When the time comes to retire, there is no time to waste. Sitting in front of the TV is the last thing we should choose. After years of work and responsibilities, it's time for regeneration and relaxation at the Spa.
The right selection of treatments is the best thing we can offer our body and soul. Although our age mainly resides in our mind, not just the number on our ID, the body of an older person undergoes a series of changes. Therefore, it is worth considering which treatments for seniors will be the most appropriate.
Specifically, it is about recognizing needs and responding appropriately. At the Spa, this involves selecting treatments and cosmetics used. What needs are we talking about? Our skin becomes thin with age and tends to dry out. Sun exposure, lifestyle, and previous skin care have an undeniable impact on its condition. However, one way or another, it cannot be denied that all of us face the issue of the skin's diminishing ability to self-regenerate. Over time, the skin becomes increasingly flaccid, wrinkles become more visible. This is a process that cannot be avoided or reversed, so there is no point in offering seniors rejuvenating treatments because such an offer is unlikely to be believed. However, it is possible to create an offer of moisturizing, regenerating, relaxing, or pain-relieving treatments. What treatments for seniors are recommended by beauticians in Spa salons?
For moisturizing treatments to be effective, they should be based on cosmetics rich in hydrophilic ingredients, i.e., those that bind water and stimulate skin cells to function optimally. These mainly include vitamin C, panthenol, glycerin, and urea. The outer layer of the skin, usually keratinized and rough, becomes less bothersome thanks to these ingredients, and its hydration is noticeably felt. In the Hotel St. Bruno offer, you will find treatments both in the form of full-body massages and facial skin treatments aiming for an intense and immediate effect.
The Silk – Bio Revital exfoliating massage is intended for people with dry and irritated skin, while the Nutri Action Body Treatment is also designed for very dry skin, thoroughly renewing and moisturizing it as well as reducing tension and stress. Our complexion benefits from the Hydra repulp fresh treatment, which acts not only moisturizing but also detoxifying. It stimulates the skin to produce lipids.

Degeneration, joint, muscle, and spine pain are quite common complaints among seniors, increasing with age. Peat or brine baths are an exceptionally good option to reduce pain, stimulate circulation, alleviate dermatological issues, or reduce inflammation in the body. They also improve hydration, general health condition, and fitness. Problems with cold feet, paralysis, or respiratory difficulties are reduced after such treatments. What else besides baths?
Massages are very helpful in dealing with pain. Manual massages are one option, but a Hot Stone Massage is also worth considering. At Hotel St. Bruno, basalt stones are used, but marble stones are also popular. Heated stones are placed on the body oiled with oil and moved from head to feet. The person performing the treatment should have knowledge about chakras and energy unblocking in the body. Circulation problems, heart function, muscle tension, spine pain, or even insomnia or constipation are indications for such a massage. The effects of the treatment include, among others, dilation of blood vessels, unblocking lymph flow, regeneration, and relaxation of the muscular system. However, it is always necessary to confirm with the salon whether the treatment is safe in our case. Certain diseases, such as diabetes, thrombophlebitis, or hypertension, are contraindications to hot stone massage.
Staying on the topic of massages, it is impossible not to mention foot and hand massages, which cause us various problems with age. The feeling of bliss after such a treatment is irreplaceable. So why would we deny ourselves this feeling?
