New York may be our biggest archrival, at least when it comes to baseball, but when it comes to spa-ing, the Big Apple may be our new best frenemy. SKIN SPA New York has recently come to town offering laser hair removal, massage, body treatments and facials designed to transform your skin into a luminous glow. The spa has seven Manhattan locations (Midtown, SoHo, Upper East Side, Flatiron/Chelsea, Mid-East/Murray Hill, Fashion District and Midtown West), and this is the first one to come to Boston.

The new spa is located at the intersection of Gloucester Street in Back Bay. We recently visited SKIN SPA New York located on the third floor of a Newbury Street brownstone for a couple's massage. The 3,100 square foot spa has 14 treatment rooms where the professional aestheticians perform an array of luxe treatments using SKIN SPA’s custom line, KISKIN, and PCA Skin which targets acne, hyperpigmentation and aging. Whether you have fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, sun damage, age spots or unwanted hair, the experts here will leave you looking and feeling beautiful.

We were greeted by our therapists, Larry and Iris, who showed us to the treatment room where our 50-minute massage would take place. The spa does not have locker rooms so we changed in the room after our therapists left. When they returned, my husband received a Swedish massage that melted away stress from his tense shoulders while Iris used pressure point therapy to pinpoint the exact locations of my own painful stress. The massages were both so relaxing we couldn't believe nearly an hour had passed when it was time to go. The treatments can be tailored to focus on your own areas of stress-filled concern.

In addition to the signature skin treatments, SKIN SPA offers waxing, laser hair removal, and organic sunless tanning as well as personalized body treatments such as the Micro Buff Body Polish, Detoxifying Black Baltic and Firming Seaweed Mud, and a Luxe Hydrating Wrap.

After just one treatment, our massage professionals left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. SKIN SPA New York also offers a monthly membership that includes one treatment each month such as a customized facial, microdermabrasion treatment, power peel, 50-minute Swedish or deep tissue massage, organic sunless tanning or Brazilian wax + choice of upper lip, chin or underarm wax.

The spa provided for such a quiet and much needed respite just steps away from the hustle of the outside city life. SKIN SPA New York is located at 284 Newbury Street in Boston.
