Technology makes going to the spa convenient, affordable and adds privacy too

May 26, 2009, OAKVILLE – Forty per cent of North Americans don’t like to be touched, which explains why many people avoid going to spas, despite their needs, or desire to be healthier and look better – but with the introduction of innovative spa technologies, North Americans can now have spa treatments in total privacy.

Besides making a spa experience convenient and affordable, Planet Beach’s use of innovative technologies enables the sessions to be fully automated and private – as the equipment displaces the need for a therapist.

“At Planet Beach Contempo® Spa, each piece of spa equipment is designed for a specific task and is located in its own room,” says Master Franchisee Nicole Matta. “Once a client enters their assigned room and shuts the door, they begin their private spa session – just the client and the machine – no spa attendant is needed or present.”

Using state of the art spa technology, Planet Beach offers a variety of spa services ranging from full body facials, advanced light therapy sessions, hydro-massage beds that target vital pressure points, to a heated shiatsu massage bed, and much more.

“For most treatments, all you need to do is take off your suit jacket and shoes and let the equipment do all the work and ease the day’s tensions away,” says Nicole. “It really is the ultimate in hassle-free spa-ing.”

Planet Beach Contempo® Spa in Oakville, launched just last year, noted that the health and wellness numbers are growing despite poor economic conditions. History shows, that, whatever the economic climate, people spend money on themselves – looking good and living healthier lives are among the top priorities.

“Our self-serve model, while not designed for a financial crisis, has largely benefited from the slowdown because our spa and salon services are easy to use and affordable,” says Nicole Matta. “The fact that our treatments offer total privacy is a bonus.”

Spa services and treatments are an important part of maintaining beautiful skin and a healthy lifestyle.

Owning franchises that grow during market downturns help beat back recession

Owning franchises that grow during market downturns help beat back recession
Planet Beach Contempo® Spa is new, modern, innovative and growing

March 30, 2009, OAKVILLE – Buying a franchise, while a good idea during a recession, doesn’t in itself guarantee success. However, buying a franchise with market share that’s growing during economic unrest, is a step in the right direction.

Planet Beach Contempo® Spas are one such franchise. They’re the world’s first and only automated day spa – leaders in the multi-billion dollar wellness and beauty industry. They’re unique, new, innovative, and growing.

This isn’t surprising, as the beauty, health and wellness industries survive and even flourish in times of recession. Tough economic times bring on more stress, and as a result society searches for ways to get relief, uplift their mood and to feel better about themselves.

“People like to escape from the pressurized realities of life – some go to movies; others go to health and beauty spas,” says Ontario Master Franchisee, Nicole Matta. “What we’re currently experiencing is an extension of ‘lipstick theory’ that arose from previous economic downturns.”

The past shows us that the beauty and spa industry is nearly recession-proof. Not even today's economic weaknesses stop the public's insatiable demand for ways to relieve stress, look younger, feel sexier and live healthier lives.

The hottest health and beauty cravings are massage, facials, skincare, UV tanning, skin hydration, nutrition and teeth whitening, and Planet Beach Contempo® Spas offer all of them under one roof – a one-stop health and beauty centre.

“The reason for Planet Beach Contempo® Spas’ success is not only because we provide services and products that people want during tough economic times, but that we provide these services at an economical and affordable price,” says Nicole Matta. “After all, income’s tighter during a recession, making price a factor.”

When considering buying a franchise, searching for companies whose products and services are in growing demand during tough economic times is a good place to start – such as the beauty, health and wellness industry.

Enjoy the benefits of relaxation and soaking up the sun without going south
Planet Beach Contempo® Spa is like having a beach in your own backyard all year round

February 26, 2009, OAKVILLE – After four months of prolonged exposure to Canada’s dry, cold and dark winter, the human body is literally sun-starved and gasping for UV rays and some relaxation – and in only minutes at Planet Beach Contempo® Spa, a guest can experience the same health benefits of spending a day at the beach.

With spring break just around the corner, many families are busy planning their trip south, while many other families are merely wishing they were. But for those who don’t get to go or want to experience the benefits of a warm southern exposure all year round, visiting therapeutic spas that offer UV light therapy is the next best thing – now imagine a spa that offers the private massage in the cabana as well – things can’t get much better.

“It is no secret that light therapy treatments are known to have a number of health benefits,” says Planet Beach Contempo® Spa Master Franchisee Nicole Matta. “It’s proven effective in treating acne, psoriasis, seasonal affective disorder, and non-seasonal depression – not only does it improve skin conditions, it makes you feel better, brighter and more energetic.”

Planet Beach Contempo® Spa uses state-of-the-art spa technology and advanced light therapy enabling guests to enjoy, in the privacy of their own room, the best in UV and relaxation therapies.

“My doctor wanted to know how I fixed my “trapezius [muscle]”. She was astounded and said she would do anything I was doing to get her trapezius to feel like mine. My blood pressure is down, my mood is up – I come every day for my “wellness” time,” says one member of Oakville’s Planet Beach Contempo® Spa. “It’s the best thing anyone can do for themselves.”

Guests have the choice of relaxing and unwinding on a Hydro-Massage bed, target vital pressure points and invigorate tired muscles with the heated Therasage shiatsu massage bed, or just sit in a Japanese Executive massage chair where all you need to do is take off your suit jacket and shoes and let the chair ease the day’s tensions away.

“So whether you come for a tan, UV therapy, or just to relax with any one of our many massage therapy units, just put on a relaxation tune with the sound of waves hitting the shore, close your eyes, and you will not just think you’re at the beach, you’ll experience the benefits of a day at the beach like no other,” says Nicole Matta. “And should you decide to become a member and visit regularly, not only will you feel better, your skin will be noticeably healthier and more youthful-looking.”

Using only the latest in skin-care technologies, it’s an affordable alternative to your more traditional salons and spas, where both services can be experienced with minimal time commitment on the same day, in one location, and in one spa. And Planet Beach offers much, much more than even this.

For example, the Luminous Facial is the latest in skin rejuvenation, and uses phototherapy to provide noticeable improvement to the complexion offering an overall healthier, more youthful appearance. There is no nip and tuck, as this natural approach to skin-care gives a 20-minute facial treatment that combats fine lines, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.

Lumière Topical Skincare represents the first-ever line of topical skincare products formulated specifically to work with the Lumière Light-ThèrapieTM device in combination with Photon Absorption Therapy. The products provided in the Lumière Skincare line collectively encompass every aspect of daily facial skincare that is required to promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a new breed of skin care, as all treatments are fully automated, enabling customers to pamper both face and body at the press of a button, in privacy and on their own schedule.

“People care about maintaining their youthful appearances, and with a clientele base that is 40 per cent male and 60 per cent female, these facial services are appreciated by both genders alike,” says Nicole Matta. “They make an excellent Valentine’s gift for any partner.”

For those who like natural skin-care options, the PB Skincare line offers clear and simple solutions for all skin types. Their trained Consultant will recommend one of three skincare regimes.
