Full-body care
The Vila Vita Spa by Sisley Paris has a new, non-invasive and painless facial and body treatment using innovative technology that helps to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce cellulite.
ICOONE involves a combination of mechanical massage, lymphatic drainage and connective tissue stimulation to not only improve circulation but also promote collagen production.
This treatment is also used for body contouring and to tighten the skin, and can be done on its own or combined with the Hypoxi and Indiba treatments.
