Spashell – the modular, add-on spa facility A pre-built, self-contained facility called Spashell is to debut in March 2016. The modular concept, developed by UK consultancy Spa Creators over the course of four years, is intended to provide an additional revenue stream for boutique hotels and venue-based businesses which might not have the time, money or expertise to design and build their own large-scale spa.
Spashell is a fully functioning spa with six to eight treatment rooms, thermal experiences, deep relaxation area, juice bar and lounge with an outdoor terrace and hot tub. It has a footprint of 500sq m (5,382 ft) and requires no foundations, although owners may need to look at planning permission.
Its modular construction method means it can be installed in two weeks and operational in three. The client provides the mains electric and water which the hub is plumbed into.

Anne Semonin uses cryotherapy Anne Semonin’s new cryotherapy body treatments use ultra-cooling methods to naturally shock the body into action. The cold therapy constricts and then relaxes the blood vessels, allowing products to penetrate the skin more easily. A Cryo-Lipoliss Body Treatment, performed with Cryo Massage Balls, is designed to detox and a deep-release massage treatment uses the Lipoliss Firming Body Serum and the Lipoliss Anti-Cellulite Gel (left) in conjunction with the benefits of cryotherapy.

Scent and colour combined in GX Diffusers Guoxin Electric, China, has designed and manufactured a range of aroma diffusers and humidifiers which use ultrasonic frequency (rather than heat) to create a fine, cool mist.
The newest GX Diffuser is the Petal Shape Oil Diffuser which has a flower-shaped base and a nozzle with colour-changing LED lights that are activated via a sound sensor when someone speaks or music is played. The base comes in natural and dark wood, black or white shades or with an abstract paint effect. It can hold up to 220ml of water and will make a 20-40sq m room smell nice for four to eight hours.

Thalgo goes medical with MCeutic Thalgo has developed a medically-inspired, professional, cosmeceutical brand help combat the signs of ageing and target skin imperfections.
MCeutic has been designed to mimic mesotherapy, but without the injections, thanks to its patented Mésolift Marin ingredient. Mésolift Marin blends vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hyaluronic acid and an anti-ageing nucleoside to “break away from traditional cosmetics, deliver a rigorous cosmetic treatment capable of producing visible effects on the skin.”
Also key is Néo-skin, a patented complex formulated to treat deep blemishes and skin irregularities.
These ingredients underpin MCeutic’s Rénovation Radicale products – including an intensive peel, a ‘detox regenerator’ and resurfacing cream serums – and a diagnostic treatment.

Glass-ceramic covers by Schott to be used in saunas International tech group Schott has developed a glass-ceramic for high-temperature applications. Capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 950?C, Nextrema can be used as a cover for infrared heaters in saunas. While conventional radiant heaters often emit a harsh bright light, covers made from translucent or tinted Nextrema transform the glare of the heater into a pleasant glow, with little heat loss.
The component is already featured in infrared radiant heaters in health and wellness areas, in industrial drying and in outdoor heating where it’s used to warm up terraces, winter gardens, and other private and public outdoor spaces.
