Spa Capsules - Background and Usage

Remember when Steam and Sauna rooms were the mainstays of a health club, before health spas came to the fore? Although not as prevalent as newer spa treatments, partly because of the expense of the facilities required, both are still an effective way to promote health and wellness by applying moist or dry heat to cleanse the body of toxins.

With the advent of health spas, sophisticated Body Treatments have become a popular way to condition the skin and promote overall body health. Applying seaweeds, muds, and other specialized treatment products to the body along with a body wrap to generate heat, will not only remove toxins from the body but also infuse vitamins and minerals into the body.

As European style spa treatments were adopted in the U.S., the Vichy Shower became a popular platform for offering body treatments. This provided an effective way to rinse off treatment products, saving the client a chilly trip to the shower.

One European maker of body treatment products envisioned a way to improve the beneficial results from their products: a private chamber designed to enclose and heat the body while allowing more freedon and comfort than the body wrap. They developed the idea and Voila! the Spa Capsule was born. Initially a simple device that enclosed a wet table and provided steam heat to replace the need for a wrap, the Spa Capsule has continued to evolve and become more sophisticated.

The ultimate result of this evolution is the new line of Multi-Sensory Spa Capsules from Sybaritic, Inc., a world class manufacturer of equipment for spa and medical applications. Sybaritic has been developing and enhancing spa capsules for two decades, and has placed over 20,000 capsules in spas and clinics world-wide.

In addition to providing a private environment for body treatments, these capsules now offer a wide range of water therapy functions to enhance and expand the range of services offered.

The Spa-Jet amazingly offers all the above functions - Steam, Sauna, and Vichy Shower - in a single private capsule, and further enhances the experience with Chromatherapy, Aromatherapy, vitamin/mineral mist, and multi-media features. A variety of pre-set programs combines all these functions into comprehensive, repeatable treatment programs.

The Oceana further extends the capabilities of the Spa-Jet to include a full-featured Hydrotherapy Tub, complete with Hand Jet for underwater massage treatments.

The Feng Shui is a lower-priced version that omits the Vichy Shower, so no plumbing is required. This unit still provides the steam and sauna heat functions, as well as the other functions of the Spa-Jet model.

Regardless of the model chosen, these capsules are versatile units that offer substantial benefits to both the client and the spa owner:

Clients appreciate the warmth and privacy of an enclosure, rather than being exposed as with a normal Vichy Shower.

Spa owners appreciate the cost savings from a single piece of equipment that can act as a wet table, Vichy Shower, steam and sauna facilities, and hydrotherapy tub. They benefit from a flexible treatment room that is used for multiple services, helping to assure a high level of utilization.

To insure successful operation, onsite training by a licensed esthetician is included, covering operation of the equipment as well as how to introduce spa clients to this unique system.
