, services to cover the entire body beyond
waxing have been trending in recent years. Each
step of a body treatment has its benefits, but when
performed as an entire treatment, the benefits of each
step work together to improve overall skin health.
Body treatments have gained in popularity due to their
wide range of benefits, including:
• Improved skin health—Body scrubs exfoliate and
shed dead skin cells and promote cell regeneration,
leading to smoother and more radiant skin.
• Purification—Both products and lymphatic drainage
in body treatments help with this process, drawing
out impurities from the skin and through the
lymphatic system and improving overall wellness.
• Enhanced circulation—Certain techniques used in
body treatments such as dry brushing can stimulate
blood circulation and help deliver oxygen to tissues.
• Stress relief and pain relief—Professional body
treatments can include massage techniques and
involve heat, which can reduce stress levels, soothe
sore muscles, and reduce inflammation.
