Splurge Treatment: I would highly recommend our Power Facial, which uses state-of-the-art IS Clinical products. This facial is perfectly customizable for powerful results. The Power Facial adapts to fit your every concern—from acne to aging to sun damage—while you experience complete tranquility. It begins with a specially selected exfoliating mask to prepare your skin for extraction and detoxification, and concludes with either our Cool Beam or Ultrasonic therapies based on your desired result. Skin is invigorated, hydrated and smooth.

Unique Treatment: Our most unique treatment would be our Glow Body Scrub + Massage (90-minute treatment). This best of both worlds therapy will leave your body and mind glowing. The detoxification and exfoliation of our signature Glow Body Scrub (polish your skin like never before with exhale’s signature body scrub therapy!), dry brushing and body scrubbing techniques are used in tandem to exfoliate and improve the skin while detoxifying the body and increasing circulation. A rich application of antioxidant moisturizer follows. It’s the perfect prep for a new season (or just a new day) is combined with the healing and de-stressing powers of massage for glow-it and show-it results.

Blending fitness with spa experiences, Exhale is best-known for its barre classes with additional offerings including yoga and HIIT.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment would be our CBD Deep Tissue Massage. I am an active person and work out quite heavily so proper recovery is important to me. The CBD oil is the perfect component to take the massage to the next level regarding relieving stiff and sore muscles, as well as decreasing inflammation and swelling. I love the relaxation it also gives my mind post-massage.
