New Spa Services on Spirit

[Goldens4]

Per an article in Travel and Leisure, The Spa on the Spirit will be offering Botox, Perlane, and Restylane injections. The article did not say when this is going to be implemented or whether it is already being done. Just an FYI!:)

I cannot imagine why anyone would ever do these procedures on vacation? Besides which, you'll have a slight bruise at the point of needle entry and you don't have the optimum results of said treatments for up to two weeks after the shots.

 

I don't get it. But that's me.

I agree completely plus I would want to know the experience level of the injector.

I heard he did Phyliss Diller and Moms Mabley :D

[wripro]

You could have it done on the last day of the cruise so the healing would take place at home. Of course, you might not look like your passport picture!

Does the ship's doctor administer these synthetic injectables? :rolleyes:

 

NO WAY !!!

[Goldens4]

Bill, you are a character. wripro, if you have any problems or need a fix, you have no recourse. dusababy, I am with you. I would like to know what they charge since their regular Spa treatments are double what the price is in the Atlanta area.

[Northerncheapo]

of course, I wasn't speaking from personal experience about the bruising or how long before the effects actually take place ;)

[Goldens4]

Of course. Me neither.

I will be on in 15 days; so I will have DW in to make her look like Angelina Jolie !!:eek:

Bill, you better watch out. Your DW may be saving up to pay for your transformation to a Brad Pitt look-alike.....:)

Just finished the 11/6 sailing and yes, there's a doctor who does this on the Spirit. Not the ship's doctor - I spoke to him while in the spa (he hangs around the desk) and was curious about this as well. He does Botox and the next gen Dysport, along with Restylane & Perlane. Pricing seemed comparable to what I've heard in California, and it's good that it's a doctor & not a technician like I've seen at a few spas (yikes!)

Thanks for the info. beckaboo. Nice to hear it is a doctor. Just wondering what kind of Dr.;)

Marcie, the doctor on Spirit took 8 tries before successfully giving me an IV! And then charged $7,200.00 for 11 hours in the infirmary before I was taken off the ship in an ambulance in the early hours upon docking in Tenerife.

Marcie, if I remember correctly, the spa doctor is an MD who graduated from a university in Monterrey, MX... he's in addition to the ship's doctor.

[Goldens4]

Oh, Charlie! That must have hurt! My veins are hard to find, but dang, I've never been poked 8 times.:eek:

 

Thanks, beckaboo for the info. I've heard through the grapevine in my neck of the woods, that folks are going to Mexico and the Dominican Republic for Plastic Surgery for cost savings. I saw a "product" of a clinic in Mexico City and she looks great. Of course, none of us on these boards need it.;)

Indeed! Enough cruises + administration of champagne + tea pastries cures all wrinkles :)
