What is a Vichy Shower?
Vichy is pronounced “Vee-shee” and named after the French town of Vichy which is known for its thermal springs. Five Senses is the only facility in the Peoria area to house a Vichy shower. This state-of-the-art wet room with tiled walls and floor showcases a waterproof spa table to rest on while you get showered by seven shower heads of varying pressure and temperature. Enjoy an invigorating and therapeutic water massage, washing your tensions away.
What to expect. During a Vichy shower session, the client lies on the table while the therapist adjusts the temperature and intensity of the water jets. The multiple showerheads are then used to cascade warm water over the body, providing a soothing and relaxing experience. Your esthetician can customize the water pressure and temperature to meet your individual preferences.
Key features and benefits of a Vichy shower include:
Muscle Tension Relief: The hydrotherapy massage effect aids in releasing muscle tension and promoting muscle relaxation.
Exfoliation: The Vichy shower is combined with exfoliating scrubs and Aveda skincare products to enhance skin texture through gentle exfoliation and dry brushing.
Improved Circulation: The combination of water pressure and warmth can stimulate blood circulation, contributing to overall well-being.
Hydration: The continuous flow of water helps hydrate the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
How to prepare. Feel free to arrive early, communicate preferences to your esthetician, and allow time for post-shower relaxation in our Spa Sanctuary. Disposable undergarments, robe, and spa sandals are provided.
