The ultimate in French spa luxury at Four Seasons

Many little things may get pushed aside amid the crazed hustle and bustle of the holiday season, and taking some special time and solace for ourselves is often the last thing on our minds.

If even for just an hour and a half, try to plan a special treat for yourself. Flare Spa, located on the 41st floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Pudong, Shanghai in the city’s Lujiazui business area, is luxury personified, a holistic oasis of calm where a person can find real tranquility. The atmospheric lighting and artistic touches all lend themselves to the inimitable experience.

While the majority of spas offer Asian-inspired treatments, Flare Spa has instead decided to partner with the prestigious French brand to offer signature Guerlain treatments as part of a carefully created menu of facials, massages, body treatments and salon services.

The spa exclusively utilizes Guerlain’s world-renowned skincare and fragrance products in each personalized therapy, and all therapists have received special training by Guerlain specialists on Guerlain’s exceptional facial massage technique created in 1939. It has been enriched by numerous exclusive protocols to provide the best in aesthetic expertise and maximum efficiency.

Every client who enters Flare Spa holds a unique and personal distinction. This is the essence of the Guerlain experience. While enjoying the facilities of the spa, clients undergo a systematic analysis to personalize their therapies.

Each treatment is uniquely tailored according to the results of a self-assessment questionnaire. Guerlain has developed this tool to precede a precise skin diagnosis and reveal the primary focus. During a pre-treatment consultation, therapists discuss the results of the questionnaire to tailor a therapy that exactly defines a client’s priorities and skincare needs.

Highlighting the new menu at Flare Spa is Guerlain’s signature 90-minute Orchidee Imperiale Facial that is inspired by the remarkable power of longevity found in one of nature’s most beautiful creations, the orchid.

In your own private heaven with a view of the Lujiazui skyline, the therapist escorts you to an area to receive a footbath while you can enjoy a cup of tea and unwind.

The 90-minute experience incorporates deep cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliation, and a firming massage of the face, neck, décolleté and the upper part of the back. Through precise movements, muscles are stimulated and facial contours are redefined. Nourishing masks smooth skin as signs of aging are corrected, and the skin is left with a perfect supple and velvety finish and a natural glow. It is not hard to imagine why the Guerlain facial is a favorite of many.

Additional Guerlain treatments offered include a “Deep Hydrating Facial,” a “Body Relaxing Massage,” and the indulgent “Four Hands at Four Seasons Massage,” a masterful ballet of expert hands performing a unique and absolute sensory experience.

The spa has six treatment rooms including two luxurious VIP spa suites with steam, sauna, rainshower and whirlpool for two. In addition to Guerlain signature treatments and products, the spa offers the latest spa therapies using the finest products in the world.
